EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This item is a quasi-judicial matter and if considered on the discussion agenda, it will be considered in accordance with the procedures described in Section 1(e) of the Council’s Rules of Meeting Procedures adopted in Resolution 2018-034. The purpose of this item is to consider the request for landmark designation of the Farrington Property, 322 Edwards Street, for its Classic Cottage architecture. This is a voluntary designation at the property owner’s request. The Landmark Preservation Commission unanimously recommends approving this landmark designation. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION The Farrington Property at 322 Edwards Street is significant under Standard C for its architectural significance to Fort Collins. Like many of the houses constructed during this time (1890-1910) the house at 322 Edwards Street is small with a single-story and has minimal decorative embellishment but still evokes a Victorian feel. The house, in suite, is a good example of a Classic Cottage home that many middle-class families embraced around the turn of the 20th century because of its more simplistic, less expensive design. Indicative of a Classic Cottage style, the home has a single story, moderate-pitched gabled roof with a triangle-shaped eyebrow dormer, open front porch, and boxed eaves. The residence and three associated outbuildings qualify for landmark designation under Standard C as an excellent example of a Classic Cottage residence with a preponderance of all seven aspects of integrity. CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS Recognition of this property as a Fort Collins Landmark enables its owners to qualify for local financial incentive programs available only to Landmark designated properties. BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION At its December 19, 2018, regular hearing, the Landmark Preservation Commission unanimously (6-0) adopted a resolution recommending adoption of an ordinance by Council for landmark designation.
