PLANNING OBJECTIVES
REINHOLTZ/FOR_N_EY HOUSE
L To have the_Reinhol`tz/Forney House designated as a. National Historic Land-
mark as well as a local landmark. This will insure the continued protection
of the property.
2. To restore the.Reinholtz/Forney House to its or.igina.l condition and grace
using the criteria of the..National Parks Service. This will not only in-
sure correct restoration, but will also make this work more practical by
insuring the availability :of certain,tax incentives The landscape and the
structure would undergo major restoration.
3-. To generate income from this important historic building by using it as.a
four bedroom bed and breakfastfacility as well as a home that can be used
for corporate seminars and other meetings for 12=18 people: To use the
building as.a personal and elegant setting for social gatherings of up.to
35-40 people and to occas.sionaly use the extensive grounds for wedding
receptions primarily during the summer months.
4. To maintain the appearance of a residence. S.ignage should be limited to
1-2 sq. feet. Off-street parking will not be highly visible from the
street. We believe the appeal of this setting would truly be lost if its
basic -character was, altered.
5. To create.a cornerstone: and showplace for not only the neighborhood but
for the city of Ft. Collins, We believe this can be achieved by combining
a very low impact commercial use.with a quality restoration: A second
life for this special home can_ be a very practical reality.
