WHEREAS, pursuant to City Code Section 14-1, the City Council has established a
public policy encouraging the protection, enhancement and perpetuation of historic landmarks
within the City; and
WHEREAS, by resolution adopted on June 19, 2019, the Landmark Preservation
Commission(the"Commission")determined that the Maneval/Mason/Sauer Property at 1001'
Street in Fort Collins, as more specifically described in the legal description below (the
Property"), is eligible for landmark designation pursuant to City Code Chapter 14, Article II,
for the property's high degree of all seven standards of integrity under City Code Section 14-
22(b)(1-7), and for its outstanding significance to Fort Collins under all four standards of
significance contained in City Code Section 14-22(a)(1-4) as follows:
1) Events: The Property is associated with several aspects of Fort Collins' history
including the development and success of the Great Western Sugar Company, the
physical and social distance separating the Germans from Russia and Hispanics in
Buckingham Place from central Fort Collins illustrated through instances of cultural
misunderstanding and outright discrimination, the early efforts by Buckingham Place
to incorporate as a separate town; and Fort Collins' lengthy period of prohibition.
2) Persons/Groups: The Property is associated with the Germans from Russia(Volga
Germans), who emigrated from Russia in the late 1800s and early 1900s and settled in
Buckingham Place and nearby Andersonville neighborhood, and the Fort Collins's
Hispanic community, who similarly settled predominantly in the Sugar Factory
Neighborhoods.
3) Design/Construction: The Property includes a rare example of a late-
nineteenth/early-twentieth century false-front commercial building and the house is a
good example of true vernacular architecture, Buckingham's representative
architectural form, as seen in its evolving plan, large porch, use of yard space, and `
collection of associated buildings; including a historic shed and privy.
4) Information Potential: The Property,by means of archeological excavation,has a
high probability of yielding significant information related to the lives of German
Russian families in Colorado in the early twentieth century; and
WHEREAS, the Commission further determined that designation of the Property will
advance the policies and purposes set forth in City Code Sections 14-1 and 14-2 in a manner
and extent sufficient to justify designation; and
WHEREAS,the Commission recommends that the City Council designate the Property
as a Fort Collins landmark; and
4-
WHEREAS, the owner of the Property has requested such landmark designation and
desires to protect the Property; and
WHEREAS, such landmark designation will preserve the Property's significance to the
community; and
WHEREAS,the City Council has reviewed the recommendation of the Commission and

prosperity;civic pride, and welfare of the public.
