March 28 2012 O:HPC\Minutes\2012 1 HPC 03.28.12 PUBLIC HEARING Chairman Burl Gilliam opened the Public Hearing for CA12-11 for the property at 1331 West Wall Street. The property is owned by Jim and Martin O'Conner. Chairman Gilliam asked David Klempin to present the case. Certificate of Appropriateness application #CA12-11 was submitted on March 16, 2012 by the applicants Jim and Martin O'Conner for the historic H. H. Yancy Farmhouse. Plans for the site include subdividing the existing historic H. H. Yancy Farmhouse property, rezone the southern portion of the property to create two R-7.5 single family lots for the construction of two new homes, create two PO professional office lots, one which would contain the historic H. H. Yancy Farmhouse and to restore the exterior of the H. H. Yancy Farmhouse and adaptively reuse its interior to serve as professional office space. The Yancy farmhouse was constructed in 1897 for the H. H. Yancy family. Mrs. Yancy was the daughter of T. J. and Elizabeth Nash. Some of the house details and features resemble those found at the Nash Farmhouse. This property has remained unoccupied since 2004. In 2006 this site was considered for relocation of the Lucas Funeral Home. That proposal was later defeated due to community opposition from residents of the adjacent neighborhood. David Klempin noted Jim and Martin O'Conner were custom home builders with the ability to do this project and had brought forward excellent plans. David noted the plans show a lot of open space, allowing the property to still appear as a farmstead. He added the name Yancy Farmstead Offices would preserve the importance of the property. (H. H. Yancy had married one of the Nash daughters. Originally the farm extended all the way to College Street as it joined the Nash Farm.) Staff recommends approval of #CA12-11 for the project as submitted following the City of Grapevine's Design Guidelines established for the property with conditions that all plans, materials, doors windows and paint colors be approved under separate Certificate of Appropriateness. Staff recommends the Historic Preservation Commission approve with conditions Certificate of Appropriateness #CA12-11 for the property located at 1331 West Wall Street, legally described as Block 1, Dellwood Acres Addition to the Grapevine Historic Preservation Ordinance 91-73 (Appendix G — Grapevine Code of Ordinances), as amended for the following items: 1.

Yancy Farmhouse and adaptively reuse its interior to serve as professional office space; with the condition that all plans, materials, doors windows and paint colors be approved under a separate CA. Chairman Gilliam called on Jim and Martin O'Conner to speak. Jim O'Conner spoke on keeping the property's historic motif to be seen very clearly. He said potentially there would be two relative small office buildings for a doctor or accountant. The second property would have a similar historic look by using a picket fence or windmill. He said it would take some work to restore to original historic look. The two rear lots are proposed for similar size homes as now in the area, with one facing on to Pebble Brook Drive. Vice-Chair Lee Derr asked if the property was landmarked with a historic overlay to be able to use crushed granite or other angular materials that could provide better drainage. Lee and Ted Ware agreed the historic look is preferred for appearance and drainage. Mrs. Marshall, a neighbor of the proposed property, asked where the driveway would be in an effort to clear out the now current blind spot for traffic. Jim answered yes, the thick scrub brush would be cleaned out with a sidewalk to connect with the existing walkway. Chairman Gilliam asked for further questions. Sean Shope asked if the property would have a historic marker and noted that it should. Ted Ware stated he was happy to see this property come forward, only the preliminary hearing, but good to see it come forward. Chairman Gilliam called for other comments and with no further discussion he called for a motion to close the public hearing. Margaret Telford made the motion to close the hearing. Lee Derr seconded the motion which prevailed in the following vote: Ayes: Gilliam, Derr, Anderson, Shope and Ware Nays: None Absent: Justin Powers Chairman Gilliam called for a motion or further discussion. Lee inquired to Lot 3, plans or elevations will have to be submitted; but the proposed will need to blend in with the Pebble Brook Drive neighborhood. He continued the current backyards fencing and walks to maximize, but not infringe upon privacy. Sean added the historic marker was necessary to recognize the Yancy family home; Margaret Telford and Ted Ware agreed saying at our expense (not the applicant's expense) adding it also should have the Grapevine Historical Society medallion. March 28 2012 O:HPC\Minutes\2012 3 HPC 03.28.12 Margaret Telford made a motion to approve #CA12-11 with separate CA's to sub- divide and rezone the south lots, with all materials, stone, windows and doors would be approved by a Certificate of Appropriateness.

Legally described as Block 24, Lot 1, to the Grapevine Historic Preservation Ordinance 91-73 (Appendix G — Grapevine Code of Ordinances). Chairman Gilliam called on David Klempin to present the case. David Klempin said the Certificate of Appropriateness application #CA12-12 was submitted on March 16, 2012 by the applicant Mike Wright of Wright Architects for the construction of a new two-car garage and wood deck in the rear yard and conversion of the existing one-car garage at the side of the house into a port cochere to provide access to the rear yard from College Street. The J. C. "Jake" and Faye Long Greener House was constructed for Grapevine's first fire chief. The house is important for its association with a person of significance to Grapevine's history and as an excellent example of a Ranch style house constructed in Grapevine in the first decade after the end of World War ll. The plans have been prepared by the architect M. J. Wright following the design guidelines established for the property. Staff recommends approval of #CA12-12 for construction of the garage conversion, new two-car garage and deck with the conditions that all exterior materials, windows, doors and paint colors be approved under a separate Certificate of Appropriateness. The applicant Mike Wright and the Project Manager David Gomez were present to discuss the problem of parking with no legal parking and no more spaces. With the conversion of the existing one-car garage at the side of the house into a port cochere to provide access to the rear yard with new construction of a two-car garage and access from College Street. David Klempin noted the garage was now three feet from the boundary line, saying it must be five feet from boundary. David said the new garage had a nice proportional relationship with the main house and neighboring homes.
