Re: Determination of Eligibility for 631 S. Sherwood Street
Dear Chris:
As you are aware, the Landmark Preservation Commission, at its December 10 meeting,
evaluated the property at 631 S. Sherwood Street for its eligibility for designation as a Fort
Collins Landmark. Following deliberations, the Commission unanimously (6-0) found that this
property is eligible for individual designation as a Landmark. Decisions of the Commission may
be appealed to the City Council. A written notice of appeal must be filed with the City Clerk
within 14 calendar days after the decision of the Commission. Please contact the City Clerk's
Office, 221-6515 for more specific information on the appeals process.
Any development plan affecting this property would need to comply with all applicable
requirements of the Land Use Code, including Section 3.4.7 (attached), which pertains to the
preservation of individually eligible properties. If the plans are denied as a result of the
Development Review Process, City Code allows for an appeal of that decision on certain
grounds. Again, please contact the Clerk's Office for more specific information.
Once development plans have been approved, any demolition of, or alteration to the historic
buildings would be reviewed under the Demolition/Alteration Review Process. This involves a
Preliminary Hearing, followed, if needed, by a Final Hearing. The Preliminary Hearing is the
opportunity for applicants to meet with the Commission, with the goal of identifying and solving
issues that adversely affect the property's historic significance and integrity. An agreeable
solution is often found, allowing for the applicant's needs and still protecting the individual
eligibility of the building or structure. If the applicant and Commission are not successful in
developing an acceptable solution, then the application proceeds to the Final Hearing. The Final
Hearing has additional requirements: a fee of $250, to cover the costs of processing the request;
property documentation, including a Colorado Architectural Inventory Form for each building
and a report regarding the effect that the alteration, removal, or demolition would have on the
character of the site and on adjacent properties; and the approved plan for redevelopment of the
property.
At the Final Hearing, the Landmark Preservation Commission reviews all evidence presented,
and then may either approve the application (with or without conditions), or may postpone con-
