WORKSHOP David Klempin introduced: The Grapevine Pattern Book Principles and Standards for Residential Additions and New Builds Within the Grapevine Historic Township Boundary He shared that this book took two years to produce with the hard work of many different consultants and specialists along the way. The Grapevine Pattern Book can be found online at the City of Grapevine's Website under Historic Preservation. This book would help residential property owners design new homes or additions to existing homes resembling historic property styles from the 1880's through the 1940's. The building styles should fit into the neighborhood. There are 4 basic styles: • Folk Victorian 1870-1910 • Queen Ann Victorian 1880-1910 • Arts and Craft Bungalow 1905-1930 • Prairie Style 1900-1920 Mr. Klempin handed it over to the Assistant Historic Preservation Manager Hugo Gardea to conduct the rest of the Workshop on the Grapevine Pattern Book, adopted to the Appendix G of the Grapevine Code of Ordinances on June 17, 2025. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Grapevine Pattern Book Principles and Standards for Residential Additions and New Builds Within the Grapevine Historic Township Boundary adopted to the Appendix G of the Grapevine Code of Ordinances on June 17, 2025. Section 1— Standards and Conditions of Application • The Pattern Book applies to all of the residential homes in the Township • Following the standards will create a more compatible building with the spatial requirements of modern living • Allow encroachments into the setbacks and full height 2nd floor walls 2025-11-19 HPC.docx HPC November 19, 2025 • Table of Conditions/Applications which will make certain patterns/principles/standards applicable (or not applicable) to different types of projects. Section 2 — How to Apply the Pattern Book Five steps for design development: 1. Identify the building space (zoning classification setbacks) 2. Identify the buildable spatial lot envelope (40% by ordinance) 3. Develop the building form (massing components) 4. Choose the facade style (relationship between solid and void) 5. Incorporate the building construction standards Section 3- Standards & Features of Architectural Style Identifies the 4 primary architectural styles and their attributes predominant in the Township during the development of the historic districts. 1. Folk Victorian (one of the oldest styles in Grapevine) 2. Queen Anne Victorian (one of the oldest styles in Grapevine) 3. Arts and Crafts Bungalow (moral/ethical movement away from industrialization celebrating the true work of craftsmanship) 4. Prairie Style (many attribute this style to FLW and his interpretation of the midwestern prairie -horizontal and low), also known as "Foursquare" Section 4—Adjacency and Encroachment • Patterns of Lot Occupancy • Primarily determined by the applicable zoning to include maximum building area • This Ordinance Establishes: 1. variances and standards that ensure lot occupancy does not adversely affect block or architectural continuity 2. acknowledge conventions of construction and building design • Conventions of construction and design include: 1. Continuous wall plane and plate height at front yard and side yard when common plate height facing the property is 14 feet or less. 2. Identifies structures permitted in the front yard and rear yard spaces 3. Identifies permitted encroachments over the front yard and rear yard setbacks Section 5 — Public and Private Domain, Block Continuity • Refers to the thematic relationships that exist between the public and private domain of a property that collectively create a fabric of identity • General description of zoning categories R-7.5 and R-12.5 • Block Continuity: the lot width and setbacks regulated by the Pattern Book are the average lot width and setback dimensions found among historic lots of any particular block. The steps in applying this: 1. Identify lot measurements of historic properties within the block (of a project) and determine average 2. Identify the four zones of block continuity: 2025-11-19 HPC.docx 3 HPC November 19, 2025 ■ Fagade ■ Interface ■ Promenade ■ Corner Recognition Section 6 — Building Form • The complexity of building forms (of historic homes) resulted in smaller architectural masses is a dominant pattern within the Historic Grapevine Township. • The pattern book recognizes the lifestyle preferences of present-day owners wanting to construct larger homes on historic Township lots • To accommodate larger sizes, the Grapevine Pattern Book recognizes and identifies form elements that could meet larger homes: 1. Primary Mass 2. Sub -Mass (must have at least one cross gable projecting towards the street) 3. Adjunct Mass (form to reduce two-story wall plane on a side yard) 4. Accessory Mass (e.g. porches, patios, porte-cocheres) 5. Engaged Mass (detached structures, e.g. garage, shed, pergola) • The chapter ends with principles for combining the five elements of the building form and when they are to be utilized Section 7 —Wall and Openings • Discusses the patterns and compositions of voids and solids on an elevation. Where the voids represent openings while the solids represent an opaque wall plane • Following principles apply: 1. Association with a form element (pattern of void to solid and uniformity of headers and vertical alignments) 2. Arrangements that convey compositional logic (pattern of regulating lines) 3. Defined by architectural style 4. Preserve the legibility of architectural forms to avoid modern day framing that makes it possible to locate a window close to a corner (1.5 feet) Section 8 — Standards of Building Quality • Quality standards prevent lower end materials and promote higher building standards. • Architectural features: 1. Chimneys 2. Materials (by Architectural style) 3. Prohibited Materials 4. Construction details o Masonry: brick, stone, o Material changes stucco o Wall construction o Siding o Window details o Architectural o Cornice details relief/articulation o Roof screening o Wood exterior trim 2025-11-19 HPC.docx 4 HPC November 19, 2025 o Gutters, downspouts, scuppers and collection boxes o Glazing systems o Front yard fences o Street visible gates o Wrought iron o Prohibited fence materials The Grapevine Pattern Book seeks to mitigate potential visual conflicts between historic residential structures and new structures through the introduction of patterns and principles that will assure a visual historic continuity throughout the Historic Grapevine Township.
