BACKGROUND: On January 27, 2016 the Grapevine Historic Preservation Commission approved Historic Landmark overlay #HL15-11 for the House at 512 Estill Street. The property is located in the College Heights Addition of Grapevine, Texas. The minimal traditional house was built in 1946 by the Higgins family; and later occupied by the Hilliard family for 18 years. On April 28, 2016 owner Daniel Shipman submitted #HL16-07 application requesting the Historic Overlay #HL15-11 for 512 East Texas Street be removed from the property. He said he applied for the historic overlay for the property with a separate May 25, 2016 HPCIMinutes12016 4 HPC 05.25.16 CA for demolition of the original house and construction of a replacement home for his family. At the meeting the Commission approved Historic Landmark overlay #HL15-11 for the property. The Commission tabled CA15-107 to allow the owner to develop a new plan to keep the original house. This case was tabled to the March and April meetings. At the April meeting the owner requested the case be withdrawn so a new proposal could be presented at the May 25, 2016 upcoming meeting of the HPC. #HL15-11 had not gone before the Planning & Zoning Commission and/or the City Council for ratification. On April 29, 2016 the owner submitted two new proposals for the property, meeting the requirements of the 2013 Historic Preservation Ordinance for non-landmarked properties. #CA16-48 was submitted on April 28, 2016 for the replat of lot 3 and 4 into one lot with the renovation and an addition to the original house as per the attached plans. #CA16-49 to replat Lot 5 to include 10 feet of Lot 4 and a new period style house as per the attached plans.

BACKGROUND Certificate of Appropriateness application #CA16-48 was submitted on April 29, 2016 by the applicant Dan Proctor construction of a new addition to the original Higgins - Hilliard house c. 1946 located on Lots 3 and 4. The 1,050 square foot minimal traditional style house is rectangular in plan with a projecting front porch. The house is sheathed in No. 105 wood siding popular in the 1940s. In 2003 the previous owner renovated the front of the house, removing the original porch and replacing it with a much larger porch extending the length of the house. A new front door with side lights was installed and windows to the right of the front door were combined into a paired unit. A new hip roof was added, tying together the new porch with the existing gable roof. New porch railings were added with lattice screening below. Overlay aluminum siding was added to the front facade. This house was identified in 1998 by the Texas Historical Commission as a contributing structure to the College Heights Neighborhood of the Historic Grapevine Township District. Plans for the new home and outbuildings were developed by J. Thacker, Custom Home Designs of Hurst, Texas to follow the updated 2013 ordinance for non- landmarked buildings. Historic Preservation staff recommends the following changes: match all siding with original siding found on the house and on the right side elevation move the garage door to the left and center it under the gable. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Historic Preservation Commission approve with conditions #CA16-48 for the replat of Lots 3 and 4 into one lot and reapportion 10' of Lot 4 to Lot 5, thereby establishing Lot 5 as 60' in width; to renovate and construct a new addition to the Higgins -Hilliard house with the conditions to match all siding with the original siding found on the house; on the right side elevation, move the garage door to the left and center it under the gable and a building permit is obtained from the Building Department.
