The exterior of the building features plate glass windows in a wood framed historic storefront, allowing high visibility into the interior of the building along Main Street. A projecting flat awning above the storefront would temper sunlight. Retractable glass folding doors located on the north and south sides of the building could be opened during good weather and for expanded use of the building during festivals. The building would feature board and batten siding to match that of the Founders Building and would be painted to match its paint color scheme. Inside, the building is one large open space. The applicant Chris Laugenour the Managing Director of Operations of the Grapevine Convention and Visitors Bureau spoke about the project and the different uses of the building. Telford spoke about the esthetics and the safety of the area between the buildings and would recommend a new design to make it a more of a purposeful design to blend with the other buildings around it.

Staff review of the Secretary of Interior Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Structures Ten Criteria (attached) with regard to the property found the proposed work to be in compliance with the Secretary of Interior Standards.

Due to the small encroachment of the roof ridge into the side yard setback plane as shown on the Exhibit A and considering the narrow width of the second floor gable ends of the second floor, the Executive Director of the Grapevine Convention & Visitors Bureau, the Historic Preservation Officer and Building Official recommend for a variance to be granted for the encroachment. The property lot size is 12,620 square feet. The 1,108 square foot detached garage with workshop would be located at the rear of the lot and would require a variance to combine the 500 square foot garage, 200 square foot storage building allowed by the Preservation Ordinance and 408 square feet of the house living area.

This property is not Landmarked and would require a variance from the Historic Preservation Commission. It has been approved by the CVB Executive Director, the Building Official and the Historic Preservation Officer. Mr. Klempin explained that the owners were ready to build their home and were informed by the Building Official that the property is in the Historic Township District. He also said that we are currently working with Architexas to update our Preservation Ordnance to allow more buildings of this type to allow the ridge line to be parallel to the street. Currently we have many long linear roof lines that are `perpendicular' to the street. This homes roof ridge parallel to the street is more appropriate to the original township. Wendy Alise said when they first built at 606 Austin Street in 1999 they had plans to build their retirement home on the empty lot. They were never told that their property was located in the Historic Township Boundary. They believe their house design fits into the community and will enhance the neighborhood.
