PUBLIC HEARING Chairman Shope opened the Public Hearing for#CA17-39 for the property located at 600 West College Street, legally described as Block: 44R Lot: 1 R, Original Town of Grapevine, Texas and take any necessary action. Chairman Shope called on David Klempin to present the case BACKGROUND: Certificate of Appropriateness application #CA17-39 was submitted by the applicant, Neal Cooper of Copper Street Homes, on March 20, 2017 to remove the non- contributing wood deck and to construct a new 1 '/2 story addition on the west side of the house. The W. R. Buckner House was built in 1902. The house is located within the boundary of the College Street Residential Historic District and is a contributing structure. The plans for the new addition with two-car garage were developed by Scott Buchanan following the Design Guidelines and the provisions of the 2013-23 update to the Preservation Ordinance. The owner's design concept is to connect the original W. R. Buckner House to the new 1 '/2 story addition by using a one story link. This treatment with a link would aid in reducing the mass and scale of the addition and help blend into the original house, the wooded site and setting, improving the impact on the streetscape. On the front elevation, the original house is visible to the right and a new gabled addition is shown to the left. The existing house contains 1,068 square feet; combined with the new addition would contain 3,389 square feet of climate controlled living area (less than the maximum 3,400 square feet allowed by the 2013-23 Preservation Ordinance update). The new addition proposed 1,765 square feet of living area and an attached garage of 551 square feet garage (the garage "attached" to the house is considered a part of the maximum 3,400 square feet allowed by the 2013-23 Preservation Ordinance). The projecting gable on the south elevation of the new addition extends beyond the line of the side yard setback requirement. The CVB Director, Historic Preservation Officer and Building Official have reviewed the plans and recommend a variance be granted for the projecting gable of the new addition on the south side elevation. April 26, 2017 HPC\Minutes\2017 2 HPC 04.26.17 Rooms in the new addition would include dining and family rooms, laundry and a half bath, a two-car garage on the first floor and a new master bedroom and bath on the second floor. The lot size is 16,917 square feet with building coverage of 16.7 percent (less than the maximum of 40 percent coverage). RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Historic Preservation Commission approve with conditions Certificate of Appropriateness #CA17-39 for the property located at 600 West College Street, legally described as Block 44R, Lot 1 R, Original Town of Grapevine, City of Grapevine, to the Grapevine Historic Preservation Ordinance 91-73 (Appendix G — Grapevine Code of Ordinances), as amended for the following items: to remove the non-contributing wood deck and to construct a new 1 '/2 -story addition on the west side of the house, as per the attached plans; with the conditions a variance be granted for the projecting gable on the south elevation; a building permit is 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. Chairman Shope called on the applicant, Neal Cooper, for comments. Mr. Cooper said the design for the addition was driven by homes they had seen in the Northeast where barns had been converted into living quarters or bridged to the house on the property as an addition. He explained the size of the lot, the location and how it bordered the creek. The old pier and beam construction would drop down with steps to the new addition to appear as a house and barn connected; the addition would have a different style from the existing house's 1902 style to give some separation. Commissioner Chuck Voelker inquired about work on the existing old house, Mr. Cooper said he was only removing the non-contributing deck, all other elevations would remain the same. Mr. Cooper added the property transition would become a "dual face" facing out on College and Scribner Streets; the new address will be a Scribner Street address due to the setback requirements. Chairman Shope noted the creek was on one side, the church on the other, so the rear elevation is the creek side; Mr. Copper agreed saying the sewer easements were on the east and west sides. Commissioner Voelker asked about the variance requested. Mr. Cooper responded to remedy the entrance went to the Scribner side. Commissioner Ware noted they were ending up with the clipped gables all over town; therefore addressing the variance. Staff suggested to allow the variance. Vick Cox made the motion to close the public hearing for #CA17-39; Chuck Voelker seconded the motion which prevailed in the following vote: Ayes: 7 (Shope, Derr, Anderson, Cox, Telford, Voelker and Ware) Nays: None April 26, 2017 HPC\Minutes\2017 3 HPC 04.26.17 Chairman Shope called for a motion; Attorney Matthew Boyle asked for the motion to include the variance. Ted Ware made the motion to approve #CA17-39 with the variance as presented and the conditions as noted; Ashley Anderson seconded the motion which prevailed in the following vote: Ayes: 7 (Shope, Derr, Anderson, Cox, Telford, Voelker and Ware) Nays: None Absent: None ..................... PUBLIC HEARING Chairman Shope opened the Public Hearing for#CA17-41 for the property located at 512 Estill Street, legally described as Block 102, Lot 4R & 5R, College Heights Addition, Grapevine, Texas and take any necessary action. Chairman Shope called on David Klempin to present the case. BACKGROUND: Certificate of Appropriateness application #CA17-41 was submitted on March 22, 2017 by the applicant, Dan Proctor, for construction of a new addition to the original 1946 Higgins-Hilliard House and a new detached two-car garage. The 1,050 square feet minimal traditional style house is rectangular in plan with a projecting front porch. This house was identified in 1998 by the Texas Historical Commission as a contributing structure to the College Heights Neighborhood of the Historic Grapevine Township District. The house is not landmarked. Plans for the new addition and outbuilding were developed to follow the updated 2013-23 updates to the Preservation Ordinance for non-landmarked buildings. The existing house measures 1,056 square feet. The front half of the original house would receive a new 2-story addition in the rear of the house. The existing house combined with the new addition would contain 3,400 square feet of living area (the maximum square feet allowed by the Preservation Ordinance). A new two-car 498 square feet detached garage would be constructed to the rear. The cabana shown on the site plan is not a part of this application, as no plans for the structure have been submitted for approval. The lot size is 21,000 square feet and the building coverage is 18.5% (less than the maximum of 40 percent coverage). RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Historic Preservation Commission approve with conditions Certificate of Appropriateness #CA17-41 for the property located at 512 Estill Street, legally described as Block 102, Lot 4R, 5R, 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: April 26, 2017 HPC\Minutes\2017 4 HPC 04.26.17 To construct a new addition as presented to the existing 1946 Higgins-Hilliard House: and construct a new two-car detached garage as per the attached plans with the condition a building permit be obtained from the Building Department. The applicant, Mr. Proctor, would like to go back to the original concept presented to the Commission in the past; with more of the original house saved. The plans as presented would be the existing house as the front half and the rear expanded to the maximum 3,400 square feet living area and a 498 square feet detached, two-car garage. The cabana shown on the plans will be presented on a separate Certificate of Appropriateness at a later date. Staff recommends approval. Chairman Shope called for the applicant to make comments. Mr. Ray Oujesky of 201 Main Street, Fort Worth, Texas 76102, came forward to present for the applicant. The applicants had provided their own PowerPoint presentation. Mr. Oujesky said the property owner would live in this house and make additions in the rear to protect the character of the existing house; he saw this as a single family home by today's standards. The left side elevation was shown first, with the setback of the addition at approximately 14 feet, but with the existing house remaining prominent. The existing great room will rise into the new addition; the existing porch will not remain as it was not an original feature, it was added in 2005. There was a proposed basement below the first floor. Vice Chairman R. Lee Derr asked to see the front elevation again as he was concerned with the mass and the amount of roof, two planes, but a lot of roof; and he was concerned with almost doubling the height. Commissioner Voelker questioned the small windows to the right on the front elevation not balancing with the larger windows to the left of the entry. Applicant Dan Proctor came forward to say the small windows were for light only and he did not want the windows to interfere with closet space. Vice Chairman Derr asked again about the roof, saying a hip roof would soften the roofline to scale with the smaller homes across the street. Commissioner Cox noted the existing hip roof was an add-on, the oldest photograph showed a shed roof as proposed. Commissioner Telford came back to discuss the windows on the right in the front elevation, saying it needed a larger window in the closet space, it needed two larger windows on the right side as the three small clerestory windows were out of symmetry. Mr. Proctor asked for a 30 by 60 window in the center; Commissioners Telford and Voelker both agreed with the one larger window as opposed to the three smaller clerestory windows. Chairman Shope asked if Mr. Proctor was okay with the one 30 by 60 window rather than the three small windows; Mr. Proctor agreed saying yes. Chairman Shope called for a motion. Margaret Telford made the motion to close the public hearing for#CA17-41; Vick Cox seconded the motion which prevailed in the following vote: Ayes: 7 (Shope, Derr, Anderson, Cox, Telford, Voelker and Ware) Nays: None April 26, 2017 HPC\Minutes\2017 5 HPC 04.26.17 Absent: None Chairman Shope called for any further discussion. Chuck Voelker said he appreciated the homeowner working with the Commission, Chairman Shope and Commissioner Telford agreed. Ashley Anderson made the motion to approve #CA17-41 with the 30 by 60 window centered on the right front elevation to replace the three small windows there, and the conditions as noted; Margaret Telford seconded the motion which prevailed in the following vote: Ayes: 7 (Shope, Derr, Anderson, Cox, Telford, Voelker and Ware) Nays: None Absent: None ..................... MINUTES Chuck Voelker made the motion to approve the minutes of the March 22, 2017 meeting; Vic Cox seconded the motion which prevailed in the following vote: Ayes: 7 (Shope, Derr, Anderson, Cox, Telford, Voelker and Ware) Nays: None Absent: None ADJOURNMENT Chuck Voelker made the motion to adjourn the meeting.
