PUBLIC HEARING Chairman Gilliam opened the Public Hearing for #HL14-05 for the property located at 1400 South Main Street, legally described as Block 1, Lot 1, First National Bank Addition, City of 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: On April 23, 2014 the Historic Preservation Commission voted unanimously to bring forward a case for landmark designation of the First National Bank Building property located at 1400 South Main Street. The circa 1970 building, constructed as the First National Bank of Grapevine and now owned by Wells Fargo Bank, is one of Grapevine's most iconic structures. It marks the south gateway entrance to Grapevine's historic Main Street at State Hwy. 114. This five acre tract of land was purchased in 1963 by Mr. Joseph N. Box as the most desirable of available locations. The building's sleek cubist design is unique in Grapevine and adds sophistication to Historic Main Street with its clean lines, high quality materials and sophistication exemplified through simplicity. The building was designed by architect George Dahl, well known for his circa1965 52 -story First National Bank Tower of Dallas. The Grapevine bank was built and equipped at a cost of more than $600,000 in 1970; it was the second building on Main Street by the Box family to bring an unusual level of quality to Grapevine's commercial district. In 1942, Mr. D. E. Box, father of Joseph N. Box, built the new First National Bank of Grapevine building at the corner of Worth and Main Streets. May 28, 2014 HPC\Minutes12014 2 HPC 05.28.14 Joseph Box, following his father in business and in thinking, sought the finest architect for this second bank building, Mr. George Dahl. Mr. Box said in the July 2, 1970, Grapevine Sun newspaper "the 14,000 square feet edifice faced with Georgia white marble was designed to benefit the whole of the Grapevine community by attracting new businesses to the area." The building built in 1970 would have been $3,348,000 in today's money. After seeing the Wells Fargo proposal to reface the exterior with a stick -on stone product, staff contacted Wells Fargo to meet and discuss the preservation of this piece of the community's heritage and the gateway to Grapevine from the south. Staff met with the Wells Fargo architects. This item was placed on the March Historic Preservation Commission agenda and posted at City Hall; late that day the Wells Fargo architect called and asked to please pull this item from the agenda; and it was removed. Staff met with Wells Fargo contractors John Schleutter and Jason Kim to ask for the preservation of this iconic building. Alternative similar materials were discussed but would not have the authenticity of the Georgia marble exterior. Several days later staff learned Wells Fargo had taken action filing for a permit to remove the marble. From the point of Grapevine's preservation, this building should be respected and protected. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Historic Overlay #HL14-05 to record the history of the property and to allow the Historic Preservation Commission to have input in the development of the property. A set of proposed design guidelines for the property are in the agenda packet. John Schleutter of S.G. Design and Jason Kim of Wells Fargo maintenance were both present to answer the Commission's questions. Commissioner Ted Ware said discussion needed to be, not with Grapevine personnel, but with a higher management level in Wells Fargo. Council Liaison Shane Wilbanks agreed discussion needed to be with upper management regarding this building Grapevine sees and knows as an icon. The Commission asked again for Wells Fargo to voluntarily landmark this property.

Chairman Gilliam called on David Klempin to present the case. BACKGROUND: Certificate of Appropriateness application #CA14-32 was submitted on May 14, 2014 by the owner Lauren Jaquess Jackson and Chris Jackson to construct a new addition to the Craighill Cottage following City of Grapevine Design Guidelines for Historic Residential Structures. The addition has been designed to adhere to the additional provisions of the Grapevine Historic Preservation ordinance adopted in June 2013 including the side yard setback plane. This lot is located in the College Heights Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is included in the Original Grapevine Township boundary. This area encompasses some of the most concentrated and intact collections of late nineteenth and early twentieth century houses in the city of Grapevine. The surrounding contributing sites with structures erected between circa 1889 and circa 1950 represent the efforts of many of Grapevine's leading merchants and professionals, as well as farmers and wage earners during the period of significance. This area provides some of the city's best examples of buildings associated with people and events who made significant contributions to the history of Grapevine.

The Commission discussed the set back of the house; David Klempin said it is 40 feet back, therefore fitting in nicely, Margaret Telford said many nice bungalows were being over -built with the second story trend, she clarified this was not a concern for this case, but to be wary not to let too many of these in the Township.
