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 City of Colleyville Page 2 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). City of Colleyville Page 3 Parks and Recreation Advisory Board DRAFT MINUTES October 2, 2017 Can we use the facility to rent out for small parties? Mayor Newton – Yes, this is one of the ideas for this facility. What is the square ft. of the building? Adrienne Lothery – 1200 sq. ft. – 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. WEBB HOUSE: Webb House is connected to the Cotton Belt Trail. The building is in relatively good condition. Suggestions for usage: Trail Stop Public Meetings Small Parties Modification and repair requirements include (details included in package Adrienne Lothery presented): Lead based paint handling ADA Requirements Fencing Restrooms Modifications Cost – Two cost associated with this property includes: Trail Stop - Site Cost - $33,000 Structure Cost - $152,426 Engineering Fees - $20,000 Total Estimated Cost - $205,426 Public Use & Meetings – Site Cost - $33,000 Structure Cost- $110,426 Engineering Fees - $15,600 Total Estimated Cost - $159,026 City of Colleyville Page 4 Parks and Recreation Advisory Board DRAFT MINUTES October 2, 2017 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.
