Chairman Shope called on David Klempin to present the case. BACKGROUND On February 1, 2018, applicant Neal Cooper of Copperstreet Homes submitted an application for Historic Landmark Overlay #HL18-01, for property located at 221 Austin Street, City of Grapevine. The property is a vacant lot and was recently purchased by Nick and Courtney Gesualdi for the purpose of constructing a new period style house to serve as a home for their family. The College Heights Addition was established in 1907 when Grapevine became an incorporated Town. It is a significant part of the Original Town Residential Historic District which is a cohesive grouping of residential buildings, set in a historically appropriate natural and man-made landscape, representing the late nineteenth and early twentieth centurys residential history of Grapevine. This vacant lot was originally part of Lot 1 and Lot 2 of the College Heights Addition. The first owner of Lot 1 in 1909 to 1946 was Pleasant Franklin Sanders. Pleasant Franklin Sanders was born in Tazewell, Tennessee in 1854, and came to Texas by wagon train in 1872. After coming to Texas, the Sanders family did not migrate again and the years brought the intermarriage of the Corbin, Harrison and Sanders families. February 28 HPC\Minutes\2018 2 HPC 02.28.18 The second owner of Lot 1 in 1946 was Kenneth E. Griffin. Kenneth married Laura Mae Crowley, the daughter of Cleve and Cornelia Berry Crowley. Cleve Crowley was one of the Grapevine Rabbit Twisters who played on WBAP Radio Station. Laura Mae and Kenneth eventually moved to Aubrey, Texas; Dennis Roberts became the trustee of this property. Mr. Roberts was a beloved Grapevine businessman, donor and volunteer. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of Historic Overlay #HL18-01 to record the history of the property and to allow the Historic Preservation Commission to have input in the future development of the property. A set of the proposed Design Guidelines for the property were attached to the agenda packet. Chairman Shope called for the owners, Nick and Courtney Gesualdi, to speak, they were not present; he called on the applicant Neal Cooper to speak, Mr. Cooper declined.

Chairman Shope called on David Klempin to present the case. BACKGROUND: Certificate of Appropriateness application #CA18-05 was submitted on January 24, 2018 by the applicant Scott Buchanan of Buchanan Design Studio, for the new property owner Ms. Tina Moore, for the construction of a new one-story period style addition to the east side of the existing house. The Forbes House is a significant historic structure, from the Grape Vine Prairie, relocated in the College Street Residential Historic District in 1999. The College Street Historic District represents the town's residential growth from the early 19th century through the early 20th century. February 28 HPC\Minutes\2018 3 HPC 02.28.18 The proposed addition to the house would contain a new one -car attached garage with an enclosed direct access connection to the existing kitchen. The proposed plans for the new addition were developed following the 2013-23 Preservation Ordinance and the Design Guidelines established for the property. The existing house contains 2,205 square feet of living area with a footprint of 1,406 square feet on the first floor and 799 square feet on the second floor. The proposed addition would contain 478 square feet. Per the preservation ordinance, an "attached" garage is considered living space and is to be counted within the maximum 3,400 square feet allowed; the attached garage addition brings the total square feet of the house to 2,683 square feet of living space, within the maximum allowed. Porches are not included in the square feet maximum. The property lot size is 11,544 square feet, with the proposed building coverage is 19% (maximum 40% coverage). RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of #CA18-05 for construction of the new attached one -car garage addition as per the attached plans with the conditions a building permit is obtained from the Building Department and all exterior materials and finishes, doors and door hardware, and exterior light fixtures be staff approved under a separate Certificate(s) of Appropriateness. The owner preferred a garage connected to her home; the extended brackets and exposed rafter tails were discussed. Commissioner Margaret Telford asked about the fencing, the fencing was complete.
