Now, we embrace the grape cluster as our city logo, so, it is our brand. a About 60%of business on Main Street between Northwest Hwy and Dallas Road today is Retail. The balance being Restaurant or Service Business, with Winery Establishments bringing up the rear. So, yes, we are all about small business from the Owners of Property,to Retail,to Restaurants, to Wineries. ® 1 do support and urge the Approval of the zoning before us this evening regarding 406 S Main St. I will share a common wall with the Miller Family,the respected Heath Family, as well as their renowned Grape Creek Winery. 0 In recent months, property owners on Main Street have been maligned in all forms of Press as being "Greedy Lords". in my decades on Main Street, I've never known a Lord. MAY 15 2025 • We need strong lessee's and strong businesses on Main Street that can make a profit and bring even more excitement to Main Street even as a destination. Grape Creek Winery,the Heath Family Brand, can do this. • in closing, my wife and I purchased property in 1998 on Main Street. At that time, our Property Insurance was$895 annually. Today,the same coverage is over$14,000 annually, coupled with increased taxes and employee cost, etc., indeed we need strong businesses of every nature. • Thank you, Planning/Zoning members, Council, and Mayor,for supporting yet another trusted small business addition to Main Street.

I've seen Main Street change, and I know a great addition when I see one. Grape Creek Winery isn't just another wine spot; it's a draw that brings a new vibe to Main Street. Picture this: You're strolling down Main Street, and instead of the same old routine, you step into Grape Creek Winery. Suddenly, you're in Tuscany. The air smells like oak barrels and ripe grapes. You're holding a glass of award-winning wine made right here in Texas Hill Country. More foot traffic means more business for everyone. People tasting Grape Creek's 200+ away inning wines aren't just sipping--they're shopping, eating, and spending in Grapevine and not other cities. Let's face it—Grapevine already has the wine reputation. Why not level it up with a winery that brings a touch of Tuscan class to our historic strip? Its a win for the city, a win for the residents, a win for visitor's to Grapevine, and a win for every business that thrives off a bustling Main Street Let's toast to that!

Sincerely, Leslie Cave 18 year employee of Good Things For All Seasons & retired GCISD teacher 8628 Twisted Oaks Way North Richland Hills, TX 76182 i May 13, 2025 Dear Grapevine City Council Members, Imagine a harmonious blend of Grapevine's historic charm with the Tuscan elegance of Grape Creek Winery--a fusion poised to elevate Grapevine's cultural and economic landscape. I am writing you as an advocate for the continued enrichment of our beloved Main Street and as a supporter of Grape Creek Winery. Walking into Grape Creek Winery on in Street will feel like stepping into a Tuscan villa, where the air is rich with the scent of aging wine barrels and the warmth of a family-run vineyard founded in 1983. Guests will experience a nod to the 25 acres of Texas Hill Country vines that have earned Grape Creek over 200 awards. The tasting room invites guests to savor Bordeaux and Italian-style blends while soaking in the stories behind each sip, transforming every glass into a taste of Italy right in the heart of Main Street Grapevine. Visitors to Grape Creek often share sentiments like: "The ambiance is unparalleled—a slice of Tuscany in Texas. The wines are exceptional, and the staffs passion is evident in every pour." Grape Creek Winery will be a powerful addition to Main Street Grapevine, bringing a touch of Tuscan elegance that elevates the city's cultural and economic appeal while aligning perfectly with Grapevine's reputation as the premier wine destination in Texas. Grape Creek not only draws wine enthusiasts and tourists but also enhances the area's historic charm with its signature European-inspired ambiance. Their commitment to local sourcing and curated wine experiences will increase foot traffic, support surrounding businesses, and offer visitors a refined, memorable destination that strengthens Main Streets status as a must-visit location in Texas. Approving Grape Creek Winery's move to Main Street Grapevine is more than a business decision; its a commitment to enhancing the quality of life for our residents and visitors alike. This opportunity will further solidify Grapevines reputation as a premier destination.

Sincerely, lor 11 tj 1 1 5-14-25 Grapevine City Council Members and Planning and Zoning Commissioners: We are writing in support of the proposed Grape Creek Winery tasting room at 406 S Main St. Grape Creek is a well-established winery with 3000 members within a thirty mile radius of Grapevine. That said, the winery would encourage them to visit our town and local business's. We feel well-established businesses like Grape Creek don't come around every day, and would enhance Grapevines wine experience (which the city does promote) in a responsible and respectful way. As Grapevine residents, we would like for you to approve their conditional use permit. Thank You, Russell and Laura Kidd c& May 13, 2025 HAND DELIVERED Mayor William D. Tate Honorable Council Members Planning and Zoning Commission City of Grapevine Re: Case CU-25-11 Conditional use request for a Winery to be located at MAY 14 2025 406 S. Main Street, Grapevine,Texas Gentlemen and Ladies: Do I remember the downtown of Grapevine 50 years ago?Yes I do and actually those memories go back 62 years ago. I remember when First National Bank was the only bank in town, and I hand delivered bank statements to downtown merchants. Our downtown has changed over the years and most of that change has been good. I remember the pride I had in the city when I looked out from atop the Hotel Vin and got a bird's eye view of what an excellent job the City Council and Planning and Zoning Board has done laying out our city. The recent hubbub about the tenant wanting to go into the old City Drug building does concern me. I truly don't understand why people feel a winery would be a bad choice. I am in support of allowing the winery to occupy the space at 406 South Main. Grapevine has been doing a. fantastic job promoting "the fruit of the vine" for many decades and it would seem this falls right in step with our own vision. I hear we even have festivals promoting Texas wine. I've spent a lot of my own time volunteering at those festivals and have poured a lot of Texas wine myself. I believe that if a property owner has invested the time and money to acquire and preserve the structural integrity of one of our grand old historical buildings, then that person deserves the right to lease to a tenant of their choosing as long as it complies with the current zoning. Wineries are allowed in our central business district. I know that some want to see the building put to another use. Facebook is full of suggestions from people who have no skin in the game but seem to have strong opinions on what the owner should do. We each have our right to our opinions but only if we put our money where our mouth is. Grape Creek Vineyards will bring foot traffic and tourists to Main Street. This only brings more business for the surrounding merchants already on Main Street. These Grape Creek folks are not new to the wine industry. They were founded in 1983 . They WANT to come here. They SEE the opportunity in Grapevine. I've heard all the gossip about "the market isn't right for another winery." Only time will tell that, and we must consider that some of these wineries may not have made it because the liquid they sold was a close match for lighter fluid. We owe it to a person to let then try to succeed. If Grapevine does not prove to be the market they thought it CU 25-11 Conditional use Winery 406 South Main Street,Grape Creek Vineyard would be then they may choose to leave. However, Grapevine Main Street has not been known for staying empty long. It is a prime location. I hope that the Council and Planning and Zoning Commission will vote in support of the request made by Grape Creek Vineyards. The question you must ask yourself is "do you have any skin in the game?"A property owner deserves the right to try. It is not the right of the citizens to control what a property owner does with their property as long as the owners are following the rules. Thank you for your time in considering my thoughts.

This change would contribute toa growing imbalance and shift the character of the area even further away from family-friendty, daytime retail that supports local tourism, to a nightlife-oriented business that primarily draws traffic in the evening hours. Addingyet another winery moves the Main St area away from it's small town charm with mom and pop shops and restaurants. The winery market is already saturated in Grapevine, especially the Main Starea. Lastly, the new owners have no ties to the City of Grapevine, they do not know the neighborhood, the people or even the leadership of Grapevine and all the hard work that's been done over the years to make Grapevine what it is today. They are coming in with grandeur visions that are self-serving to her social status instead of what's best for the city and the historic Main St. They drove out an existing Long-term tenant with outrageous lease rates. These rates could potentially entice other owners to do the same and drive out more of these long standing mom and pop shops that have been on Main St for a very tong time. Unsustainable Lease rates for small business owners will simply cause many more vacant buildings on Main St and less tourism. I sincerely hope this wonderful city thinks this through and continues to make the right decision for its historic charm. Grapevine is known for being Grapevine and more wineries will cause it to lose its identity and simply be known oo another"FrederiCkSbu[g". Please keep this rezoning request from passing. Sincerely, Avery concerned citizen and supporter of small businesses. 1 To City Council Members. My name is Jerry R. Delaney, and I am the f ounder and owner of the first winery and vineyard in Grapevine, Tx. While my winery has since closed, my investment in this community, and particularly in the character and future of our historic downtown, remains strong. The purpose of this letter is to voice my opposition to the proposed wine tasting room in the heart of downtown. Let me be clear, I am not against wine, and I am certainly not against small businesses. But I am concerned about the directions we are taking, and I believe this proposal reflects a broader issue that needs to be addressed. Downtown is supposed to be a vibrant, balanced mix of uses, retail, restaurants, services, and yes, even tasting rooms. But over the past few years, we have seen a steady shift. Wine tasting rooms have proliferated, replacing diverse retail spaces with a single type of business that originally intended for retail, a designation that helps maintain a sense of balance, accessibility and year-round utility for residents. This is not about one more tasting room, it is about the long-term health and identity of our downtown. Each time we approve of another alcohol- based business in retail-designated spaces, we lose a bit of what makes our downtown unique, welcoming, and usef ul to the f ull range of our community. I urge you to consider the cumulative impact of these decisions. Let's protect our downtown's diversity of use and ensure that it remains a place where both locals and visitors can shop, connect, and experience more than just wine. nk youE your time. r R.

Erin Gilmore 1 Erica Marohnic From: Sent: Friday, May 9, 2025 6:54 AM To: Erica Marohnic Subject: Zoning proposal Good Morning Erica, I am writing to oppose the zoning request to convert the property at 406 S. Main Street from a retail use to a winery. As a winery owner with a tasting room across from this property, our business will continue to be diluted by the continual opening of tasting rooms in Grapevine. The vision and planning that has guided Main Street Grapevine to success thus far is not considered in this zoning request. Business for all the wineries in Grapevine has declined in the past 2 years and continues to struggle. I would suggest asking any owner and you will hear the same comments. Grapevine has a good balance of retail, services, dining and wineries, and adding more tasting rooms will upset that balance. I am hearing from merchants, as well as residents of Grapevine, that this is not what they want for downtown. Please do not pass this zoning request. I am certain there are many retail and specialty businesses out there that would thrive in this location. Thank you David Besgrove Grape Vine Springs Winery 214-502-4885
