Mr. Jolliff said that speed bumps had been studied for Homestead as well as a traffic signal at Ball and Homestead. The City of Grapevine does not use speed bumps. It would likely be a hard sell for all Homestead neighborhood to agree to install them on Homestead. We could propose Homestead be included in the school zone that surrounds Cannon Elementary. This would involve flashing lights and signs for the school zone area. Regarding parking, Cody said we have 33 parallel parking spaces on Homestead along the Farm. Now that we have daily operations at the farm, more daily parking is needed. Many times people are parking loosely along the street, and not maximizing the spaces. We could propose to stripe the parking spaces to encourage efficient use of the spaces. The Nash Farm committee could work with the neighborhood to determine the best approach to improve the circulation and the parking. Paul 2 GHF April 20, 2022 20 April 2022 McCallum said the board could make a decision to work with the City regarding a school zone, parking signs and striped parking. Vice Chairman Melva Stanfield made a motion for Historic Preservation staff to work with the City and neighborhood regarding a school zone for the Homestead area and parking striping along Homestead. The motion was seconded by Wendy Nelson. The motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: 8 (Ratliff, Stanfield, Wright, Perkins, Franks, Fray, Jensen, Nelson) Nays: 0 None Vice Chairman Melva Stanfield called on David Klempin to report on a Grapevine Heritage Foundation Scholarship for the GCISD Education Foundation. David said we were contacted by the GCISD Education Foundation to see if we would fund a GHF Scholarship for the current year. The Scholarship was to encourage students pursuing agricultural, historic and architectural studies. David said GHF had not funded the Scholarship during the pandemic. Money would have to be raised in order to fund the Scholarship. The feeling of the board was that a Scholarship should not be offered this year. Discussion followed. Sue Franks made a motion to discontinue the GHF Scholarship. Dr. Curtis Ratliff seconded the motion. The motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: 8 (Ratliff, Stanfield, Wright, Perkins, Franks, Fray, Jensen, Nelson) Nays: 0 None Vice Chairman Melva Stanfield called on David Klempin to present a report on National Preservation Month activities for May 2022.
