PUBLIC HEARING
4A. Certificate of Appropriateness #CA21-74 for property located at 404 East Wall Street.
Chairman Shope declared the Public Hearing open for #CA21-74 for the property located
at 404 East Wall Street, legally described as Lot 2A, G.E. Hurst Subdivision, City of
Grapevine, to the Grapevine Historic Preservation Ordinance No. 91-73 (Appendix G —
Grapevine Code of Ordinances), as amended, for the following items:
1. Construct a third structure, a 240 square foot detached stone building, 12' x 20' x
1'-7" high at ridge, in the rear yard of the house;
2. Construct a new fourth structure, a 432 square foot pavilion, 18' x 24 x 14'-10"
high, in the rear yard of the house;
3. Construct a new six-foot high wrought iron fence, 280 feet in length, in the rear
yard of the house;
4. Construct a new three-foot high, wood two -rail, post and rail fence 277 feet in
length, in the front yard of the house.
Chairman Shope called on Historic Preservation Officer David Klempin to present the
case.
BACKGROUND:
Certificate of Appropriateness application #CA21-74 was submitted by the
owner/applicant Neal Cooper on December 21, 2021 to construct a new 12' x 20' x 10'-
7" high at ridge, detached stone building in the rear yard of the house and construct a
new 18' x 24' x 14'-10" high at the ridge pavilion in the rear yard of the house; at the
original George Hurst House built in 1908.
A variance was granted to construct the detached 932 sq. ft. garage at the rear of the
property, accessed from Wall Street. The garage combined the 500 square foot maximum
garage with the 200 square foot maximum storage building and 136 square feet of space
of the maximum living area of the house for a total of 936 square feet for a
garage/workshop building. Although the garage exceeded 500 square feet, the total area
of the house, garage and storage was below the maximum allowed for all structures
(3,400 square feet main structure, 500 square feet garage, and 200 square feet storage),
therefore, meeting the intent of the ordinance. The Convention and Visitors Bureau
Director, Historic Preservation Officer and the Development Services Director
recommended approval.
The 2013 Preservation Ordinance set the maximum size for three structures as: house at
3,400 square feet; garage at 500 square feet and storage buildings at 200 square feet.
The applicant was already granted a variance to combine the maximum allowed storage
building square footage, the maximum allowed garage square footage and a portion of
the allowed house square footage to construct a much larger garage/workshop building
structure of 936 square feet.
The house at 2,779 square feet, garage/workshop at 936 square feet, proposed detached
stone building at 240 square feet and proposed pavilion at 432 square feet total 4,387
square feet, which is over the maximum of 4,100 square feet for all structures allowed per
the Preservation Ordinance.
At the rescheduled March 2, 2022 meeting of the Grapevine Historic Preservation
Commission, the Commission voted to table Certificate of Appropriateness #CA21-74 to
the March 23, 2022 Regular meeting of the Commission. This was voted to allow the
applicant Neal Cooper time to develop an alternative pergola with open-air roof to replace
the proposed pavilion with a solid roof.
On Tuesday, March 15, 2022 Historic Preservation Officer David Klempin contacted the
applicant requesting the alternative pergola drawings. Neal Cooper informed Mr. Klempin
he had decided to stick with the original plans and have a vote taken on his original
proposal submission for a new third structure, a stone building and a new fourth structure
a pavilion with a solid roof.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommended the Historic Preservation Commission deny #CA21-74 for plans to
construct a new third structure, a 240 square foot detached stone building, and construct
a new fourth structure, a 432 square foot pavilion, in the rear yard of the house.
Staff recommended the Historic Preservation Commission approve, with conditions, the
following items on Certificate of Appropriateness #CA21-74: construct a new six-foot high
wrought iron fence, 280 feet in length, in the rear yard of the house and construct a new
three-foot high, wood two -rail, post and rail fence 277 feet in length in the front yard of
the house.
Chairman Shope called on the applicant/property owner Neal Cooper who stated the
reasons the commission should approve the proposed plan: the size of the lot, the amount
of lot coverage, the construction of the structures, the location of the structures, and the
definition of "pavilion".
Mr. Cooper answered questions from the Commission.
