That the zoning regulations and districts as herein established have been made in accordance with the comprehensive plan for the purpose of promoting health, safety, morals and the general welfare of the community.

The property is located in the historic Ambrose Foster Survey. The site was once a part of the Yancey Farm that adjoined the historic Thomas J. Nash Farm of 1859. Period of Significance The period of significance for district is 1882-1956, the years documented with the county as being the construction dates for property within the historic Township. Allowing a property to authentically tell the story of its own period and time, while reinforcing the historical period of significance with necessary preservation, rehabilitation and restoration, is the goal of the historic landmark designation. The preser- vation of original architectural features, especially windows, doors, porch and siding, is preferred, rather than "modernization" or "updating" of older features, or imposing a false "historical look" on newer fea- tures. The repair of original materials, rather than their replacement can best preserve the historic character of the property. If non-original materials are replaced, then care should be taken to install original (in-kind) materials. Repair and restoration is often more cost effective than replacement, conserves energy and reduces the amount of trash added to landfills. New construction (additions or rehabilitation)to an existing home should reflect the character of the home during its period of significance. Massing, roof shapes, porch configurations and materials that reflect the architectural character of the home during its historic period should be preserved. The design of any new architectural features shall have key elements of the primary historic style already existing in the home and shall be clearly compatible with and complementary to its adjacent features. Any exterior modifications to buildings and properties within the Historic Landmark Subdistrict are required to con- form to the City of Grapevine's preservation ordinances governing these buildings and properties and with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings. The Historic Preservation Commission hand- book `Design Guidelines for Historic Commercial and Residential Properties"(adopted November 2003), explains the preservation ordinances and design criteria that has been adopted by the City of Grapevine. The handbook's guidelines should be used by those planning new construction or additions to historic properties in the 420 East Wall Street Historic Landmark Subdistrict. SITE Retain the historic relationships between buildings, landscaping features and open space. Avoid rear- ranging the site by moving or removing buildings and site features, such as walks, drives and fences, that help define the residence's historic value. SETBACKS Building setbacks should be consistent with adjacent buildings or with the style of the building. Setbacks are an important ingredient in creating an attractive streetscape. Buildings should be set back to a line that is consistent with their neighbors and land use. For example, a residential setback should retain the setback of adjacent and nearby structures, with landscaping along the street right-of-way. Residential buildings with a commercial use in residential areas shall be set back in a manner consistent with setbacks of adjacent or neighboring residential structures. Maintain building orientation pattern, with the front facade facing the street. Maintain spacing patterns between buildings. EXHIBIT "A" TO ORD. 2007-12 Page 15 of 26 DRIVEWAYS, PARKING LOTS AND VACANT SITES Driveways should be located perpendicular to the street; no circular drives shall be allowed (unless proven with historic documentation) in front or corner side yard, so that the character of the landscaped yard can be reinforced. New parking lots for commercial uses should not be located adjacent to sidewalks in the district. Off-street parking lots should not be allowed to interrupt the continuity of landscaped front or corner side yards. This is important to both the preserving of the historic character, and to the strengthening of the residential district. Screen existing parking lots from streets and pedestrian areas in the Historic Landmark Subdistrict. Existing parking lots located adjacent to streets and sidewalks should be screened to the height of car hoods.This will provide a cer- tain level of continuity of the building facade line;it will screen unsightly views;and it will provide a level of security by allowing views to and from the sidewalk. FENCES Historically, fences around houses defined yards and the boundary around property and gardens. Wood picket fences, wood rail fences and barbed wire or decorative wire fences were the common fence types in Grapevine. Traditionally, picket fences surrounded the front of the house while rail and wire fences surrounded the agricultural portions of the property. Maintain historic fences. New fences. Simple wood picket fences, wood and wire and wrought iron fences are appropriate. Avoid chain-link fences, privacy fences and concrete block fences for the street sides of property. Wood privacy fences may be allowed when installed in the rear yard and behind the front façade of a property. Utilitar- ian/privacy fences should not be installed in front of a historic building or beyond the line of the front fa- çade of a historic building. Replacing fences. If replacement is required due to deterioration, remove only those portions of historic fences that are damaged beyond repair and replace in-kind, matching the original in material, design and placement. If replacement is necessary for non-historic fences, or new fences are proposed, locate and design the fence in such a way that will compliment the historic boundary of the property without con- cealing the historic character of the property. SERVICE AND MECHANICAL AREAS Service and mechanical areas and equipment should be screened from the street and other pedestrian areas. All garbage and equipment storage areas should be screened from the street. Mechanical equipment, including satellite dishes, shall not be located in front or corner side yards or should be set back from the edges of roofs, and screened so that they are not visible to pedestrians and do not detract from the historic character of buildings. BUILDING FABRIC PRESERVATION Preserve, stabilize, and restore original building form, ornament and materials. Any missing or severely deteriorated elements may be replaced with replicas of the original. Ensure that roof, window, porch and cornice treatments are preserved or when preservation is not possible, duplicate the original building element. EXHIBIT "A" TO ORD. 2007-12 Page 16 of 26 When rehabilitating, remove non-historic alterations. Often, "modern" renovations conceal the original facade details. If not, the original style may be recreated through the use of historic photographs. Where replication of original elements is not possible, a new design consistent with the original style of the building may be used. Reconstruction of building elements should reflect the size, scale, material and level of detail of the origi- nal design. Preserve older renovations that have achieved historic significance. Older structures or additions may have, at some time, been renovated with such care and skill that the renovation itself is worthy of preser- vation. Usually, such renovations may date from before 1940. EXTERIOR FINISHES Original wood finishes should be maintained and painted or, when necessary, replaced in kind. Modern synthetic siding materials such as vinyl or metal bear little resemblance to historic siding materials. The application of such modern synthetic materials often involves the removal of original decorative elements such as cornice, corner boards, brackets, window and door trim, etc. New synthetic siding shall not be installed. Removal of existing such materials is not required, but strongly encouraged, to restore historic patina, finish and appearance. Original asbestos siding should be maintained and painted, or when necessary, replaced with synthetic siding to match the existing asbestos siding. The removal of asbestos siding over existing wood siding is not required, but strongly encouraged, to restore historic patina, finish and appearance. Original masonry surfaces should be maintained and not be painted, unless severe deterioration of the brick or stone can be shown to require painting. If the color or texture of replacement brick or stone can- not be matched with existing, painting may be an appropriate treatment. Paint colors should be complementary to each other and the overall character of the house. When possi- ble, research the original paint color and finishes of the building's historic period; the right colors respect the historic building. The Historic Preservation Commission shall adopt, as necessary, a paint palette(s) appropriate to the district's character, which may be proposed and approved through the Minor Exterior Alteration applica- tion process. Any colors proposed outside the adopted palette may be reviewed by the Commission in the regular Certificate of Appropriateness process. WINDOWS Original window framing and lites (panes of glass) configurations should be preserved and maintained or replaced in kind. When replacement is necessary, do so within existing historic opening. Replacement of non-original win- dows should consider the use of historically appropriate wood windows. Use same sash size to avoid filling in or enlarging the original opening. Clear or very slightly tinted window glass may be used. No re- flective or heavily tinted glass may be used. Should the owner wish to install security bars, they should be installed on the interior of windows and doors. Storm windows. The use of interior storm windows is encouraged. Storm windows are available which can be installed on the interior of windows. This helps to preserve the exterior historic character of the building. EXHIBIT "A" TO ORD. 2007-12 Page 17 of 26 Should storm windows need to be installed on the exterior of the historic windows, storm windows con- structed of wood and configured to match the historic sashes (i.e. one over one sashes) are recom- mended. If metal storm windows are installed, paint to blend with surrounding elements. EMBELLISHMENTS AWNINGS-CANOPIES New awnings and canopies should not be installed above windows or doors. EXTERIOR LIGHTING Lighting is an important element in residential areas. Fixtures should be consistent with the historic char- acter of the house. Appropriate incandescent light fixtures to the style of the district should be used. Avoid exposed lighting of any kind unless part of a historic fixture. NEW BUILDING CONSTRUCTION INFILL The Secretary of the Interior's guidelines for new buildings in historic districts encourage similarity of form and materials, but not actual replication. New construction proposals and the rehabilitation of non-historic buildings will be reviewed based on these Criteria. Judgement will be based on the compatibility of the design within the context of the property's adjacent and nearby historic buildings. The design of new buildings should have key elements of the building's historic period of significance in- cluding massing, scale, fenestration and materials. Infill buildings should not be absolute reproductions. Only when a previously demolished historic Grape- vine building can be accurately replicated may a reproduction be considered. Infill buildings between historic buildings should be similar in setback, roof form, cornice line and materi- als, to one of the adjacent buildings. Relate height of new building to the heights of adjacent structures. Avoid new buildings that tower over existing ones. Horizontal wood siding (either novelty, tongue and groove, shiplap or equivalent) and brick are appropri- ate exterior building finishes for the historic house. Fake brick or stone or gravel aggregate materials shall never be used. ADDITIONS TO HISTORIC BUILDINGS Additions to historic buildings should replicate the style of the main building if possible; otherwise they should adhere to the general style with simplified details. As a minimum, new additions should reflect the massing, roof shape, bay spacing, cornice lines and building materials of the primary structure. All new wood or metal materials should have a painted finish except on some 20th century buildings where the use of unpainted aluminum or steel was part of the original design and should be maintained. EXHIBIT "A" TO ORD. 2007-12 Page 18 of 26 A new addition should, if at all possible, be located at the rear of the historic building. If this is not possi- ble, the addition may be added to the side if it is recessed at least 18 inches from the historic building fa- cade or a connection is used to separate old from new. New vertical additions should be set back from primary facades so as not to be readily apparent from the facing street. When reproducing elements that were originally part of a historic building they should be replicated when evidence of the actual detail has been documented by photographs, drawings, or remaining physical evi- dence. If no evidence exists, elements typical of the architectural style may be used. Historic photo- graphs can provide information on the original elements of the building. EXISTING NON-CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURES An application for a Certificate of Appropriateness will be required for changes to existing non-contributing structures within the District. Non-contributing structures are those which do not represent the period of significance of the 420 East Wall Street Historic Landmark Subdistrict. The period of significance for the District is 1882-1956. The City of Grapevine Historic Preservation Staff may approve minor alterations to non-contributing structures. Major alterations, demolition or replacement of structures shall undergo the review process of the Grapevine Historic Preser- vation Commission. Replacement buildings shall follow the criteria of the City of Grapevine's `Design Guidelines for Historic Commercial and Residential Properties"and reflect the period significance of 1882-1956.

The property contains a house that was built by Vivian and Myrtle Yancey, descendents of Thomas J. Nash inr the 1930's. The property is located in the historic Ambrose Foster Survey. It is designed in the minimal traditional style that was popular across the United States in the period 1939 through the late 1940's. It features and inset porch, asymmetrical ar- rangement of windows and a asphalt shingle roof. One over one windows are used across the front and the ends of the house. Original wood siding covers the exterior of the house. This property is not currently in a local historic district, nor is it a local historic landmark. However, be- cause the property is located in the Grapevine Township Revitalization Project area, staff is recommend- ing approval of the historic overlay which will then give the commission oversight of all demolition and construction (new, remodel, and additions)through the regular Certificate of Appropriateness process. t.�R PT V9 EXHIBIT "A" TO ORD. 2007-12 Page 22 of 26 Period of Significance The period of significance for the district is 1882-1956, the years documented with the county as being the construction dates for property within the historic Township.

Any exterior modifications to buildings and properties within the Historic Landmark Subdistrict are required to con- form to the City of Grapevine's preservation ordinances governing these buildings and properties and with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings. The Historic Preservation Commission hand- book `Design Guidelines for Historic Commercial and Residential Properties"(adopted November 2003), explains the preservation ordinances and design criteria that has been adopted by the City of Grapevine. The handbook's guidelines should be used by those planning new construction or additions to historic properties in the 420 East Wall Street Historic Landmark Subdistrict. SITE Retain the historic relationships between buildings, landscaping features and open space. Avoid rear- ranging the site by moving or removing buildings and site features, such as walks, drives and fences, that help define the residence's historic value. SETBACKS Building setbacks should be consistent with adjacent buildings or with the style of the building. Setbacks are an important ingredient in creating an attractive streetscape. Buildings should be set back to a line that is consistent with their neighbors and land use. For example, a residential setback should retain the setback of adjacent and nearby structures, with landscaping along the street right-of-way. Residential buildings with a commercial use in residential areas shall be set back in a manner consistent with setbacks of adjacent or neighboring residential structures. Maintain building orientation pattern, with the front facade facing the street. Maintain spacing patterns between buildings. DRIVEWAYS, PARKING LOTS AND VACANT SITES Driveways should be located perpendicular to the street; no circular drives shall be allowed (unless proven with historic documentation) in front or corner side yard, so that the character of the landscaped yard can be reinforced. New parking lots for commercial uses should not be located adjacent to sidewalks in the district. EXHIBIT "A" TO ORD. 2007-12 Page 23 of 26 Off-street parking lots should not be allowed to interrupt the continuity of landscaped front or corner side yards. This is important to both the preserving of the historic character, and to the strengthening of the residential district. Screen existing parking lots from streets and pedestrian areas in the Historic Landmark Subdistrict. Existing parking lots located adjacent to streets and sidewalks should be screened to the height of car hoods. This will provide a certain level of continuity of the building façade line; it will screen unsightly views; and it will provide a level of security by allowing views to and from the sidewalk. FENCES Historically, fences around houses defined yards and the boundary around property and gardens. Wood picket fences, wood rail fences and barbed wire or decorative wire fences were the common fence types in Grapevine. Traditionally, picket fences surrounded the front of the house while rail and wire fences surrounded the agricultural portions of the property. Maintain historic fences. New fences. Simple wood picket fences, wood and wire and wrought iron fences are appropriate. Avoid chain-link fences, privacy fences and concrete block fences for the street sides of property. Wood privacy fences may be allowed when installed in the rear yard and behind the front façade of a property. Utilitar- ian/privacy fences should not be installed in front of a historic building or beyond the line of the front fa- çade of a historic building. Replacing fences. If replacement is required due to deterioration, remove only those portions of historic fences that are damaged beyond repair and replace in-kind, matching the original in material, design and placement. If replacement is necessary for non-historic fences, or new fences are proposed, locate and design the fence in such a way that will compliment the historic boundary of the property without con- cealing the historic character of the property. SERVICE AND MECHANICAL AREAS Service and mechanical areas and equipment should be screened from the street and other pedestrian areas. All garbage and equipment storage areas should be screened from the street. Mechanical equipment, including satellite dishes, shall not be located in front or corner side yards or should be set back from the edges of roofs, and screened so that they are not visible to pedestrians and do not detract from the historic character of buildings. BUILDING FABRIC PRESERVATION Preserve, stabilize, and restore original building form, ornament and materials. Any missing or severely deteriorated elements may be replaced with replicas of the original. Ensure that roof, window, porch and cornice treatments are preserved or when preservation is not possible, duplicate the original building element. When rehabilitating, remove non-historic alterations. Often, "modern"renovations conceal the original facade details. If not, the original style may be recreated through the use of historic photographs. Where replication of original elements is not possible, a new design consistent with the original style of the building may be used. EXHIBIT "A" TO ORD. 2007-12 Page 24 of 26 Reconstruction of building elements should reflect the size, scale, material and level of detail of the origi- nal design. Preserve older renovations that have achieved historic significance. Older structures or additions may have, at some time, been renovated with such care and skill that the renovation itself is worthy of preser- vation. Usually, such renovations may date from before 1940. EXTERIOR FINISHES Original wood finishes should be maintained and painted or, when necessary, replaced in kind. Modern synthetic siding materials such as vinyl or metal bear little resemblance to historic siding materials. The application of such modern synthetic materials often involves the removal of original decorative elements such as cornice, corner boards, brackets, window and door trim, etc. New synthetic siding shall not be installed. Removal of existing such materials is not required, but strongly encouraged, to restore historic patina, finish and appearance. Original asbestos siding should be maintained and painted, or when necessary, replaced with synthetic siding to match the existing asbestos siding. The removal of asbestos siding over existing wood siding is not required, but strongly encouraged, to restore historic patina,finish and appearance. Original masonry surfaces should be maintained and not be painted, unless severe deterioration of the brick or stone can be shown to require painting. If the color or texture of replacement brick or stone can- not be matched with existing, painting may be an appropriate treatment. Paint colors should be complementary to each other and the overall character of the house. When possi- ble, research the original paint color and finishes of the building's historic period; the right colors respect the historic building. The Historic Preservation Commission shall adopt, as necessary, a paint palette(s) appropriate to the district's character, which may be proposed and approved through the Minor Exterior Alteration applica- tion process. Any colors proposed outside the adopted palette may be reviewed by the Commission in the regular Certificate of Appropriateness process. WINDOWS Original window framing and lites (panes of glass) configurations should be preserved and maintained or replaced in kind. When replacement is necessary, do so within existing historic opening. Replacement of non-original win- dows should consider the use of historically appropriate wood windows. Use same sash size to avoid filling in or enlarging the original opening. Clear or very slightly tinted window glass may be used. No re- flective or heavily tinted glass may be used. Should the owner wish to install security bars, they should be installed on the interior of windows and doors. Storm windows. The use of interior storm windows is encouraged. Storm windows are available which can be installed on the interior of windows. This helps to preserve the exterior historic character of the building. Should storm windows need to be installed on the exterior of the historic windows, storm windows con- structed of wood and configured to match the historic sashes (i.e. one over one sashes) are recom- mended. If metal storm windows are installed, paint to blend with surrounding elements. EXHIBIT "A" TO ORD. 2007-12 Page 25 of 26 EMBELLISHMENTS AWNINGS-CANOPIES New awnings and canopies should not be installed above windows or doors. EXTERIOR LIGHTING Lighting is an important element in residential areas. Fixtures should be consistent with the historic char- acter of the house. Appropriate incandescent light fixtures to the style of the district should be used. Avoid exposed lighting of any kind unless part of a historic fixture. NEW BUILDING CONSTRUCTION INFILL The Secretary of the Interior's guidelines for new buildings in historic districts encourage similarity of form and materials, but not actual replication. New construction proposals and the rehabilitation of non-historic buildings will be reviewed based on these Criteria. Judgement will be based on the compatibility of the design within the context of the property's adjacent and nearby historic buildings. The design of new buildings should have key elements of the building's historic period of significance in- cluding massing, scale, fenestration and materials. Infill buildings should not be absolute reproductions. Only when a previously demolished historic Grape- vine building can be accurately replicated may a reproduction be considered. Infill buildings between historic buildings should be similar in setback, roof form, cornice line and materi- als, to one of the adjacent buildings. Relate height of new building to the heights of adjacent structures. Avoid new buildings that tower over existing ones. Horizontal wood siding (either novelty, tongue and groove, shiplap or equivalent) and brick are appropri- ate exterior building finishes for the historic house. Fake brick or stone or gravel aggregate materials shall never be used. ADDITIONS TO HISTORIC BUILDINGS Additions to historic buildings should replicate the style of the main building if possible; otherwise they should adhere to the general style with simplified details. As a minimum, new additions should reflect the massing, roof shape, bay spacing, cornice lines and building materials of the primary structure. All new wood or metal materials should have a painted finish except on some 20th century buildings where the use of unpainted aluminum or steel was part of the original design and should be maintained. A new addition should, if at all possible, be located at the rear of the historic building. If this is not possi- ble, the addition may be added to the side if it is recessed at least 18 inches from the historic building fa- cade or a connection is used to separate old from new. New vertical additions should be set back from primary facades so as not to be readily apparent from the facing street. EXHIBIT "A" TO ORD. 2007-12 Page 26 of 26 When reproducing elements that were originally part of a historic building they should be replicated when evidence of the actual detail has been documented by photographs, drawings, or remaining physical evi- dence. If no evidence exists, elements typical of the architectural style may be used. Historic photo- graphs can provide information on the original elements of the building. EXISTING NON-CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURES An application for a Certificate of Appropriateness will be required for changes to existing non-contributing structures within the District. Non-contributing structures are those which do not represent the period of significance of the 420 East Wall Street Historic Landmark Subdistrict. The period of significance for the District is 1882-1956. The City of Grapevine Historic Preservation Staff may approve minor alterations to non-contributing structures. Major alterations, demolition or replacement of structures shall undergo the review process of the Grapevine Historic Preser- vation Commission. Replacement buildings shall follow the criteria of the City of Grapevine's `Design Guidelines for Historic Commercial and Residential Properties"and reflect the period significance of 1882-1956.
