Commission requesting a historic landmark subdistrict designation by making application
for same with the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Grapevine, Texas as
required by State statutes and the zoning ordinances of the City of Grapevine, Texas and

SITE
Retain the historic relatianships between buildings, landscaping features and open
space. Avoid rearranging the site by maving ar removing buildings and site
features, such as walks, drives and fences,that help define the residence's historic
value.
SETBACKS
Building setbacks should be consistent with adjacent buildings or with the style af
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 residenfral setback should retain #he
setback of adjacent and nearby structures, with landscaping along the street right-
of-way.
Residential buildings with a commercial use in residen#ial 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.
DRIVEWAYS, PARKING LflTS AND VACANT SItES
Driveways should be located perpendicular to the stree#; no circular drives shall be
allowed (unless proven with historic documentation) in front or carner side yard, so
that the character of#he landscaped yard can be reinfarced.
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 af
landscaped frant or corner side yards. This is important ta both the preservatian of
historic character, and to the strengthening af the residential district.
Screen existing parking lots from streets and pedestrian areas in the Historic
Qistrict. Existing parking lots located adjacent to streets and sidewalks may be
screened to the height of car hoods. This will provide a certain leuel of continuity of
the building fa�ade line; it will screen unsightly views; and it will provide a level of
security by allowing views ta and from the sidewalk.
FENCES
Historically, fences around historic houses defined yards and the boundary around
property and gardens. Wood picket fences, woad rail fences and barbed wire or
decorative wire fences were the cammon fence types in Grapevine. Traditionally,
Page 4
EXHtBIT � TO�'��;�;����li�
Page�_caf�_
picket fences surrounded the front af the house while rail and wire fences
surrounded the agricultura! 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 stree#sides of praperty. Waod privacy fences may be allowed when installed
in the rear yard and behind the front fa�ade af a property. Utilitarianlprivacy fences
should not be installed in front of a historic building or beyond the line af the front
fa�ade of a historic building.
Replacing fences. If replacement is required due ta 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 compiiment the historic boundary of the property
without concealing the historic character of the property.
SERYICE 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.
Mechanical equipment, including satellite dishes, shall not be located in front or
carner side yards ar should be set back from the edges of raofs, and screened sa
#hat they are not vi�ible#o pedestrians and do nat detract from the historic character
of buildings.
BUILDING FABRIC
PRESERVATION
Preserve, stabilize, and restare original building form, ornament and materials.
Any missing ar 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 ariginal
style may be recreated through #he use of historic photographs.
Where replication of original elements is not possible, a new design consistent wi#h
the original style of the building may be used.
Reconstruction of building elements shauld reflectthe size, scale, material and level
Page 5
EXHIBIT � TO �,.�-�0.�..�i Q��
Page�� of�
of detail of the original design.
Preserve older renovations that have achieved historic sign'rficance. O(der
structures or additions may have, at some time, been renovated with such care and
ski(i that the renovation itself is warthy af preservation. Usualiy, such renovations
may date fram before 1940.
EXTERIOR FlNISHES
Original woad finishes should be maintained and painted or, when necessary,
replaced in kind. Modern synthetic siding materials such as vinyl ar metal bear little
resemblance to historic siding materials. The applicatian of such modern synthetic
materials often involves the removal of original decorative e{ements such as
cornice, corner boards, brackets, window and door trim, etc. New synthe#ic siding
shail 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
asbestas siding over existing woad siding is not required, but strangly 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 stane cannot be matched with existing, painting may
be an appropriate treatment.
Paint calors should be complimentary to eact�other and the overall character of the
house. When possible, research the ariginal paint colar and #inishes 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)
apprapriate to the district's charac#er, which may be proposed and appraved
thraugh the Minor Exterior Alteration application process. Any colors proposed
outside #he 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 shauld be
preserved and maintained or replaced in kind.
When replacement is necessary, do so within existing histaric opening.
Replacement of non-original windows should consider the use of historically
appropriate woad windows. Use same sash size to avoid �Iling in or enlarging the
original opening. Clear or very slightly tinted window glass may be used. No
reflec#ive or heavily tinted glass shall be used.
Page 6

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 e�erior 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 inetal storm windows are installed, paint to blend with surrounding elements.
EMBELLISHMENTS
AWNINGS-CANOPIES
New awnings and canopies should not be installed above windows or doors.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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.
Avoid exposed lighting of any kind unless part of a historic fixture.
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
Page 7
EXHIBIT�Tp j}j�. p:� 1��4
Page � of_ �
building to the heights of adjacent struetures. Avoid new buildings that tower over
existing ones.
Horizontal wood siding (novelty,tangue and groove,shiplap or equivalent)and brick
are appropria#e e�erior building finishes far the historic house. Fake brick or stone
or gravel aggregate materials shall never be used.
ADDITIQNS TO HISTORIC BUILDINGS
Additions to histaric buildings should replicate the style of the main building if
passible; otherwise they should adhere to the general style with simplified details.
As a minimum, new additions should reflect the massing, roof shape, bay spacing,
carnice lines and building materials of the primary structure.
All new wood or metal materials should have a painted finish except an some 20tn
century buildings where the use af unpainted aluminum or steel was part af the
original design and should be maintained.
A new additian should, if at all possible, be lacated 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 cannection is used
#o separate old from new.
New vertical additions should be set back from primary facades sa as not #o be
readily apparent from the facing street.
When reproducing elements that were originally part of a historic building they
