MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF TH CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROGER NELSON, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 7, 2000
SUBJECT: GRAPEVINE TOWNSHIP REVITALIZATION GRANT PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council approve a Resolution revising the Grapevine Township
Revitalization Grant Program for the preservation, restoration, rehabilitation and
reconstruction of historic homes within the boundaries of the original township of the City
of Grapevine.
FUNDING SOURCE
A total of $50,000 per year will be granted, and will be funded through General Revenue
Funds transferred to Capital Projects.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Staff has found the need to clarify several items within the grant program. The grant
amounts do not change, however, the reimbursement requirements are amended to clarify
a grant recipient's reimbursement responsibilities should they decide to sell their house or
if they decide to rent/lease their house in lieu of living in the house. The application form
has also been amended to clarify an applicant's eligible grant amounts.
Additionally, staff has provided a notice informing potential grant applicants that a grant
award may be subject to income taxes. IRS form W-9 has been added to the grant
application package. The form needs to be completed and submitted prior to a grant
reimbursement.
The length of the Preservation Agreement has also been reduced to one year. This is
designed to allow the grant program to be a more flexible option for homeowners that may
not consider applying for a grant due to it's previous three year commitment.
All property owners that participate in GTRP's grant program agree to designate their
property as Historic Landmark Subdistricts with the City of Grapevine's Historic
Preservation Ordinance, thus preserving their property.

Rev. October 2000
Exhibit B
REHABILITATION IS DEFINED as the act or process of making possible a
compatible use for a property through repair, alterations and additions while
preserving those portions or features which convey its historical, cultural or
architectural values.
1. A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that
requires minimal change to its distinctive materials, features, spaces and
spatial relationships.
2. The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The
removal of distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces and spatial
relationships that characterize a property will be avoided.
3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place and
use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as
adding conjectural features or elements from other historic properties, will not
be undertaken.
4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own
right will be retained and preserved.
5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes and construction techniques or
examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved.
6. Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the
severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new
feature will match the old in design, color, texture and where possible,
materials. Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by
documentary and physical evidence.
7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the
gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials
will not be used.
8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such
resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken.
9. New additions, exterior alterations or related new construction will not
destroy historic materials, features and spatial relationships that characterize
the property. The new work will be differentiated from the old and will be
compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion and
massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment.
10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in
a such manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity
of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.

2. 1 am not subject to backup withholding because: (a) I am exempt from backup withholding, or (b) I have not been notified by the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) that I am subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends, or (c) the IRS has
notified me that I am no longer subject to backup withholding.
Certification Instructions.—You must cross out item 2 above if you have been notified by the IRS that you are currently subject to backup
withholding because you have failed to report all interest and dividends on your tax return. For real estate transactions, item 2 does not apply.
For mortgage interest paid, acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, contributions to an individual retirement
arrangement (IRA), and generally, payments other than interest and dividends, you are not required to sign the Certification, but you must
provide your correct TIN. (See the instructions on page 2.)

Purpose
Purpose of Form.—A person who is
required to file an information return with
the IRS must get your correct taxpayer
identification number (TIN) to report, for
example, income paid to you, real estate
transactions, mortgage interest you paid,
acquisition or abandonment of secured
property, cancellation of debt, or
contributions you made to an IRA.
Use Form W-9 to give your correct TIN
to the person requesting it (the requester)
and, when applicable, to:
1. Certify the TIN you are giving is
correct (or you are waiting for a number to
be issued),
2. Certify you are not subject to backup
withholding, or
3. Claim exemption from backup
withholding if you are an exempt payee.
Note: If a requester gives you a form other
than a W-9 to request your TNN, you must
use the requester's form if it is substantially
similar to this Form W-9.
What Is Backup Withholding?—Persons
making certain payments to you must
withhold and pay to the IRS 31% of such
payments under certain conditions. This is
called "backup withholding." Payments
That may be subject to backup withholding
include interest, dividends, broker and
barter exchange transactions, rents,
royalties, nonemployee pay, and certain
payments from fishing boat operators. Real
estate transactions are not subject to
backup withholding.
If you give the requester your correct
TIN, make the proper certifications, and
report all your taxable interest and
dividends on your tax return, payments
you receive will not be subject to backup
withholding. Payments you receive will be
subject to backup withholding if:
1. You do not furnish your TIN to the
requester, or
2. The IRS tells the requester that you
furnished an incorrect TIN, or
3. The IRS tells you that you are subject
to backup withholding because you did not
report all your interest and dividends on
your tax return (for reportable interest and
dividends only), or
4. You do not certify to the requester
that you are not subject to backup
withholding under 3 above (for reportable
interest and dividend accounts opened
after 1983 only), or
5. You do not certify your TIN when
required, See the Part III instructions on
page 2 for details.
Certain payees and payments are
exempt from backup withholding. See the
Part II instructions and the separate
Instructions for the Requester of Form
W-9.
Penalties
Failure To Furnish TIN -1f you fail to
furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you
are subject to a penalty of $50 for each
such failure unless your failure is due to
reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.
Civil Penalty for False Information With
Respect to Withholding.—If you make a
false statement with no reasonable basis
that results in no backup withholding, you
are subject to a $500 penalty.
Criminal Penalty for Falsifying
Information.— Willfully falsifying
certifications or affirmations may subject
you to criminal penalties including fines
and/or imprisonment.
Misuse of TINs.—If the requester
discloses or uses TINs in violation of
Federal law, the requester may be subject
to civil and criminal penalties.

Preface
An architectural and historical description of the significance of your residence is described

Page 3 of 8
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 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 should be set
back in a manner consistent with setbacks of neighboring or similar 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 areas for commercial uses should not be located adjacent to sidewalks
in the district.
Off-street parking should not be allowed to interrupt the continuity of landscaped
front or corner side yards. This is important to both the preservation of historic
character, and to the strengthening of the residential district.
Screen existing parking from streets and pedestrian areas in the Historic District.
Existing parking located adjacent to streets and sidewalks may be screened to the
height of car hoods. This will provide a certain level of continuity of the building
,) fagade line; it will screen unsightly views; and it will provide a level of security by
allowing views to and from the sidewalk.

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.

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.
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.

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 cannot be matched with existing, painting may
be an appropriate treatment.
Paint colors should be complimentary 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.
"y 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.
ViN Il 0 _�
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. Use same
sash size to avoid filling in or enlarging the original opening. If drop ceiling is
installed in the interior, be sure that it is slanted up at the window so that it will not
cut into the window opening.
Clear or very slightly tinted window glass may be used. No reflective or heavily
tinted glass shall be used.
Should the owner wish to install security bars, they should be installed on the
interior of windows and doors.

EXHIBIT G
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.
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 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.

INFILL
The Secretary of the Interiors 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 (circa , including massing, scale, fenestration and materials.
Infill buildings should not be absolute reproductions, and appear as clearly
0 EXHIBIT G
contemporary. 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 201h
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 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 replacing 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.
