The applicant is requesting a Historic Landmark Subdistrict designation for property located
at 303 South Dooley Street Lot 1 B, Block 106, College Heights Addition.
The Historic Preservation Commission, at their May 27, 2015 meeting, adopted the
preservation criteria for the subject property and approved CA1 5-41 to allow the applicant
to demolish the existing house and construct a new structure along with a detached
garage.
This house was built in 1965. This 1,238 sq. ft. one-story minimal traditional style house is
situated on a corner lot in the College Heights Addition of the City of Grapevine. Rather
than facing East Texas Street as most of the homes of College Heights Addition, the house
fronts on South Dooley Street.
HL15-03.4 1 October 12, 2015 (8:35AM)
The house is rectangular in plan. It features brick veneer exterior of white, grey, black and
pink brick placed in a speckled pattern. The roof has a 4 to 12 pitch, with front facing
projecting gables at either end of the house. Roofing shingles are white asphalt three tab
shingles. White painted plywood siding with batten strips is used to clad the inside of the
gable walls and to enclose the overhanging roof eaves. A projecting porch roof overhang
provides protection from the elements and extends over the sidewalk from the double -car
attached garage to the left of the house to the main entrance door. Windows are
aluminum, horizontal sliders placed high in the walls. The front entrance features a wood
veneer slab -style door with an overlay of a white painted metal storm door unit. The garage
features original tilt -up wood garage doors.
The front elevation is decorated with unique out -rigger wooden brackets of a reverse scroll
pattern, which support the eaves of the front roof gables. Front fascia boards of the gables
as well as the two garage doors are painted fire engine red as an accent. The house opens
to the rear yard through an aluminum sliding glass door, a popular feature of homes of the
1960s. The rear yard is fenced with a traditional four foot high aluminum chain link fence.
This property is located in the College Heights Addition that is listed on the National
Register of Historic Places. It is included in the Original Grapevine Township boundary.
This area encompasses some of the most concentrated and intact collections of late
nineteenth and early twentieth century houses in the city of Grapevine. The surrounding
contributing sites with structures erected between ca. 1889 and ca. 1950, represent the
efforts of many of Grapevine's leading merchants and professionals, as well as farmers
and wage earners during the period of significance. This area provides some of the city's
best examples of buildings associated with people and events that made significant
contributions to the history of Grapevine.
William E. (Bill) and Elsie Watkins purchased this lot in the 1960s. They hired the Steward
Brothers, who were developing homes in the new Sunshine Harbor Addition, circ. 1963-
1967, to construct this house. The house is built in the same style with a plan that is
identical to some of the homes built in Sunshine Harbor Addition. According to Kevin Aslin,
a longtime resident of Sunshine Harbor Addition, every third house in that neighborhood
has the same identical floor plan. According to Ted Ware, Sunshine Harbor was known as
an affordable addition which the Steward Brothers built to a price point. It was a popular
neighborhood then and still is today, with some owners living there more than 50 years.
PRESENT ZONING AND USE:
The property is currently zoned "R-7.5" Single Family Residential and is currently used as a
residential structure.
HISTORY OF TRACT AND SURROUNDING AREA:
The subject property and the surrounding properties to the north, south, east, and west

The house opens to the rear yard through an aluminum sliding glass door, a popular

aluminum chain link fence.
This property is located in the College Heights Addition that is listed on the National
Register of Historic Places. It is included in the Original Grapevine Township boundary.
This area encompasses some of the most concentrated and intact collections of late

William E. (Bill) and Elsie Watkins purchased this lot in the 1960s. They hired the Steward
Brothers, who were developing homes in the new Sunshine Harbor Addition, circ. 1963-
1967, to construct this house. The house is built in the same style with a plan that is
identical to some of the homes built in Sunshine Harbor Addition. According to Kevin Aslin,

neighborhood then and still is today, with some owners living there more than 50 years.
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.
Page 4
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 fagade 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
Page 5
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.
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
Page 6
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.
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 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.
New awnings and canopies should not be installed above windows or doors.
Lighting is an important element in residential areas. Fixtures should be consistent with the
historic character of the house.
Appropriate incandescent light fixtures to the style of the district should be used.
Page 7
Avoid exposed lighting of any kind unless part of a historic fixture.
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.
F-11 111011• • •-
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 201h 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,
Page 8
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.
