HARDY, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES MEETING DATE: SUBJECT: ;'------------` Grapevine Lake ooze R'I. SEPTEMBER 20, 2005 DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TECHNICAL REPORT OF HISTORIC LANDMARK SUBDISTRICT HL05-04 i. r r i APPLICANT: Craig and George Hurst PROPERTY LOCATION AND SIZE: The subject property is located at 420 East Wall Street and is platted as Lot 5R, Block 1, G.E. Hurst Addition. The addition contains approximately 17,000 square feet and has approximately 80 feet of frontage along East Wall Street. REQUESTED HISTORIC LANDMARK SUBDISTRICT AND COMMENTS: The applicant is requesting a Historic Landmark Subdistrict designation for the property addressed at 420 East Wall Street and platted as Lot 5R, Block 1, G.E. Hurst Addition, to be known as the 420 East Wall Street Subdistrict. The Historic Preservation Commission at their May 25, 2005 meeting adopted the preservation criteria for the 420 East Wall Street Subdistrict. Preservation criteria for this proposed district addressing such issues as setbacks, driveways, parking, exterior finishes and other architectural embellishments were established by the Historic Preservation Commission to preserve the historic integrity of the property. See the attached preservation criteria. This request was tabled at the August 16, 2005 meeting to give the owners time to meet with Staff to further discuss the implications of the historic overlay on the property and to 0:\ZCU\HL05-04.42 1 September 13, 2005 (9:52AM) clarify the procedures in which the preservation criteria was established. The following is a brief overview of events relative to the establishment of the historic overlay for 420 East Wall Street: • May 25: The Historic Preservation Commission approved, with conditions, the request for Certificate of Appropriateness (CA) for demolition, CA#05-38, of the existing duplex with the condition that the Commission approve Historic Landmark Subdistrict HL 05-04. At the same meeting the Commission approved the proposed Historic Landmark Subdistrict overlay. This HL application was submitted by Craig E. Hurst and George A. Hurst, the property owners, and Norman Barfield, the buyer. However, only Craig and George Hurst signed the application. • July 27: The Historic Preservation Commission approved, with conditions, CA#05- 52, plans for construction of a new house at 420 East Wall Street. The conditions were that the five windows on the front of the house and the kitchen window on the east side of the house, those six windows visible from the street, be wood clad windows. The applicant was not pleased with the Commission's decision. Through their attorney, Jon Michael Franks, the Barfields contacted Burl Gilliam, HPC Chairman, and Bruno Rumbelow, Acting City Manager, stating that staffs comments during the meeting regarding wood windows were not consistent with the Design Guidelines. The applicant asked Bruno Rumbelow to have the Historic Landmark Subdistrict recommendation tabled on the City Council's agenda. August 31: At Bruno's recommendation, at the August 31 meeting under old business, the staff spoke to the Historic Preservation Commissioners clarifying the wording of the Design Guidelines. Staff clarified that while wood windows are not specifically required by the Design Guidelines, the Commissioners are charged to make appropriate decisions based on the adjacent and nearby historic properties. It is the opinion of staff that wood windows would be the appropriate selection based on the adjacent historic homes (Deacon, Forbes, Millican and Hurst). Burl Gilliam asked each Commissioner if he or she felt that the clarification would bring forth any change in their decision of July 27. Only one Commissioner voted that the clarification might change his decision; all others confirmed their original vote. • September 7: Marcia Barfield contacted Bruno Rumbelow on September 7th and said they were ready to move forward with the project but had a couple issues. Bruno asked Sallie Andrews to write a letter to the Barfields expressing staffs pleasure in working with them on the project and reviewing the CA procedures. • September 8: Marcia Barfield called Sallie Andrews on September 8th and stated that they did not want their house to be a Landmarked property, Sallie explained 0:\ZCU\HL05-04.42 2 September 14, 2005 (3:58PM) that if a demolition was to take place, that the Historic Overlay would be required. Sallie also explained that no historic marker would have to be placed on the house – but it would still be considered a Landmarked property. September 9: Marcia Barfield contacted Bruno Rumbelow on September 9th to ask for another meeting with staff regarding their concerns about the project and procedures. The property is currently zoned "R-7.5" Single Family District. A non-contributing structure has been approved for demolition by the Historic Preservation Commission at the May 25, 2005 meeting. The subject property and the properties to the south, east, and west were zoned "R-1" Single Family District prior to the 1984 City Rezoning. The property to the north was zoned "C-2" Community Business District prior to the 1984 City Rezoning.

Elaborate on pertinent materials used and style(r) of architectural detailing, embel- lishments and site details This residential duplex, according to county tax records, was constructed in 1950 by local builder George E. Hurst Jr for his family. It is representative of Grapevine's typically smaller middle class housing found throughout the city from the period shortly after World War Il. It is built in the popular minimal traditional ranch style of the early 1950's. The gable roof pitch is a shallow 4'/z to 12. The design of the exterior is asymetrical with projecting gabled pavillions offset to the left on the front elevation. Decorative wood posts support the porch roof and wood railings adorn the porch. The win- dows are made of wood. Staff review of the duplex is that it is not of architectural significance. A recent property survey reveiled that the house is located approximately 4 feet from the side property line on the north making it non -conforming to current zoning that requires 6 feet from side property lines. The duplex is in poor condition but could be rehabilitated. A buyer, has signed a letter of intent with the owners Craig Hurst and George Hurst to purchase the property with plans to demolish the existing duplex and to replace it with a new period -style house. The buyer has submitted documentation of existing conditions, proposed costs for renovation and has addressed re -use of the structure. Evidence has been submitted indicating that renovating the duplex to serve as a family home is not feasible and would pose a hardship for the buyer. The new structure will be designed to be compatible with the character of Grapevine's historic housing. Staff will bring the proposed design to the commission as a separate Certificate of Appropriateness once the plans are deemed compatible. 420 East Wail Street Rear Elevation 16. Historical Significance Statement of historical and cultural significance. Include. cultural influences, special events and important personages, influencer on neighborhood, on the city, etc. The significance of the property has to do with its association with the Hurst family. Research by staff on the history of the property revealed that the land was once part of a 40 acre tract owned by the Hurst family. In the 1940's Block 1 of the Mrs. G. E. Hurst addition was subdivided into eight lots. Lot 5R became the building site for the duplex. George E. Hurst Jr., a local builder, constructed it for his family to live in. The Hurst family resided there until they moved out of Grapevine in 1958. The duplex has served as rental property since that time. George and Craig Hurst, sons of G. E. Hurst Jr., inherited the property when their mother died in 2000. They lived in the duplex during their early childhood years. 17. Bibliography Tarrant Countv Clerk's Office. Deed Records.

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. 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 preservation 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 features. 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 conform 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 handbook "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 rearranging 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 Page 3 0AHistoric Preservation CommissionlDesign Guidelines for HL's)guidelines 420 E Wall Street.doc 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. 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 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 facade of a property. Utilitarian/privacy fences should not be installed in front of a historic building or beyond the line of the front facade 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 Page 4 O:Wistoric Preservation commissionDesign Guidelines for HL'Mguidelines 420 E Wall Streetdoc 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 concealing the historic character of the property. 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 comer 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. 1-11114QI k,[e33� 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. Reconstruction of building elements should reflect the size, scale, material and level of detail of the original 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 preservation. 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 modem synthetic materials often involves the removal of original decorative elements such as cornice, comer boards, brackets, window and door trim, etc. New synthetic siding shall not be installed. Removal of existing Page 5 0AHistoric Preservation Commission0esign Guidelines for HI_'s�guidelines 420 E Wall Street.doc 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 cannot 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 possible, 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 application 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 windows 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 reflective 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 constructed of wood and configured to match the historic sashes (i.e. one over one sashes) are recommended. If metal storm windows are installed, paint to blend with surrounding elements. Page 6 O:Wistoric Preservation Commission0esign Guidelines for HL's\guidelines 420 E Wall Street.doc 1-4 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 character 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 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 including massing, scale, fenestration and materials. Infill buildings should not be absolute reproductions. Only when a previously demolished historic Grapevine 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 materials, 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 appropriate 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 20"' century buildings where the use of unpainted aluminum or steel was part of the original design and Page 7 0AHistoric Preservation CommissionlDesign Guidelines for HL's\guidelines 420 E Wall Street.doc should be maintained. A new addition should, if at all possible, be located at the rear of the historic building. If this is not possible, the addition may be added to the side if it is recessed at least 18 inches from the historic building facade 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 evidence. If no evidence exists, elements typical of the architectural style may be used. Historic photographs can provide information on the original elements of the building. I 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 Preservation 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.
