HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 08 - McPherson Farm House MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER V-
MEETING
DATE: DECEMBER 19, 2017
SUBJECT: DECLARE PROPERTY AND HOUSE AT 420 EAST COLLEGE
STREET AS SURPLUS PROPERTY
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council consider adopting a resolution to declare the property at 420 East College
Street, along with all improvements, as surplus property, authorize the sale of said
property, and take any necessary action.
BACKGROUND:
In 1999, the Grapevine Township Revitalization Program (GTRP) purchased property at
200 S. Dooley Street. That property was divided into three lots in order to facilitate the
relocation of historic homes into the historic district. In May 2017, the GTRP moved the
historic 1886 McPherson Farmhouse from Park Boulevard to 420 East College Street for
the purposes of revitalizing the City's historic district. The GTRP has made necessary
repairs to the exterior and interior of the house to prepare it for sale.
The Grapevine Historic Preservation Commission has designated the property a Historic
Landmark Subdistrict which will ensure the appropriate rehabilitation and restoration of
the house into a private home.
Staff recommends that the Council authorize the sale of the property in accordance with
Texas law. The sale will be conducted through a sealed bid process with a minimum bid
set at $365,000. This minimum is based on current land value in the historic district and
all costs associated with moving and stabilizing the home to date. An appraisal is
currently underway and will be provided to Council along with a high bid that meets all
requirements. The entire tract of 1.19 acres was originally purchased for $310,000. The
lot where the McPherson house is located represents approximately 11,000 square feet
of the original 1.19 acres.
Staff recommends approval.
