REQUESTED CONDITIONAL USE, HISTORIC LANDMARK SUBDISTRICT AND
COMMENTS:
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to amend the previously approved site
plan of CU88 -05 (Ord. 88 -31) to allow the possession, storage, retail sale, and on- premise
consumption of alcoholic beverages (beer, wine and mixed beverages) in conjunction with
a restaurant. The applicant is also requestinq a Historic Landmark Subdistrict designation
for Lazy Bones restaurant.
At the August 21, 2012 public hearing the applicant presented a proposed restaurant with
seating to accommodate 180 patrons and nine on -site parking spaces. The request was
tabled to give the applicant an opportunity to address the concerns raised during the
hearing relative to on -site parking and seating.
0AZCUICU12 -31.4 & HL12 -05 1 September 11, 2012 (2:30PM)
With this modified request the applicant proposes the following changes with the bulk of
the request remaining the same:
Seating proposed:
• Previous —180 seats
• Current - 159 seats
On -site parking proposed:
• Previous — nine spaces
• Current — 15 spaces
Required parking:
Previous — 60 parking spaces
Current — 53 parking spaces
The bulk of the original request has remained the same with the applicant proposing to
construct a new 6,439 square foot restaurant (Lazy Bones). No outside speakers or
outside dining is associated with the request. The applicant's parking plan illustrates, in
addition to the on -site parking, three public parking lots located at the northeast corner of
South Main Street and Franklin Street, the northwest corner of Jenkins Street and East
Worth Street, and a lot accessed from East Texas Street or Jenkins Street providing a total
of 169 parking spaces.
In April 2012 a structure fire occurred on the subject site. The building has been
demolished due to the level of damage sustained during the fire. The Historic Preservation
Commission at their May 23, 2012 meeting approved a Certificate of Appropriateness
along with conditions on the subject site for the demolition of the fire damaged structure.
The conditions included establishing a Historic Overlay on the subject site, installing an
area on the west wall of the new structure with the original brick scored siding, a historical
plaque explaining the area, and a requirement to return to the Historic Preservation
Commission for approval for any proposed doors and windows. The Historic Preservation
Commission at their August 15, 2012 meeting adopted the preservation criteria for the
subject property addressing such issues as the setbacks, driveways, parking, exterior
finishes and other architectural embellishments to preserve the historic integrity of the
property.
On August 8, 2012 the owner submitted an application for historic landmark designation for
the property at 116 -120 East Worth Street. The property is located at the south east corner
of East Worth Street and Jenkins Street in the College Heights National Register Historic
District. This site has been a commercial property site since 1917 (95 years). The lot is one
block east of the Main Street Historic District also listed on the National Register of Historic
Places. The original site plan can be seen on 1935 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map.
0:1ZCU\CU12 -31.4 & HU2 -05 2 September 11, 2012 (2:30PM)
The original building was constructed in 1917 and was the local retail office of Wm.
Cameron & Company that was organized in 1867 and headquartered in Waco, Texas. By
1899, Wm. Cameron & Company had retail lumber yards in nearly all the major cities in
Texas and employed 3,000 men in the state. While this building appeared to be brick, it
was actually a wood frame building covered with a "brick look" composite siding.
This unusual building with a vaguely Georgian appearance served as the office building for
the lumber company. The main entrance was located in the center of the north gabled
wall. Above the entrance was a semi - circular window, centered in the gable. An
overhanging roof projected two feet beyond the walls with two foot cornice returns.
Storefront windows were located to the left and right of the doorway. Two lumber storage
sheds flanked the original office building on the east and west. Original clerestory windows
punctuated the side walls of the building.
PRESENT ZONING AND USE:
The subject property is currently zoned "CBD" Central Business District and was formerly
developed as a restaurant until a recent fire necessitated demolition of the structure.
HISTORY OF TRACT AND SURROUNDING AREA:
The subject property and properties to the north, south and west were rezoned from "C -2"
Community Business District to "CBD" Central Business District during the 1984 City
Rezoning and with the exception of the subject site and the parking lot to the north are
developed as commercial uses. The Site Plan Review Committee at their May 24, 2006
meeting approved conditional use permit (CU06 -20) on the subject site to allow for an
outdoor patio area to be used for expanded food and beverage service. The outdoor patio
allowed for an increase in seating both indoor and out from 100 seats to 110 seats, and to
decrease the off - street parking from 23 parking spaces to 21 parking spaces. Conditional
Use Request CU88 -05 (Ord.88 -31) was approved by Council at the April 19, 1988 meeting
which allowed for on- premise consumption of alcoholic beverages (beer, wine and mixed
drinks) in conjunction with a restaurant on the subject site.
The site to the east was rezoned from "C -2" Community Business District to Specific Use
Permit for the possession, storage, retail sale, and on- premise consumption of alcoholic
beverages incidental to the operation of a restaurant in accordance with the approved site
plan (Ordinance 80 -69). The site to the east was rezoned from the Specific Use Permit in
the 1984 City Rezoning to Central Business District. Conditional Use Permit CU89 -20
(Ordinance 90 -10) allowed for the sale, storage and on- premise consumption of alcoholic
beverages (beer, wine and mixed drinks only). Zone Change Request Z97 -14 and
Conditional Use Request CU97 -31 were considered at Council's July 1, 1997 meeting to
allow for a .44 acre lot immediately to the rear of the site to the east zoned "R-7.5" Single
Family District, to be utilized for parking for the existing restaurant and to allow for outside
dining at the front (north) and along the west side of the restaurant. The zone change
0:2CU =2 -31.4 & HL12 -05 3 September 11, 2012 (8:49AM)
application was approved however, the conditional use application specifically relative to
the outside dining on the patio area to the west was denied. The Site Plan Review
Committee at their August 29, 2001 meeting approved a small modification to the existing
site plan for the site to the east (CU01 -43) to accommodate upgrades to the kitchen area.
The Site Plan Review Committee at their April 24, 2002 meeting approved a conditional
use permit (CU02 -06) which amended the exterior elevations to the existing restaurant on
the site to the east and the interior seating area but with no increase in seating. The Site
Plan Review Committee at their December 17, 2003 meeting approved a conditional use
permit (CU03 -49) that simply reconsidered the previous amendments associated with
CU02 -06 that had expired with no action taken. No other changes were proposed. At the
September 6, 2011 meeting City Council approved CU11 -20 (Ord. 2011 -44) to allow
outside dining in conjunction with a restaurant on the site to the east.
SURROUNDING ZONING AND EXISTING LAND USE:
NORTH: "CBD" Central Business District — public parking lot
SOUTH: "CBD" Central Business District — commercial property
EAST: "CBD" Central Business District — Esparza's Restaurant
WEST: "CBD" Central Business District—commercial property
AIRPORT IMPACT:
The subject tract is located within "Zone A" zone of minimal effect as defined on the
"Aircraft Sound Exposure: Dallas/Fort Worth Regional Airport Environs" map. Few
activities will be affected by aircraft sounds in Zone A, except for sound sensitive activities
such as auditoriums, churches, schools, hospitals, and theaters. The applicant's proposal
is an appropriate use in this noise zone.
MASTER PLAN APPLICATION:
The Master Plan designates the subject property as a Central Business District land use.
The applicant's proposal is in compliance with the Master Plan.
THOROUGHFARE PLAN APPLICATION:
The Thoroughfare Plan does not designate East Worth Street or Jenkins Street as a local
thoroughfare.

Preface
Cameron Lumber Building
116 (120) East Worth Street, photo 2002
Lot 32 Blocks / A and i -B are located at the southeast oamer of East Worth Street and Jenkins
Street in the College Heights National Register Historic District that was designated in 1996. This
site has been a commercial property site since 1917. The lot is one block east of the Main Street
Historic District also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The original site plan can
be seen on 1935 Sanborn l=ire Insurance Map.
This unusual building with a vaguely Georgian appearance served as the office building for the
lumber company. The main entrance was located in the center of the north gabled wall. Above
the entrance was a semi - circular window, centered in the gable. An overhanging roof projected
two feat beyond the walls with two foot cornice returns. Storefront windows were located to the left
and right of the doorway. Two lumber storage sheds flanked the original office building on the east
and west. Original clerestory windows punctuated the side walls of the building (see below).

Later, this building was added on to along the east side. The original building design was
duplicated and enlarged to form a new addition. A central covered passage way was added
between the old and new structures enabling customers to enter either portion of the building. In
2000 the building was known as Ravioli's Restaurant.
A fire destroyed the Wm. Cameron & Company buildings in April 2012 creating a public safety
hazard. The building was demolished shortly after the fire occurred with the requirement that the
property be landmarked and new construction would replace the historic building that had
occupied the site for over 95 years. The building destroyed by fire was 3,772 sq. ft. The building
lot Is 16,610 sq. ft.
Block 32, Lots 1 -A and 1 -B were sold in 1917 by C. C. Estill, whose office was on Main Street and
who was also in the lumber and construction business, to Wm. Cameron & Company for a new
lumber company site.
This building, constructed ca. 1917, was the local retell office of Wm. Cameron & Company, that
was organized in 1867 and headquartered In Waco, Texas. By 1899, Wm. Cameron & Company
had retail lumber yards in nearly all the major cities in Texas and employed 3,000 meri in the
state. While this building appeared to be brick, it was actually a wood frame building covered
with a "brick look" composite siding.
Cameron Homes were built in Texas during the late 1930s through the 19608. Known as
economy homes, they offered working class citizens the opportunity to own their own modern
homes at an affordable price. Cameron Homes were built to exact specifications set by Wm.
Cameron & Company, and all plans and specifications met the Federal Housing Administratlon
and the Veteran's Administration requirements for quality materials and workmanship.
Cameron Homes were sold on "Easy To Own" plans known as ETOs. The main requirement to
quality for an ETO was that the purchaser owned his own lot outright and used it for collateral.
The Cameron Company carried the loan on the ETO plan. Home prices were presented in either
all- lumber or brick veneer designs, with prices ranging accordingly beginning at $2,070.20 for the
shell house. Monthly payments as low as $15.14 per month plus taxes and Insurance were
routinely advertised in The Grapevine Sun.

SITE
Retain the historic relationships between buildings, landscaping features and open space. Avoid
rearranging the site by moving or removing buildings and site features such as walks, drives and
fences, that help define the residence's historic value.
SETBACKS
Building setbacks should be consistent with adjacent buildings or with the style of the building.
Setbacks are an important ingredient in creating an attractive streetscape. Buildings should be
set back to a line that Is consistent with their neighbors and land use. For example, a residential
setback should retain the setback of adjacent and nearby structures, with landscaping along the
street right -of -way.
Residential buildings with a commercial use in residential areas should be set back In a manner
consistent with setbacks of neighboring or similar residential structures.
Maintain building orientation pattern, with the front facade facing the street. Maintain spacing
patterns between buildings.
ORNEWAYS, PARKING MOTS AND VACANT SITES
Driveways should be located perpendicular to the street; no circular drives shall be allowed (unless
proven with historic documentation) in front or comer side yard, so that the character of the
landscaped yard can be reinforced.
New parking lots for commercial uses should not be located adjacent to sidewalks in the district.
Off- street parking lots should not be allowed to interrupt the continuity of landscaped front or comer
side yards. This Is important to both the preservation of historic character, and to the strengthening of
the residential district.
Screen existing parking lots from streets and pedestrian areas in the Historic District. Existing parking
lots located adjacent to streets and sidewalks may be screened to the height of car hoods. This will
provide a certain level of continuity of the building fagade line; it will screen unsightly views; and It wilt
provide a level of security by allowing views to and from the sidewalk.
FENCES
Historically, fences around historic houses defined yards and the boundary around property and
gardens. Wood picket fences, wood rail fences and barbed wire or decorative wire fences were the
common fence types in Grapevine. Traditionally, picket fences surrounded the front of the house
while rail and wire fences surrounded the agricultural portions of the property, Maintain historic
fences.
New fences. Simple wood picket fences, wood and wire and wrought iron fences are appropriate.
Avoid chain -link fences, privacy fences and concrete block fences for the street sides of property.
Wood privacy fences may be allowed when installed in the rear yard and behind the front fagade of a
property. Utilitarian /privacy fences should not be Installed in front of a historic building or beyond the
line of the front fagade of a historic building.
Page 5
Replacing fences. It` replacement is required due to deterioration, remove only those portions of
historic fences that are damaged beyond repair and replace in -kind, matching the original in material,
design and placement. If replacement is necessary for non - hlstoric fences, or new fences are
proposed, locate and design the fence in such a way that will compliment the historic boundary of the
property without concealing the historic character of the property.
SERVICE AND MECHANICAL AREAS
Service and mechanical areas and equipment should be screened from the street and other
pedestrian areas.
All garbage and equipment storage areas should be screened from the street.
Mechanical equipment, including satellite dishes, shall not be located in front or comer side yards or
should be set back from the edges of roofs, and screened so that they are not visible to pedestrians
and do not detract from the historic character of buildings.
BUILDING FABRIC
PRESERVATION
Preserve, stabilize, and restore original building form, ornament and materials.
Any missing or severely deteriorated elements maybe replaced wlth replicas of the original. Ensure
that roof, window, porch and comics treatments are preserved, or when preservation is not possible
duplicate the original building element.
When rehabilitating, remove non - historic alterations.
Often, "modem" renovations conceal the original facade details. if not the original style may be
recreated through the use of historic photographs.
Where replication of original elements is not possible, a new design consistent with the original style
of the building may be used.
Reconstruction of building elements should reflect the size, scale, material and level of detail of
the original design.
Preserve older renovations that have achieved historic significance. Older structures or additions
may have, at some time, been renovated with such care and skill that the renovation Itself is
worthy of preservation. Usually, such renovations may date from before 1940.
EXTERIOR FINISHES
Original wood finishes should be maintained and painted or, when necessary, replaced in kind.
Modern synthetic siding materials such as vinyl or metal bear little resemblance to historic siding
materials. The application of such modem synthetic materials often involves the removal of original
decorative elements such as comics, corner boards, brackets, window and door trim, etc. New
synthetic siding shall not be Installed; removal of existing such materials Is not required, but strongly
encouraged, to restore historic patina, finish and appearance.
Page e
Original asbestos siding should be maintained and painted, or when necessary, replaced with
synthetic siding to match the existing asbestos siding. The removal of asbestos siding over existing
wood siding Is not required, but strongly encouraged, to restore historic Mina, finish and appearance.
Original masonry surfaces should be maintained and not be painted, unless severe deterioration of
the brick or stone can be shown to require painting. If the color or texture of replacement brick or
stone cannot be matched with existing, painting may be an appropriate treatment.
Paint colons should be complimentary to each other and the overall character of the house. When
possible, research the original paint color and finishes of the building's historic period; the right colors
respect the historic building.
The Historic Preservation Commission shall adopt, as necessary, a paint polette(s) appropriate to
the district's character, which may be proposed and approved through the Minor Exterior
Alteration application process. Any colors proposed outside the adopted palette may be reviewed
by the Commission In the regular Certificate of Appropriateness process.
WINDOWS
Original window framing and lites (panes of glass) configurations should be preserved and
maintained or replaced in kind.
When replacement is necessary, do so within existing historic opening. Replacement of non - original
windows should consider the use of historically appropriate wood windows. Use same sash size to
avoid filling in or enlarging the original opening. Clear or very slightly tinted window glass may be
used. No reflective or heavily tinted glass shall be used.
Should the owner wish to install security bars, they should be installed on the interior of windows
and doors.
Storm windows. The use of interior storm windows is encouraged. Storm windows are available
which can be installed on the interior of windows. This helps to preserve the exterior historic
character of the building.
Should stone windows need to be installed on the exterior of the historic windows, storm windows
constructed of wood and configured to match the historic sashes (I. a. one over one sashes) are
recommended.
If metal storm windows are installed, paint to blend with surrounding elements
EMBELLISHMENT
AWNINGS- CANOPIES
New awnings and canopies should not be installed above windows or doors.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Lighting is an important element in residential areas. Fixtures should be consistent with the
Page 7
historic character of the house.
Appropriate Incandescent light fixtures to the style of the district should be used.
Avoid exposed lighting of any kind unless part of a historic fixture.
NEW BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
REM
The Secretary of the Interior's guidelines for new buildings in historic districts encourage similarity
of form and materials, but not actual replication. New construction proposals and the
rehabilitation of non - historic buildings will be reviewed based on these Criteria. Judgement will be
based on the compatibility of the design within the context of the property's adjacent and nearby
historic buildings.
The design of new buildings should have key elements of the building's historic period of significance
including massing, scale, fenestration and materials.
Infill buildings should not be absolute reproductions, and appear as ciearty contemporary. Only
when a previously demolished historic Grapevine building can be accurately replicated may a
reproduction be considered.
Infill buildings between historic buildings should be similar in setback, roof form, cornice line and
materials, to one of the adjacent buildings. Relate height of new building to the heights of adjacent
structures. Avoid new buildings that tower over existing ones.
Horizontal wood siding (either novelty, tongue and groove, shiplap or equivalent) and brick are
appropriate exterior building finishes for the historic house. Fake brick or stone or gravel aggregate
materials shall never be used.
ADDITIONS TO HISTORIC BUILDINGS
Additions to historic buildings should replicate the style of the main building if possible, otherwlse
they should adhere to the general style with simplified details.
As a minimum, new additions should reflect the massing, roof shape, bay spacing, cornice lines
and building materials of the primary structure.
All new wood or metal materials should have a painted finish except on some 2& century buildings
where the use of unpainted aluminum or steel was part of the original design and should be
maintained.
A new addition should, If at all possible, be located at the rear of the historic building. If this is not
possible, the addition may be added to the side if it Is recessed at least 18 inches from the historic
building facade or a connection is used to separate old from new.
New vertical additions should be set back from primary facades so as not to be readily apparent
from the facing street.
Page 8
When reproducing elements that were originally part of a historic building they should be replicated
when evidence of the actual detail has been documented by photographs, drawings, or remaining
physical evidence. If no evidence exists, elements typical of the 'architectural style may be used.
Historic photographs can provide information on the original elements of the building.

Wm- Cameron & Company earned the loyalty of Grapevine am customexL Its "Ideal Products Co." wholesale division
offered a variety of "modern" convenience products constructed o£ high quality Ponderosa pint vAikh could be installed
in the Cameron Home. These products, manufactured in Waco, included four models of ironing boards which folded
into the wall, a bathroom cabinet with a built-in pull -down clothes hamper, and an Ideal fielephone cabinet to keep your
phone "nut of the way and alwa; s handy." With custom high quality "work zoned" cabinets which could be "scientifi-
cally arranged," Cameron set the standard fot the modem home in Grapevine.
Win. Cameron & Company built 52 homes in one year in Grapevine during the mid 1960s according to I1oyd Graves,
assistant manager from 1946 to 1986. One "Texan' model home was constructed at the comer of Main and Franklin
Streets and was purchased and later moved to Jean Street. Cameron also offered a program to completely remodel and
modernize existing homes. Men who worked for Wm, Cameron & Company adhered to rigorous Cameron building
specifications and created a generation of builders whose craftsmanship was ux►matehed. Cameron's high quality homes
from an earlier day continue to provide local housing.
In 1954 Cameron built a new lumber yard at 701 South Main (now the Grapevine Heritage Center). Wm. Cameron &
Company was purchased about that same time by the Certain -Teed Products Coxporation and ceased operation as Wm.
Cameron Company in Grapevine. The binding on East Worth Street was subsequently used for a church, cabinet shop,
children's clothing shop, and several scstaurants.
