Staff recommends City Council approve a Resolution revising the Grapevine Township
Revitalization Project, Inc. (GTRP) Grant Program for the preservation, restoration,

Staff proposes amending the grant program to allow historically designated homes
(Historic Landmark Subdistricts) located outside the boundaries of GTRP's program area
to be eligible for the grant program. Homes located within the existing boundaries of the
program will remain eligible for the grant program.
All property owners that participate in GTRP's grant program agree to designate their
property as Historic Landmark Subdistricts in accordance with the City of Grapevine's
Historic Preservation Ordinance, thus preserving their historic property. The proposed
changes to the program can be found on page 1 of Exhibit A, which is attached.

retained and preserved.
5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes and construction techniques or examples of
craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved.

Under penalties of perjury, I certify that:
1. The number shown on this form is my correct taxpayer identification number (or I am waiting for a number to be issued to me), and
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, and
3. 1 am a U.S. person (including a U.S. resident alien).
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 only if you are a U.S. person
(including a resident alien), 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 a U.S. exempt payee.
If you are a foreign person, use the
appropriate Form W-8. See Pub. 515,
Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and
Foreign Corporations.
Note: If a requester gives you a form other than
Form W-9 to request your TIN, 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. You do not certify your TIN when required
(see the Part III instructions on page 2 for
details), or
3. The IRS tells the requester that you
furnished an incorrect TIN, or
4. 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
Cat. No. 10231X
S. You do not certify to the requester that you
are not subject to backup withholding under 4
above (for reportable interest and dividend
accounts opened after 1983 only).
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. If 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.

generally enter the name shown on your social
security card. However, if you have changed
your last name, for instance, due to marriage
without informing the Social Security
Administration of the name change, enter your
first name, the fast name shown on your social
security card, and your new last name.
If the account is in joint names, list first and
then circle the name of the person or entity
whose number you enter in Part I of the form.
Sole proprietor. Enter your individual name
as shown on your social security card on the
"Name" line. You may enter your business,
trade, or "doing business as (DBA)" name on the
"Business name" line.
Limited liability company (LLC). If you are a
single -member LLC (including a foreign LLC with
a domestic owner) that is disregarded as an
entity separate from its owner under Treasury
regulations section 301.7701-3, enter the
owner's name on the "Name" line. Enter the
LLC's name on the "Business name" line.
Caution: A disregarded domestic entity that has
a foreign owner must use the appropriate
Form W-8.
Other entities. Enter your business name as
shown on required Federal tax documents on
the "Name" line. This name should match the
name shown on the charter or other legal

business, trade, or DBA name on the "Business
name" line.
Part I—Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)
Enter your TIN in the appropriate box.
If you are a resident alien and you do not
have and are not eligible to get an SSN, your
TIN is your IRS individual taxpayer identification
number (ITIN). Enter it in the social security
number box, If you do not have an ITIN, see
How to get a TIN below.
If you are a sole proprietor and you have an
EIN, you may enter either your SSN or EIN.
However, the IRS prefers that you use your SSN.
If you are an LLC that is disregarded as an
entity separate from its owner (see Limited
liability company (LLC) above), and are owned
by an individual, enter your SSN (or "pre -LLC"
EIN, if desired). If the owner of a disregarded
LLC is a corporation, partnership, etc., enter the
owner's EIN.
Note: See the chart on this page for further
clarification of name and TIN combinations.
How to get a TIN. If you do not have a TIN,
apply for one immediately. To apply for an SSN,
get Form SS -5, Application for a Social Security
Card, from your local Social Security
Administration office. Get Form W-7, Application
for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification
Number, to apply for an ITIN or Form SS -4,
Application for Employer Identification Number,
to apply for an EIN. You can get Forms W-7 and
SS -4 from the IRS by calling 1 -800 -TAX -FORM
(1-800-829-3676) or from the IRS's Internet Web
Site at www.irs.gov.
If you do not have a TIN, write "Applied For'
in the space for the TIN, sign and date the form,
and give it to the requester. For interest and
dividend payments, and certain payments made
with respect to readily tradable instruments,
generally you will have 60 days to get a TIN and
give it to the requester before you are subject to
backup withholding on payments. The 60 -day
rule does not apply to other types of payments.
You will be subject to backup withholding on all
such payments until you provide your TIN to the
requester.
Note: Writing "Applied For" means that you have
already applied for a TIN or that you intend to
apply for one soon.
Part II—For U.S. Payees Exempt From Backup
Withholding
Individuals (including sole proprietors) are not
exempt from backup withholding. Corporations
are exempt from backup withholding for certain
payments, such as interest and dividends. For
more information on exempt payees, see the
separate Instructions for the Requester of
Form W-9.
If you are exempt from backup withholding,
you should still complete this form to avoid
possible erroneous backup withholding. Enter
your correct TIN in Part 1, write "Exempt" in
Part II, and sign and date the form.
If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign
entity not subject to backup withholding, give
the requester the appropriate completed Form
W-8.
Part III—Certification
To establish to the withholding agent that you
are a U.S. person, or resident alien, sign Form
W-9. You may be requested to sign by the
withholding agent even if items 1, 3, and S
below indicate otherwise.
For a joint account, only the person whose
TIN is shown in Part 1 should sign (when
required).
1. Interest, dividend, and barter exchange
accounts opened before 1984 and broker
accounts considered active during 1983. You
must give your correct TIN, but you do not have
to sign the certification.
2. Interest, dividend, broker, and barter
exchange accounts opened after 1983 and
broker accounts considered inactive during
1983. You must sign the certification or backup
withholding will apply. If you are subject to
backup withholding and you are merely providing
your correct TIN to the requester, you must
cross out item 2 in the certification before
signing the form.
3. Real estate transactions. You must sign
the certification. You may cross out item 2 of the
certification.
4. Other payments, You must give your
correct TIN, but you do not have to sign the

�^INTRODUCTIO
What are Design Guidelines?
Design guidelines are written documents that help ascertain the cultural and architectural importance of
Historic District orLandmark within the City nfGrapevine, They provide for acommon ground for making
educated decisions for proposed alterations to property (including new construction) and ensuring those
modifications will be compatible with the architectural character of the historic district or landmark for
which they apply.
Design guidelines are also intended to be recommendations and not rigid or direct interpretation of work
to be executed on a property. Although appropriate, they do not require that buildings be restored to
historical period or style. They are intended to beflexible and used to promote communication about
how appropriate design alterations can blend into and enhance the architectural character of the historic
district or landmark.
Why do we need Design Guidelines?
Design guidelines are needed to preserve the architectural and cultural integrity of a historic district or
landmark. They are intended for the property owner(s), their architects or designers and the Grapevine
Historic Preservation Commission to use osa base reference for proposed exterior modifications to
property within the historic district orlandmark. They will serve aSabasis for decisions about
appropriate treatments and compatible new construction. The Historic Preservation Commission, the
Planning and Zoning Commission and the Grapevine City Council have approved these design guidelines
for this historic district or landmark.
The Historic Preservation Commission, through the Certificate of Appropriateness review process, will use
these guidelines for making informed, consistent decisions about design alterations. The Commission,
however, realizes that there is more than one solution to historic preservation design objective, and as
such, will use these guidelines for a base reference only.
Basic Preservation Theory and Integrity
What makes a property historically significant? Ona national level, and locally, properties must generally
be atleast 5Oyears old before they may be considered or evaluated for historic significance. However,
exceptions do exist for properties less than 50 years old when the property is clearly significant.
Historic properties must meet certain criteria that demonstrate their significance. This criteria is different
from the national level to a local level. Gemzns||v speaking, a property must meet at least one of the
"
Associated with events that have made asignificant contribution tothe broad pattern ofour history;
or
" Associated with the lives 0fpersons significant in our past or
° They embody the distinctive characteristics ofatype, period or method ofconstruction, orthat
represent the work ofa master, or that possess high artistic value, or that represent significant and
distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or
= They have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important inprehistory orhistory.
Inaddition tomeeting one ofthe criteria above, aproperty must also possess integrity oflocation,
Exhibit G
design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and/or association. Integrity is the ability of a property
to convey its significance and to retain historic integrity, a property should have to possess at least half of
the seven aspects of integrity. A district or landmark's integrity will come from the district or landmark
having a substantial number of significant structures (that retain integrity) within its boundaries and for
when they were significant - their Period of Significance.
Period of Significance
Each historic district or landmark is significant during a period in its history, which it represents or is
associated with, thus a Period of Significance. The period usually begins when the district or landmark
was first constructed to when it reached it peak activity in construction.
Buildings and structures that date within the Period of Significance are considered "historic" and
contribute towards the character of the district or landmark. Buildings and structures built outside of the
Period of Significance are generally considered "non -historic" and not contributing to the character of the
district or landmark, however, there may be buildings which will have gained significance and considered
historic.
The Period of Significance for the John A. Berry House is 1912.
Purpose of Design Guidelines
Grapevine's cultural heritage is uniquely preserved in its Main Street, industrial and adjacent residential
neighborhoods. The historic core of Grapevine has served as the center of the community for more than
100 years and retains many buildings that reflect its early character. The city's history remains alive in its
preserved buildings and neighborhoods.
Historic preservation and economic development are partners in the success of downtowns throughout
the country. Grapevine is no different. The historic districts and landmarks within Grapevine have
strengthened the economic stability of our local Main Street commercial area and stabilized and improved
the values of property in the historic residential neighborhood. The City of Grapevine also recognizes that
the character of the historic districts and landmarks is of community interest. Design guidelines are
written to ensure that preservation efforts and property investments are protected by providing
appropriate guidance on the preservation/rehabilitation of historic landmarks and direction for their future
development.
The City of Grapevine, in 1991, adopted the Historic Preservation Ordinance, Appendix G, Code of
Ordinances, thus creating the Historic Preservation Commission and a historic overlay zoning ability in an
effort to protect the city's rich, cultural and architectural heritage. The Commission, through the
ordinance, was given the power to recommend specific Historic Districts and Landmarks within the city.
Any exterior alterations to buildings and properties within Grapevine's Historic Districts or to a designated
Historic Landmark require a Certificate of Appropriateness (CA) prior to commencing work. Many
modifications are simple and routine, and can be approved by city Staff within a few days after the CA
application is made. More significant projects may require the review and approval by the Historic
Preservation Commission, which meets monthly.
U. SITE
This section of the design guidelines concentrates on the development of site planning and preservation of
site features and their relationship to the property. The goal of this section is to encourage continued
preservation of the property's site, while yet still allowing development and continued adaptive use.
In general, retain the historic relationships between buildings, landscaping features and open space. Avoid
Page 5
Exhibit G
rearranging the site by moving mremoving buildings and site features, such as walks, drives and fences, that �
help define the property's historic value.
SETBACKS
The distance a building sets back from the front property line relays the visual continuity or presence of
buildings and structures within a district and landmark, especially in a commercial or residential area.
Buildings within a residential area were sited to provide front and side open spaces between neighbors, thus
resulting infront, side and rear yards
The relationships between buildings, landscaping features and open space should be pneserved. Avoid
rearranging the site bvmoving orrenoovingbuildings and site features, such oswalks, dr�eyand fences, that
help define the historic
district and landmark. Also maintain building orientation pattern, with the front facade
facing the street.
Building setbacks should be consistent with adjacent buildings or with the style of the building. Setbacks
are an important ingredient in creating an attractive st,eetscape. Buildings should be set back to a line
that isconsistent with their neighbors and land use. For example, aresidential setback should retain the
setback of adjacent and nearby structures, with landscaping along the street right-of-way.
DRIVEWAYS AND PARKING LOTS
Driveways should be located perpendicular to the street; circular drives should not be allowed (unless proven
with historic documentation) in front or corner side yard, so that the character of the landscaped yard can
be reinforced.
The visual impression of parking lot has the potential to impact historic landmark. Parking lots should be �
located such that they are considered secondary to other features and in those spaces that were customarily
open spaces between and around buildings. New parking lots should not be allowed to interrupt the
continuity of landscaped front orcorner side yards. This is important to both the preservation of historic
character, and to the strengthening of the residential district and landmark,
Their visual impact ofe parking lot may be minimized through various methods, which may include a
softening of the ground surface (in lieu of asphalt or concrete) and breaking up of parking into different areas
between and around buildings. Also, screen existing or new parking lots from streets and pedestrian areas.
Existing or new parking lots located adjacent to streets and sidewalks should be screened to the height of
car hoods.
FENCES AND WALLS
Historically, fencesand wa|�around historic houses de�nedyards 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 inGrapevine's early residential neighborhoods. Traditionally, picket fences surrounded the front
of the house while rail and wire fences surrounded the agricultural portions of the property. Existing historic
fences should bemaintained.
New fences and walls. Simple wood picket fences, wood and wire, wrought iron fences and stone walls are
appropriate for this historic property. Avoid chain-link fences, privacy fences and concrete block fences along
the front ofproperty. Wood privacy fences may be allowed when installed in the rear yard and behind the
hnntfagade of residence. Utilitarian/privacy fences should not be installed in front of historic building
orbeyond the line ofthe front fagadeofahistoric building.
Replacing fences and walls. If replacement is required due to deterioration, remove only those portions of
historic fences and walls that are damaged beyond repair and replace in-kind, matching the original in
Exhibit G
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 concealing the historic character of the property.
SERVICE AND MECHANICAL AREAS
Service and mechanical areas and equipment should be screened from the viewshed of the street and
other pedestrian areas. This includes garbage and equipment storage areas.
Mechanical equipment, including satellite dishes, should 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.
III. BUILDING FABRIC
This section of the design guidelines concentrates on recommendations for the preservation of original
building materials within this property. The goal of this section is to encourage continued preservation of the
building materials, while yet still allowing necessary repair/replacement where required.
The use of inappropriate treatments in repair and restoration work can seriously damage historic buildings.
These guidelines present general directions for appropriate action.
PRESERVATION
The Preservation, Restoration, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction philosophy adopted by these design
guidelines are the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatmentof Historic Properties The following
treatment philosophy should be considered for improvements or alterations to this property.
1. If a new use is required for a historic building, consider uses that are compatible with the original use
of the building and that would require minimal change to the defining characteristics of the property.
Converting a residence into a Bed & Breakfast Inn would be considered a compatible new use.
2. Each historic building within this district and landmark is a product of its time (when constructed). The
original design of each building should be respected for what it is and not altered to something it was
not or giving it an "older" period look. Preserve, stabilize, and restore the original building form,
ornament and materials. However, when rehabilitating, removal of non -historic or unsympathetic
additions is encouraged.
3. Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic significance on their own
right shall be preserved. Older structures or additions may have, at some time, been renovated with
such care and skill that the renovation itself is worthy of preservation.
Reconstruction of building elements should reflect the size, scale, material and level of detail of the
original design. Where replication of original elements is not possible, a new design consistent with
the original style of the building may be used.
4. Preserve and maintain original character defining features and architectural styles of historic buildings
and structures. Key architectural features of a building or structure are those that help convey the
integrity and significance of the property to the Period of Significance. They may included, but are not
limited to, doors, windows, siding, roofs, structural systems and decorative ornamentation.
5. Original character defining features and elements should be repaired where needed and replaced only
when repair of original materials is not possible because they are deteriorated beyond repair. Repair
elements and features using the gentlest means possible.
Exhibit G
Any missing or severely deteriorated elements may be replaced with replicas of the original. The new
feature or element should match the old in design, color, texture and other visual qualities and where
possible, materials. Ensure that roof, window, porch and cornice treatments are preserved, or when
preservation is not possible duplicate the original building element.
EXTERIOR MATERIALS
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 and original wood siding
is not required, but strongly encouraged, to restore historic patina, finish and appearance.
MASONRY
Brick and stone masonry as a residential building material was not used very much in Grapevine. The primary
use of this masonry was as a veneer for a residence, garage, and/or several outbuildings
Original masonry should be preserved and maintained. Preserve the original mortar joints and masonry sizes,
tooling and bonding patterns. Repainting of mortar joints where there is evidence of deterioration is
encouraged. New repointing should match the existing in materials, color, size, and hardness.
Clean historic masonry walls carefully. Do not use abrasive cleaning methods for historic masonry, such as
sand blasting and high-pressure wash as they can damage the surface of stone. Additionally, some chemical -
cleaners, which are designed to remove paint from different masonry surfaces, may be used if caution is
exercised and the manufacturer's recommendations for particular stone is followed.
Original masonry surfaces should be maintained and not be painted, unless severe deterioration of the stone
can be shown to require replacement. The color or texture of replacement brick or stone should be matched
with the existing masonry.
METAL SIDING AND ROOFS
Metal as an exterior building material was traditionally used on industrial or agricultural buildings within
Grapevine. The metal of choice was either natural (unfinished) steel or steel with a galvanized protective
coating.
Preserve and maintain all original architectural metal that contributes to the character of the buildings and
structures on this property. Protect metal from corrosion by maintaining protective coatings and provide
proper drainage of water to discourage accumulation, which may lead to rust and corrosion.
Repair historic metal by patching or splicing where necessary. This will allow the greater overall character
of buildings and structures to remain. Also use the gentlest means possible when cleaning historic metal or
when removing rust (in preparation of a new coating).
WINDOWS AND DOORS
Windows and doors are arguably the most important character defining feature of buildings. This
property contains different windows and doors. Historic windows and doors contribute to the
Exhibit G
architectural character of buildings and should be preserved and maintained.
L�k
Windows varied from original wood, double hung windows to non -historic aluminum replacement
windows. Doors consist of wood stile and rail doors with vision panels (glass) to overhead wood doors.
Original window and door (including framing and lights or panes of glass) configurations, orientation, and
proportions should be preserved and maintained. Any new windows and doors should be designed,
located and sized to compliment existing historic windows and doors.
If requiring replacement (or new where previous originals removed), replace in kind. When replacement
is necessary, do so within the existing historic opening size and matching the original design. Use same
size to avoid filling in or enlarging the original opening. Where existing windows and doors were
constructed of wood, replacements should also be wood, likewise with steel windows and doors. Clear or
very slightly tinted 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.
Storm windows. The use of interior storm windows is encouraged where needed. 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 wood 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.
PAINT
Traditionally, paint was used to protect underlying building materials (typically wood) from deterioration.
Paint was also used for decorative purposes on wood and metal and brick masonry in the Main Street Historic
District.
Plan (re)painting carefully. Good preparation is always the key to successful painting of historic buildings.
The substrate should always be cleaned from dirt and residue and washed down using the simplest means
possible, no power washing on soft substrates. The substrate, especially if wood, should be given plenty of
time to dry out.
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.
The Historic Preservation Commission has adopted four historic paint palettes appropriate to city Historic
Districts or Landmark's character, which may be proposed and approved through the Minor Exterior
Alteration application process. The Historic Preservation Commission, through the regular Certificate of
Appropriateness process, should review any proposed colors that not within the adopted palettes.
IV. EMBELLISHMENTS
AWNINGS -CANOPIES
New awnings and canopies should not be installed above windows or doors.

Exhibit G
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
�
Lighting is an important element in residential areas. Appropriate light fixtures consistent with the historic ` -^
character the properties are recommended. Avoid exposed lighting ofany kind unless itispart ofa
historic fixture.
Signs are critical to the success of commercial pnoperty. They provide pertinent retail or merchant
information for a potential shopper or critical tourist information for visitors to Grapevine.
For businesses located in residential buildings, which have a generous setback,appropriately scaled
monument signs are encouraged. In general, building signs should be small /in relation to the size of the
building) and limited toone per business.
Off premise signs, flashing signs and plastic backlit signs should not beallowed. Roof top signs should be
avoided as they can detract from the architectural character of a historic roof or profile of a building.
Signs may beconstructed of painted wood mmetal. Lighting of signs should be done externally with
incandescent bulbs or ground lighting using appropriate fixtures to the style of the building, Avoid garish
colors or patterns, avoid a clutter of signs and limit the number and size of signs. Neon signs are not
recommended.
Sandwich board signs are typical of historic commercial and retail areas and may be appropriate for this
property. They should bemaintained and removed after business hours. Chalkboards are encouraged
for daily changing messages. Sandwich board signs, which are directed towards pedestrians should be
limited to24inches wide by36inches high and nomore than one per tenant.
Sign lettering should be consistent with the architectural style of the building. Generally, serif styles may
be used for commercial and retail uses within |abs 19m and early 201» century buildings. San serif styles
may be used for commercial and retail uses within buildings dating from the 1930-50s.
V. NEW BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
This section of the design guidelines concentrates on recommendations for the construction of new buildings
within this property. New buildings are considered additions to historic buildings or new, stand alone
construction. The goal of this section is to encourage appropriate and compatible new construction for this
property, while still retaining the historic architectural character.
The Secretary of the Interior's guidelines for new buildings in historic districts or landmarks encourage
similarity of form and materials, but not actual replication. Review of proposed designs will be based on
the compatibility of the design within the context of the property's adjacent and nearby historic buildings.
The design ofnew buildings should have key elements of the building's historic period of significance including
massing, scale, fenestration and materials.
Infill buildings should not beabsolute reproductions, and appear asclearly contemporary. Only when a
previously demolished historic Grapevine bui|dingcanbeaccurotek/reo|icatednlayareproducdonbe
considered.
Infill buildings between historic buildings should be similar in setback, roof form, cornice line and materials,
Exhibit G
new buildings that tower over existing ones.
ADDITIONS TO HISTORIC BUILDINGS
Additions to historic buildings should compliment the style of the main building if possible; otherwise they
should adhere to the general style with simplified details. New additions should be designed in a manner
that makes clear what is historic and what is new and done in such a manner that the least amount of
historic materials or character defining features are not obscured, damaged or destroyed.
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 but recessed from the front line of historic building facade or if 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.
NEW BUILDING FORM, MASS AND SCALE
Traditionally, mass and scale are building patterns, particularly on Main Street and in the adjacent
residential areas, that defined an edge and height for a historic district.
New construction forms, massing and scale should incorporate or compliment the existing mass and scale
found within this property. The new work should be differentiated from the old, while yet clearly
' contemporary buildings. At a minimum, new construction should reflect the forms, massing, roof shapes,
cornice lines and building materials of the primary structures within the district and landmark.
NEW BUILDING MATERIALS
New building materials should be visually compatible with the predominate building materials for this
property. This property was primarily built with 3 building materials: stone, wood and steel. Wood siding and
stone are appropriate exterior building finishes for this property. Metal siding would be appropriate for
detached accessory outbuildings. Fake brick or stone or gravel aggregate finished materials are not
recommended.
New building construction should, as best as possible, be representative of these primary materials.
Secondary materials on new construction could be those used in other buildings within this property.
Modern synthetic siding materials, such as vinyl or composite hardboards bear little resemblance to historic
materials on this property and should thus be avoided. Newer contemporary synthetic materials, such as
fiber cement, may considered for new construction and in a location where they appear similar in character,
texture and profile to traditional building materials.
All new wood or metal materials should have a painted finish except on some building buildings where the
use of unpainted aluminum or galvanized steel was part of the original design and should be maintained.
