Chairman Shope called on the property owners to come forward with their comments.
Property owners Ronnie and Michelle Park came forward with Michelle saying she was
excited as a granddaughter of Mary Stone Myers had reached out to her through
SEPTEMBER 25 HPC\Minutes\2019 4
Facebook. They said they have lived in Coppell since 1995 and have been looking in
Grapevine for the last three years and happy to now have the property Neal Cooper had
purchased for another client four years ago. Neal Cooper said Michelle and Ronnie had
been great to work with, as the plans showed the front elevation would remain very near
the same as all of the front would be preserved, the roof pitch would remain original and
the Porte Cochere would add purpose to the west side as extremely linear -but also
functional. He said the two -car garage made more sense to fill -out the elevation as the
lot is over one-half acre, Mr. Park said as a builder he needed the workshop; and the
windows would be replaced with new wood windows; they are now looking for photos of
the house when first built to replicate the original look.
Chairman Shope confirmed the setback was three (3) feet. Vice -Chair Cox asked about
the two front entries as original, Mr. Cooper said yes the sidewalk leads to the main
front entry but the second front entry would also be used. Commissioner Paula
Wilbanks inquired about the two large trees near the front door plus the one to the west
nearer the neighbor, Mr. Park said they would absolutely be keeping the beautiful trees;
Mr. Cooper said the Elm tree was near the end of life for its species.
Vick Cox moved to close the Public Hearing for #CA1 9-89; Chuck Voelker seconded the
motion prevailing in a vote of:
Ayes: 6 (Shope, Cox, Anderson, Gilliland, Voelker and Wilbanks)
Absent: 2 (Parker and Telford)
Nays: 0
Chairman Shope called for discussion. Commissioner Voelker asked how much of a
house can be rolled into a garage; this is an added 126 square feet, how much, what is
the limit? Chairman Shope said this had been looked at case by case, and this is a
large lot; Commissioner Voelker said this is deviating from the Design Guidelines. Vice
Chairman Vick Cox concurred with Commissioner Voelker saying in the future it should
be decided what is the limit.
Vick Cox made the motion to approve with conditions as presented #CA19-89; Eric
Gilliland seconded the motion prevailing in a vote of:
