PUBLIC HEARING
Chairman Shope opened the Public Hearing for #CA16-97 for the property located
at 911 East Worth Street, legally described as Block 4 Lot 5, D. E. Box Addition,
Grapevine, Texas and take any necessary action.
Chairman Shope called on David Klempin to present the case.
BACKGROUND
Certificate of Appropriateness application #CA16-97 was submitted by the applicant,
Jared Childs of C3 Equity, LLC on September 27, 2016, to paint over the exterior brick
of the historic Leon Burke house in the D. E. Box Addition Historic District. The owner
purchased this property several months ago with the purpose to renovate and update
the house for resale to a new buyer. The owner noticed existing cracks in the mortar
of the exterior brick, to address the mortar cracks, he painted over the brick and
mortar with, Sherwin Williams' #SW 7028 white, paint without first applying for a
Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Commission.
Per the Design Guidelines established for the D. E. Box Addition, brick shall not be
painted. The owner had expressed he was unaware of the requirement to maintain
original brick and not to paint it. The white color painted on the brick is very bright and
not consistent with brick on the homes in the D. E. Box Addition, especially those
immediately surrounding it.
The owner was cited for the violation of painting brick by Code Enforcement who
issued Citation number 00137 on September 14, 2016, and by letter from Grapevine
City Attorney Matthew Boyle on September 23, 2016.
The owner stated to sandblast the paint off the brick or to chemically remove the paint
would be, for him, cost prohibitive. To remediate the violation, the owner has offered to
paint the brick a color more compatible with the original brick homes on Worth Street.
Options for this include painting it a color to match the color of the original brick;
painting it another appropriate color to better blend with the surrounding homes; or
applying a wash of another color, to temper the white color and create more depth and
texture to the brick.
The Commissioners recommended removing the paint with a chemical paint remover;
walnut or pecan shell blasting (as more gentle to the brick than sand blasting); they
asked the owner to return to the November 9, 2016 meeting with the results.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Historic Preservation Commission deny Certificate of
Appropriateness #CA16-97 to paint the exterior brick of the Historic Leon Burke house
with Sherwin Williams' #SW 7028 white paint.
David Klempin reported to the commission, he and staff had observed the sampling of
the paint removal from the brick, and the paint had been removed in two of the sample
areas with no damage to the brick. He then called on the property owner, Mr. Jared
Childs to come forward and speak to the commission.
Mr. Childs reported the sampling had been made using crushed glass, walnut and
sand blasting on the paint. Chairman Shope thanked Mr. Childs. Commissioner
Margaret Telford noted the blasting had been effective and looked good.
Margaret Telford made the motion to close the public hearing for #CA16-97; Eric
Gilliland seconded the motion which prevailed in the following vote:

at 216 West Wall Street, legally described as Block 12, Lot 12E, Starr Addition,
Grapevine, Texas and take any necessary action.
Chairman Shope called on David Klempin to present the case.
BACKGROUND:
Certificate of Appropriateness application #CA16-103 was submitted by the applicant,
Chris Minteer, on October 26, 2016 to rework the existing parking lot to create
additional required parking spaces; to renovate the original house; and construct a
new one-story addition to serve as a real estate office. The house is located within the
West Wall Street Historic District. The design for the proposed project was prepared
November 09, 2016 HPC\Minutes\2016 3
HPC 11.09.16
by architect Gary Skotnicki to follow the Design Guidelines established for the district.
The existing parking area would be enhanced to create additional spaces and the
American Disabilities Act (ADA) required parking space. The existing house contains
1,372 square feet of living area and combined with the new addition of 1,333 square
feet would result in a total of 2,705 square feet of climate controlled area. The new
addition would feature an entrance, reception area, guest desk, office, and conference
room with bar area.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommended approval of #CA16-103 for plans to rework the existing parking
area and renovate the existing house and construct a new one-story addition as per
the attached plans following the Design Guidelines established for the property, with
the conditions a permit is obtained from the Building Department and all exterior
materials, windows, doors and door hardware, light fixtures and paint colors to be
approved under a separate Certificate(s) of Appropriateness.
Chairman Shope called on Architect Gary Skotnicki and Alysha Rosse for their
comments. They discussed their business credentials and the special design
elements taken to keep the roof ridge far back to not be visible from the street and
used a simple gable with a chamfered corner.
Mike Kellerman, the adjoining business neighbor, asked to comment noting the
driveway and parking hazard affecting his property. He said he had five months of
abuse with the drive entry to his property blocked and trespassers on his lot; he could
have had the trespassers towed, but did not want the problem to affect their elderly
customers. He stated the driveway narrows at the entrance — those at 216 West Wall
Street cannot turn around without encroaching on his property at 210 West Wall. He
said, today his driveway is used 75 percent by his neighbor and there has been one
minor fender bender. His concern was the need for design function, as his property is
required to enter and turn.
Commissioner Ted Ware said the discussion of this was getting into things not in the
commission's authority, the items stated were of interest, but the commission could
not make judgement on them. The architect for the 216 West Wall Street renovation
and addition, Gary Skotnicki, said he could move the addition to the west.
Vick Cox made the motion to close the public hearing for #CA16-103; Chuck Voelker
seconded the motion which prevailed in the following vote:
Ayes: 6 (Shope, Cox, Telford, Voelker, Ware and Gilliland)
Absent: (Derr and Anderson)
Nays: None
Mr. Kellerman did question using a fence on the property line, he turned in an
application for a Certificate of Appropriateness to approve a fence for his property
during the meeting.

PUBLIC HEARING
Chairman Shope opened the Public Hearing for #CA16-105 for the property located
at 319 East College Street, legally described as Block 29, Lot 2, Grapevine, City of,
Grapevine, Grapevine, Texas and take any necessary action.
Chairman Shope called on David Klempin to present the case.
BACKGROUND:
Certificate of Appropriateness application #CA16-105 was submitted by the applicant,
Michael Karnowski, on October 26, 2016 to remove the addition on the east side of
the house, restore the original house and detached garage, construct a one -car
garage bay on the east side of the detached garage and construct a new 1 1/2 story
addition, with a partial basement, to the house. The house is a Grapevine historic
landmark located within the College Street Residential Historic District. The design for
the project was prepared by Architect John Allendar to follow the Design Guidelines
established for the district and the 2013 Amendments to the Historic Preservation
Ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommended the Historic Preservation Commission approve with conditions
Certificate of Appropriateness #CA16-105 for the property located at 319 East College
Street to remove the addition from the east side of the house; restoration of the
original house and original detached garage; the new construction of a one -car garage
bay on the east side of the garage; and the construction of a new 1 1/2 story addition
with partial basement to follow the Design Guidelines of the College Street Residential
Historic District as per attached drawings with the condition a variance be approved
for the addition of a one -car garage bay on the east side of the original detached
garage; a permit be obtained from the Building Department; and all exterior materials,
windows, doors and door hardware, light fixtures and paint colors be approved under
a separate Certificate(s) of Appropriateness.
David Klempin said the garage plan had been amended as it would need a small
addition to access vehicles; therefore a variance for adaptive reuse of 400 square feet
to the current garage to bring the garage to a total of 1,100 square feet. The
calculation was 500 square feet for a detached garage combined with the 200 square
feet allowed by ordinance for an outdoor shed, plus a variance to allow another 400
square feet to total 1,100 square feet total.

HPC 11.09.16
Chairman Shope called on Architect John Allender to confirm the house plans
presented were at 3,392 square feet and to make comment. Mr. Allender said his
research showed the house was built in 1908 with a porch constructed to the back of
the house in 1935, additions had been made to the front of the house to reconstruct
the front of the home; the additions were not constructed properly resulting in water
damage. He said the garage had served as a television repair shop. Mr. Allender
addressed the work needed for the full restoration. The outbuilding request would
only be 18 feet wide requiring more room to access vehicles on the interior and the
variance would bring the total size to 1,100 square feet. The existing garage
bathroom would be moved and saved. Chairman Shope called on the commission for
their questions, they all agreed the presentation of the square footage numbers were
confusing. Chairman Shope called on City Attorney Matthew Boyle for an
interpretation of the numbers given in regard to the ordinance. Attorney Matthew
Boyle requested time to look at the math and sort out.
David Klempin said the variance was requested for preservation, alternate
Commissioner Eric Gilliland asked if the house was listed on the National Register, the
plans presented drastically change the front of the building. Mr. Klempin answered
no, it was landmarked by the city but not on the National Register for Historic Places;
he said the change in appearance was quizzed, the condition was very poor and the
plans will strengthen and save as a positive.
Chairman Shope agreed the questions were significant to deserve clarity and made a
motion to continue the case to the December 14, 2016 meeting of the Historic
Preservation Commission; Vick Cox seconded the motion which prevailed in the
following vote:
Ayes: 6 (Shope, Cox, Telford, Voelker, Ware and Gilliland)
Nays: None
Absent: (Derr and Anderson)
