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

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.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
GRAPEVINE, TEXAS:
Section 1. That the City does hereby designate a historic landmark subdistrict

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: 424 and 428 Ball Street
and legally described as Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Bannister Addition, and in addition thereto,
the adoption of the Design Guidelines as conditions, regulations and safeguards in
ORD. NO. 2007-12 2
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.
Section 6. That the terms and provisions of this ordinance shall be deemed to be
severable and that if the validity of the zoning affecting any portion of the tract or tracts of
land described herein shall be declared to be invalid, the same shall not affect the validity
of the zoning of the balance of the tract or tracts of land described herein.
Section 7. Any person violating any of the provisions of this ordinance shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be fined in a sum not
to exceed two thousand dollars ($2,000.00) and a separate offense shall be deemed
committed upon each day during or on which a violation occurs or continues.
Section 8. The fact that the present ordinances and regulations of the City of
Grapevine, Texas, are inadequate to properly safeguard the health, safety, morals, peace
and general welfare of the inhabitants of the City of Grapevine, Texas, creates an
emergency for the immediate preservation of the public business, property, health, safety
and general welfare of the public which requires that this ordinance shall become effective
from and after the date of its final passage, and it is accordingly so ordained.

This property is not currently in a local historic district,nor is it a local historic landmark. However, because the prop-
erty is located adjacent to the Grapevine Township Revitalization Project area,staff is recommending approval of a his-
toric overlay which will then give the Commission oversight of new construction (new,remodel,and additions) through
the regular Certificate of Appropriateness process.
Historical Significance
Statement of historical and cultural significance. Include: cultural influences,special events and important personages,influences on

The property is located in the Ambrose Foster Survey of the City of Grapevine. The vacant tract was once a part of
The Yancy Farm. The Yancy's were the descendents of Thomas J.Nash who was an early pioneer farming family in
Grapevine. The historic Nash Farmstead of 1859 lies to the south at 626 Ball Street and is undergoing restoration as an
agricultural history museum of the Grapevine Prairie.

The property contains a house that was built by Vivian and Myrtle Yancey, descendents of Thomas J. Nash in the
1930's.The property is located in the historic Ambrose Foster Survey. It is designed in the minimal traditional style that
was popular across the United States in the period 1939 through the late 1940's. It features and inset porch,asymmetri-
cal arrangement of windows and a asphalt shingle roof. One over one windows are used across the front and the ends
of the house. Original wood siding covers the exterior of the house.
This property is not currently in a local historic district,nor is it a local historic landmark. However,because the prop-
erty is located in the Grapevine Township Revitalization Project area, staff is recommending approval of the historic
overlay which will then give the commission oversight of all demolition and construction (new, remodel, and additions)
through the regular Certificate of Appropriateness process.
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 is located in the Ambrose Foster Survey of the City of Grapevine. The site was once a part of
The Yancy Farm. The Yancy's were the descendents of Thomas J.Nash's who were an early pioneer farming family
in Grapevine. The historic Nash Farmstead of 1859 lies to the south at 626 Ball Street and is undergoing restoration
as an agricultural history museum of the Grapevine Prairie.

Preface
The 424 Ball Street Historic, Lot 1, Landmark Subdistrict is established to retain the historic integrity and
cultural history of this important portion of Ball Street. The property is located in the historic Ambrose
Foster Survey. The site was once a part of the Yancey Farm that adjoined the historic Thomas J. Nash
Farm of 1859.
Period of Significance
The period of significance for district is 1882-1956, the years documented with the county as being the
construction dates for property within the historic Township. Allowing a property to authentically tell the
story of its own period and time, while reinforcing the historical period of significance with necessary
preservation, rehabilitation and restoration, is the goal of the historic landmark designation. The preser-
vation of original architectural features, especially windows, doors, porch and siding, is preferred, rather
than "modernization" or "updating" of older features, or imposing a false "historical look" on newer fea-
tures.
The repair of original materials, rather than their replacement can best preserve the historic character of
the property. If non-original materials are replaced, then care should be taken to install original (in-kind)
materials. Repair and restoration is often more cost effective than replacement, conserves energy and
reduces the amount of trash added to landfills.
New construction (additions or rehabilitation)to an existing home should reflect the character of the home
during its period of significance. Massing, roof shapes, porch configurations and materials that reflect the
architectural character of the home during its historic period should be preserved. The design of any new
architectural features shall have key elements of the primary historic style already existing in the home
and shall be clearly compatible with and complementary to its adjacent features.
Any exterior modifications to buildings and properties within the Historic Landmark Subdistrict are required to con-
form to the City of Grapevine's preservation ordinances governing these buildings and properties and with the Secretary
of the Interior's Standards for the Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings. The Historic Preservation Commission hand-
book `Design Guidelines for Historic Commercial and Residential Properties"(adopted November 2003), explains
the preservation ordinances and design criteria that has been adopted by the City of Grapevine. The handbook's
guidelines should be used by those planning new construction or additions to historic properties in the 420 East Wall
Street Historic Landmark Subdistrict.
SITE
Retain the historic relationships between buildings, landscaping features and open space. Avoid rear-
ranging the site by moving or removing buildings and site features, such as walks, drives and fences, that
help define the residence's historic value.
SETBACKS
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 shall be set back in a manner consistent
with setbacks of adjacent or neighboring residential structures.
Maintain building orientation pattern, with the front facade facing the street. Maintain spacing patterns
between buildings.
EXHIBIT "A" TO ORD. 2007-12
Page 15 of 26
DRIVEWAYS, PARKING LOTS AND VACANT SITES
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 preserving of the historic character, and to the strengthening of the
residential district.
Screen existing parking lots from streets and pedestrian areas in the Historic Landmark Subdistrict. Existing parking
lots located adjacent to streets and sidewalks should be screened to the height of car hoods.This will provide a cer-
tain 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.
FENCES
Historically, fences around 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 façade of a property. Utilitar-
ian/privacy fences should not be installed in front of a historic building or beyond the line of the front fa-
çade 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 con-
cealing 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.
BUILDING FABRIC
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.
EXHIBIT "A" TO ORD. 2007-12
Page 16 of 26
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 origi-
nal 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 preser-
vation. 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.
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 can-
not be matched with existing, painting may be an appropriate treatment.
Paint colors should be complementary to each other and the overall character of the house. When possi-
ble, 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 applica-
tion process. Any colors proposed outside the adopted palette may be reviewed by the Commission in
the regular Certificate of Appropriateness process.
WINDOWS
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 win-
dows 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 re-
flective or heavily tinted glass may 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.
EXHIBIT "A" TO ORD. 2007-12
Page 17 of 26
Should storm windows need to be installed on the exterior of the historic windows, storm windows con-
structed of wood and configured to match the historic sashes (i.e. one over one sashes) are recom-
mended.
If metal storm windows are installed, paint to blend with surrounding elements.
EMBELLISHMENTS
AWNINGS-CANOPIES
New awnings and canopies should not be installed above windows or doors.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Lighting is an important element in residential areas. Fixtures should be consistent with the historic char-
acter 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.
NEW BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
INFILL
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 in-
cluding massing, scale, fenestration and materials.
Infill buildings should not be absolute reproductions. Only when a previously demolished historic Grape-
vine 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 materi-
als, 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 appropri-
ate exterior building finishes for the historic house. Fake brick or stone or gravel aggregate materials
shall never be used.
ADDITIONS TO HISTORIC BUILDINGS
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.
EXHIBIT "A" TO ORD. 2007-12
Page 18 of 26
A new addition should, if at all possible, be located at the rear of the historic building. If this is not possi-
ble, the addition may be added to the side if it is recessed at least 18 inches from the historic building fa-
cade 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 evi-
dence. If no evidence exists, elements typical of the architectural style may be used. Historic photo-
graphs can provide information on the original elements of the building.
EXISTING NON-CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURES
An application for a Certificate of Appropriateness will be required for changes to existing non-contributing structures
within the District. Non-contributing structures are those which do not represent the period of significance of the 420
East Wall Street Historic Landmark Subdistrict. The period of significance for the District is 1882-1956. The
City of Grapevine Historic Preservation Staff may approve minor alterations to non-contributing structures. Major
alterations, demolition or replacement of structures shall undergo the review process of the Grapevine Historic Preser-
vation Commission. Replacement buildings shall follow the criteria of the City of Grapevine's `Design Guidelines for
Historic Commercial and Residential Properties"and reflect the period significance of 1882-1956.

Preface
The 428 Ball Street, Lot 2, Historic Landmark Subdistrict is established to retain the historic integrity and
cultural history of this important portion of Ball Street. The property contains a house that was built by
Vivian and Myrtle Yancey, descendents of Thomas J. Nash inr the 1930's. The property is located in the
historic Ambrose Foster Survey. It is designed in the minimal traditional style that was popular across the
United States in the period 1939 through the late 1940's. It features and inset porch, asymmetrical ar-
rangement of windows and a asphalt shingle roof. One over one windows are used across the front and
the ends of the house. Original wood siding covers the exterior of the house.
This property is not currently in a local historic district, nor is it a local historic landmark. However, be-
cause the property is located in the Grapevine Township Revitalization Project area, staff is recommend-
ing approval of the historic overlay which will then give the commission oversight of all demolition and
construction (new, remodel, and additions)through the regular Certificate of Appropriateness process.

Period of Significance
The period of significance for the district is 1882-1956, the years documented with the county as being
the construction dates for property within the historic Township. Allowing a property to authentically tell
the story of its own period and time, while reinforcing the historical period of significance with necessary
preservation, rehabilitation and restoration, is the goal of the historic landmark designation. The preser-
vation of original architectural features, especially windows, doors, porch and siding, is preferred, rather
than "modernization" or "updating" of older features, or imposing a false "historical look" on newer fea-
tures.
The repair of original materials, rather than their replacement can best preserve the historic character of
the property. If non-original materials are replaced, then care should be taken to install original (in-kind)
materials. Repair and restoration is often more cost effective than replacement, conserves energy and
reduces the amount of trash added to landfills.
New construction (additions or rehabilitation)to an existing home should reflect the character of the home
during its period of significance. Massing, roof shapes, porch configurations and materials that reflect the
architectural character of the home during its historic period should be preserved. The design of any new
architectural features shall have key elements of the primary historic style already existing in the home
and shall be clearly compatible with and complementary to its adjacent features.
Any exterior modifications to buildings and properties within the Historic Landmark Subdistrict are required to con-
form to the City of Grapevine's preservation ordinances governing these buildings and properties and with the Secretary
of the Interior's Standards for the Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings. The Historic Preservation Commission hand-
book `Design Guidelines for Historic Commercial and Residential Properties"(adopted November 2003), explains
the preservation ordinances and design criteria that has been adopted by the City of Grapevine. The handbook's
guidelines should be used by those planning new construction or additions to historic properties in the 420 East Wall
Street Historic Landmark Subdistrict.
SITE
Retain the historic relationships between buildings, landscaping features and open space. Avoid rear-
ranging the site by moving or removing buildings and site features, such as walks, drives and fences, that
help define the residence's historic value.
SETBACKS
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 shall be set back in a manner consistent
with setbacks of adjacent or neighboring residential structures.
Maintain building orientation pattern, with the front facade facing the street. Maintain spacing patterns
between buildings.
DRIVEWAYS, PARKING LOTS AND VACANT SITES
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.
EXHIBIT "A" TO ORD. 2007-12
Page 23 of 26
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 preserving of the historic character, and to the strengthening of the
residential district.
Screen existing parking lots from streets and pedestrian areas in the Historic Landmark Subdistrict.
Existing parking lots located adjacent to streets and sidewalks should be screened to the height of car
hoods. This will provide a certain level of continuity of the building façade line; it will screen unsightly
views; and it will provide a level of security by allowing views to and from the sidewalk.
FENCES
Historically, fences around 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 façade of a property. Utilitar-
ian/privacy fences should not be installed in front of a historic building or beyond the line of the front fa-
çade 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 con-
cealing 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.
BUILDING FABRIC
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.
EXHIBIT "A" TO ORD. 2007-12

Reconstruction of building elements should reflect the size, scale, material and level of detail of the origi-
nal 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 preser-
vation. 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.
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 can-
not be matched with existing, painting may be an appropriate treatment.
Paint colors should be complementary to each other and the overall character of the house. When possi-
ble, 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 applica-
tion process. Any colors proposed outside the adopted palette may be reviewed by the Commission in
the regular Certificate of Appropriateness process.
WINDOWS
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 win-
dows 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 re-
flective or heavily tinted glass may 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 con-
structed of wood and configured to match the historic sashes (i.e. one over one sashes) are recom-
mended.
If metal storm windows are installed, paint to blend with surrounding elements.

EMBELLISHMENTS
AWNINGS-CANOPIES
New awnings and canopies should not be installed above windows or doors.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Lighting is an important element in residential areas. Fixtures should be consistent with the historic char-
acter 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.
NEW BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
INFILL
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 in-
cluding massing, scale, fenestration and materials.
Infill buildings should not be absolute reproductions. Only when a previously demolished historic Grape-
vine 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 materi-
als, 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 appropri-
ate exterior building finishes for the historic house. Fake brick or stone or gravel aggregate materials
shall never be used.
ADDITIONS TO HISTORIC BUILDINGS
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 possi-
ble, the addition may be added to the side if it is recessed at least 18 inches from the historic building fa-
cade 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.
EXHIBIT "A" TO ORD. 2007-12

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 evi-
dence. If no evidence exists, elements typical of the architectural style may be used. Historic photo-
graphs can provide information on the original elements of the building.
EXISTING NON-CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURES
An application for a Certificate of Appropriateness will be required for changes to existing non-contributing structures
within the District. Non-contributing structures are those which do not represent the period of significance of the 420
East Wall Street Historic Landmark Subdistrict. The period of significance for the District is 1882-1956. The
City of Grapevine Historic Preservation Staff may approve minor alterations to non-contributing structures. Major
alterations, demolition or replacement of structures shall undergo the review process of the Grapevine Historic Preser-
vation Commission. Replacement buildings shall follow the criteria of the City of Grapevine's `Design Guidelines for
Historic Commercial and Residential Properties"and reflect the period significance of 1882-1956.
