BACKGROUND:
On September 9, 2014, the owner Neal Cooper of Copper Street Homes,
submitted #HL14-07 for the property located at 705 East Texas Street. This 710
sq. ft. house was built in 1946 in the minimal traditional style popular in
Grapevine following World War II. The house is asymmetrical with a gable to the
left of the front entrance door. The house is sheathed in No.105 wood siding and
features aluminum windows, a popular and sophisticated feature for the 1940s.
The College Heights Addition was established in 1907 when Grapevine became
an incorporated Town. It is a significant part of the Original Town Residential
Historic District which is a cohesive grouping of residential buildings, set in a
historically appropriate natural and man-made landscape representing the late
19th and early 20th century residential history of Grapevine.
Surviving basically intact are dwellings representing a variety of vernacular forms
and nationally popular domestic architectural styles from the 1880s to the 1940s.
The architectural fabric within the neighborhood reflects the distinctive
architectural characteristics of late 19th and early 20th century residential
buildings. Its buildings hold an association with people and events who made a
significant contribution to the history of Grapevine. Its homes are tangible
reminders of the community's settlement and early years of prosperity, reflecting
the architectural traits, patterns of land use and other elements of landscape
embodying the period of 1880s to 1940s; and help to tell the story of the families
and individuals who contributed to the growth and development of Grapevine
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the Historic Overlay #HL14-07 to record the
history of the property and to allow the Historic Preservation Commission to have
input in the development and the future of the development of the house and
property in the College Heights addition. As per the proposed design guidelines.

HPC 09.24.14
Chairman Gilliam opened the Public Hearing for #CA14-59 for the property
located at 705 East Texas Street, legally described as Block 105, Lot 9, College
Heights Addition, Grapevine, Texas and take any necessary action to the
Grapevine Historic Preservation Ordinance 91-73 (Appendix G -Grapevine Code
of Ordinances). Chairman Gilliam called on David Klempin to present the case.
BACKGROUND:
Certificate of Appropriateness application #CA14-59 was submitted on
September 9, 2014 by the owner Neal Cooper for the renovation and
construction of a new addition and detached two -car garage to the existing
house. The owner submitted an application for Historic Landmark overlay
#HL14-07 for the property on September 9, 2014 and Design Guidelines have
been prepared for the property. The existing structure on the site is located in the
College Heights Addition and was constructed in 1946 in the minimal traditional
style. The house is 710 square feet in size.
The renovation and new addition would incorporate the existing house into a
larger 1 '/z -story traditional -style house with a new two -car detached garage
building. The house would contain 3,188 square feet of living area and a 499
square foot detached garage. These new additions are designed to be
compatible with the new landmarked properties to the east and south of the
house, on the corners of Texas and Wood Streets. The original house would be
lifted and a new foundation constructed beneath it, prior to additions being
constructed. The plans for the house have been prepared following the design
guidelines established for the property. The house will serve as the primary
residence for the new owner.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of #CA14-59 for construction of the renovation; new
addition; and garage with the conditions historic landmark overlay #HL14-07 is
approved for the property and all exterior materials, windows, doors, light fixtures
and paint colors be approved under separate Certificates of Appropriateness.
Mr. Neal Cooper spoke to the Commission regarding Grapevine's soil and the
foundation option of physically injecting a stabilizer into the soil. He said he has
done this on several properties, it is very expensive, but it does stabilize the
foundation and you are back to a foundation good for 100 years. The house is
designed to mirror the Dr. Davis house across the street; there are townhomes
behind the property. Mr. Cooper will use the 105 siding, rather than Hardie
board; the 105 is more difficult but will match the original siding on the house.
The small 710 square feet house had been dwarfed by the surrounding homes;
the proposed plans will balance out this corner. He will use wood windows, no
metal clad.

Commissioner Margaret Telford suggested raising the gable. Mr. Cooper said
had raised the gable three times upon David Klempin's recommendation. He
said he should have brought a perspective drawing and he will include on future
cases.
Vice -Chairman R. Lee Derr asked about the 1945 home versus a Craftsman; he
would like to keep the same feel as the original house. Mr. Cooper said he was
willing to replace the shingling and go with siding in the gables; this was agreed
to and also to not use the Craftsman windows but "one over one" windows as
original to the house. Lee complimented Mr. Cooper on the massing of the
proposed plans.
Chairman Gilliam told Mr. Cooper he really appreciated him and his work with the
Commission. He responded he is learning and continues to study balancing the
soil and streetscape. Commissioner Vick Cox added this roof was actually Tess
dominant and set further back than his own house.
