PUBLIC HEARING
Chairman Shope opened the Public Hearing for #CA16-97 for the property located
at 911 East Worth Street, legally described as Block 4 Lot 5, D. E. Box Addition,
Grapevine, Texas and take any necessary action.
Chairman Shope called on David Klempin to present the case.
BACKGROUND
Certificate of Appropriateness application #CA16-97 was submitted by the applicant,
Jared Childs, of C3 Equity, LLC on September 27, 2016 to paint over the exterior brick
of the historic Leon Burke house in the D. E. Box Addition Historic District. The
applicant purchased this property several months ago with the purpose to renovate
and update the house for resale to a new buyer. There were existing cracks in the
mortar of the exterior brick; to address the mortar cracks, the owner painted over the
brick and mortar with Sherwin Williams #SW 7028 white paint, without first applying for
a Certificate of Appropriateness as required from the Historic Preservation
Commission.
Per the Design Guidelines established for the D. E. Box Addition, brick shall not be
painted. The owner had expressed he was unaware of the requirement to maintain the
original brick and not to paint it. The white color painted over the brick is very bright
and not consistent with brick on the homes in the D. E. Box Addition, especially those
immediately surrounding it.
The owner was notified, of the violation of painting the brick, by Code Enforcement
who issued Citation number 00137 on September 14, 2016 and by letter from the City
Attorney on September 23, 2016.
The owner has stated to sandblast the paint off the brick or to chemically remove the
paint would be, for him, cost prohibitive. To remediate the violation, the owner has
offered to paint the brick a color more compatible with the original brick homes on
Worth Street. Options for this included painting it a color to match the color of the
original brick; painting it another appropriate color to better blend with the surrounding
homes; or applying a wash of another color to temper the white color and return the
depth and texture of the brick.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommended the Historic Preservation Commission deny Certificate of
Appropriateness #CA16-97 to paint over the exterior brick of the Historic Leon Burke
house with Sherwin Williams's #SW 7028 white paint.
Chairman Shope called on, the owner and applicant of the property, Jared Childs for
his comments. Mr. Childs stated he had been unaware this area was a historic
preserved district. He said the house next door was painted a good color, but felt his
needed to be different color. He noted he had absorbed the cost of metal windows as
required, rather than the vinyl windows he had planned to use. Mr. Childs said David
Klempin had suggested he strip the brick, but they did not think pressure washing, due
to the age of the brick, would stand up to this without damage.
Vice Chairman Lee Derr asked if the paint used was a heavy paint, Mr. Childs replied
it was a semi -gloss paint. Margaret Telford questioned the streaks down the left side
of the house, Mr. Childs replied some dirt had splashed on the paint. Vick Cox asked if
Mr. Childs had tried any other measures to fix, Mr. Childs had not. Ashley Anderson
asked about using a chemical peel paint remover, Vick Cox agreed with Ashley saying
a peel might be a good solution. Chuck Voelker said he would like to see some
attempt to try to correct the mistake, Margaret Telford agreed Mr. Childs should show
some attempt to resolve. Chuck Voelker said he would like to see a cost quote for
each of the measures the commissioners had suggested to Mr. Childs.
Chairman Shope called for any other comments. The Grapevine Heritage Foundation
chairman, Dr. Curtis Ratliff, came forward with his statement to be recorded into the
minutes of this case. Dr. Ratliff said the foundation serves as advocates for the
preservation of Grapevine's heritage, the D.E. Box Addition was recognized, by the
ordinance in place, to preserve the mid-century architecture. The ordinance protects
and does not support changes and is very clear about paint. Not enforcing the
ordinance is a slippery slope to begin to slide down losing one tooth at a time until
there will be no teeth or ordinance left.
Vice Chairman Derr suggested walnut or pecan shell blasting as not as destructive as
using sand. Chairman Shope addressed the methods suggested to remedy, and noted
his complete support of Dr. Ratliff's statements.
Margaret Telford made the motion to close the public hearing; City Attorney Matthew
Boyle approached the podium to advise, as Margaret's motion had died for lack of a
second, to continue the public hearing to allow discussion for the next meeting on
November 9, 2016.
Vick Cox made the motion to continue the public hearing for #CA16-97; Eric Gilliland
seconded the motion which prevailed in the following vote:
Ayes: 7 (Shope, Derr, Anderson, Cox, Telford, Voelker and Gilliland)
Nays: None
Absent: (Ware)

PUBLIC HEARING
Chairman Shope opened the Public Hearing for #CA16-98 for the property located
at 423 South Main Street, legally described as Block 18, Lot S301-10' STRIP S, City
of Grapevine, Grapevine, Texas and take any necessary action.
Chairman Shope called on David Klempin to present the case.
BACKGROUND:
Certificate of Appropriateness application #CA16-98 was submitted by applicants Paul
and Kathleen Ryan, owners of Tolbert's Restaurant, to install a mural on the exterior
south wall of the building along Franklin Street. The proposed mural was designed by
well-known western artist StyIle Reed and would be 16 feet tall by 38 feet wide and
located on the wall 3 feet above the existing grade. The western period scene was
adapted to represent the area of Denton Creek with surrounding plateaus, and the
signs indicating the distance to Grapevine and to Terlingua, Texas.
The applicant has applied for a grant to the Grapevine Convention & Visitors Bureau
board to fund a portion of the cost of the mural.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommended the approval of #CA16-98 for the installation of a wall mural as
per the attached rendering with the condition a permit be obtained from the Building
Department.
David Klempin stated the location for the mural was a large blank area now. The
concept presented for the mural is a western period style portraying the Denton Creek
area prior to the dam. Ashley Anderson questioned how many murals we now have;
David answered one at the Masonic Lodge and one from the 1980's on the Wood
Building, murals were a part of Grapevine's history. Vick Cox asked about a permit
required, David said the City's Development Services staff would have to permit. He
said in 2005, the Historic Preservation Commission had worked to get the new paint
color now on the stucco over brick wall.
Lee Derr made the motion to close the public hearing; Chuck Voelker seconded the
motion which prevailed in the following vote:
October 26, 2016 HPC\Minutes\2016 4
HPC 10.26.16
Ayes: 6 (Shope, Derr, Cox, Telford, Voelker and Gilliland)
Nays: 1 (Anderson)
Absent: (Ware)
Chairman Shope called for comments on the case. Ashley Anderson asked if the
other murals had representation of another city, like the Terlingua theme; odd to have
another city's name on the building. David said the reference to Terlingua was from
the family's history and they would be cooperative to make adjustments. The
commissioners questioned the mileage represented on the directional signs, deciding
Grapevine would have been one-half to two miles from the depicted Denton Creek
area.
Vick Cox made the motion to approve #CA16-98 with the conditions as presented;
Lee Derr seconded the motion which prevailed in the following vote:
Ayes: 6 (Shope, Derr, Cox, Telford, Voelker and Gilliland)
Nays: 1 (Anderson)
Absent: (Ware)
