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 Evans/Reidhead Property, 707 West Mountain Avenue, for its important associations with James (Jim) Reidhead, and as an excellent example of a Dutch Colonial Revival style home in Fort Collins. This is a voluntary designation at the property owner’s request. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION The Evans/Reidhead Property is significant under Fort Collins Landmark Designation Standard B as the home of notable Fort Collins resident James (Jim) Reidhead, who spearheaded several development and preservation efforts in Fort Collins and Larimer County including the Downtown Development Authority, University Connections, and the Rural Land Use Center. The house also qualifies under Standard C for its embodiment of the Dutch Colonial Revival style, including such elements as the steeply-pitched gambrel roof, long, shed dormer, and cornice returns. This house is also the only example in Fort Collins of a Dutch Colonial Revival style home designed by prominent local architect Montezuma Fuller. 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 August 15, 2018, regular hearing, the Landmark Preservation Commission unanimously (7-0, Dunn recused, Bello absent) adopted a resolution recommending adoption of an ordinance by Council for landmark designation.
