AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY ITEM NUMBER: 17
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL DATE: October 17, 2000STAFF:
Karen McWilliams
SUBJECT:
First Reading of Ordinance No. 141, 2000, Designating the Henry Jessup/Cal Johnson Farm
Buildings, 2902 Rigden Parkway,as a Historic Landmark Pursuant to Chapter 14 of the City Code.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. At a public hearing held on
September 13, 2000, the Landmark Preservation Commission unanimously recommended
designation of these buildings as a landmark for their architectural importance to Fort Collins.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The owner of the property, Rigden Farm, LLC, is initiating this request for Fort Collins Landmark
designation for the Henry Jessup/Cal Johnson Farm Buildings. The buildings and structures are
architecturally significant as examples of a c.1920s Craftsman style agricultural farmhouse, with
associated farm structures.
History - The farm consists of a Craftsman style residence, a bam, a garage, a chicken coop, and
a bunk house. The Landmark Preservation Commission, at its May 12, 1999 meeting, determined
that these buildings and structures had sufficient architectural significance that they would retain
their eligibility for designation as a Fort Collins Landmark, even after being moved to their new
location at the center of the Rigden Farm development. The buildings and structures have been
relocated, in their same orientation and relative configuration, although somewhat closer together.
The move was accomplished with minimal damage, which has since been repaired. This damage
includes the loss of some bricks along the lower edges of the foundation of the house, and the
disintegration of one of the large barn doors. The applicants have replaced both barn doors with
replicas, and the non-historic fiberglass garage door with a new door.

STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: Landmark Designation of the Henry Jessup/Cal Johnson Farm Buildings, 2902
Rigden Parkway, Fort Collins, Colorado
STAFF CONTACT: Karen McWilliams, Preservation Planner
APPLICANT: Rigden Farm, LLC,by Felix Rojas, Owner's Agent.
BACKGROUND: Staff presents, for your consideration, the Landmark designation of the
Henry Jessup/Cal Johnson Farm Buildings. The farm is comprised of a Craftsman style
residence, a barn, a garage, a chicken coop, and a bunk house. The Landmark Preservation
Commission, at its May 12, 1999 meeting, determined that these buildings and structures had
sufficient architectural significance that they would retain their eligibility for designation as a
Fort Collins Landmark after being moved to their new location at the center of the Rigden Farm
development.
• As per the Commission's endorsed conceptual site plan, the buildings and structures were
relocated in their same orientation and relative configuration, although somewhat closer together.
The move was accomplished successfully, with minimal damage, which has since been repaired.
This damage includes the loss of some bricks along the lower edges of the foundation of the
house, and the disintegration of one of the large barn doors. The applicants have replaced both
barn doors with replicas, as well as replaced the non-historic fiber*glass garage door with a new
door.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approving this request for Landmark designation
of the Henry Jessup/Cal Johnson Farm Buildings, 2902 Rigden Parkway. The buildings and
structures are architecturally significant as examples of a c.1920s Craftsman style agricultural
farmhouse, with associated farm structures.

hanges made to the proposed addition at St. Joseph's School, at 127 North Howes.
New light fixtures for the Silver Grill, 210-218 Walnut, were approved. The LPC
etermined that the farm structures associated with the Cal Jessup/Johnson farm
roperty would be eligible as local landmarks even when relocated to the site and
onfiguration presented in the Rigden Farm community center plan.
CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL: Mr. Hogestad called the meeting to order at 5:37
p.m., at 281 North College Avenue. Commission members Angela Milewski, Bud Frick,

CURRENT REVIEW:
251 Linden, Robertson/Haynes Block - Replace Roof for Landmark Rehabilitation
Grant and State Tax Credit (Mark Thorburn/Contractor)
Mr.Thorburn passed out spec sheets for materials on the roofwork at 251 Linden. The
work would not be visible from the public-right-of-way, but it is a State Tax Credit
project so it needs to be reviewed. They have found the location of the original skylight.

parish office building. Mr. Hattman explained that the details of the windows were
changed on the new plans to four panes to be more compatible with the original
windows. He said that they had changed the roofing and ventilation systems for fire
safety. The vents originally designed for the gables and walls were replaced with split-
block features on the northwest and east ends. The double doors at the main entrance
were changed from a full glass door to a hollow metal for better maintenance and
safety. The one over one design would also hide the panic bar on the door. Mr.
Hattman added that the new door would have more historic character. The entrance
area would also be vaulted to acquire more light and a larger circular window would
accent the west side.
Mr. Hattman explained the elevation of the addition and its relationship to the parish
office, where it would be connected. The elevation of the addition needed to be above
the soffit line of the original building to accommodate drainage on the roof and the
mechanical systems. A simple gutter would be installed with no particular detailing. He
tried to keep the design of the gables on the addition similar to gables on other parts of
the building. On the south elevation, the parapet would reach 28 feet high versus 32
feet high, as submitted earlier.
Ms. Tunner asked about what would happen to the windows and doors of the old parish
once that side of the building became an interior wall. Mr. Hattman explained that there
was one window in the stairwell, which are illegal, and two windows in the bathroom.
One would be taken out and then would become an entrance to the offices. The
windows on the lower level in the bathrooms would be blocked in and a ventilation
system would be installed. Ms. Tunner suggested saving the original windows and said
that they could be used as replacements in the future. Mr. Hattman said that he would
advise his client. The Commission inquired about the new windows, which were snap-
in and made of painted aluminum. Mr. Hogestad asked if there was any citizen input,
and there was none. Ms. Ore asked about the size of the circular window. Mr. Hattman
explained that the furthest ring on the round window was masonry trim to help set the
window apart from the brick.
Mr. Frick moved to approve the changes to the previously final LPC approved
plan for the addition to the historic building as presented and shown on the
submitted documents. Mr. Tanner seconded the motion, which passed
unanimously. (6-0)
DISCUSSION ITEMS:
Cal Johnson/ Ridden Farm Prooertv
Mr. Frank explained the LPC really doesn't have a role in the design review process
with Planning and Zoning, but should rather provide comments to staff. Ms. McWilliams
added that they would be involved in the design review if the property were designated.
Tonight, they reviewed the development plans with the idea of determining a placement
and design elements that the Commission would feel comfortable with and would not
adversely affect the property's determination of eligibility. Mr. Jones, current project

planner explained that Drake Road was being widened, which was a separate project
from the Rigden Farm PDP. However, the relocation of the structures needed to be
approved prior to the approval of the PDP. The Commission also needed to determine
where the structures should be moved and whether the structures would still be eligible
for local landmark designation when moved. The LPC discussed whether the structure
should be designated before they were moved or if they should approve the relocation,
contingent on designation.
Ms. McWilliams reported that the buildings on the farm have been determined to be
individually eligible for designation on the National Register of Historic Places and for
Local Landmark designation. The buildings are significant for their architecture and
association with the Johnson family. The Commission discussed whether they could
approve the conceptual plan on the condition that the structures are designated. Ms.
McWilliams explained that integrity was based on the location, design, setting,
materials, workmanship, feeling, and association of the farm. The historic and
architectural significance of the farm has been established. The integrity of the farm
may be impacted, especially by altering the setting, which would alter the feeling and
association of the farm.
Ms. Carpenter presented the current proposed plans for the farm structures to move
them to a community center. The setting around the building would be open space with
a drainage area that was greater than five acres. The area would be accessible by
pedestrians and by the bike path. The Commission liked the open space around the
farm structures and community center. Ms. Carpenter explained that they kept the
original orientation of the buildings the same. A proposed deck was moved to the back
of the house. The circular drive mimics the original site. She explained that relocating
the bunkhouse and the garage would make it difficult to lay out the other buildings.
They would try to move and reuse the spruce trees from the original site. They
discussed incorporating a handicap ramp or wheelchair lift into the deck and what
design would minimize the impact. Ms. Tunner recommended using the landscape to
create a ramp up to the building. The Commission talked about whether the deck
would impact the eligibility of the farmhouse for designation. They discussed what sort
of designs would make the deck more sympathetic to the historic structure. Mr. Frick
suggested detaching the deck from the house. Mr. Hogestad suggested breaking up
the deck with a higher and lower grade area and the handicap ramp.
They discussed the relocation and new configuration of the farm buildings. Ms.
McWilliams suggested that the bunkhouse could be used for storage of maintenance
and garden equipment for the community garden area. Ms. Carpenter liked the idea.
The house was built in the 1920s and the garage could have been built around the
same time as the original house. Ms. Ore was concerned about the integrity of the site.
She reviewed the seven criteria for establishing integrity. She explained that moving a
farm building to a commercial setting sets a precedent and that they need to be careful
about designating an adaptive re-use. The LPC agreed that the setting of the farm
would still be gone, even if it were not relocated. Efforts need to be made to preserve
the feeling of the farm. They agreed that the deck created a big issue in preserving the

feeling of a farmhouse. Ms. Carpenter explained that four out of the five buildings
would be relocated in the original configuration. The bunkhouse would come close to
the original position. The Commission further discussed how moving the structures
would affect the setting, feeling and association of a farm, and therefore would impact
the historic integrity of the structures. They discussed the impact of moving the
structures on its integrity according to the seven criteria. The location would be lost.
The design would still be there, but would still be impacted by alterations. There was
discussion concerning the setting and physical environment of the structures. The LPC
discussed how pristine the setting needed to be for an historic structure to still be
considered eligible for local landmark designation. The materials and physical
elements would not be affected. The workmanship would be maintained. The feeling
and association was also discussed further. They questioned whether it would still
convey a period of time and a certain historic character. The association described the
relationship between the farm and certain people. It was suggested that less
landscaping would portray the feeling of the farmstead better. Ms. Carpenter explained
that its use as a community center would never feel like a farm.
Ms. Ore was concerned about moving historic buildings to the middle of a sub-division
and then calling it an historic district. Mr. Frank agreed that developers should be
encouraged to re-use historic structures on site instead of moving them. It was agreed
that when the Cal Johnson buildings are moved they would be eligible only for their
architecture. The farm would be completely out of the setting and the context which
• have contributed to its significance. The LPC also wanted to see the bunkhouse and
garage in the plan and suggested that the arbor or gazebo structure be removed. They
agreed that a plan should be made that conveyed the farmstead better. Mr. Tanner
said that here should be stronger connections between the buildings. Mr. Hogestad
said that there should be fewer trees and you should be able to see the barn from the
house. He asked if there was any public input, and there was none.
Ms. Milewski suggested that if the farm buildings would no longer be eligible for their
setting, then create the setting of a community center, while preserving the historic
architecture of the buildings that still have integrity.
Mr. Tanner moved that the LPC declare the Johnson Farm buildings and
structures eligible for Local Landmark designation on the condition that at least
three of the buildings, the house, the barn, and the chicken coop, be moved and
located in the configuration and location in the conceptual plan presented. Mr.
Pouppirt seconded the motion. A friendly amendment was not accepted that was
made by Mr. Frick to look at moving the garage with the other buildings including
the bunkhouse. (4-2) (Yeas: Hogestad, Milewski, Tanner, Pouppirt) (Nays: Frick,
Ore)
The Commission discussed moving the additional buildings. Mr. Tanner felt that they
should be more flexible with an adaptive reuse. Ms. Milewski agreed. Mr. Frank said
. that eligibility should not be based on moving all or nothing. Ms. Tunner agreed that it

would still appear as a farm without the garage. Mr. Frick disagreed and said that the
garage was part of the farm and was consistent with the architecture of the house.
Mr. Griffin summarized from the meeting that the applicants should pursue designation,
change the design of the deck and consider a patio feature, possibly create grade
changes to minimize the impact of a ramp, look at including the bunkhouse and garage,
and maintain sight lines between the house and bam.
OTHER BUSINESS:
Art in Public Places. (Michael Havden)
Mr. Powers introduced Mr. Hayden, artist, who was selected to contribute his artwork to
downtown Fort Collins as part of Art in Public Places. Mr. Hayden gave a presentation
on "Thinking Lightly" and described his portfolio of work and the theme, construction
and placement of the proposed hologram sails for downtown Fort Collins. The sails
would move like large, rigid rudders in the wind. The surface would be an articulated
hologram encapsulated in laminated plastic. The sails would be installed between
twenty and fifty feet high on the thirty-four light poles that line College Avenue between
LaPorte and Magnolia streets. They would have a maximum height of eight feet and
have thirty inches of width at the bottom. They would not compete with the existing
signage, historic architecture, or trees along the street. Mr. Tanner asked if they would
be permanently installed, which they would be. Mr. Hogestad asked about the weight
of the sails, the wind load, and the materials. Mr. Hayden explained that they would be
only twenty-five pounds and that a prototype would be built first. Mr. Hogestad asked
how large the reflections of the holograms would cast. Mr. Hayden did not know, but
explained that it would be very patchy. The LPC discussed whether the structures
would interfere with sight views to the historic buildings and other features of the design
and installation of the sails.

Historical Information:
Henry and Edna Jessup built the farmhouse and barn in 1919, according to real
estate records. The distinctive masonry house and gambrel-roofed barn were
occupied by the Jessup's through 1961. Calvin and Lois Johnson purchased the
farm in that year.
Calvin and his brother Glen Johnson operated the farm under the name of Spring
Creek Fames, LLC. Their local business consisted of alfalfa and feed corn crops
along with a cattle operation.
In 1999, Calvin sold the farm to Rigden Farm, LLC. The farm and the
outbuildings were moved to 2902 Rigden Parkway in the spring of 2000. The
farm house and the surrounding outbuildings were placed in their original -
configuration at the center of the Rigden Farm Development. The expansion of
Timberline Road made the relocation and preservation of the Johnson Farm
necessary.
This farm is historically and architecturally significant because it is an intact farm
complex. Comprised of a house, barn, garage, bunk house, and chicken coop,
the farm was also a distinctive landmark at its location on the comer of
Timberline and Drake. The Johnson Farm is a good architectural representation
of the rare brick bungalow style farmhouse and a gambrel-roofed style barn.
