Assistant City Manager, Adrienne Lothery presented a property assessment
presentation for the Bidault House and Webb House which was previously shared
with the City Council and the Historical Preservation Committee. In August of
2017, Hidell and Associates Architects were engaged to conduct an assessment of
the Bidault House and the Webb House. The presentation provided assessments
of the properties’ current conditions, structural integrity, building system, finishes,
and layout. Estimated cost of repairs and different scenarios associated with
public use of these structures were provided.
BIDAULT HOUSE:
There were two scenarios presented for usage:
Museum for public education

Parks and Recreation Advisory
Board DRAFT MINUTES October 2, 2017
Tea Room (private owner – commercial use)
Small Parties
Requirements for repairs and modifications for usage for public occupancy will
require specialized attention in the following areas (details in presentation package
that Adrienne Lothery presented):
Plumbing
Parking – Presently no parking available
Historical Designation Requirements
Zoning (SUP)
Buffer Wall
Landscape
ADA Requirements
The Cost: Site Cost - $98,950
Structure Cost - $121,660
Engineering Fees - $20,000
Total Estimated Project Cost - $240, 610
Several questions were asked by the Board:
How long has the City owned the Bidault property? Mayor Newton – Approx.
2011
Why did the City purchase the property? Adrienne Lothery – It belonged to
a citizen of Colleyville and the Historical Preservation Committee and City
Council voted to keep it for historical purposes. Texas Historical Designation
in 1980.
What is it used for now? Adrienne Lothery - Nothing at the present.
Preserved for family photos, etc. Looking for recommendations for future
usage from citizens.
Why do you need an 8 ft. masonry wall? Adrienne Lothery – Requirement
from the land development code when a commercial usage is in a residential
area.
Why don’t we let the interested party purchase the land? Mayor Newton -
Mayor and Council wants to keep for historic reasons. One of the ideas for
usage is a museum, as we have a Colleyville citizen with a large collection of
great historic pieces. Adrienne Lothery – the interested party added
stipulations to the purchase that would be a cost to the City and a minimum
of 20 parking spaces would be required (which will not fit in the building
area).

Can we use the facility to rent out for small parties? Mayor Newton – Yes,
this is one of the ideas for this facility.

occupancy of 38-48 people.
What is the acreage of the facility? Adrienne Lothery - .8 Acres
Is there any other place for historical education? - Adrienne Lothery - Not at
the present.

Adrienne Lothery discussed in detail the present restroom usage outside the
building. “The restroom is located at grade, below the finished floor of the existing
home structure. To use the restroom, the public is required to exit the structure,
and walk, without benefit of a cover (canopy roof) to the restroom. For many
public occupancy uses, this path of travel to a restroom violates code
requirements.” Suggested options from Hidell Associates Architects, Inc. included
a new ADA unisex restroom (one design included one and the other two). Also, a
cost to demo the existing detached restroom (safety reasons).
Adrienne Lothery stated the current fencing seems to create an indication that you
can’t enter into the Webb House. Property yard adjustments need to be done.
Questions asked by the Committee:
Is there a kitchen? Heather Dowell – There is a small kitchen (not a full
kitchen).
Is it open when there is no function? Heather Dowell – No, the building is
locked.
What is the occupancy of the Webb House? Adrienne Lothery – Approx. 30-
40.
Will there be additional annual costs for maintenance? Adrienne Lothery –
operating costs will be minimal. The property will not be staffed on a regular
basis. Heather Dowell – currently landscaping upkeep, and climate control
to make sure everything is working.
What are some of your ideas for the future of the Webb House? Adrienne
Lothery - Hopefully, in the future, there will be a Bransford Trail connecting
to the Cotton Belt?
Ideas include – Pumpkin Patch, Garden, Programming Opportunities,
Christmas lighting, Farmers Market (one is already coming to Colleyville).
Heather – right now the Webb House is being used for bridal shots, family
pictures, group pictures, etc.
What about the budget? Mayor/Adrienne – consideration already
programmed in the 2018 budget.
What are the next steps? Adrienne – City Council will schedule a
worksession for further discussion. We were trying to get as much citizen
input as possible.
