Chairman Shope called on David Klempin to present the case.
BACKGROUND:
Certificate of Appropriateness application #CA21-49 was submitted on August 9, 2021
by the applicant, John Martinez for installation of vinyl windows and removal of non -
original aluminum windows. The original house was constructed in 1950 for the L. C.
Highnote family. The house was purchased by Kent Clothier in 2015 and renovated and
exterior restored in 2016 following the Design Guidelines for the D. E. Box Addition
Historic District. It was recently purchased by John Martinez and Deborah Horn to serve
as their family home.
The existing aluminum windows of the house were removed and vinyl windows were
installed without obtaining the required permit from the City of Grapevine Building
Department and a Certificate of Appropriateness approval from the Historic
Preservation Commission.
Staff review of the Secretary of Interior Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic
Structures Ten Criteria (attached) with regard to this property, found the installation of
vinyl windows not to be in compliance with the Secretary of Interior Standards.
At the September meeting of the Grapevine Historic Preservation Commission, the
Commission voted to deny the #CA21-49 request to allow the un-approved installation
of vinyl windows to remain.
Following the meeting, the owners worked with Historic Preservation Staff to investigate
the options for replacing the vinyl windows in the landmarked house. On November 16,
2021 the owners submitted #CA21-69 to remediate the discrepancy with the Secretary
of Interior Standards. The owners propose to replace the un-approved vinyl windows
with new Pella double -hung metal -clad wood windows in one -over -one configuration.
