CONVENE INTO PUBLIC HEARING - START TIME - 7:15 P.M.
Chip Boyd, Vice President of Land Development, Standard Pacific Homes, presented a brief overview of
requested zoning change.
Chairman Sheridan asked for staff report. Staff recommends approval.
Robert Hoch, 245 Oak Hill Drive, Trophy Club, TX 76262. 1 live directly across the golf course from the
larger of the 0.63 acres. My concern is trees and drainage. Trophy Club used to be a tree city. Now it is
a developer's heaven. Planning and Zoning is not perceived as being tough to deal with. The developers
get whatever they want. The drainage, if you've been there, is dreadful. There is stagnant water. It has
been there for months. The West Nile threat did not seem to bother anybody. The M.U.D. ran out of the
little mosquito biscuits that I was going to put in there. The Planning and Zoning should be responsible
for the tree remediation. There were lots of trees that are now gone. I've looked at the plat where it
shows all the trees that are supposedly going to be planted_ I will believe it when I see it. The developer
should be required to plant large diameter live oak trees at the edge of the property wherever it abuts the
golf course for one thing, and replace in kind the trees that they destroyed. The staff report says it does
not have a negative impact on surrounding property owners and does not represent a substantial
increase of density to the overall development. Nobody contacted me. I am a property owner. 14 going
to 16 is a substantial increase.
Erich Smith, 243 Oak Hill Drive, Trophy Club, TX 76262, directly across the Number 10 fairway from the
new development. I think Bob stated all of our concerns quite well. I think the biggest thing is that even
before the Highlands was developed there was a nice treed area, wildlife was plentiful. Now it is a
bulldozed piece of dirt. We are only asking that some of the effort be made to put trees back after they
have decided where they are going to build houses and everything else so that it does add to the beauty
of the neighborhood, like we have had before. The second thing is we didn't discuss it, it was not even
posted, when the developer came and made this statement, there are two more lots. It would be nice to
see the plot up there [on overhead monitor] and show where the two new lots are going, where the
common areas are and where the land swap took place just so we understand each other. I cannot say
have any big objections to the 0.6 acres they want to add to the plot. I think Bob's statement... that it is
right now a mess for drainage. As everybody knows a mistake was made years ago when we came in
there and the developers put in parts of the Highland along the 14th and 15th holes. We ended up with
streets higher than the golf course. And now, all of a sudden, we have a drainage problem and we
cannot drain the golf course. We do not want the same situation happening when we put in the Isle of
Turnberry over here and we end up with a development that is higher and we are not going to be able to

drain part of the golf course back into the creek because it is higher than the surrounding area. Those
are my concerns. Hopefully you will take those into consideration. Thank you.
