features a front gabled roof with a lower, projecting front gabled porch and overhanging
eaves with exposed rafter tails. A gable end brick chimney is on the west elevation.
The front porch would be restored with wood decking and wood siding would be used
on the addition to match the existing siding. The proposed plans would utilize the
original house as a living room, dining room, kitchen and den with bar.
On the first floor the new addition would contain a central hallway, a butler's pantry,
powder room, primary bedroom with attached bathroom and primary closet. A side
entrance from the driveway would allow convenient access to the kitchen. There is also
a laundry room and mudroom and a new walkway with trellis leading to the 2-car
garage. A re -purposed garage storage area would become a "hangout space" with
bathroom and a new exterior patio with trellis would be added.
From the central hallway a stairway with windows above would lead to the second -floor

The applicant John Allendar a Principal Architect with Architexas came forward to speak.
He said the goal is to respect the original footprint of the home and the massing ideas of
the airplane bungalow craftsman style. This is a unique house with a gable front porch.
They plan to replicate the existing 117 novelty siding on the house and continue with the
open rafter tail details. Link of the garage to the house is the new trellis to be attached to
the garage will match the trellis on front of the house. The original garage will remain and
they are proposing a modification to add a bathroom and changing the hung window to
an overhead door to provide an indoor -outdoor experience for the patio. There would be
a modification to the windows over the kitchen counter and another in the living room.
The plans for the front windows are to replicate the divided light pattern with 3 or 2 over
1 windows as shown in the historic photo of the house the rest of the windows will be 1
over 1.

table in the Blackland Prairie area. Mr. Allendar said he is aware of the soil in Grapevine
and the water table issues in the area and has an engineering group Geotech to help with
the water table issues. It's challenging but they have done it successfully with other
properties in the area.
Vice -Chairman Telford asked David Klempin if the detached garage, would it require a
variance for the 659 square footage. David said it is an existing structure so it would not
require a variance from the Planning and Zoning Board of Adjustment.

presented plans.
