PUBLIC HEARING
Chairman Shope declared the Public Hearing for #HL18-03 open for the property
located at 620 Estill Street, Block 103 Lot 4, College Heights Addition, City of
Grapevine, Texas, to conduct a public hearing relative to an application for a Historic
Overlay and take any necessary action.
Chairman Shope called on David Klempin to present the case.
BACKGROUND:
On November 19, 2018, applicant Neal Cooper submitted an application for Historic
Landmark Overlay #HL18-03, for property located at 620 Estill Street, City of Grapevine.
The property was vacant and was recently purchased by Neal Cooper for the purpose of
constructing a new period style house with attached garage to satisfy the request of a
new buyer.
The Historic Landmark Designation for the property included five of twelve categories of
historic significance to the City of Grapevine Historic Preservation Ordinance. The house
is located in the College Heights Addition established in 1907 when Grapevine became
an incorporated Town. The addition is a cohesive grouping of residential buildings, set
in a historically appropriate natural and man-made landscape, representative of the late
nineteenth and early twentieth century residential history of Grapevine.
The original owners were Mr. and Mrs. Gottlob Huber who built the house and lived
there for nine years. Mr. Huber was a retired farmer, born in Germany and had come to
the United States as a child. One of his sons, Herbert Huber, served on the Grapevine
City Council in the 1960s. Significant owners of the property were. W. E. (Ed) Keeling
and Grady Wood Keeling publishers of the Grapevine Sun for over 80 years. The
original house contained a large living, dining, kitchen area, one bedroom and one bath.

HPC 11.28.18
To the rear of the house, an addition was constructed after 2000 containing a large
bedroom with covered porch.
RECOMMENDATION:

Landmark Subdistrict overlay to the Grapevine Historic Preservation Ordinance 91-73
(Appendix G — Grapevine Code of Ordinances), as amended for following property
addressed as 620 Estill Street, legally described as Block 4 Lot 103, College Heights
Addition, Grapevine, Texas.
Staff recommended approval of the Historic Overlay #HL18-03 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 included in the agenda packet.
Chairman Shope called on the applicant, Neal Cooper, to speak. Mr. Cooper stated
doubts about the integrity of the property and the history of the property; Commissioner
Telford explained the Keeling family noted as significant had been the publishers of the
Grapevine Sun Newspaper for over 80 years; and the Huber family were instrumental in
the founding of Grapevine's First United Methodist Church. Mr. Cooper passed
photographs to the Commission to review 20 of the 21 homes he had built or added
additions to.

(Appendix G — Grapevine Code of Ordinances), as amended for the following items:
Nov 28 HPC\Minutes\2018 3
HPC 11.28.18
Grapevine, Texas, to conduct a public hearing relative to an application for demolition of
the house and take any necessary action.
Chairman Shope called on David Klempin to present the case.
BACKGROUND:
Certificate of Appropriateness application #CA18-112 was submitted on October 5,
2018 by the applicant Neal Cooper of Copper Street Homes to demolish the existing
house and construct a new house with an attached two -car garage. The plans for the
new house with attached garage were developed by architect Russell Moran following
Design Guidelines established for the property.
The house was originally built in 1952 for Gottlob Huber, his wife and five children.
Later significant owners include W.E. and Grady Wood Keeling, publishers of the
Grapevine Sun for over 80 years; Edward T. Simmons and Arthur Glenn Simmons,
prominent community leaders and dairy farmers in Grapevine; well-known and
respected Grapevine business leader L.W. Parker, father of Phil Parker, the owner of
Wilihoite's Restaurant and Kenneth and Laura Mae Griffin. Kenneth served in the Army
Air Corps in World War II as a B-29 flight engineer, after the Korean War he became a
police officer for the City of Dallas. Laura Mae's father, Cleve Crowley, was a member
of the Grapevine Rabbit Twister band. The study of the house for the Historic Land
marking scored five designation merits.
Historic Preservation Staff met with the applicant to develop a preservation plan
retaining the foot print of the original house, its walls, roofline and eaves. Staff was
unable, within the preservation ordinance, to agree with the owner on a demolition plan
limited to retaining the original house and adding an addition to the rear of the original
house.
Per the Preservation Ordinance, a garage attached to the main house is included in the
total living area calculation. The total living area as proposed for the house and the 462
square foot attached garage totals 3,314 square feet. The covered front porch of 51
square feet, and the new covered patio addition of 283 square feet are not to be
included in the maximum square feet (as per the Preservation Ordinance).
The property lot size is 7,000 square feet and the building coverage is 40 percent,
(maximum 40 percent lot coverage). Total building size of the proposed house and the
attached garage is 3,314 square feet (within the ordinance maximum of 4,100 square
feet). Building height is 29 feet.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommended denial of Certificate of Appropriateness #CA18-112 as per the
attached plans with no agreed upon demolition plan submitted for the preservation of
the original front fagade walls, roofline and eaves.
Nov 28 HPC\Minutes\2018 4
HPC 11.28.18
The Preservation Ordinance protects the existing original homes of the Historic
Township. The Commission has favored the addition to the rear of Historic Township
homes; but to maintain the original integrity and streetscape recognizable as the original
house.
Chairman Shope called on the applicant, Neal Cooper, to speak. Mr. Cooper stated
doubts about the integrity of the property saying he had done his due diligence; he had
done 21 houses in the Township; landmarked 20 properties; had 75 percent attendance
at the Commission's meeting; was a member of the Board of Appeals; and probably
holds the most researched information of the Township, and did not understand not
demolishing the existing house. The preservation of the original house, to incorporate
into the new house, would not be satisfactory to his customer/client.
The Commissioners questioned seeing any preservation of the original house for the
streetscape, Mr. Cooper said he had written the proposa. Commissioner Telford asked
to retain parts of the original structure, Mr. Cooper said it does not always work out to
save, as in this particular case. Council Liaison Paul Slechta noted he and the
commissioners were all familiar with the quality of his work and commended him for it —
but this house was not in disrepair to demolish. The Commission called on Mr. Cooper
to incorporate the existing house into his work for this property.
Chairman Shope stated he gave Mr. Cooper all the credit for his execution of advocacy;
he called for a motion.
Margaret Telford moved to close the Public Hearing for #CA18-112; Jason Parker
seconded the motion prevailing in a vote of:
Ayes: 7 (Shope, Anderson, Gilliland, Parker, Telford, Voelker and Wilbanks)
Absent: Cox
Nays: (None)

items and take any necessary action.
Chairman Shope called on David Klempin to present the case.
BACKGROUND:
Certificate of Appropriateness application #CA18-122 was submitted on October 23,
2018 by the applicant Neal Cooper of Copper Street Homes to remodel the existing
house, at 514 East Texas Street preserving the existing streetscape view; to construct a
new addition with a partial second floor to the rear of the house; to construct a new 465
square foot detached two -car garage; with a connecting breezeway; and covered patio.
The new owners, Chuck and Lisa Pacioni, desire to adapt the house to serve as a home
for their family. The plans were designed by Architect Russell Moran.
Historic Preservation Staff met with the applicant and owner to review plans for these
changes. The total living area of the existing 1,576 square foot house with the proposed
1,177 square foot addition totals 2,753 square feet. This is within the 3,400 maximum
square feet established by the Preservation Ordinance. The proposed covered porch,
new patio and walkway would total 352 square feet and are not to be included in the
maximum square feet, per the Preservation Ordinance.
The property lot size is 10,497 square feet and the building coverage is 28.2%
(maximum 40% lot coverage). Total building coverage would be 3,570 square feet to
include the 2,753 square foot house; 465 square foot detached garage; and the 352
square foot covered porch, patio and walkway areas (within the ordinance maximum of
4,100 square feet). Building height is 24 feet.

second floor; to construct a 465 square foot detached two -car garage with a connecting
breezeway and a covered patio at the rear of the house as per the attached plan and
drawings with the condition a building permit be obtained from the Building Department.

use, Mr. Cooper said it was only decorative.
