[Timestamp: 5:36 p.m.] • PULLED FROM CONSENT None • DISCUSSION AGENDA 4. 714 WEST MOUNTAIN AVENUE FORT COLLINS LANDMARK DESIGNATION PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Staff is pleased to present for your consideration the Thode House located at 714 West Mountain Avenue. The property has significance to Fort Collins under Landmark Preservation Standard C. APPLICANT: Henry Thode III Staff Report Mr. Weinberg presented the staff report. Applicant Presentation None Public Input None Commission Questions and Discussion A Member asked about the porch, whether it was screened in, and if it was original. Mr. Weinberg stated that no building permits were found that would document any additions. Mr. Thode stated the front porch was already screened in 1955 when they moved in, but he had found a picture from a tax assessment in 1948 where the porch was not screened. Mr. Weinberg also mentioned that there is an approved plan for an addition to the back of the house, which was approved through the demo/alt process several months ago. Another Member asked whether Standard B was considered in the nomination because of Alexander Ault. Mr. Weinberg said they didn’t have enough information to support a strong connection to him. Chair Sladek said he felt strongly that the designation should be approved, but was concerned about the quality of the nomination and would like to see some additional research and changes. He detailed a number of specific concerns, and said he would send his notes to Staff. In response to a Commission question, Mr. Weinberg clarified that a designation would not impact the previous decision in the demo/alt review. Members discussed that the entire property would be designated, not just the house, despite what the name “Thode House” might imply. City of Fort Collins Page 2 1.a Packet Pg. 5 Attachment: Draft LPC June 10, 2015 Minutes (3308 : Minutes of June 10, 2015) The Commission questioned the integrity of the carriage house. Members were not in agreement about whether the carport was reversible since it is attached. There was discussion about why the carriage house had shingles rather than siding, and how old it might be. There was a comment that the carriage house was not addressed at all in the nomination or staff report. Members were unable to determine whether the carriage house was contributing or non-contributing to the designation without more documentation. Members discussed whether the designation could be approved with a caveat that Staff make the requested changes, but ultimately the Commission felt the decision should to be tabled until the next regular meeting in order to allow Staff to make the necessary improvements to the nomination. Commission Deliberation Mr. Ernest moved that the Landmark Preservation Commission request that Preservation Staff do additional research on the Thode House property at 714 West Mountain Avenue to answer questions raised by the Commission at the meeting of June 10, 2015. Ms. Wallace seconded. Mr. Lingle suggested amending the motion to say that the Commission is tabling the landmark designation of 714 West Mountain Avenue to the regular meeting of July 2015. The amendment to the motion was accepted by Mr. Ernest and seconded by Ms. Wallace. Motion passed 9-0. [Timestamp: 6:10 p.m.] 5. REQUEST TO RENAME THE LANDMARK PROPERTY AT 1009 WEST MOUNTAIN AVENUE PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is a request to rename the Fort Collins Landmark property located at 1009 West Mountain Avenue, currently known as the Wiggins House and Garage, to the Wiggins/Taylor Property, in recognition of long-time owner Patricia Taylor. APPLICANT: Patricia Taylor Staff Report Ms. McWilliams presented the staff report. Applicant Presentation Ms. Taylor addressed the Commission. She clarified the date she acquired the home was actually August of 1974. The deed of trust had the names George and Patricia Dickson. In the 1980’s, she changed her name to Patricia Lynn Dickson Taylor. Ms. Taylor explained her connection to the Wiggins family, stating that she was a nurse at Poudre Valley Hospital and Orla Mae Wiggins was a long term patient whom she cared for until she passed. During that time, she and her husband were looking for a home in which to raise their family. Conversations with the Wiggins’ about her house search resulted in an opportunity for her to purchase the house at the age of 26. After leaving Poudre Valley Hospital, Ms. Taylor worked as the nurse for The Point, which was the first free clinic in Fort Collins, at 503 Remington. It was also the first free legal aid and the start of the Fort Collins Food Co-op. After funding ran out for The Point, she resumed her career as an investigator for abuse and neglect with Social Services until she retired to pursue another career. Ms. Taylor distributed pictures of the interior of the home to the Commission. She explained that she has removed the window bench in the back bedroom and put in sliding glass doors and a deck. The landscaping in the back yard includes many of the same flowers planted by the Wiggins’. Public Input None Commission Questions and Discussion City of Fort Collins Page 3 1.a Packet Pg. 6 Attachment: Draft LPC June 10, 2015 Minutes (3308 : Minutes of June 10, 2015) A Member asked about the criteria for naming designated properties. Ms. McWilliams said there are no set standards for naming, but they often use earliest long term resident, or another resident who is historically significant. Members commented that it would strengthen the request if Ms. Taylor’s history and association with the Wiggins’ family were included in the documentation before forwarding to City Council. One Member inquired about the pineapple tiles, and Ms. Taylor she added them as a welcome to the home. Commission Deliberation Ms. Bzdek moved that the Landmark Preservation Commission rename the Fort Collins Landmark property located at 1009 West Mountain Avenue currently known as the Wiggins House and Garage, to the Wiggins/Taylor Property, which will recognize long-time owner Patricia Taylor and her historical connection to the Wiggins family. Mr. Ernest suggested that the motion should be a recommendation to the Council. Ms. Bzdek agreed with the amendment. Ms. Gensmer seconded. Motion passed 9-0. [Timestamp: 6:27 p.m.] • OTHER BUSINESS None • ADJOURNMENT Chair Sladek adjourned the meeting at 6:27 p.m. Minutes respectfully submitted by Gretchen Schiager.

Special Meeting June 24, 2015 MINUTES • CALL SPECIAL MEETING TO ORDER Chair Sladek called the meeting to order at 5:33 p.m. • ROLL CALL PRESENT: Dunn, Zink, Bzdek, Hogestad, Wallace, Gensmer, Sladek ABSENT: Ernest, Lingle STAFF: McWilliams, Weinberg, Schiager • PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA None • DISCUSSION AGENDA 1. 714 WEST MOUNTAIN AVENUE FORT COLLINS LANDMARK DESIGNATION - CONTINUATION PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Staff is pleased to present for your consideration the Ault/Thode Property located at 714 West Mountain Avenue. The property has significance to Fort Collins under Landmark Preservation Standard C. This is the continuation of the discussion that was tabled at the Commission’s June 10th Regular Meeting. The Commission’s comments from that meeting have been addressed in the revised Landmark Designation application. Landmark Preservation Commission City of Fort Collins Page 1 June 24, 2015 2.a Packet Pg. 9 Attachment: Draft LPC June 24, 2015 Minutes (3309 : Minutes of June 24, 2015) APPLICANT: Henry P. Thode III Staff Report Mr. Weinberg presented the staff report, addressing the concerns raised by the Commission at the last meeting. Background information about the property’s relationship to Alexander Ault has been added to the designation documentation. Staff did not find strong enough evidence to recommend the property be deemed significant under Standard B based on its association with him. The integrity of the carriage house and the impact of the carport have been addressed in the updated documentation. Additional details about the architecture have also been added to the documentation. Applicant Presentation There was no presentation. However, Mr. Thode commented that, in response to Commission questions at the previous meeting, he had provided additional information to Staff about his father’s medical career, and Staff had updated the documentation accordingly. Public Input None Commission Questions and Discussion A Member asked if there was new information about the wood shingles on the garage. Staff said the shingles had been there as long as the Applicant could remember, but there is no substantial documentation to indicate whether the shingles were original. Another Member pointed out a minor error of a missing word (graduate) in the last paragraph of page 8. Chair Sladek stated that Staff had adequately addressed his concerns and questions from the last meeting. He suggested Mr. Weinberg add his own name to the application as a preparer. Chair Sladek asked the Commission if they felt the carriage house was contributing or non- contributing to the eligibility. Members were in agreement that in terms of the integrity criteria, the carriage house leans toward being contributing. They also discussed the carport, noting that since it could be removed, and on its own has no significance, it could be excluded from the designation. Ms. Dunn asked for clarification on the timeline of the naming of the town of Ault in relation to when Alexander Ault purchased the property. Staff said it was unclear exactly when the town was named, but it was prior to the Ault family purchasing this property in 1909. The Applicant read a quote from Coloradotown.com, stating that “Ault, Co. was incorporated in 1904 and was first named McAllister. The town’s name was changed to Burgdorff Siding before it acquired its current name in 1897." Commission Deliberation Ms. Zink moved that the Landmark Preservation Commission recommend to City Council that they pass an ordinance designating the Ault/Thode Property located at 714 West Mountain Avenue as a Fort Collins Landmark according to City Code Chapter 14, under Designation Standard C, with the exception that the carport is recognized as a non-contributing element. Ms. Gensmer seconded. Motion passed 7-0. [Timestamp: 5:50 p.m.] • OTHER BUSINESS None • ADJOURNMENT Chair Sladek adjourned the meeting at 5:51 p.m. Minutes respectfully submitted by Gretchen Schiager. City of Fort Collins Page 2 June 24, 2015 2.a Packet Pg. 10 Attachment: Draft LPC June 24, 2015 Minutes (3309 : Minutes of June 24, 2015) Agenda Item 3 Item # 3 Page 1 STAFF REPORT July 8, 2015 Landmark Preservation Commission PROJECT NAME 254/256 LINDEN STREET; FINAL DESIGN REVIEW OF PROPOSED SIGNS STAFF Josh Weinberg, City Planner PROJECT INFORMATION PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is a request for Final Design Review for proposed signage on the building at 254/256 Linden Street, which is within the Old Town Historic District. APPLICANT: Brandon Silar; Lark Design/Build EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BACKGROUND: The building at 252/254/256 Linden Street is a non-contributing element of the Old Town Historic District. The non-contributing status is a result of the alterations the building has undergone. It is, however, the oldest building in the historic district according to the County Assessor, with an 1867 construction date. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting to add signage to the building in multiple locations: a lighted marquee and vertical cabinet sign on the building’s northern corner; poster cabinet and door locators on the northwestern elevation; and rectangular lighted cabinet sign on the northeastern elevation. The applicant was recently granted several variances from the Zoning Board of Appeals, allowing for the sizes and types of signs proposed in this application from a zoning perspective. Please reference the enclosed packet from the applicant for sketches and photographs of the proposed project, and also the following statement and project description from the applicant that was included when this item was reviewed by the Commission in March, 2015 as a Conceptual Design Review (please note that some of the proposal has changed slightly following zoning variances): “The Downtown Artery is going through an exciting transition! The entire downstairs of the current 252/254/256 Linden Building is being remodeled to support a café and toast bar, a recording studio and practice space for local musicians, and a 225-person live music venue. Work is underway on this 7,000 sqft change-of-occupancy and tenant finish project, and is expected to wrap up by the summer months. To identify the cluster of businesses both at sidewalk level and above - and to bring exterior interest to an otherwise non-descript building - the approximately twenty businesses located in the Artery building are proposing to add signage to the various faces of the building to highlight their ecosystem of artists, musicians, support businesses, and shared resources. Instead of individual signs identifying each of the twenty businesses, the Artery folks want to put forward a consolidated brand around the building name (aka: “The Downtown Artery”), with a modest cluster of smaller way-finding and support signage, such as poster cabinets to display art, band posters, or event announcements. The keystone of the signage concept is a large corner sign to highlight the heart of the building’s draw to the public: the live music venue. An intended secondary goal of this sign is also to highlight Linden as a major 3 Packet Pg. 11 Agenda Item 3 Item # 3 Page 2 downtown circulation element from the Jefferson route, and to draw passing traffic out either direction on Linden to patronize our growing end of downtown. While the signage concept is significantly smaller than the signage area allowance for this building, the marquee/flag sign does exceed a few of the massing constraints outlined in the sign code, and the Artery is concurrently seeking approval of these variances through the zoning process. Due to the vintage of the Linden street façade and an overall drive to keep consistent with the authentic feel of the architectural inventory in downtown Fort Collins, the businesses are proposing a vintage concept - a deco-inspired marquee with corner-flag signage. Both the form and technology have drawn heavily from research into vintage signs from the beginning of the 20th century. The proposed Artery sign would be a metal cabinet marquee with vintage extruded letters (clip-in). The marquee would wrap the corner of the building in the location of the original signage used in the middle of the last century. The lighted marquee would be backlit with a simple white to highlight the black or red marquee letters at night. Above the marquee, mounted to a gloss-painted metal panel, the “Artery” text would be constructed of individually riveted, gloss-painted, boxed letters made from sheet metal. These letters, at about 2’ in height (each), would be lit with a double-stroke neon pattern, and would glow a warm red at night. These “Artery” letters would gently skew toward both frontages on either side of the center panel, so as to be readable from as many angles as possible around the intersection of Linden and Jefferson. Above the “Artery” letters and panel, the Artery flourish would cap the flag, also traced in double-stroke neon. Additional neon-style accents would be added to the edge of the panel, and as modest striping to ad glow to the entire sign at night. To attain that neon-look throughout the sign while staying consistent with the Artery’s energy-conservation goals, the entire sign is designed to be lighted with a new LED technology that exactly mimics neon at a fraction of the energy use, and without the inclusion of mercury-filled tubing; the Artery folks will demonstrate this technology during the review process. Additional address-specific signage on the Linden facade would remain consistent with the marquee/flag in color, material and height from ground, but would be purely diminutive in stature with their purpose being for door identification. We are also asking approval for sidewalk-level poster cabinets which consist of shallow, lit, lockable glass display cabinets to house rotating artwork or event advertising." STANDARDS/GUIDELINES: Typically, when the Commission reviews alterations to non-contributing buildings in a historic district, their concern is the impact changes will have on the character of the district, as a whole. Alterations to properties in Fort Collins Landmark Districts are reviewed for compliance with Municipal Code Section 14-48, “Approval of Proposed Work;” the Secretary of the Interior’s standards for Rehabilitation; and applicable sections of the Old Town Design Standards (http://www.fcgov.com/historicpreservation/pdf/old-town- design-guidelines.pdf). Sec. 14-48. Approval of proposed work. In determining the decision to be made concerning the issuance of a report of acceptability, the Commission shall consider the following criteria: (1) The effect of the proposed work upon the general historical and/or architectural character of the landmark or landmark district; (2) The architectural style, arrangement, texture and materials of existing and proposed improvements, and their relation to the sites, structures and objects in the district; (3) The effects of the proposed work in creating, changing or destroying the exterior characteristics of the site, structure or object upon which such work is to be done; (4) The effect of the proposed work upon the protection, enhancement, perpetuation and use of the landmark or landmark district; (5) The extent to which the proposed work meets the standards of the city and the United States Secretary of the Interior then in effect for the preservation, reconstruction, restoration or rehabilitation of historic resources. 3 Packet Pg. 12 Agenda Item 3 Item # 3 Page 3 Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation Rehabilitation is defined as the act or process of making possible a compatible use for a property through repair, alterations, and additions while preserving those portions or features which convey its historical, cultural, or architectural values. 1. Rehabilitation Standard 1. A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal change to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships; 2. Rehabilitation Standard 2. The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided. 3. Rehabilitation Standard 3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or elements from other historic properties, will not be undertaken. 4. Rehabilitation Standard 4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained and preserved. 5. Rehabilitation Standard 5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved. 6. Rehabilitation Standard 6. Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color, texture, and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence. 7. Rehabilitation Standard 7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used. 8. Rehabilitation Standard 8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken. 9. Rehabilitation Standard 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment. 10. Rehabilitation Standard 10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.

APPLICANT: Scott Ranweiler, Bohemian Companies OWNER: Bohemian Companies RECOMMENDATION: N/A EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Description of Proposed Work: The proposal is for the creation of a painted mural, in the trompe l’oeil style. The mural would generally depict the wall of the building as it would likely look if it were not covered over with plaster. The existing plaster appears to be a cementitious material, applied to the underlying brick. The plaster is integral to the structural stability of the brick wall, and cannot be removed without damaging the brick face. The proposed paint is a water-based, latex, exterior house paint. This is a high resolution, low fade, UV resistant, semi-gloss product. The mural artist is Fort Collins resident Terry McNerney. McNerney began his career as an art student at the University of Northern Colorado, but switched his focus to History, earning a degree from CSU. His interests in history are his main inspiration for his works. McNerney has been painting murals since 1997, and has transformed many a blank wall and transformer ox in Northern Colorado over the past 10+ years. One of his best known murals is “Jazz Alley,” a 2-story, 1,500 square foot mural located between Mountain and Walnut in the narrow alley separating the Bohemian Companies from the Fort Collins Food Co-op. History: Designed by E. M. Cole, architect and builder, and constructed in 1905 for a cost of $5,000, the Forrester Block is a contributing element of the Old Town Fort Collins National Register District (1978) and of the locally landmarked Old Town District (1979). Built close to the intersection of Walnut and East Mountain Avenue, historically the Forrester Block had a Walnut Street address. More recently associated with the former EDAW/AECOM offices and the Food Coop, it now is addressed as 240 East Mountain Avenue. Applicable Processes and Codes: Alterations to designated Landmark properties are reviewed for compliance with the standards and criteria contained in Municipal Code Section 14-48, “Report of Acceptability”: A) If … the Commission finds that the proposed work is of a nature that will not erode the authenticity or destroy any distinctive exterior feature or characteristic of the improvements or site and is compatible with the distinctive characteristics of the landmark or landmark district and with the spirit and purpose of this Chapter, the Commission shall advise the applicant in writing by issuing a report of acceptability…. 4 Packet Pg. 18 Agenda Item 4 Item # 4 Page 2 B) In determining the decision to be made concerning the issuance of a report of acceptability, the Commission shall consider the following criteria: (1) The effect of the proposed work upon the general historical and/or architectural character of the landmark or landmark district; (2) The architectural style, arrangement, texture and materials of existing and proposed improvements, and their relation to the landmark or the sites, structures and objects in the district; (3) The effects of the proposed work in creating, changing, obscuring or destroying the exterior characteristics of the site, structure or object upon which such work is to be done; (4) The effect of the proposed work upon the protection, enhancement, perpetuation and use of the landmark or landmark district; (5) The extent to which the proposed work meets the standards of the City and the United States Secretary of the Interior for the preservation, reconstruction, restoration or rehabilitation of historic resources. Of the ten Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation, staff feels that #s 9 and 10 would be applicable to this proposal: • Rehabilitation Standard 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment. • Rehabilitation Standard 10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.

APPLICANT: Don Bernholtz, Architecture Plus OWNER: First Bank Colorado RECOMMENDATION: N/A EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Description of Proposed Work: The proposal is for the creation of a painted mural on the common wall forming the west elevation of the Kissock Block, 115-121 East Mountain; and the wall forming the north elevation of the Brinker Grocery/Shanahan Building (Starry Night) at 112 South College. The mural would generally depict flowers. The existing walls are integral to the structural stability of the historic brick walls, and likely cannot be removed without damaging the brick faces. The proposed paint is “Paramount”, a water-based, latex paint, in satin sheen, manufactured by Diamond Vogel. The mural artist is Fort Collins resident Gale Whitman. Whitman earned a BA in biology with a minor in art from Hastings College in 1988. In 1991, she moved to Fort Collins to attend graduate school at CSU, and she received an MS in anatomy / medical illustration in 1993. She then worked as a medical illustrator for 10 years in Fort Collins. Whitman enjoys drawing inspiration from nature and the human spirit. An Art in Public Places spokesperson, Whitman has painted several transformers and pianos located throughout Fort Collins. Applicable Processes and Codes: Constructed circa 1907, the Brinker Grocery/Shanahan Building was designated as a Fort Collins Landmark in 1992. The Kissock Block dates to 1895, and is designated individually on the National Register of Historic Places (1985), but is not designated as a Fort Collins Landmark. Alterations to designated Landmark properties (the Brinker Grocery/Shanahan Building, 112 South College Avenue) are reviewed for compliance with the standards and criteria contained in Municipal Code Section 14-48, “Report of Acceptability”: A) If … the Commission finds that the proposed work is of a nature that will not erode the authenticity or destroy any distinctive exterior feature or characteristic of the improvements or site and is compatible with the distinctive characteristics of the landmark or landmark district and with the spirit and purpose of this Chapter, the Commission shall advise the applicant in writing by issuing a report of acceptability…. B) In determining the decision to be made concerning the issuance of a report of acceptability, the Commission 5 Packet Pg. 23 Agenda Item 5 Item # 5 Page 2 shall consider the following criteria: (1) The effect of the proposed work upon the general historical and/or architectural character of the landmark or landmark district; (2) The architectural style, arrangement, texture and materials of existing and proposed improvements, and their relation to the landmark or the sites, structures and objects in the district; (3) The effects of the proposed work in creating, changing, obscuring or destroying the exterior characteristics of the site, structure or object upon which such work is to be done; (4) The effect of the proposed work upon the protection, enhancement, perpetuation and use of the landmark or landmark district; (5) The extent to which the proposed work meets the standards of the City and the United States Secretary of the Interior for the preservation, reconstruction, restoration or rehabilitation of historic resources. Of the ten Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation, staff feels that #s 9 and 10 would be applicable to this proposal: • Rehabilitation Standard 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment. • Rehabilitation Standard 10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.
