as such drainage easements (3-dimensional easements may be warranted) will
need to be dedicated for the area of the planters. If the planters are situated
within the front lot utility easement, it is fine to have the drainage easement
overlap the utility easement.

consider compatibility with individually designated properties in the area of
adjacency, according to 3.4.7(B). These include 220 Remington (Bode House)
and 200 Mathews (Carnegie Library). Several adjacent properties have been
evaluated in the past but do not have current determinations of eligibility for local
landmark status, including: 217 E. Oak, 218 Remington, 221 Mathews (Park
View Apartments), 207 Mathews (Library Park Apartments).
11/09/2015: Area of Adjacency: For the purposes of staff6s review of the
project, and based upon the height, mass, scale, bulk, and the visibility of the
proposed project in light of the definition of 6adjacent6 in LUC Section 5.1.2,
property adjacent to this project has been established as being located one-half
block in each direction from the block upon which this building is proposed.
Historic properties within this area of adjacency include the Carnegie
Library/Museum/Community Creative Center, 200 Mathews Street; the Park
View Apartments, 221 Mathews Street; the McHugh House/St. Peter6s Fly
Shop, 202 Remington Street; historic residential buildings at 218 and 230
Remington Street; and the Bode Property, 220 Remington Street. In its

Landmark Preservation Commission may concur with, reject or modify this area
of adjacency.

The LPC provided initial feedback in a work session on May 13, 2015 and will
now need to provide a written recommendation to the Decision Maker, as
required by LUC 3.4.7(F)(6), which states "In its consideration of the approval of
plans for properties containing or adjacent to sites, structure, objects or districts
that: (a) have been deter -mined to be or potentially be individually eligible for
local landmark designation or for individual listing in the National Register of
Historic Places or the State Register of Historic Properties, or (b) are officially
designated as a local or state landmark or are listed on the National Register of
Historic Places or (c) are located within a officially designated national, state or
local historic district or area, the decision maker shall receive and consider a
written recommendation from the Landmark Preservation Commission unless
the Director has issued a written deter-mination that the plans would not have a
significant impact on the indi-vidual eligibility or potential individual eligibility of
the site, structure, object or district. A determination or recommendation made
under this subsection is not appealable to the City Council under Chapter 2 of
being constructeo at a dissimilar height, setback and width. Wricle building
setbacks cannot be maintained, elements such as walls, columns, hedges or
other screens shall be used to define the edge of the site and maintain
alignment. Taller structures or portions of structures shall be located interior to
the site.
Staff believes that the height, setback and width of the new structure are similar
to the existing historic structures along Mathews Street, i.e., the Park View
Apartments and the Carnegie Library.

Staff appreciates the applicant's extensive use of brick on the building's facade.
However, the brick, combined with the design, appear very reminiscent of a
historic school building. This could be mitigated by the addition of another
material. Staff notes that directly across the alley from this project are several
eligible and designated properties, along Remington Street. These include the
one-story Bode Property, a designated Fort Collins Landmark, which is located
directly across the alley from this project, as well as the individually eligible
property next to the Bode House, at 218 Remington. To achieve compatibility
with these historic properties, the rear of the building should be articulated,
possibly by a stepback, and enhanced with additional brick.

Window patterns of such existing structures (size, height, number) shall be

The window patterns on the south half of the facade match the historic window
