Closed St. on S., College Heights Addition, Grapevine, Texas to the Grapevine Historic Preservation Ordinance 91-73 (Appendix G — Grapevine Code of Ordinances). Vice Chairman Derr called on David Klempin to present the case. BACKGROUND: The house at 710 East Wall street is located in the College Heights Addition and within the boundary of the Original Town Residential Historic District. The house was built in 1930 in the Craftsman bungalow style. Located to the rear of the house is a detached storage building. The Craftsman bungalow style house is located on the south side of East Wall Street. This was the predominant style for smaller houses built throughout the country during the period from about 1905 until the early 1920's. The Craftsman bungalow style, like the Prairie style, was quickly spread throughout the country by pattern books and popular magazines. The style features low pitched gabled roofs with a wide, unenclosed eave overhang. About one third of craftsman houses are built with a front gabled roof. The house is thought to have been built on this site; .it has pier and beam construction, wood lap siding, wood windows, doors and decorative bracket features. A double front facing gable feature contains the large front porch and the house roof line. The original craftsman style columns have been replaced with straight wood posts. The original wood shingle roof has been replaced with composition shingles. A small wood frame storage building is located in the backyard which is non-contributing to the significance of the original house. Extensive renovation was completed in 2011 by David Smith. At that time the house's plumbing, electrical systems, the kitchen and bathroom were upgraded for modern standards. A carport/pergola structure was added at the side of the house to provide protection for vehicles. On the interior, original bookcases, millwork and fireplace mantle have been preserved. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Historic Overlay #HL13-06 to record the -- history of the property and to allow the Historic Preservation Commission to have December 18, 2013 HPCIMinutes12013 2 HPC 12.18.13 input in the development and the preservation of the house. A set of the proposed design guidelines for the property were presented. Vice Chairman Derr called on the homeowner, Audrea Weimer, to speak. Ms. Weimer said she preferred to live an area of preservation but needed the renovation to add some square footage and much needed storage areas. She plans to have a two story garage with overhead storage, a cabana and to enlarge the master suite to include an en suite bath and closet.

Closed St. on S., College Heights Addition, Grapevine, Texas to the Grapevine Historic Preservation Ordinance 91-73 (Appendix G — Grapevine Code of Ordinances). Vice Chairman Derr called on David Klempin to present the case. BACKGROUND: Certificate of Appropriateness application #CA13-106 was submitted on November 27, 2013 by the owner, Audrea Weimer, to construct a new bathroom addition on the original bungalow style house and to add a new two car detached garage and pool house in the rear yard of the property. The 880 square feet existing house was renovated in 2011 by builder David Smith. The electrical and plumbing systems and the existing bathroom and kitchen were upgraded for modem standards. Modifications to the home are to allow the house to better serve the Weimer family's needs and requirements. Plans were prepared by Scott Buchanan of Innovative Home Designs. The additions and renovation have been designed to be consistent with the Craftsman bungalow style of the house. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommended the Historic Preservation Commission approve with conditions Certificate of Appropriateness #CA13-106 for the property located at December 18, 2013 HPC1Minutes12013 3 HPC 12.18.13 710 East Wall Street to construct a new master bath and closet; to demolish the existing non-contributing storage building in rear yard; to construct a new two car -- detached garage and pool house in rear yard of property; with the conditions all exterior windows, doors, lighting fixtures and all exterior materials, finishes and paint colors are to be approved under a separate Certificate of Appropriateness and a permit be obtained from the Building Department. David Klempin said the presented plans met and followed the new preservation ordinance; he complimented the plans as excellent on the setback of the upper half story, the height and staying true to the bungalow style. Commissioner Margaret Telford said the backyard plans would leave very little green space; Ms. Weimer said the decking would surround an existing 40 year old tree and the existing carport slab would become crushed granite or something decorative. Chuck Voelker asked how much room would be left behind the proposed cabana; Ms. Weimer answered about 15 feet as this portion is the closed part of the alley as noted in the legal description.

David Klempin told the Commission Mr. Watkins had bought several properties in the Township. The house at 514 East Texas Street was purchased in foreclosure; it is in fairly good condition but does need some foundation work. The application presented would give the house a third bedroom and another bath; the plans presented followed the new ordinance. The builder, Neal Cooper was present for the review.

Box Addition, Grapevine, Texas to the Grapevine Historic Preservation Ordinance 91- 73 (Appendix G — Grapevine Code of Ordinances). Vice Chairman Derr called on David Klempin to present the case. BACKGROUND: December 18, 2013 HPC1Minutes12013 5 HPC 12.18.13 Certificate of Appropriateness application #CA13-107 was submitted on December 4, 2013 by the owner Neal Cooper to renovate the existing ranch style house built in 1965 and to construct a new two -car detached garage at the rear of the property. The existing house contains 1,330 square feet of living area and a large two -car attached garage. The existing two -car garage would be renovated to serve as additional bedrooms for the house. A new two -car detached garage would be constructed in the rear yard of the house. A non -original gable porch roof on the front elevation would be removed to enhance the sleek contemporary lines of the Dutch gable roof of the original house. The Dutch gable roof would then be repeated on the new two car detached garage building with the exterior finished in No. 105 wood siding.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommended the Historic Preservation Commission approve with conditions Certificate of Appropriateness #CA13-107 for the property located at 841 East Texas Street to renovate the existing house to enclose the existing two - car garage and convert to bedrooms; install new windows and create new window openings in existing exterior walls; and to construct a new detached two -car garage in rear yard of the property as per the attached plans with the condition a building permit is obtained from the building department. David Klempin said Neal Cooper had purchased the house to renovate. The house would require a significant amount of work to bring it to modern standards; it would require some brick work, new windows and a free standing garage in the rear yard. The house had a fire some years ago and the finished interior is now bare bones inside; the ceiling would be opened up for more height. Mr. Cooper said the house has some major foundation problems to be repaired and the plans would bring the house to about 2,200 square feet. He would clean up the architecture while preserving the original look. The house was built eight years after the surrounding homes; it sits 50 feet from the street and the detached garage would be 30 feet from the rear of the house. Commissioner Ted Ware said he was surprised there had not been more work on this block as this was a nice big street.
