H PCO2/24/21
BACKGROUND:
Certificate of Appropriateness application #CA21-07 was submitted on January 27,
2021 by owner/applicant Eric Whetstone to demolish the existing one -car detached
garage/storage structure currently built over the rear property line; to reconstruct the
structure using wood salvaged from the original structure to serve as a workshop and
storage building for the house; to renovate the existing front porch roof, expanding its
width to enhance its design with period details following the Design Guidelines.
The property was landmarked by the Grapevine Historic Preservation Commission at
the October 2020 Meeting. Since then the Whetstones have worked with staff on plans
to adapt the house to serve as their family home. The structure was constructed without
a concrete foundation and is in poor structural condition. The existing porch roof
extends beyond the building line. The Whetstones propose to enhance the appearance
of the porch roof by widening it with period appropriate architectural details (sketches as
proposed were shown); this dimensional change required approval from the Grapevine
Board of Zoning Adjustment.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommended the Historic Preservation Commission approve with conditions
Certificate of Appropriateness #CA21-07 for the property located at 415 South Dooley
Street, legally described as Block 112, Lot '/2 1-2, College Heights Addition, City of
Grapevine, to the Grapevine Historic Preservation Ordinance 91-73 (Appendix G —
Grapevine Code of Ordinances), as amended for the following items:
1) To demolish the existing one -car detached garage/storage structure built over
the rear property line; reconstruct the structure using wood salvaged from the
original structure and six feet from the south and rear property lines;
2) Renovate the existing front porch roof, expanding the width to enhance its
appearance with period details following the Design Guidelines; and
3) Construct a new two -car Porte-cochere on the south side of the house;
as per the attached plans and specifications with the conditions the Board of Zoning
Adjustment (BZA) does approve expanding the width of the porch roof and a Building
Permit is obtained from the Building Department; and all exterior materials, finishes,
paint colors, doors and hardware, windows and exterior light fixtures are required to be
approved on a separate Certificate(s) of Appropriateness.
Staff review of the Secretary of Interior Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic
Structures Ten Criteria (attached) with regard to the proposed plans for the property
found the proposed new workshop with storage structure to be in compliance. Exterior
materials of the workshop would match the materials of the house with the workshop
painted to match the color scheme of the house. Mr. Klempin said The Whetstones had
worked hard to maintain the existing house down to the hardwood floors and the original
footprint of the house; the front porch is a matter of tweaking if the BZA will permit.
