The Historic Preservation Commission, at their May 26, 2010 meeting, approved an application for Historic Landmark designation for the 64 properties of the original plat of the D. E. Box Addition. In June 2009 a study group was established by City Manager Bruno Rumbelow to look at the possibility of making the D. E. Box Addition, Grapevine's first subdivision, a Historic District. The 64 home community was developed in 1948 and its homes were built between 1948 and 1962. The addition, with the largest lots in the Township area (R -12.5 HL10 -09.4 1 October 12, 2011 (3:20PM) zoning with 12,500 sq. ft.) and convenient location, makes its properties attractive to developers as teardowns, with low cost lots for new residential construction. The study group included Bruno Rumbelow, Mike Lease, Shane Willbanks, Darlene Freed, PW McCallum, Ross Bannister and David Klempin. At the study group meeting, much discussion centered on Grapevine's 50 -year and older properties that are not protected through landmark designation. Many of these properties are located in the D. E. Box and Bellair Additions of Grapevine. The concept of a Conservation District ordinance for the D. E. Box Addition was presented by staff. The feeling of the study group was that the Conservation District approach would not guarantee the desired outcome of protection and design review of the existing properties in the Addition. The study group recommended that staff prepare a proposal for a full historic district for the D. E. Box Addition and a presentation to be made at a Council Workshop. At the Council Workshop, Ross Bannister made the presentation showing the historical significance of the D. E. Box Addition to Grapevine's history of development. The presentation pointed out that the addition was Grapevine's first Post World War II neighborhood. The D. E. Box Addition epitomized the new wave of Post War housing that moved beyond the old styles with innovations brought on by the new, more affluent Post War American society. Homes had wide, spacious lots and backyards, containing large specimen trees, beautiful gardens, children's play areas, and plenty of outdoor living space. Many of today's city and civic leaders, at one time or another, lived in the D. E. Box Addition. Each home was custom -built for the owner to serve their needs and reflect their aspirations. The presentation went on to show that Mr. D. E. Box was a visionary man with big dreams for his home town. He brought architect Walter Alschlager to Grapevine to design the First National Bank building of Grapevine in 1940. Mr. Ahlschlager also designed the Mercantile Bank Tower in downtown Dallas as well as the famous Roxy Theatre in New York City. Mr. Box later developed the D. E. Box Addition, and built his own home there. The Council was unified in its support of a historic district for the D. E. Box Addition and agreed that the Addition is significant and contributing to the history of development of Grapevine. The Council authorized Historic Preservation Staff to present the idea at community meetings for Box Addition property owners early in 2010. Community meetings were held on Tuesday, March 16 and 18, 2010 at 6:30 p.m. at the Historic Homemaking Cottage at Faith Christian School, 730 East Worth Street. Over 40 residents of the Box Addition attended the meetings and all except one person were in favor of the historic district proposal. The person said it would take a good bit of convincing before he would accept the proposal.

Guidelines Preservation Criteria GRAPEVINE D. E. BOX ADDITION HISTORIC DISTRICT Grapevine, Texas PREFACE The Grapevine D. E. Box Addition Historic District is significant for the continuum of architectural periods and styles represented there. The district reflects the post -war expansion period in Grapevine's developmental history, from 1940's minimal traditional to 1960's mid - century modern, ca. 1948 - 1962, and ranch -style homes. Primary building materials include wood, brick, and concrete. Roof pitches vary from 4 to 12 to 6 to 12 on the low- profile ranch house versions; building massing ranges from regular to asymmetrical; and porch conditions include everything from wide front porches to no porches at all. Allowing each existing property to authentically tell the story of its own period in time, while reinforcing the historical period of significance (c. 1948 - 1962) with infill construction, is the goal of the historic district designation. The preservation and conservation of original architectural features is preferred, rather than "modem izatio n" or "updating" of older properties, or imposing a false "historical look" on newer properties. The historic character of existing buildings and the district as a whole can best be preserved by the repair of original materials, rather than their replacement. Repair and restoration is often more cost effective than replacement, conserves energy, and reduces the amount of material added to landfills. New, infril construction in the district should reflect the character of the district during its historic period of significance (c. 1948 - 1962). Buildings constructed for residential use should have massing, roof shapes, porch configurations and materials that reflect the architectural styles of houses built In Grapevine during this historic period. The design of any new buildings shall have key elements of a primary historic style already existing in the district, and shall be clearly compatible with and complimentary to its neighbors, but may not be a reproduction. Only when a previously demolished Grapevine building can be accurately replicated may a reproduction be considered. Infill construction shall be similar in front and side yard setback to nearby historic, contributing buildings, in order to retain and reinforce the consistent setbacks that characterize the historic district. The authenticity of Grapevine's D. E. Box Addition Historic District and its buildings helps set the community apart from our neighbors. Grapevine's unique quality of life will be protected with thoughtful rehabilitation and restoration of our historic resources and carefully designed and placed compatible new construction. These preservation criteria for the Grapevine D. E. Box Addition Historic District will assist property owners in malting cost - effective choices when planning an exterior rehabilitation or renovation or infill project. 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, which help define the district's historic value. SETBACKS Building setbacks shall be consistent with adjacent buildings, or with the style of the building. Setbacks are an important ingredient in creating an attractive streetscape. Buildings shall be setback to a line that is consistent with their neighbor's setback and land use. For example, residential buildings along the streets shall retain the line of setback of adjacent and nearby structures, with landscaping along the street right -of- way. Maintain building orientation patterns, with front facades facing the street. Maintain spacing patterns between buildings. DRIVEWAYS, PARKING AREAS AND VACANT SITES Driveways shall be located perpendicular to the street in the residential district; no circular drives shall be allowed in front or comer side yards so that the character of landscaped yards can be reinforced. New parking areas shall not be located adjacent to sidewalks in the Grapevine D. E. Box historic district. Off- street parking shall not be allowed to interrupt the continuity of landscaped front or corner side yards in the district. This is important to both the preservation of historic character and to the strengthening of the district. All vacant sites should be cleared of debris and buffered from the street. Infill construction shall be encouraged. SERVICE AND MECHANICAL AREAS Service and mechanical areas shall be screened from the street and other pedestrian areas. All garbage and equipment storage areas shall be screened from the street. Screen mechanical equipment from public view. Mechanical equipment, including satellite dishes, shall not be located in front or corner side yards and shall 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 the homes. Window air - conditioning units may not be permitted at locations visible from streets. 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, and cornice treatments are preserved or when preservation is not possible duplicate the original building. When rehabilitating, remove non - historic alterations. Often "modem" 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 shall reflect the size, scale, material and level of detail of the original design. Preserve older renovations that have achieved historic significance. This is consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. Older structures 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. FINISHES Original wood finishes shall be maintained and painted or when necessary replaced in kind. Modern synthetic siding materials such as vinyl, metal or asbestos tile bear little resemblance to historic siding materials. The application of such materials often involves the removal of original decorative elements such as cornice, corner boards, brackets, window and door trim, etc. Synthetic siding shall not be installed; removal of existing such materials is strongly encouraged to restore historic patina, finish and appearance. Original masonry surfaces shall be maintained and may not be painted unless severe deterioration of the brick or stone can be shown to require painting. If color or texture of replacement brick cannot be matched with the existing material, then painting may be an appropriate treatment and must be approved by the Historic Preservation Commission. Paint colors shall be complementary to each other and the overall character of the building and district. When possible, research the original paint color and finishes of the building's historic period. The Historic Preservation Commission appropriate to the district character, whic h Minor Exterior Alteration application proc palette may be reviewed by the Appropriateness process. STREETFRONT shall adopt, as necessary, a paint palette may be proposed and approved through the ess. Any colors proposed outside the adopted Commission in the regular Certificate of Maintain height and rhythm of buildings along the street face. New buildings and additions shall respect both the height and bay spacing of adjacent buildings. They shall also ensure proportion and continuity of the texture of facade treatments, cornice lines, window lintels, and sills. Flat roofs shall be hidden from view. WINDOWS Original window framing and light (panes of glass) configurations shall be preserved and maintained or replaced in kind. When replacement is necessary, do so within existing historic opening. Use same sash size to avoid filling in or enlarging the original opening. If metal storm windows are installed, paint them to blend with surrounding elements. No reflective or heavily tinted glass shall be used. Security bars shall be installed on the interior of windows and doors. EMBELLISHMENTS AWNINGS - CANOPIES Awnings may be a "drop- front" style. The modem bubble design, often used on commercial buildings, detracts from historic architectural styles. All awnings or canopies shall provide at least 8 feet of clearance above grade. Awnings shall be made of canvas or metal material. LIGHTING Fully recessed down lights, shielded bullet -style spot lights, wall sconce lights, post lights or other incandescent fixtures appropriate to the style and period of the district may be used. Avoid the use of un- shielded lighting of any kind. Mercury vapor arc lights shall not be mounted in the front or side yards of homes and reflectors must be shielded from view of neighboring homes. NEW BUILDING CONSTRUCTION New construction proposals and the rehabilitation of non - historic buildings will be reviewed based on these Criteria. Judgment 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 may have key elements of an existing or previous building of the historic period (c. 1948 - 1962), including massing, scale, fenestration, and materials. Only when a previously demolished historic Grapevine building can be accurately replicated may a reproduction be considered. The Federal Secretary of the Interior's guidelines for new buildings in historic districts encourage similarity of form and materials, but not actual replication. infill buildings between contributing buildings shall 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 (novelty, tongue and groove, shiplap or equivalent); brick; stone or stucco are appropriate exterior building finishes in the historic district. Fake brick or stone or gravel aggregate materials shall never be used. ADDITIONS TO CONTRIBUTING BUILDINGS Additions to historic buildings shall replicate the style of the main building if possible, otherwise they shall adhere to the general style and details. As a minimum, new additions shall reflect the massing, roof shape, bay spacing, cornice lines and building materials of the primary structure. All new wood or metal materials shall have a painted finish except where the use of unpainted aluminum or steel was part of the original design and shall 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. Vertical additions to historic buildings shall not appear from public rights-of-way to alter the original building height. When replacing elements that were originally part of a historic building, they shall 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. MAINTENANCE REPAIRING HISTORIC MATERIALS The use of inappropriate treatments in repair and renovation can seriously damage historic structures. These guidelines present general directions for action. However, individuals using this document may consult technical resources and references available through the Grapevine Historic Preservation Commission for detailed information on renovation methods and materials. Use approved technical procedures for cleaning, refinishing and repairing. The Secretary of the Interior sets out guidelines for repair of historic buildings. Clean historic brick walls carefully. Do not use abrasive cleaning methods such as sand blasting and high pressure water as they can remove the hard protective surface of old soft brick, shorten the life expectancy of wood, and cause accelerated erosion. Some chemical cleaners which are designed to remove paint from masonry surfaces may be used if caution is exercised. Acidic cleaners even in diluted form shall not be used on marble, limestone, glazed brick, terra cotta, or glass as they will cause these materials to dissolve. Alkaline paint removers (ammonia plus potassium hydroxide or trisodium phosphate) are usually safe for acid - sensitive masonry. Organic solvent paint removers (methylene chloride, methanol, acetone, xylene and toluene) may be safe for unglazed brick and terra cotta and harder stones - sandstone, granite, and slate. No paint removal system is entirely safe for historic masonry. All chemicals shall be tested before applying to the entire surface. Manufacturer's directions shall be followed carefully. Avoid painting brick or stone when not a historic treatment. Painting historic masonry walls has the effect of destroying them for refurbishing to their original condition because they frequently cannot withstand stripping treatments. If sealing them is the issue, then clear sealers may provide a better alternative but only on materials that have been damaged by sandblasting. Repaint masonry where mortar has eroded. A well maintained masonry wall is important to preventing air and moisture intrusion. Old mortar shall be removed to a depth of approximately one inch or to sound mortar to ensure an adequate bond between old and new mortar. Great care shall be taken not to damage edges of brick during mortar removal. New mortar shall match the historic mortar in strength, color, joint width, and tooling. A mortar mix that is too high in Portland cement can cause extreme damage to historic/soft brick or stone. The mortar should contain no more than 20 percent of white Portland cement per the total dry volume. Mortar color may be matched to a non - weathered sample of historic mortar raked from mortar joints. Small amounts shall be mixed and allowed to dry on a board before comparison with historic samples. Joints shall not be overfilled. Joint width shall not be increased during re- pointing. They shall be tooled to match the historic joints in profile. Joints shall nearly always be recessed. Mortar shall never be "feathered" out over the brick face. ELEMENTS NEEDING REGULAR MAINTENANCE Roofs -- Repair leaks in roofs to prevent wall and interior damage. Maintaining a good sealed roof is the most important measure for minimizing weather damage to buildings which can be very expensive to repair. Roofs - -Clean and repair downspouts. Poorly maintained downspouts can cause water to damage fascia and walls. Windows and Doors - -Keep windows and doors clean. Clean windows and doors have a tremendous positive impact on building appearance. Dirty windows and doors detract from the attractiveness of a district. Keep window and door trim scraped, caulked and painted to avoid rot. Moisture quickly deteriorates wood which is not protected by paint. ENERGY CONSERVATION/WINDOWS Ensure windows and doors are well caulked and weather sealed to avoid air infiltration. Storm windows are available which can be installed on the interior of windows. This helps to preserve the exterior historic character of the building. i �d,,A a ii� IGry ORDINANCE NO.
