NO. 2005-13 Page 8 of 11 Preface This property is located at the southwest corner of West Dallas Road and South Main Street in �;,:� Grapevine. It is adjacent to the Cotton Belt Railroad Commercial Historic District and the entrance to the Main Street Grapevine Commercial Historic District. The area includes the original Cotton Belt trackway, a bridge structure (1928), the Section House (1888), railroad depot (1901) the Farmers &Merchants Milling CompanyB&D Mill Complex and other various industrial buildings. The commercial buildings that were constructed along Grapevine's Main Street were predominantly examples of vernacular commercial architecture which date from the last quarter of the nineteenth century through the second quarter of the twenties century. Constructed of masoruy, they are one, one-and-one-half or two stories in height and are typically three bays in width. Most of the buildings are simply detailed with brick cornices that include signage bands that are framed by brick piers. Most of the storefronts originally had transoms. The scale, detailing and composition of the contributing buildings on Main Street provide a streetscape that is representative of the periods in which they were constructed. In the 1950's the west portion of the properiy was occupied by a one story galvanized metal building. Realignment of Main Street in the 1970's resulted in the moving of Main Street to the east. This area is now part of the site and is covered by an easement. A row of large trees along the east side of the property marks the old street location. To the south is a professional office building built of reddish color antique brick. Development of the site shall follow the Design Guidelines established for the property. The guidelines were established to encourage appropriate site development that will reflect the period of significance for the Main Street Grapevine Commercial Historic District of 1870 — 1930 and incorporates elements of the Grapevine's DesiQn Guidelines for Historic Commercial and Residential Buildin�s. The authenticity of Grapevine's Main Street and its buildings sets the community apart from its neighbors. These preservation criteria will help guide the planning of appropriate additions to the property in this historic area of Grapevine. Page 3 EXHIBIT "A" TO ORD. NO. 2005-13 Page 9 of 11 SITE Retain the historic relationships between buildings, landscaping features and open space. Avoid rearranging the site by moving or removing site features, such as walks, drives, fences and trees, that help define the ��"'� ro e s historic value. p P �Y, 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, commercial bui�dings shall be near to the sidewalk. It is important to provide a continuous retail edge along the street to created an attractive environment for pedestrians and reinforce retail sales. 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. 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. 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 fa�ade line; it will screen unsightly views; and it will provide a level of security by allowing views to and from the sidewalk. FENCES Wood picket fences,wood rail fences and decorative wire fences were the common fence types in Grapevine. 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 fa�ade of a property. 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. ��._:: Page 4 EXHIBIT "A" TO ORD. NO. 2005-13 Page 10 of 11 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 EXTERIOR FINISHES Modern synthetic siding materials such as vinyl or metal bear little resemblance to historic siding materials. New synthetic siding shall not be installed. Paint colors should be complimentary to each other and the overall character of the surrounding buildings. When possible, research the original paint color and finishes of the surrounding building's historic period; the right colors respect the historic building. The Historic Preservation Commission shall adopt, as necessary, an appropriate paint palette(s)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 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 character of the building. Should storm windows need to be installed on the exterior of the windows, storm windows constructed of wood and configured to match the historic sashes (i.e. one over one sashes)are recommended. If inetal storm windows are installed, paint to blend with surrounding elements. EMBELLISHMENTS AWNINGS-CANOPIES New awnings and canopies should be designed in accordance with the Design Guidelines for Historic Commercial and Residential Property. EXTERIOR LIGHTING Lighting is an important element in commercial areas. Fixtures should be consistent with the historic character of the Main Street buildings. 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. Page 5 EXHIBIT "A" TO ORD. NO. 2005-13 Page 11 of 11 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 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. Page 6
