PROVIDING FOR THE ADOPTION OF THE JACKSON HOUSE HISTORIC DISTRICT DESIGN GUIDELINES; CORRECTING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP; PRESERVING ALL OTHER PORTIONS OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE; PROVIDING A CLAUSE RELATING TO SEVERABILITY; DETERMINING THAT THE PUBLIC INTERESTS, MORALS AND GENERAL WELFARE DEMAND A ZONING CHANGE AND AMENDMENT THEREIN MADE; PROVIDING A PENALTY OF FINE NOT TO EXCEED THE SUM OF TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS ($2,000.00) FOR EACH OFFENSE, AND A SEPARATE OFFENSE SHALL BE DEEMED COMMITTED EACH DAY DURING OR ON WHICH AN OFFENSE OCCURS OR CONTINUES; DECLARING AN EMERGENCY AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE WHEREAS, an application was made by the Grapevine Historic Preservation Commission requesting a historic landmark subdistrict designation by making application for same with the Planning & Zoning Commission of the City of Grapevine, Texas as required by State statutes and the zoning ordinances of the City of Grapevine, Texas and all the legal requirements, conditions and prerequisites having been complied with, the case having come before the City Council of the City of Grapevine, Texas after all legal notices, requirements, conditions and prerequisites having been complied with; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Grapevine, Texas at a public hearing called by the City Council did consider the following factors in making a determination as to whether this requested historic landmark subdistrict designation should be granted or denied; safety of the motoring public and the pedestrians using the facilities in the area immediately surrounding the site; safety from fire hazards and measures for fire control, protection of adjacent property from flood or water damages, noise producing elements and glare of the vehicular and stationary lights and effect of such lights on established character of the neighborhood, location, lighting and types of signs and relation of signs to traffic control and adjacent property, street size and adequacy of width for traffic reasonably expected to be generated by the proposed use around the site and in the immediate neighborhood, adequacy of parking as determined by requirements of this ordinance for off-street parking facilities, location of ingress and egress points for parking and off-street locating spaces, and protection of public health by surfacing on all parking areas to control dust, effect on the promotion of health and the general welfare, effect on light and air, the effect on the transportation, water sewerage, schools, parks and other facilities; and WHEREAS, all of the requirements of Section 39 of Appendix "D" of the Code of Ordinances have been satisfied by the submission of evidence at a public hearing; and WHEREAS, the City Council further considered, among other things, the character of the existing zoning district and its peculiar suitability for particular uses and with the view to conserve the value of buildings and encourage the most appropriate use of land throughout this city; WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Grapevine, Texas does find that there is a public necessity for the granting of this historic landmark subdistrict, that the public demands it, that the public interest clearly requires the amendment, that the zoning changes do not unreasonably invade the rights of those who bought or improved property with reference to the classification which existed at the time their original investment was made; and does find that the historic landmark subdistrict designation lessens the congestion in the streets, helps secure safety from fire, panic and other dangers; promotes health and the general welfare; provides adequate light and air; prevents the overcrowding of land; avoids undue concentration of population; facilitates the adequate provisions of transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks and other public requirements; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Grapevine, Texas has determined that there is a necessity and need for this historic landmark subdistrict designation and has also found and determined that there has been a change in the conditions of the property surrounding and in close proximity to the property requested for a change since this property was originally classified; and, therefore, feels that historic landmark subdistrict designation for the particular piece of property is needed, is called for, and is in the best interest of the public at large, the citizens of the City of Grapevine, Texas and helps promote the general health, safety, and welfare of this community. THEREFORE, ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCILOF GRAPEVINE, TEXAS: Section 1. That the City does hereby designate a historic landmark subdistrict (HL06-02) in accordance with Section 39 of Ordinance No. 82-73, being the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance of the City of Grapevine, Texas same being also known as Appendix "D" of the City Code of Grapevine, Texas, in a district zoned "R-7.5" Single Family District Regulations within the following described property: 326 East Texas Street and legally described as Tract 63B, Abstract 422, William Dooley Survey, and in addition thereto, the adoption of the Jackson House Historic District Design Guidelines as ORD. NO. 2 conditions, regulations and safeguards in connection with the said historic landmark subdistrict, a copy of said criteria being attached hereto and labeled Exhibit "A". Section 2. The City Manager is hereby directed to correct the official zoning map of the City of Grapevine, Texas to reflect the "H" zoning designation. Section 3. That in all other respects, the use of the tract or tracts of land herein above described shall be subject to all the applicable regulations contained in said City of Grapevine zoning ordinances and all other applicable and pertinent ordinances of the City of Grapevine, Texas. Section 4. That the zoning regulations and districts as herein established have been made in accordance with the comprehensive plan for the purpose of promoting health, safety, morals and the general welfare of the community. They have been designed with respect to both present conditions and the conditions reasonably anticipated to exist in the foreseeable future, to lessen congestion in the streets; to secure safety from fire, panic, flood and other dangers; provide adequate light and air; to prevent overcrowding of land, to avoid undue concentration of population; facilitate the adequate provisions of transportation, water, sewerage, drainage and surface water, parks and other public requirements, and to make adequate provisions for the normal business, commercial needs and development of the community. They have been made with reasonable consideration, among other things, of the character of the district, and its peculiar suitability for the particular uses and with a view of conserving the value of buildings and encouraging the most appropriate use of land throughout the community. Section 5. This ordinance shall be cumulative of all other ordinances of the City of Grapevine, Texas affecting zoning and shall not repeal any of the provisions of said ordinances except in those instances where provisions of those ordinances are in direct conflict with the provisions of this ordinance.

Elaborate on pertinent materials used and style(s) of architectural detailing, embellishments and site details. The Jackson House is a 1 -story Post World War II structure that is a vernacular interpretation of the Colonial Revival style. The house faces north and features a side gabled roof with lower cross gable bays on the facade. The roof is covered with asphalt shingles and has exposed rafter tails at the eaves. The two gabled bays are located at the east and west ends of the facade and each features a large 8/8 hung wood window. Between the bays is a recessed porch protected by a flat roof. The porch roof is supported by three nonoriginal wrought iron supports. A historic photograph reveals that the porch roof was originally supported by two pairs of wood posts located at the corners on the porch. A wood balustrade located on top of the porch roof was removed at an unknown date. Underneath the porch are triplet 6/6 wood hung windows with the entrance located to the far right or west end of the porch. The historic photo shows that the facade originally had beveled wood siding with the upper portion of the gable bays covered with a vertical wood siding with scallops on the lower ends. The east elevation has a small, square attic vent under the gable eaves, paired 6/6 hung wood windows near the north and south ends and one 6/6 hung wood window near the center.This elevation has a small attic vent under the gable eaves, one 6/6 hung wood window near the north end and a small 3/3 hung wood window near the center. This house sits on a lot that is approximately 129 feet wide and 200 feet deep. At the southeast corner of the property is a small, 1 -story hall -and -parlor side gabled house. It is covered with weatherboard siding. The roof has exposed rafter tails and is covered with asphalt shingles. Behind the main house is another rectangular -shaped house with a side gabled roof covered with asphalt shingles. At the southwest corner of the property is a 2 -story L-shaped garage/apartment. The ages of these three buildings is not known although Mr. Jackson's son, Charles, states that they were constructed in the early 1950s. According to him, the small house at the southeast corner was built for his grandparents. The middle rear house was constructed next, and the 2 -story garage/apartment was constructed of material salvaged from the Roanoke depot. The National Register nomination for the Original Town Residential Historic District places the date of construction of all four buildings as 1935. This seems too early based on Mr. Jackson's recollections, deed and tax records, and Sanborn Maps. For purposes of the National Register nomination, the buildings at the southeast corner and immediately behind the main house are considered contributing resources to the Original Town Residential Historic District. The 2 -story garage/apartment and the 0AZCU\HL06-02. HLDF.doc main house are considered noncontributing to the district. A driveway transverses the property from near the west elevation of the house, then behind the house and around to the east side of the property. A high wood fence extends from the east elevation of the house toward the east leg of the driveway, then south parallel to the driveway, and then west behind the original house to the west property line. This fence the first floor of the 2 -story garage/apartment at the southwest corner of the property. A wood picket fence also encircles the front half of the property. 16. Historical Significance Statement of historical and cultural significance. Include: cultural influences, special events and important personages, influences on neighborhood, on the city, etc. The property located at 326 E. Texas was owned by D.D. and Ida Wall prior to being purchased by Charles E. Jackson. Drew Dread Wall (1874-1957) was an early Grapevine resident. Wall had a varied career. He was mayor of Grapevine in 1922, owned and operated the city water works, as well as a meat market and restaurant on Main Street, owned a feed store, and was engaged in the livestock business. Sanborn Maps from 1921 and 1935 indicate that there were no improvements on the property during those years. Tax records also suggest that the property remained undeveloped at least through the early 1940s. Charles Jackson purchased the property in 1947 for a sum of $1,250. He had the main house built that year and this is where his family resided. Other structures were soon added to the property. The first one constructed was the small house at the southeast corner, then the middle rear house, and then the 2 -story garage/apartment. Jackson and his wife, Edith, sold the property to Richard Clinton and Billie Delores Eakins in 1966. The Eakins sold the property to Harrell Stevens and Jerry M. Smith of Dallas in 1970. Stevens and Smith sold it to Tom Solomon, also of Dallas, in 1974. Solomon sold the property to Harley and Marilyn Lewis in 1978. The Lewises sold it in 1981 to David R. Bettinger and Gary Wayne Ball. The property was sold to Grapevine Properties, Inc. in 1985. In 2001, the property was purchased by the current owners. Extensive renovation of the house has been completed including creation of a second floor. The Jackson House is an excellent local example of a post -World War II vernacular interpretation of the Colonial Revival style. This style is revealed through the multiple light windows, the building's massing with the two gabled bays on the ends of the facade, and the original wood balustrade formerly located on the porch roof. The wide wood siding was a common building material used in the years following World War 11. In addition, the house at the southeast corner of the property illustrates the persistence of a late 19th - early 20th century folk form of housing into the mid 20th century. The property is also an excellent local example of the increasing urbanization of Grapevine in the mid 20th century. Although the lot was located in the Original Town, it remained undeveloped throughout most of the first half of the 20th century. Following the construction of the main house in 1947, other buildings were added to the property, first to accommodate the extended family, and then as rental property. Subsequent owners used the property strictly for investment purposes. The National Register nomination for the Original Town Residential Historic District categorizes the main house and the 2 -story garage/apartment at the southwest corner of the property as noncontributing to the district. For the main house, this was probably due to the presence of the nonoriginal siding and the replacement of the original columns with wrought iron supports. With the removal of the asphalt siding and the restoration of the porch columns and balustrade, the building is now considered as a contributing resource to the historic district. 0AZCU\H L06-02.

Texas Street c. 1947 The Jackson Nouse is a 1 -story Post World War II structure that is a vernacular interpretation of the Colonial Revival style.

A high wood fence extends from the east elevation of the house toward the east leg of the driveway, then south parallel to the driveway, and then west behind the original house to the west property line. This fence obscures all of the center rear house and the first floor of the 2 -story garage/apartment at the southwest corner of the property. A wood picket fence also encircles the front half of the property. 326 E. Texas Street c. 2006 Page 5 SITE Retain the historic relationships between buildings, landscaping features and open space. Avoid rearranging the site by moving or removing buildings and site features, such as walks, drives and fences, that help define the residence's historic value. Building setbacks should be consistent with adjacent buildings or with the style of the building. Setbacks are an important ingredient in creating an attractive streetscape. Buildings should be set back to a line that is consistent with their neighbors and land use. For example, a residential setback should retain the setback of adjacent and nearby structures, with landscaping along the street right-of-way. Residential buildings with a commercial use in residential areas should be set back in a manner consistent with setbacks of neighboring or similar residential structures. Maintain building orientation pattern, with the front facade facing the street. Maintain spacing patterns between buildings. Driveways should be located perpendicular to the street; no circular drives shall be allowed (unless proven with historic documentation) in front or corner side yard, so that the character of the landscaped yard can be reinforced. New parking lots for commercial uses should not be located adjacent to sidewalks in the district. Off-street parking lots should not be allowed to interrupt the continuity of landscaped front or corner side yards. This is important to both the preservation of historic character, and to the strengthening of the residential district. Screen existing parking lots from streets and pedestrian areas in the Historic District. Existing parking lots located adjacent to streets and sidewalks may be screened to the height of car hoods. This will provide a certain level of continuity of the building facade line; it will screen unsightly views; and it will provide a level of security by allowing views to and from the sidewalk. Historically, fences around historic houses defined yards and the boundary around property and gardens. Wood picket fences, wood rail fences and barbed wire or decorative wire fences were the common fence types in Grapevine. Traditionally, picket fences surrounded the front of the house while rail and wire fences surrounded the agricultural portions of the property. Maintain historic fences. New fences. Simple wood picket fences, wood and wire and wrought iron fences are appropriate. Avoid chain-link fences, privacy fences and concrete block fences for the street sides of property. Wood privacy fences may be allowed when installed in the rear yard and behind the front facade of a property. Utilitarian/privacy fences should not be installed in front of a historic building or beyond the line of the front facade of a historic building. Replacing fences. If replacement is required due to deterioration, remove only those portions of historic fences that are damaged beyond repair and replace in-kind, matching the original in material, design and placement. If replacement is necessary for non -historic fences, or new fences are proposed, locate and design the fence in such a way that will compliment the historic boundary of the property without concealing the historic character of the property. SERVICE AND MECHANICAL AREAS Service and mechanical areas and equipment should be screened from the street and other pedestrian areas. All garbage and equipment storage areas should be screened from the street. Mechanical equipment, including satellite dishes, shall not be located in front or corner side yards or should be set back from the edges of roofs, and screened so that they are not visible to pedestrians and do not detract from the historic character of buildings. PRESERVATION Preserve, stabilize, and restore original building form, ornament and materials. Any missing or severely deteriorated elements may be replaced with replicas of the original. Ensure that roof, window, porch and cornice treatments are preserved, or when preservation is not possible duplicate the original building element. When rehabilitating, remove non -historic alterations. Often, "modern" renovations conceal the original facade details. If not, the original style may be recreated through the use of historic photographs. Where replication of original elements is not possible, a new design consistent with the original style of the building may be used. Reconstruction of building elements should reflect the size, scale, material and level of detail of the original design. Preserve older renovations that have achieved historic significance. Older structures or additions may have, at some time, been renovated with such care and skill that the renovation itself is worthy of preservation. Usually, such renovations may date from before 1940. EXTERIOR FINISHES Original wood finishes should be maintained and painted or, when necessary, replaced in kind. Modern synthetic siding materials such as vinyl or metal bear little resemblance to historic siding materials. The application of such modern synthetic materials often involves the removal of original decorative elements such as cornice, corner boards, brackets, window and door trim, etc. New synthetic siding shall not be installed; removal of existing such materials is not required, but strongly encouraged, to restore historic patina, finish and appearance. Page 7 Original asbestos siding should be maintained and painted, or when necessary, replaced with synthetic siding to match the existing asbestos siding. The removal of asbestos siding over existing wood siding is not required, but strongly encouraged, to restore historic patina, finish and appearance. Original masonry surfaces should be maintained and not be painted, unless severe deterioration of the brick or stone can be shown to require painting. If the color or texture of replacement brick or stone cannot be matched with existing, painting may be an appropriate treatment. Paint colors should be complimentary to each other and the overall character of the house. When possible, research the original paint color and finishes of the building's historic period; the right colors respect the historic building. The Historic Preservation Commission shall adopt, as necessary, a paint palette(s) appropriate to the district's character, which may be proposed and approved through the Minor Exterior Alteration application process. Any colors proposed outside the adopted palette may be reviewed by the Commission in the regular Certificate of Appropriateness process. Original window framing and lites (panes of glass) configurations should be preserved and maintained or replaced in kind. When replacement is necessary, do so within existing historic opening. Replacement of non -original windows should consider the use of historically appropriate wood windows. Use same sash size to avoid filling in or enlarging the original opening. Clear or very slightly tinted window glass may be used. No reflective or heavily tinted glass shall be used. Should the owner wish to install security bars, they should be installed on the interior of windows and doors. Storm windows. The use of interior storm windows is encouraged. Storm windows are available which can be installed on the interior of windows. This helps to preserve the exterior historic character of the building. Should storm windows need to be installed on the exterior of the historic windows, storm windows constructed of wood and configured to match the historic sashes (i.e. one over one sashes) are recommended. If metal storm windows are installed, paint to blend with surrounding elements. ,,A. I it �. New awnings and canopies should not be installed above windows or doors. 4114 : Lighting is an important element in residential areas. Fixtures should be consistent with the Page 8 historic character of the house. Appropriate incandescent light fixtures to the style of the district should be used. Avoid exposed lighting of any kind unless part of a historic fixture. [ ►1 �'�`j �iT11 � 7T: tc�•�i7 ► Edi 1L•Ti �TCiP► l The Secretary of the Interior's guidelines for new buildings in historic districts encourage similarity of form and materials, but not actual replication. New construction proposals and the rehabilitation of non -historic buildings will be reviewed based on these Criteria. Judgement will be based on the compatibility of the design within the context of the property's adjacent and nearby historic buildings. The design of new buildings should have key elements of the building's historic period of significance including massing, scale, fenestration and materials. Infill buildings should not be absolute reproductions, and appear as clearly contemporary. Only when a previously demolished historic Grapevine building can be accurately replicated may a reproduction be considered. Infill buildings between historic buildings should be similar in setback, roof form, cornice line and materials, to one of the adjacent buildings. Relate height of new building to the heights of adjacent structures. Avoid new buildings that tower over existing ones. Horizontal wood siding (either novelty, tongue and groove, shiplap or equivalent) and brick are appropriate exterior building finishes for the historic house. Fake brick or stone or gravel aggregate materials shall never be used. Additions to historic buildings should replicate the style of the main building if possible; otherwise they should adhere to the general style with simplified details. As a minimum, new additions should reflect the massing, roof shape, bay spacing, cornice lines and building materials of the primary structure. All new wood or metal materials should have a painted finish except on some 20th century buildings where the use of unpainted aluminum or steel was part of the original design and should be maintained. A new addition should, if at all possible, be located at the rear of the historic building. If this is not possible, the addition may be added to the side if it is recessed at least 18 inches from the historic building facade or a connection is used to separate old from new. New vertical additions should be set back from primary facades so as not to be readily apparent from the facing street. When reproducing elements that were originally part of a historic building they should be replicated when evidence of the actual detail has been documented by photographs, drawings, or remaining physical evidence. If no evidence exists, elements typical of the architectural style may be used. Historic photographs can provide information on the original elements of the building. Page 9
