9. Second Reading of Ordinance No, 044, 2004, Designating the Aaron Kitchel House, 601
West Mountain Avenue. as a Fort Collins Landmark Pursuant to Chapter 14 of the City
Code.
The owner of the property, Sue Walker, initiated the request for Fort Collins Landmark
designation for the Aaron Kitchel House, 601 West Mountain Avenue. The home is
significant for it architectural importance, being a good example of vernacular masonry
Queen Anne architecture in Fort Collins; and is significant for its historical importance due
to its association with Aaron Kitchel, Civil War veteran, pioneer farmer of Larimer county
and former County Commissioner. The garage does not contribute to the historic and
architectural character of the Property and is not being designated. This Ordinance was
unanimously adopted on First Reading March 2, 2004.
10. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 046, 2004, Amending Section 25-123(c) of the City Code
Relating to Compensation of Vendors for Collecting and Remitting Sales Tax.
Resolution 2004-006 was adopted by City Council in January directing the City Manager to
proceed with public outreach regarding a change to the vendors' fee. The City Manager was
further directed to present a recommendation to Council no later than the first meeting in
March.
The vendors' fee was last changed in 1989 in response to the need for additional funding for
the Choices 95 Capital Improvement Program. Prior to that time, vendors were allowed to
retain 3.0% of all sales tax they collected. The 1989 change limited vendors to 3.0% of the
first $3,000 in tax they collected plus 1.0% of all taxes thereafter. There was no dollar cap
on the total amount vendors could retain. This Ordinance, which was unanimously adopted
on First Reading on March 2, 2004, limits the vendors' fee to 3.0% of the first $3,000 in tax
collected.
11. First Reading of Ordinance No. 047 2004 Approl2riating Unanticipated Revenue in the
Capital Projects Fund Building Community Choices - Community Horticulture Center
Capital Project to be Used for Design and Construction of a Children's Garden.
In 1997, the voters approved Ordinance No. 29, 1997, which provided funding for the
establishment of the Community Horticulture Center (now referred to as the Gardens on
Spring Creek), as part of the Building Community Choices capital improvement program.
The first phase of construction has now been completed, and the Gardens on Spring Creek
is open to the public (with a Grand Opening scheduled for Saturday, May 8).

CONSENT CALENDAR
Second Reading of Ordinance No. 041,2004, Amending Section 24-95 of the City Code to
Clarify The Language That Assigns Responsibility for Constructing -Streets to Adjacent
ProWrty Owners at the Time of Development or RedevelooRment.
This Ordinance, which was unanimously adopted on First Reading on March 2, 2004,
amends Section 24-95(a) of the City Code. The change was made to remove a confusing
phrase referencing "undeveloped property" at the beginning of the first sentence which does
not match the reference to redevelopment at the end of the same sentence. The clarification
makes it clearer that property owners have the responsibility to improve streets adjoining
their property at the time they develop or redevelop their property. This, in turn, clarifies that
the City may recover costs under Section 24-95(c) that are incurred by the City with City -
constructed capital project improvements from the adjacent property owners at the time of
their development or redevelopment.
