Historic Landmark Overlay #HL24-01 for property located at 717 East Worth Street, legally described as Block 109, Lots 12 & 13, College Heights Addition, City of Grapevine. Preservation Officer Klempin presented this item. BACKGROUND: On May 31, 2024, Neal Cooper of Tin Barn Construction Company submitted #HL24-01 fora Historic Landmark Overlay application for the property at 717 East Worth Street. The property is located within the College Heights Addition and is within the boundary of the Grapevine Historic Township. The property contains the Tickner Apartment building which was built in 1963 on a slab on grade foundation, containing eight apartments surrounding a central courtyard. The building has a hip and gable roof with wide roof overhangs and is clad in red veneer brick. The building has driveway access from the rear with an asphalt paved roadway. The building is currently deteriorated and the apartment units are not habitable. The building does not lend itself to being adapted to serve as a single-family residential structure. The applicant is requesting to demolish the building and in its place has proposed a two - lot development plan to allow for the construction of two period -style homes to follow Design Guidelines established for the property. The alley access way would be incorporated into the length of the two lots, allowing for detached garages at the rear of the lots and accessed from the front of the property from East Worth Street. Staff recommends approval of the Historic Overlay #HL24-01 to record the history of the property and to allow the Historic Preservation Commission to have input in the future development of the property. A set of the proposed Design Guidelines for the property are attached. RECOMMENDATION: 2024-06-26 HPC HPC JUNE 26, 2024 Staff recommends the Historic Preservation Commission approve the proposed Historic Landmark Subdistrict overlay to the Grapevine Historic Preservation Ordinance 91-73 (Appendix G — Grapevine Code of Ordinances), as amended for following property addressed as: 717 East Worth Street, legally described as Block 109, Lots 12 & 13, College Heights Addition, City of Grapevine. Vice -Chairman Telford said she remembers there used to be two small framed Craftsmen style houses. She said her first -grade teacher lived in one of the houses, at that time all the schools in Grapevine used to be where the Faith Christian School is today.

Historic Preservation Officer David Klempin said he located a 1944 aerial photo that shows the two small houses on the lot and the apartment building to the west lot had 2 other small houses. We are reverting back to the original single-family residential lots intent for the area. It is a great plan for Historic Preservation and for the original Township.
