the Northeast and Northwest sites already presented.
Staff suggests the following:
• For lot type 7, add the following language:
Architectural Feature: Each structure shall be designed to have
the appearance of a single-family residential structure.
• Incorporate examples of the architectural styles of the single-family
residential structures.
Specifically related to the Traffic Impact Analysis, the Town has hired an
independent, third party, Innovative Transportation Solutions Inc. (ITS), to review
the TIA from Carter & Burgess. Both the ITS Review of the Traffic Impact Analysis
and the Carter & Burgess TIA are provided with this packet, as a separate drop
in and a separate download on the Town’s website.
Community Development Department:
Development And Design Standards - Staff Comments in Italics
A. Street Types:
1. Trophy Club Drive (C4D – Major Collector, Divided, 90’ Right-of-Way).
Classification: Designed to handle the large volumes of traffic from one
area of Town to another and to serve as the major point of ingress/egress
to the Town. Direct residential driveway access is not allowed.
Meets Trophy Club Design Standards
2. Minor Collector (C2U – Minor Collector, 60’ Right-of-Way)
Classification: Designed to carry neighborhood traffic to the major
collectors. Direct residential driveway access is permitted, but not
encouraged.
Meets Trophy Club Design Standards
3. Local Street (L2U – Local Street, 50’ Right-of-Way)
Classification: Designed to provide access to residential areas.
Meets Trophy Club Design Standards
4. Local Two – Way Court, 40’ Right-of-Way.
Classification: Designed to provide access to residential areas. Use of this
street section is restricted to single loaded streets adjacent to open
space.
Meets Trophy Club Design Standards with the exception of the overall
Right-of-Way width. Because this road is adjacent to green space that will
be dedicated to the Town, a Parkway/Right-of-Way is not required on the
green space side. This configuration meets the intent of the design
standards and will allow for any needed future underground access.
5. Local One – Way Court, 35’ Right-of-Way.
Classification: Designed to provide driveway access for homes facing
Trophy Club Drive. Street is single loaded and has an open space buffer
between the street and Trophy Club Drive. Number of lots served by this
street section shall be limited to 30.
Trophy Club Design Standards do not address single loaded one-way
streets. However, the proposed street width does meet fire access road
requirements. Staff recommends that the required curb radii, minimum
centerline radius, and minimum tangent between curves for this type of
roadway be left to the platting process where our engineers can model
the individual applications to ensure adequate emergency access is met
in an aesthetically appealing manner. Staff also agrees that an
alternative method of paving such as Grasscrete would be an acceptable
method of achieving up to 4’ of the required roadway width for fire access
if limited to the greenspace side of the roadway where parking is not
allowed. Acknowledging potential future design improvements in this
type of product, staff recommends that the final approval on the type of
alternate surface used for this application be made during the platting
phase instead of specifying a material in the zoning ordinance.
Additional information about this type of product and its application can
be found at http://www.grasscrete.com/ or
http://www.bomanite.com/products/grasscrete.htm.
The following two pictures show actual Grasscrete implementations.
6. Alley
Classification: Designed to provide driveway access for residential rear entry
homes. Permitted for Lot Types 5, 6, and 7 only.
Trophy Club Design Standards do not address or allow for alleys.
Residential alleys are not intended to be used as fire apparatus access
roads and are therefore not required to meet the 24’ minimum width for fire
access roads. Should alleys be allowed, staff recommends that it be noted
that all roads including alleys must be built in accordance with Town
construction standards to ensure longevity and reduce future maintenance
costs.

2. Architectural and Site Design Standards:
a. Building Walls and Roofs
1) An expression line shall delineate divisions between floors
of all buildings, and a cornice shall delineate the tops of
facades that do not utilize a pitched roof.
2) All buildings shall be designed such that no mechanical
equipment (HVAC, etc.) and satellite dishes are visible
from the public right-of-way or open space, whether the
equipment is located on the ground, exterior walls or the
roof. To screen rooftop mechanical equipment, other
appurtenances, and flat or built-up roofs, all structures
having a 6,000 square feet or less footprint shall be
constructed with a pitched roof. Those structures having a
footprint greater than 6,000 square feet shall be
constructed with either a pitched or parapet roof system
enclosed on all sides.
3) Mansard roofs and flat membrane-type roofs that are
visible from ground level are prohibited.
4) For retail storefronts, a transom, display window area and
bulkhead at the base shall be utilized.
5) Ground floor retail building plate heights should provide for
at least fourteen feet (14’) in height.
6) Generally, windows shall be oriented vertically.
7) Columns and piers generally shall be spaced no farther
apart than they are tall.
8) Transparency:
i. Each floor of any building façade facing a park,
plaza or street shall contain transparent windows
covering from fifteen percent (15%) to seventy-five
percent (75%) of the façade area.
ii. In order to provide clear views of merchandise and
to provide natural surveillance of exterior street
spaces, the ground-floor along the retail storefront
facade shall have transparent storefront windows
covering no less than fifty percent (50%) of the
façade area.
iii. Entryways recessed at least four feet (4’).
b. Permitted Finishes:
1) At least eighty percent (80%) of the exterior of all new
buildings (excluding doors and windows) shall be finished
in one or more of the following materials:
i. Brick, stone, cast stone, or stucco.
ii. Split face concrete block, poured-in-place concrete,
and tilt-wall concrete. It is the intent that any use of
concrete products shall have an integrated color
and be textured or patterned. Tilt-wall concrete
structures shall include reveals, punch-outs, or
other similar surface characteristics to enhance the
façade on at least twenty percent (20%) of each
façade.
iii. Side facades and rear facades shall be of finished
quality and of the same color and materials that
blend with the front of the building. Rear facades
may be painted tilt-wall or painted block matching
the same color of the rest of the building if the rear
façade faces an alley or is not viewable from a
public street or right-of-way.
2) To improve the pedestrian orientation, the ground floor of
commercial/retail buildings shall utilize a combination of
the following, unless otherwise approved by the Town:
i. Corbelling, molding, string coursing, ornamentation,
changes in material and color, or other sculpturing
of the base;
ii. Recessed windows or other techniques to
distinguish the windows in the façade such as
arches, pediments and mullions; and
iii. Entryways recessed at least four feet (4’).
3) The utilization of repetitive storefronts for “architectural”
consistency is discouraged in order to maintain an
interesting street experience; although the utilization of
common architectural elements shall be considered to
facilitate a certain level of functional continuity.
c. Building Orientation and Pedestrian Site Design:
1) Any building (excluding parking garages and other
accessory buildings) viewed from a public right-of-way or
public open space shall either face such right-of-way or
open space, or shall have a façade facing such area in
keeping with the character of the front façade, including
the utilization of similar fenestration and materials.
2) Pedestrian Elements
To improve the walkability and access of commercial and
retail areas, the following are encouraged in the site design
of a project:
i. Patio/café seating areas
ii. Pedestrian plazas/kiosk areas
iii. Drinking fountains
iv. Water features with sitting areas
v. Bicycle racks
vi. Continuous walkways linking stores
vii. Shade provided by building orientation, canopies
and/or trees
viii. Decorative Trash receptacles
3) Parking Lot and Building Frontage Landscaping and
Design
i. A minimum of fifteen (15) square feet of
landscaping including tree islands for each parking
space shall be provided within the paved
boundaries of the parking lot, with the landscaped
areas protected by raised curbs except where
wheel stops are utilized at the front of parking
spaces along a landscaped median between
parking bays, and pavement no closer than three
feet (3’) from the trunk of trees.
ii. Landscaped islands of a minimum of five feet (5’) in
width and extending the entire length of the parking
stall generally shall be located at the terminus of all
parking rows and shall contain at least one three
inch (3”) caliper tree consistent with the Tree List in
Section VI – Development and Design Standards.
iii. Parking spaces shall be a minimum depth of 18
feet and a minimum width of 9 feet; to encourage
better shade patterns, parking bays shall be
separated by a minimum five foot (5’) wide
landscaped median (See illustration below), with
three inch (3”) caliper shade trees planted every
thirty feet and wheel stops placed so as to allow the
front of vehicles to encroach over the landscaped
median without hitting the trees.
iv. Foundation plantings are required for buildings or
groups of buildings greater than 40,000 square feet
and where the front building facade does not abut a
public sidewalk, including a 3.0 inch caliper shade
tree for every 10,000 square feet of gross building
area consistent with the Tree List above. Small
ornamental trees are permitted on a ratio of 4 to 1
instead of 3.0 inch caliper shade trees. This is
intended to enhance the pedestrian experience in
front of larger buildings and to break up large
impervious surfaces between parking areas and the
building. Foundation planting trees shall be planted
within approximately 30 feet of the front façade and
are required in addition to any street trees required
herein. Tree grates shall be utilized for trees
planted less than four (4) feet back of curb. Tree
spacing shall not impede sign visibility or
pedestrian safety but shall be placed so as to
provide an effective shade environment in front of
the building.
d. Loading Areas and Trash Receptacles:
1) Loading and service areas shall be located at the side of or
in the rear of buildings. Every effort should be made to
reduce the need for segregated loading and service areas
by ensuring that deliveries are made off-hours. Such uses
as grocery stores, however, may require a loading dock
area. Where tractor/semi-trailer delivery may conflict with
land uses on or adjacent to the site, then the following
standards shall be followed:
i. Loading and service areas shall be located at the
side or rear of buildings.
ii. Off-street loading areas shall be screened from
view of any street public open space or adjacent
property.
iii. Loading areas shall be enclosed on three sides by
a wall or other screening device not less than 10
feet in height.
iv. Loading areas shall not be located closer than 50’
to any single family lot, unless wholly within an
enclosed building.
v. Screening materials shall be comprised of a wall
that has a similar finish to the primary structure, or
a combination of trees and shrubs that will result in
solid screening within 2 years.
vi. However, when adjacent to a residentially zoned
district a screening wall with landscaping shall be
used.
2. Trash/Recycling Receptacles:
i. Commercial trash/recycling containers shall be
located on the side or rear of the building and
screened from public view.
ii. Such containers shall be located at least 50’ away
from adjacent residential property lines.
iii. Such containers shall be screened on 4 sides,
using an enclosure that is 7’ tall or of a height that
is a minimum of 1’ above the top of the container,
whichever is taller. Screening shall be comprised of
brick, stone, reinforced concrete, or other similar
masonry materials that have a similar finish to the
primary finish; and all fence posts shall be rust-
protected metal, concrete based masonry or
concrete pillars.
iv. 6” concrete filled steel pipes shall be located to
protect the enclosure from truck operations.
v. Such container enclosures shall have steel gates
and tie-backs to secure them in an open position,
and fasteners to keep them closed.
vi. Screening shall be maintained at all times.
e. Signage
1) General: Signs shall be flat against the façade, projecting
from the façade or ground monument mounted. No signs
shall project above the façade unless approved as part of
a site plan as a “landmark sign” such as a theater marquee
or other special sign located in an prominent location and
