REGULAR SESSION
REGULAR SESSION - START TIME — 7:03 P.M.
2. Discussion and Recommendation regarding a request for approval of a Re plat for The Knoll, Lot 30 R,
Block 1, being a replat of Lots 29 and 30, Block 1, The Knoll, an addition to the Town of Trophy Club,
Denton County, Texas. Owner/Applicant: William Rees.
Chairman Senelly stated that the second item on the agenda will be switched with the third item. The third item is
a request to replat two lots on The Knoll into one single lot. Senelly asked for the Planner's Report.
Matt Jones, Senior Planner stated that this is a residential replat 14-022 for The Knoll. Lot 30r Block 1. It is a replat
of two existing lots, Lot 29 and Lot 30, the applicant owns both of the lots currently. This is removing an interior
lot line to combine the lots into one lot of record for the purpose of putting in an accessory structure on that 2nd
lot. Right now our ordinance does not allow an accessory structure on the lot that does not have a primary use.
The plan is as mentioned in your staff report to eliminate that lot line, making the two lots into one, so the
applicant can build a swimming pool. They are here to speak on the item tonight. This does meet the subdivision
rules and regulations and we are recommending approval. Senelly asked the applicants if they understand that
they would no longer be permitted to build another residence on that property. Mr. Jones replied that the
applicants do understand.
Senelly asked the applicants to come forward.
APPLICANT: My name is William Rees, and my wife is Carolyn. We live at 9 Heather Glen Circle, Trophy Club,
and we have been here since November 30, 2007. As we stated, we realized when we started planning to build
the pool that we could not build a pool on the second lot without a structure. We had no plans of putting a
home there or selling the lot. We needed to have the property as part of one lot so that we could put a pool on
it. It will extend probably no more than 12 or 15 feet onto the second lot. That is the purpose of our application.
Chairman Senelly asked Commissioners for questions or comments for applicant or staff.
Questions and discussion by Commissioners:
• private street dedication
• maintenance
Chairman Senelly asked for a motion.
Motion made by Commissioner Allen, seconded by Commissioner Card, to approve the request 2014-1313-T.
Motion passed unanimously.
3. Discussion and Recommendation regarding a request for approval of a Final Plat for
the Villas of Hogan's Glen, Phase II, being approximately a 10.430 acre tract of land situated
in the J. Michael Survey, Abstract No. 821. Applicant: Jason Wight, Jones & Carter, Inc. on behalf
of Drees Custom Homes, L.P. (FP -14-062).
August 7, 2014 Minutes Page 2 of 4
Chairman Senelly deferred planning report until presentation by Applicant: Jason Wight, Jones & Carter, Inc.
Applicant, Jason Wight, Jones & Carter, Inc. on behalf of Drees Custom Homes, L.P. worked with Matt Jones, Senior
Planner, to make sure comments from last P&Z meeting were addressed. He was there asking to receive approval
of their plat. Applicant was asked to repeat comments/responses.
• label open space as HOA Open Space Lot
• add maintenance access easement on zero lot side
• correct and clarify owner's dedication
Senior Planner, Matt Jones responded that items addressed at last meeting have been corrected on the plat. The
town engineer and Jason have discussed drainage and are prepared to discuss that with you tonight.
Further discussion by applicant included:
• Drainage of the property. There are 2 drainage basins, a northern and a southern.
[southern basin] There were some potential drainage issues downstream near the golf course.
They proposed construction of a detention pond which would decrease the runoff from what it is
today in existing conditions. [northern basin] The most recent construction plans were analyzed.
Previous plans did account for developed flows. Internal drainage in street meets the current
drainage criteria.
Chairman Senelly asked Commissioners for questions or comments for applicant.
Questions and discussion by Commissioners:
• Drainage
• Fencing
• PD zoning approval: May 2000
• Maintenance access easement on zero lot side
• Lot 15, Block 2. Change 8 ft. fence to uniform 6 ft. fence
• Lot 17 drainage easement and building line
• Lot 18 curb
Applicant clarified there is no detention basin on the northern portion. The previously approved construction plans
for the adjacent subdivision account for the northern basin of their property draining into the current subdivision
at a developed rate. They are not adding more drainage area. Drainage basins are not indicated on the plat. They
are part of construction plans.
Tom Rutledge, Town Engineer, stated this final plat has been previously approved by the Planning and Zoning
Commission and it went to council. There was an issue with the east property owner about a dispute with a
boundary. The developer decided to make a shift to the west to avoid the boundary dispute. That is why the plat
has come back before the Planning and Zoning Commission again. With respect to the drainage, the engineer was
asked to look at and confirm whether this plan is consistent with the drainage areas that the existing development
downstream is currently receiving today. Tom further explains that Jason was discussing the existing drainage area
with no development. During the first review of the plans when we met with them a year ago we knew that we
have had some issues with the area that drains onto the golf course and into Indian Creek by Skyline. We told
them they could not increase the run off beyond what the developed queue was. As Jason pointed out, they gave
up some developable area and included a small detention pond. They are releasing less flow than what is there
today. The area to the North still drains into Hillside and will continue to drain as it does today.
Resident Berna Senelly requested to speak.
Chairman Senelly asked for a motion.
