WORK SESSION February 27, 2013 HPC\Minutes\2013 HPC 02.27.13 David Klempin passed around the most recent staff approved Certificates of Appropriateness for the Commission to Review. A. Approved Certificate of Appropriateness as follows: #CA13-07 for property located at 401 South Main Street; #CA13-08 for property located at 202 West Wall Street; #CA13-09 for property located at 316 South Main Street; #CA13-10 for property located at 708 East Texas Street; #CA13-11 for property located at 840 East Worth Street. PUBLIC HEARING Chairman Burl Gilliam opened the Public Hearing for #HL13-01 for property located at 426 East Texas Street, legally described as Lot C, Rawls & Dalton Subdivision, City of Grapevine. Chairman Gilliam called on David Klempin to present the case. RECOMMENDATION: 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 the following property addressed as 426 East Texas Street, legally described as Lot C, Rawls & Dalton Subdivision, City of Grapevine. BACKGROUND: The Rawls House at 426 East Texas on the corner of Dooley Street is located in the Rawls and Dalton Subdivision. The house was built in 1947 based on a Cameron Lumber Company plan. The house has a gabled roof with a cross - axial plan and asymmetrical massing. The house is well placed on the large lot toward Dooley Street allowing for a natural drainage swale to pass along the west side of the property. The swale contains a large stand of natural trees. As you approach the house, a front facing gable bisects the house. The entrance porch is located to the right of the front gable. A detached garage is located to the rear of the property which was entered from Dooley Street. Sandra Tate, who lived at 218 West College Street, remembered the Champion's daug hter, Doris Champion Rawls. "She lived at Dooley and Texas Streets," Ms. Tate said. (It appears the Champion and Rawls families were united in marriage.) Mr. J. H. Champion was a contractor and builder of Cameron Homes. Wm. Ca meron & Company built 52 homes in one year in Grapevine during the mid 1960s according to Lloyd Graves, assistant manager of the Grapevine office of Wm. Cameron Company from 1946 to 1986. Cameron also offered a program to completely remodel and modernize existing homes. Rigorous adherence to Ca meron's building specifications created a generation of builders whose February 27, 2013 HPC\Minutes\2013 2 HPC 02.27.13 craftsmanship was unmatched. Staff recommends approval of the Historic Overlay #HL13-01 to record the history of the property and to allow the Historic Preservation Commission to have input in the development and the preservation of the house. A set of the proposed design guidelines for the property were presented. Margaret Telford made the motion to close the public hearing. Vick Cox seconded the motion which prevailed in the following vote: Ayes: All (Gilliam, Derr, Anderson, Cox, Shope, Telford and Ware) Nays: None Margaret Telford made the motion for the approval of #HL13-01 at 426 East Texas Street as presented. Sean Shope seconded the motion which prevailed in a vote of: Ayes: All (Gilliam, Derr, Anderson, Cox, Shope, Telford and Ware) Nays: None Chairman Burl Gilliam opened the Public Hearing for #CA13-12 for the property located at 705 North Main Street, legally described as A 946 Tr 20A, City of Grapevine. Chairman Gilliam called on David Klempin to present the case. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Historic Preservation Commission denial of Certificate of Appropriateness #CA13-12 for the property located at 705 North Main Street, legally described as A 946 Tr 20A, City of Grapevine to the Grapevine Historic Preservation Ordinance 91-73 (Appendix G - Grapevine Code of Ordinances), as amended for the following items: 1. Construct new 1800 sq. ft. addition to the historic Langley House at the side of the house containing new master bedroom, bath with dressing area, hall and power room and new stone front porch; 2. Construct a two -car garage on south side of property; (note options A and B); 3. Renovate small stone building to serve as pool house for new swimming pool. BACKGROUND: February 27, 2013 HPC\Minutes\2013 3 HPC 02.27.13 Certificate of Appropriateness application #CA13-12 was submitted by owner John Perrault, to expand the home, construct a new garage and renovate a stone building to serve as a pool house. Mr. Perrault recently married and wishes to expand the house to serve family needs. The Langley House is located on North Main Street and was the home of Mr. Ed and Naomi McCain Langley. He was a postal employee and local historian. The house is one of the few stone houses in Grapevine and unique in its design. There are several outbuildings on the large property. The proposed addition does not follow the proposed massing and scale criteria approved at the last meeting of the Historic Preservation Commission on the point of square footage. This house and its outbuilding will exceed the proposed 3,400 sq. ft. maximum condition. Chairman Gilliam called on Mr. Perrault to present his case. Commissioner Ted Ware asked Mr. Perrault how many square feet in his living space now, Mr. Perrault said 3,000 square feet now on 27,000 square feet of land. David Klempin said this is a big lot but the application request does not follow historic preservation's current Design Guidelines or the ordinance amendments in process. Ted asked how much the east elevation (Main Street) side would change. Mr. Perrault answered very little. Vice -Chairman Lee Derr said the house to land ratio was under 20% now. Mr. Perrault said he would use the same exact materials as when built; the stone and wavy shingles as built in 1940. He agreed to no front entry garage but asked for the option of building a garage in the far back southwest corner of his lot. He said he is now at a 14 foot high elevation and will not go any higher than the main peak of the now existing home. Mr. Perrault stated he would also like to include a covered front porch to extend out five foot in front of his home all the way across the whole front of the home. David Klempin said the porch would change the appearance of the historic Langley home. Commissioner Margaret Telford agreed saying it would change the integrity of what the house was. Chairman Gilliam said Mr. Perrault did have a very difficult lot with apartments behind his property, a boulevard on his side property and a winery across the street and this is a very large lot. He confirmed Mr. Perrault would not have any issue with reducing his height of peak from 14 feet to 12 feet and lowering the plate line. Mr. Perrault agreed, and added he would like to make Mr. Langley's bee hive house higher to be functional as a pool house. Commissioner Sean Shope questioned the height and the 15 foot setback on Dove Loop, Vice - Chairman Derr noted the looming six foot fence. Commissioner Margaret Telford stated the unique style of the Langley House should not be changed; if the addition should meet approval, the proposed porch would need to be moved to one of the new structures and not be put on the February 27, 2013 HPC\Minutes\2013 4 HPC 02.27.13 original existing house. Mr. Perrault agreed. Margaret Telford made the motion to close the public hearing. Ashley Anderson seconded the motion which prevailed in the following vote: Ayes: All (Gilliam, Derr, Anderson, Cox, Shope, Telford and Ware) Nays: None Commissioner Ted Ware stated it was fact proposals are only proposals and not binding; this case was a good example of why the Commission takes case by case. Many general rules work most of the time, except the one you are looking at; this is a good sized lot. Vice -Chair Lee Derr said with the garage, the Perrault property would be at a 22 percent ratio of structure square footage to lot square footage. Council Liaison Shane Wilbanks said the Commission should take caution with whatever action was needed, as the Historic Preservation Commission is the body that must make the decision. Vick Cox questioned the orientation of the drawings. David Klempin said the stockade fence would completely enclose the additions. Chairman Gilliam called for any more discussion. Ted Ware said Margaret was right in keeping the Langley House front fagade as it is, historic correct. Ashley Anderson made the motion for the approval of #CA13-12 at 705 North Main Street as presented with the maximum height restricted to the 12 foot as directed and no porch to be built on the Langley House. Sean Shope seconded the motion which prevailed in a vote of: Ayes: 6 (Gilliam, Derr, Anderson, Cox, Shope and Ware) Nays: 1 (Telford) Chairman Burl Gilliam opened the Public Hearing for #CA13-14 for property located at 708 East Texas Street, legally described as Block 107, Lot 9, College Heights Addition, City of Grapevine. Chairman Gilliam called on David Klempin to present the case. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Historic Preservation Commission approve with conditions Certificate of Appropriateness #CA13-14 for the property located at 708 East Texas Street, legally described as Block 107, Lot 9, College Heights Addition, City of Grapevine, to the Grapevine Historic Preservation Ordinance 91- 73 (Appendix G - Grapevine Code of Ordinances), as amended for the following items: 1. Hardie siding material as per sample; 2. Garage door units as per attached elevations; 3. Paint colors as per attached samples; 4. Marvin Integrity Windows for the house with the condition the window sash February 27, 2013 HPC\Minutes\2013 5 HPC 02.27.13 is to be divided in the middle of the window units. BACKGROUND: Certificate of Appropriateness application #CA13-14 was submitted on February 13, 2013 by the applicant, Jeremy Williams, for the approval of siding materials, garage door units, paint colors and window units. Jeremy selected and installed window units on his home which were not according to the original submitted plans approved by the Commission. Jeremy will offer a presentation at the meeting on the benefits of the Marvin Integrity Composite windows he installed in the house. Of interest to the Commission is how he corrects the appearance of the windows and the material requirement. Staff recommends approval of Certificate of Appropriateness #CA13-14 as presented with the condition the exterior window sashes to be divided in the middle of the window units. David Klempin said he noticed the windows installed and the divided lights were not appropriate; he thought the windows were made of vinyl, upon further inspection they were actually a fiberglass material. These windows were never approved on a separate Certificate of Appropriateness as directed by the Commission; they are now in, and they are not appropriate. Vice -Chairman Derr asked for the Design Guidelines for this property, David said the Guidelines require wood windows. Mr. Williams set up two of the fiberglass windows for the Commission to view. David said these windows are designed to replace old windows with a historical look. David told the Commission depending on their decision; this could set a precedent for others to get ahead of Guidelines without approval. The other items proposed on #CA13-14 were within the Guidelines but not the windows. Chairman Gilliam said this is a breach of the Historic Preservation Commission's approval; he called on Mr. Williams to speak. Mr. Williams presented the actual window agreeing it was a replica window made to replace original historic windows when they fail. He explained today's wood windows have a 10 year warranty, the fiberglass windows have a lifetime warranty; asking the Commission to approve the fiberglass windows. Mr. Williams presented his proposed paint colors explaining where they would be used. He then spoke of the windows again saying obviously they are installed and they are a premium window at one and one-half times the price of a wood window. He offered his apology to the Commission for jumping ahead without approval of the windows. Commissioner Vick Cox said when he saw the windows they appeared as vinyl to him. Margaret Telford made the motion to close the public hearing. Ted Ware seconded the motion which prevailed in the following vote: Ayes: All (Gilliam, Derr, Anderson, Cox, Shope, Telford and Ware) Nays: None February 27, 2013 HPC\Minutes\2013 6 HPC 02.27.13 Chairman Gilliam called for questions or comments. Ted Ware said he had worked over many old windows, a system open to failure, but the Commission was open to alternatives. Ted noted the profile seemed good but not the division of the lights (panes). He added he was not sure this window would last a life- time, but they could be somewhat receptive to new materials. Council Liaison Shane Wilbanks asked where the approval process went wrong. David said the property owner did not follow the conditions of the Commission's vote as stated in the approval letter he received stating the conditions to be a Certificate of Appropriateness was required for all exterior materials. Vice -Chairman Derr said we did begin accepting the Hardie plank siding and it was a good material. Margaret Telford asked how the Commission can be effective if it directs by the Guidelines but the property owner does not follow the conditions of the direction. Council Liaison Wilbanks asked if we allow this, then how can we stop anyone else in the District; if Mr. Williams is allowed to do this, we cannot tell others "no". He agreed perhaps there are better products coming, he stated he does not care how you treat people as long as all are treated alike. David stated the Secretary of Interior in regard to landmarked properties requires windows of wood, however a "new Construction" can consider products of that time period; but we have only allowed wood windows in the Township. Commissioner Vick Cox said he could vouch for that as he was required wood windows only on his home in the Township. Chairman Gilliam called for a motion. Sean Shope put forth a motion for the approval of #CA13-14 as presented samples and drawings for Hardie board siding, paint colors, garage door units and with the condition of wood windows. Vick Cox seconded the motion which prevailed in a vote of: Ayes: 3 (Cox, Shope and Telford) Nays: 4 (Gilliam, Derr, Ware and Anderson) The motion Failed. Ted Ware moved to allow the particular type of maker; but the sash must be must be divided in seconded the motion which prevailed in a vote of: Ayes: 4 (Gilliam, Derr, Ware and Anderson) Nays: 3 (Cox, Shope and Telford) fiberglass window unit, any the middle. Ashley Anderson Chairman Burl Gilliam opened the Public Hearing for #HL13-03 for property located at 616 East Wall Street, legally described as Block 101, Lot 4, College Heights Addition, City of Grapevine. Chairman Gilliam called on David Klempin to February 27, 2013 HPC\Minutes\2013 7 HPC 02.27.13 present the case. RECOMMENDATION: 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 properties addressed as: 616 East Wall Street, legally described as Block 101, Lot 4, College Heights Addition, City of Grapevine. BACKGROUND: This vacant lot is adjacent to the Craghill Bungalow (named for the family of a past owner, Hazel King), a 1 -story, wood -framed Bungalow sheathed with 117 siding located at 618 E. Wall Street. The house faces north onto Wall Street and sits on a concrete pier foundation. The house has large side gables and a front gabled porch. A gravel drive is located along the east property line. According to Tax Records, in 1928 J. D. McCormick purchased this property for $50. According to the Grapevine Area History book, Jim McCormick married Mary Edna "Molly" Crowley, a descendant of the pioneer Isham Crowley family who came to Tarrant County from Missouri in 1849. The lot was sold to Henry and Frances Hulsey McCally, executors of the estate of Cassie Orena Hulsey. In 1978 it was sold to Frank Ford. According to the Grapevine Area History book, Frank Ford was married to Nora Millican, daughter of Charles C. Millican, who died in 1922. The property was acquired by Hazel King who improved the house at 618 E. Wall Street. Staff recommends approval of the Historic Overlay #HL13-03 to record the history of the property and to allow the Historic Preservation Commission to have input in the development and of the property. Margaret Telford made the motion to close the public hearing. Ashley Anderson seconded the motion which prevailed in the following vote: Ayes: All (Gilliam, Derr, Anderson, Cox, Shope, Telford and Ware) Nays: None Margaret Telford made the motion for the approval of #HL13-03 at 616 East Wall Street as presented. Lee Derr seconded the motion which prevailed in a vote of: Ayes: All (Gilliam, Derr, Anderson, Cox, Shope, Telford and Ware) Nays: None Chairman Burl Gilliam opened the Public Hearing for #CA13-15 for property located at 616 East Wall Street, legally described as Block 101, Lot 4, College Heights Addition, City of Grapevine. Chairman Gilliam called on David Klempin to present the case. February 27, 2013 HPC\Minutes\2013 8 HPC 02.27.13 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Historic Preservation Commission approve with conditions Certificate of Appropriateness #CA13-15 for the property located at 616 East Wall Street, legally described as Block 101, Lot 4, College Heights Addition, to the Grapevine Historic Preservation Ordinance 91-73 (Appendix G - Grapevine Code of Ordinances), as amended for the following items: Construct new 1 1/2 story period -style house with attached 2 -car garage following the City of Grapevine Design Guidelines with the conditions: 1. Historic Landmark overlay #HL13-03 be approved for the property; 2. the roof be reduced in massing and scale to conform to the side yard setback plane and 2. all selections of exterior materials, windows, doors, light fixtures and paint colors be approved under a separate Certificate of Appropriateness. BACKGROUND: Certificate of Appropriateness application #CA13-15 was submitted on February 13, 2013 by the owner Neal Cooper for the construction of a new 1 '/2 story house. The house includes an attached 2 -car garage. The house contains three bedrooms 2 %2 baths, living areas, dining room and kitchen. The house was developed following City of Grapevine Design Guidelines for Historic Properties. At the January meeting of the Historic Preservation Commission, the Commission approved proposed amendments to the Preservation ordinance. The house does not conform to the proposed side yard set back requirement. The owner is willing to consider revising the roof line to conform to the proposed ordinance. Staff recommends the approval of #CA13-15 for the 1 '/2 story period -style house with the conditions Historic Landmark overlay #HL13-03 be approved for the property; the roof be reduced in massing and scale to conform to the side yard setback plane and all selections of exterior materials, windows, doors, light fixtures and paint colors be approved under a separate Certificate of Appropriateness. David Klempin showed photographs of the contextual houses on each side and expressed his concern was the very tall roof. Staff suggested per the Historic Preservation Commission's vote now in place to prevent massing and looming the roof be contained to reduce the tall wall. Vice -Chairman Derr said the proposed tall roofline brings in massing. Margaret Telford said the neighboring homes are only 1,200 - 1,500 square feet , the proposed house would fit in more on East Texas Street. Chairman Gilliam called on the builder, Neal Cooper to speak. Mr. Cooper said the owner wanted a small and quaint house with a nine February 27, 2013 HPC\Minutes\2013 9 HPC 02.27.13 foot plate on the first floor and an eight foot plate on the second floor. He added there would be no additional floor joists in the attic as would be needed if expansion was planned for later, the first floor is 1,700 square feet and the second floor area is 447 square feet. David Klempin said the volume is too much with the massive roof; he recommended turning the upstairs floor plan to the side. He said the only problem is the roof height and massing, it needed to be brought to a cottage style. Ted Ware said the voluminous roof was out of place with the adjacent houses built after World War II were tight to the ground and this roof does not fit in. The Commission discussed and agreed the case should be tabled until the March meeting for the builder to return with new plans. Margaret Telford moved to Table the case and for the builder to return before the Commission with new plans. Ted Ware seconded the motion which prevailed in a vote of: Ayes: All (Gilliam, Derr, Anderson, Cox, Shope, Telford and Ware) Nays: None Chairman Burl Gilliam opened the Public Hearing for #HL13-02 for property located at 625 East Texas Street, legally described as Block 105, Lot 6 & 7, College Heights Addition, City of Grapevine. Chairman Gilliam called on David Klempin to present the case. RECOMMENDATION: 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 properties addressed as 625 East Texas Street, legally described as Block 105, Lot 6 & 7, College Heights Addition, City of Grapevine. BACKGROUND: This small home was built in the late 1940s at the corner of East Texas and Wood Streets by John Tillery to serve as his family home. The property contains two lots in the College Heights Addition. It is sited close to the street on lot 7. Lot 6 is vacant and provides a large side yard to the west of the house. The house was added onto several times over the years. It is a min imal traditional style house with a gable roof and a L-shaped plan. A sunroom was added on to the northeast corner of the house facing north. It contains a living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, two bedrooms and a sunroom. A small concrete porch leads to the front door of the home. The house features composite siding and one over one aluminum windows. Several native trees are located on the site. A shed and garage structure is I February 27, 2013 HPC\Minutes\2013 10 HPC 02.27.13 ocated to the rear of the property. The home is in a badly deteriorated condition with a collapsed roof and floor in the sunroom. Staff recommended approval of the Historic Overlay #HL13-02 to record the history of the property and to allow the Historic Preservation Commission to have input in the development and of the property. A set of the proposed design guidelines for the property were presented. David said due to the deterioration with the collapsed roof and the foundation failed in many places the structure was recommended for tear down and to be replaced. Neal Cooper is the builder for the property owner, Dr. Paul Davis. Chairman Gilliam called on Dr. Davis for his comments, he had no comment. Ted Ware made the motion to close the public hearing. Margaret Telford seconded the motion which prevailed in the following vote: Ayes: All (Gilliam, Derr, Anderson, Cox, Shope, Telford and Ware) Nays: None Sean Shope made the motion for the approval of #HL13-02 at 625 East Texas Street as presented. Margaret Telford seconded the motion which prevailed in a vote of: Ayes: All (Gilliam, Derr, Anderson, Cox, Shope, Telford and Ware) Nays: None Chairman Burl Gilliam opened the Public Hearing for #CA13-16 for property located at 625 East Texas Street, legally described as Block 105, Lot 6 & 7, College Heights Addition, City of Grapevine. Chairman Gilliam called on David Klempin to present the case. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Historic Preservation Commission denial of Certificate of Appropriateness #CA13-16 for the property located at 625 East Texas Street, legally described as Block 105, Lot 6 & 7, City of Grapevine, to the Grapevine Historic Preservation Ordinance 91-73 (Appendix G - Grapevine Code of Ordinances), as amended for the following items: Construct new 1 %2 story period -style house with detached 3 -car garage. BACKGROUND: Certificate of Appropriateness application #CA13-16 was submitted on February 13, 2013 by the applicant/builder Neal Cooper for the construction of a new 1 '/2 story house, breezeway and detached 3 -car garage for the owner. The plans February 27, 2013 HPC\Minutes\2013 11 HPC 02.27.13 were developed by an architect to serve the owners requirements for a primary residence. The house is designed in Queen Anne Victorian style. The porches, outbuilding and the breezeway to the house extends its living areas into the landscape. The house contains three bedrooms, three bathrooms, living areas, dining area and kitchen. The corner turret is a major feature to the house. There are no other known examples of this feature in Grapevine or the Historic Township. Staff recommends denial of #CA13-16 for the construction of the new house as the design is not consistent with current Design Guidelines of the City of Grapevine. In addition the design does not follow the proposed massing and scale criteria approved at the last meeting of the Historic Preservation Commission on the point of square footage. This house and its detached garage and covered walkway will exceed the proposed 3,400 sq. ft. maximum condition. David explained the house is actually not that large but with the three -car garage, the many covered porches and the breezeway the coverage is 4,800 square feet. At this time staff recommends denial due to the design and the size is inappropriate to the Township. Vice -Chairman Derr questioned the Guidelines and any changes to be made in buying and combining two lots. The turret was discussed as inappropriate for the Township. Mr. Cooper explained Dr. Davis wanted the turret and its similarity to the Dallas Historic District. David Klempin explained Grapevine had no turrets in the Township. Vice -Chairman Derr said the original folks could not afford a lot of ornamentation. Commissioner Telford agreed saying there were no turrets common to the Township, turrets would be out by the lake in newer build or in Waxahachie. The Commission discussed and agreed the case should be tabled until the March meeting for the builder to return with new plans. Margaret Telford made the motion to close the public hearing. Ashley Anderson seconded the motion which prevailed in the following vote: Ayes: All (Gilliam, Derr, Anderson, Cox, Shope, Telford and Ware) Nays: None Vice -Chairman Lee Derr moved to Table #CA13-16 and for the builder to return to the Commission with more appropriate plans. Margaret Telford seconded the motion which prevailed in a vote of: Ayes: All (Gilliam, Derr, Anderson, Cox, Shope, Telford and Ware) Nays: None MINUTES Chairman Gilliam called to consider the minutes as written. February 27, 2013 HPC\Minutes\2013 12 HPC 02.27.13 David Klempin stated the January 23, 2013 minutes should be amended on page 6, paragraph 2: Ted Ware asked if the vote would include parking, the answer should have read No, as parking was not on the agenda for that meeting. Ashley Anderson made the motion to accept the January 23, 2013 minutes as amended. Margaret Telford seconded the motion, which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: All (Gilliam, Derr, Anderson, Cox, Shope, Telford and Ware) Nays: None ADJOURNMENT Vick Cox made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Lee Derr seconded the motion, which prevailed in the following vote: Ayes: All (Gilliam, Derr, Anderson, Cox, Shope, Telford and Ware) Nays: None The meeting adjourned at 8:10 p.m. PASSED AND APPROVED BY THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF GRAPEVINE, TEXAS, ON THIS THE 27th DAY OF MARCH, 2013.
