The 14th neighborhood meeting was held 3/1. The discussion focused on standards for roof materials, porches, chimneys, and requirements for work reviews by the City. 

There will be one last neighborhood meeting to review the petition items, next Wednesday 3/8, 6-7:30pm at Samuell Grand. Topics include windows and a recap of the above items discussed 3/1. 

Meeting materials from all meetings may be found here: https://dallascityhall.com/departments/pnv/Pages/Lakewood-Expansion.aspx. Materials from the 3/1 meeting will be posted shortly.

In the 3/1 meeting, general consensus was reached on the following:

  • Homes which were originally noted as “non-contributing” in the Determination of Eligibility (DOE) filed by the neighborhood committee will be assigned a style in the ordinance. No homes will be listed as noncontributing. This will allow for guidelines in the instance of remodeling these homes, however these guidelines will be much broader than those for Contributing styles. The DOE can be found on the City’s website linked above & is attached.  (If you have feedback on how your home is listed – email Trevor Brown at  trevor.brown@dallas.gov ).  Homes which are not one of the  Contributing styles (French Eclectic, Spanish Eclectic, Colonial Revival, Neoclassical, Tudor) will be assigned one of the following non-contributing styles. Each of these is outlined in Virginia McAllister’s book, A Field Guide to American Houses.
    • Mid Century Modern
    • Ranch
    • Monterey
    • New Traditional (ex. modern take on one of the 5 Contributing styles such as. a Tudor built in 2013)
    • Contemporary
