square feet. Building height of the house is 16’-3”. The building height of the garage is

Office LLC to replace existing broken brick paving at the property. The existing building(s)
were constructed circa 2000 when they were constructed in front of the former Winn-Dixie
Grocery Store.

The existing paving has fractured in multiple areas and is a safety and tripping hazard for
the public. The paving design will include a larger amount of poured-in-place concrete
paving. The brick pavers will be Mission Pavers (color: Red Flashed) from the Acme
Pacific Clay pavers selection of pavers, reference the color chart below. The pavers are
the same as those used at the CVB Headquarters Building at 636 S. Main St.

HPC FEBRUARY 25, 2026

Staff recommends the Historic Preservation Commission approve with conditions
Certificate of Appropriateness #CA26-10 for the property located between 601-603 S.
Main St., legally described as Block 15, Lot C, City of Grapevine to the Grapevine Historic
Preservation Ordinance 91-73 (Appendix G — Grapevine Code of Ordinances), as
amended for the following items:

1. To replace the existing and damaged brick paving with new brick pavers (Acme
Pacific Clay Mission Pavers, color Red Flashed) and concrete as indicated in the
site plan.

with the condition a building permit is obtained from the Building Department and separate
approval is obtained from the City of Grapevine Department of Public Works due to the
fact that a portion of the pavers are located on the city Right-of-Way.

The Principal Architect from Architexas, Michael Karnowski came forward to present the
plans and answer any questions. He said he has been working with the client for over a
year on this project. They have been working on internal renovation projects and now
they need to address the exterior appearance since it is important to Historic Main
Street in Grapevine. The bricks have presented safety hazards, they want to preserve
the look of the building, sidewalk and steps.

Commissioner Rhoda said she is very familiar with the disintegration of the sidewalk
bricks. She asked about the quality of the brick to confirm that the new bricks won’t
have the same issues.

Mr. Karnowski said they propose to use an actual brick designed to be used in
sidewalks. The existing brick is taking on water that freezes and thaws with the
weather. Both the property owner and the architects were shocked with the amount of
degradation of the brick.

Vice-Chairman Meyer asked about which part of the sidewalk is the City Right-of-Way.

Hugo Gardea said the building facades does not go the property line. The sidewalk is
located partially on City Right-of-way and this project would replace all the existing
bricks to the curb.

Commissioner Garcia asked about the steps to the entrances of the buildings and how
they would look. Michael Karnowski said the concrete steps would remain, they plan to
replace with matching product and they will provide a metal nose edge to each step to
show the contrast.

Vice-Chairman Meyer made a motion to close the public hearing, Commissioner Bunn
seconded the motion.
