Survey, City of Grapevine of the Grapevine Historic Preservation Ordinance 91-73 (Appendix G - Grapevine Code of Ordinances), as amended for the following items: Revisions to previously approved new mixed-use retail office structure to include; creation of a vehicular drop-off point on the Main Street side of the building; adding a second floor to the one-story fagade at the north end of the building; and angling the fagade wall in the second floor balcony area to reflect the foot print of the first floor; as per attached plans with the conditions the details of the elevations, individual storefronts, materials, windows, doors and paint colors be approved by the Commission on a separate Certificate of Appropriateness. BACKGROUND: Certificate of Appropriateness application #CA12-31 was submitted on June 13, 2012 by the applicant Fred Meyer to demolish the existing structures and replace them with a new mixed-use retail/office structure as per the attached plans. The property is located within the Main Street Commercial Historic District and is currently landmarked. At the September 51h meeting of the Historic Preservation commission a new structure was approved designed to appear as several period - style buildings to reflect the context of small scale retail buildings that are found along Main Street. An open air passage and second floor balcony bisect the building structure along Main and Jenkins Streets with parking is located along January 23, 2013 HPC\Minutes\2013 2 HPC 01.23.13 Jenkins Street at the rear of the structure.

These revisions include creation of a vehicular drop-off point on the Main Street side of the building; adding a second floor to the one-story fagade at the north end of the building; and angling the fagade wall in the second floor balcony area to reflect the footprint of the first floor as per the attached plans. Staff recommends approval of Certificate of Appropriateness #CA13-04 for revisions to the previously approved mixed-use retail office structure with the condition the details of the elevations, individual store fronts, materials, windows, doors and paint colors be approved by the Commission on a separate Certificate of Appropriateness. The developer had requested to keep the existing pole signs to incorporate into the new structure as a nice nod to preserving the location's past. Vice -Chair Lee Derr asked if these were the box signs with internal lighting. The signs are box signs like the "City Drug" sign; the signs would show tenant's names and change with each new tenant. Chairman Gilliam called for anyone with the project to speak; no was present. Vice -Chair Derr said the four doors on the upper looked like a remodel with windows replaced by doors; he said there should be a brick pilaster placed in the center of the two sets of doors; he added he did not favor the existing signs from the 1970's to be retained. Commissioner Ted Ware said he was a fan of the old signs, he did not see a downside to preserving as many old signs as appropriate and the signs were original to the building Jim Armstrong had built there. Planning and Zoning Liaison Monica Hotelling questioned if the four doors were actual swinging doors or a roll -up door, the doors were swinging doors. Sam Felberbaum of Grapevine Subs & More asked if the construction by the Chateau Group, LTD would have an impact on his business; he requested the construction debris be contained to not interfere with his open-air dining business and to not interrupt his use of electrical and water utilities. Margaret Telford made the motion to close the public hearing. Ted Ware seconded the motion which prevailed in the following vote: Ayes: All (Gilliam, Derr, Anderson, Cox, Shope, Telford and Ware) Nays: None Margaret Telford made a motion for the approval of #CA13-05 with the conditions as presented and adding the second floor double sets of doors to be separated by a brick pilaster and the existing pole signs to be "grandfathered" preserved for continued use.

David Klempin explained the site plan presented would still require approval from the Planning & Zoning Commission to consider the parking plan. Chairman Gilliam called on the Brownings as the owners to speak. Laura Browning stated they needed this area to be able to seat up to 40 guests for private party groups. Commissioner Vick Cox questioned if the proposed windows would look the same as the existing vinyl windows, being as the proposed windows would have to be made of wood as the property is landmarked. Laura said they did have a wood window to match. Sean Shope made the motion to close the public hearing. Margaret Telford seconded the motion which prevailed in the following vote: Ayes: All (Gilliam, Derr, Anderson, Cox, Shope, Telford and Ware) Nays: None Sean Shope made the motion for the approval of #CA12-76 with the conditions as presented and all materials be staff approved.

David Klempin explained the Pizza Snob restaurant was an interesting potential tenant for the 520 South Main Street building and the signage was being brought before the Commission.

City Council Liaison Shane Wilbanks explained the parking plan had been "tabled" by the City Council and Tony Bologna was here to present his plan for appropriate parking and working to return to Council in 30 days. Vice -Chairman Lee Derr asked if there was a nice landscape screening design, David answered yes it would screened according to the city ordinance. Chairman Burl Gilliam called on Tony Bologna to answer the commissioner's questions. Lee asked Tony about the landscape screening as a buffer as seen from the office space there.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Historic Preservation Commission approve with conditions Certificate of Appropriateness #CA12-87 for the property located at 413 East Texas Street, legally described as Block 1, Lot 2, Millican Place Addition, to the Grapevine Historic Preservation Ordinance 91-73 (Appendix G - January 23, 2013 HPC\Minutes\2013 7 HPC 01.23.13 Grapevine Code of Ordinances), as amended for the following items: Construct new 1 '/2 story period -style house with guest house and detached 3 -car garage structure following the design guidelines established an Place addition, with the conditions that all exterior materials, windows, doors and paint colors be approved under a separate Certificate of Appropriateness. BACKGROUND: Certificate of Appropriateness application #CA12-87 was submitted on December 19, 2012 by the owner David and Suzanne Brady for the construction of a new 1 1/2/ story house on lot 2 of the Millican Place Addition. The plans have been prepared following the design guidelines established for the Millican Place Addition. The house will serve as the primary residence for the Brady family. Lot 2 of the Millican Place Addition was created from what was once a part of the Bill and Helen Millican home place. The property is significant for its association with the former Grapevine blacksmith Millican family. For over 80 years the Millican family's blacksmith shop at Main and Texas Streets served the community from the time when horse drawn equipment was used to plow the Grapevine prairie through the transitional time of the advent of the automobile, when the horse and buggy was still in use. The plans for the proposed house were based on an award winning Southern Living House of the Year and the working drawings were prepared by Hub City Productions of Dallas following the Design Guidelines established for the property under its historic landmark designation. Staff recommends approval of #CA12-87 for construction of the new house with the conditions all final selections of all exterior materials, windows, doors and paint colors be approved under a separate Certificate of Appropriateness. David Klempin said the proposed house is nicely scaled, leaving open space on the lot. It is a 1 '/2 story home with many windows, with some windows needing to be narrower to match the others. It is a traditional salt box roofline; the family's main entrance will be from the rear garage. Margaret Telford questioned if the guest cottage bedroom and bath was part of the house. David and Suzanne Brady answered yes, it is open to the house but it does have an exterior entrance/exit. Ted Ware commented on the house as being "not imposing". It is a 2,600 square foot house with a 400 square foot garage to total 3,000 square feet on a 12,000 square foot lot. Scott Williams Director, City of Grapevine Development Services, said the plans did meet the requirements of the proposed ordinance to protect the Township. Vick Cox questioned how many trees would be removed by the build; David Brady said only one pecan tree. Margaret Telford made the motion to close the public hearing. Ted Ware seconded the motion which prevailed in the following vote: Ayes: All (Gilliam, Derr, Anderson, Cox, Shope, Telford and Ware) Nays: None January 23, 2013 HPC\Minutes\2013 8 HPC 01.23.13 Sean Shope made a motion for the approval of #CA12-87 with the conditions as presented and all materials be staff approved. Ashley Anderson seconded the motion which prevailed in a vote of: Ayes: All (Gilliam, Derr, Anderson, Cox, Shope, Telford and Ware) Nays: None WORKSHOP Chairman Gilliam asked Scott Williams to present the updates on the December 19, 2012 Workshop for the proposed amendments to the Grapevine Code of Ordinances. Scott stated he had emailed each of the commissioners and asked for their comments; he noted and thanked Vick Cox for his input, saying he had made the changes and they were now shown underlined. Scott said he was present to listen to the commissioner's comments before bringing the proposed ordinance before the City Council. Scott showed a copy of the proposed ordinance super -imposed over the 310 East College Street home to show how the proposal would protect from another overbuild. City Council Liaison Shane Wilbanks said their mission should be to protect the integrity of the Township's time period; their driving force should be to meet the criteria of size for that period. Shane said the Mayor had noted the ordinance as a tool to be used by the commissioners. Vice -Chair Lee Derr said his only concern was the restriction of not allowing more than a 10 percent increase over the largest home in a 300 foot radius; he recommended a 20 percent increase. Vick Cox said within a 300' radius from anywhere there will be a large house. David shared how nice 310 East College Street was built, saying lovely inch by inch, just too big. Ted Ware commented the home in this location looks like a four-plex. This home is a full two-story containing a 16' x 24' game room plus a 16' x 24' media room; these are not essential rooms. Scott agreed with Ted Ware as the home would be beautiful on an island alone, but not in the Historic Township. Shane explained the proposed ordinance would protect all, those building and their neighbors. Scott said most of the zoning restrictions are already in place as no structure taller than 35 feet and a maximum of 40% lot coverage are allowed. Sean Shope asked if a 1,500 square foot home, would only be allowed 150 square feet to be added; he noted we should be careful to filter through the restrictions. Ted Ware and Monica Hotelling reminded all there is a process to go before City Council to appeal. Ted said we must start someplace, if the City Council thinks too restrictive they will not approve. Scott agreed, saying every ordinance has an appeal process; Monica agreed you could spend all day with "what if?, what if?" but there is always an appeal process. Vick Cox made the motion to take the proposed ordinance before the City January 23, 2013 HPC\Minutes\2013 9 HPC 01.23.13 Council. Margaret Telford seconded the motion which prevailed in the following vote: Ayes: 6 (Gilliam, Derr, Cox, Shope, Telford and Ware) Nays: 1 (Anderson) Scott Williams said he will email out again and take their comments to present to the City Council Workshop in February and to Council in March. MINUTES Chairman Gilliam called to consider the minutes as written. Ted Ware made the motion to accept the December 19, 2012 minutes. Ashley Anderson seconded the motion, which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: All (Gilliam, Derr, Anderson, Cox, Shope, Telford and Ware) Nays: None ADJOURNMENT Margaret Telford made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Ted Ware seconded the motion, which prevailed in the following vote: Ayes: All (Gilliam, Derr, Anderson, Cox, Shope, Telford and Ware) Nays: None PASSED AND APPROVED BY THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF GRAPEVINE, TEXAS, ON THIS THE 231 DAY OF February 27, 2013.
