C.1 PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A REQUEST TO AMEND THE GAS WELL
MANUAL ORDINANCE NO. 2003-12 P&Z TO ALLOW A MASONRY WALL TO
SURROUND A PRODUCING SITE.
Vice Chairman Stephens made a motion to open the public hearing, which was
seconded by Mr. Sheridan.
There was no one wishing to speak and the Chairman accepted a motion from
Commissioner Sheridan to close the public hearing which was seconded by
Commissioner Reed.
D.1 DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST TO AMEND THE GAS
WELL MANUAL ORDINANCE NO. 2003-12 P&Z TO ALLOW A MASONRY
WALL TO SURROUND A PRODUCING SITE.
This item was discussed and considered by the Planning & Zoning Commission at the
October 18, 2007, meeting, but had to be brought back before the Commission because
proper notice of Public Hearing was not done.
Ms. Huggins, Planning & Zoning Coordinator, stated to the Commissioners that there is
no change from the previous meeting’s staff report other than a sample of the wall is
available for the Commissioners to view. The sample was passed to the
Commissioners.
Commissioner Sheridan asked if the wall would be the same color as the sample.
Russell Slovak, Centurion American, stated that the material would be painted to match
the natural stone product used in other parts of the community for continuity and
blending. Commissioner Sheridan asked if the Gas Well Ordinance covers the
maintenance for the paint. It does not. The owner of the gas well sites is working with
the Town to try to create some sort of HOA to handle maintenance issues in the future.
Commissioner Sheridan motioned to approve the request to amend the Gas Well
Manual Ordinance No. 2003-12 P&Z as follows:
“Allow upgrading of material to masonry product wall with a
minimum 7-1/2 ft. height at the top of the wall, or higher than the
permanent enclosed equipment, and a wrought iron gate that is a
minimum 24-ft. wide clear opening, and the gate shall remain locked
Planning & Zoning Commission November 15, 2007 Page 5 of 20
at all times when no one is present. The fence facing the
thoroughfare is to be permanent masonry.”
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Ashby.

Abstain: None

E.1 DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FOR FINAL PLAT
APPROVAL FOR TROPHY CLUB DRIVE, PHASE 2 AND TROPHY CLUB
PARK DRIVE (MASTER IMPROVEMENTS) (21.344 ACRES). APPLICANT:
831 TROPHY, L.P. (FP-07-023)
Krisha Brooks, Carter & Burgess, representing the applicant, 831 Trophy L.P., asked for
approval of the final plats for Trophy Club Drive, Phase 2 and Trophy Club Park Drive.
Ms. Huggins, Planning & Zoning Coordinator, stated that staff is asking that the
Planning & Zoning Commission recommend approval with the stipulation that the
Landscape and Irrigation Plans be resubmitted and approved prior to this item going
before the Town Council. Staff received revisions to the plans and plats earlier in the
day, but has not had a chance to review the revisions. Staff asks that the Planning &
Zoning Commission stipulate that Town Engineer and Staff approval must be obtained
on the plans and plats prior to the item going before Town Council. Staff is also asking
that the sewer aspects (aerial crossing vs. siphon) of this project be resolved prior to
this item going before the Town Council. Staff is also requesting that the Planning &
Zoning Commission stipulate that Trophy Club Park Drive name change be resolved
prior to this item going before the Town Council.
Tom Rutledge, Town Engineer, stated that there are no substantial items outstanding.
All comments should be able to be addressed by Carter & Burgess prior to this item
going to Council.
Commissioner Sheridan asked for an explanation of an inverted siphon. Krisha Brooks
explained that a channel runs through the Corps property and in order to get a sewer
line from one side to the other it was anticipated that an aerial would be used but
instead the line must go underneath the channel. So, the sanitary sewer line will come
toward the creek and then dip down underneath the creek and come back up to connect
into the mainline. A siphon functions by utilizing a certain velocity and it pushes the
flows through so you get everything at a certain angle and velocity and it cleanses and
works within itself. It functions individually without any sort of pump.
Commissioner Sheridan asked if this is satisfactory to the MUDs. Ms. Brooks stated
that they have had the MUDs and Town review this item. Mr. Rutledge added that there
Planning & Zoning Commission November 15, 2007 Page 6 of 20
was a siphon design when this plan was first reviewed but the preference was to do an
aerial crossing. This week the Corps of Engineers denied that request. Mr. Rutledge
added that a plat has to show the infrastructure that is going to support the plat. This is
an offsite item, not within the boundaries of the platted property, but sewer isn’t
available unless it crosses this creek so it needs to stay tied to the plat.
Commissioner Sheridan asked what types of revisions were received today. Ms.
Brooks responded that they addressed the comments received from the Town
Engineer. Commissioner Sheridan asked if they made any changes other than those
requested by the Town Engineer. Ms. Brooks stated that they did not.
Commissioner Sheridan stated that the Planning & Zoning Commission needs to
include in the motion the ability for the road (Trophy Club Park Drive) name change to
occur before this plat goes to Council so that Council is approving the name change
with the approval of this plat. Ms. Huggins confirmed that is what staff is requesting of
the Planning & Zoning Commission.
Commissioner Forest asked if there are commercial properties along Trophy Club Park
Drive that will incur expenses (change letterhead, business cards, etc.) if the road name
change occurs. Ms. Huggins stated that there are no businesses along that road.
Vice Chairman Stephens made a motion to approve this plat with: 1) all “staff review
comments” as stipulations, 2) the additional stipulation that Trophy Club Park Drive
renaming will be settled prior to Council consideration, and 3) resolution of the use of
inverted siphon vs. lift station and force main prior to Council consideration. The motion
was seconded by Commissioner Ashby.
Ayes: Hill, Stephens, Reed, Ashby, Sheridan, Sanchez, Forest
Nays: None
Action: 7-0, Approved

EXISTING CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY:
Canterbury Hills, Phase 1 is zoned R-12 (minimum 12,000 sq. ft. lots) and R-15
(minimum 15,000 sq. ft. lots) Single Family Residential.
Waters Edge at Hogan’s Glen is zoned Planned Development (PD) 22.
STAFF REVIEW: There are outstanding comments from the Town Engineer. Carter
& Burgess have submitted revisions, but at the time of packet delivery, review of
the revisions is not complete. Staff will update the Commissioners at the
meeting on November 15, 2007.
Sheet NEX – NEIGHBORHOOD & PHASING PLAN EXHIBIT:
1. Lot 2, 3 & 4, Block H do not appear to meet the lot dimension
requirements for Type 2 lots. Update “Lot Summary”.
2. Golf Course Maintenance is already platted and should not be included
as part of the “Acreage Summary”.
3. Revise the Open Space acreage to reflect the comments in Sheet P1.
Sheet K1 – KEY MAP - SHEET INDEX EXHIBIT:
1. Show the delineation for the floodplain and the flowage easement.
Planning & Zoning Commission November 15, 2007 Page 14 of 20
Sheet P1 – PRELIMINARY PLAT:
1. There are two golf cart paths crossing Indian Creek. As noted in the
response to the first review comments, an acceptable crossing will be
submitted at time of final platting.
2. Lot 1, Block F: Check the dimension along the west property line.
3. See Sept. 9, 2007 response from C-B (Sht. L1, No. 3). It states 3 alternate
proposed routes have been submitted to the town for review and are
now being studied by the Town. The approved route will need to be
reflected on the preliminary plat. This proposed road is along the tract
designated as CA, Tract 4 (0.22 ac.) This must be dedicated as a 60-foot
wide right-of-way; show this proposed road to extend to the far west
property line of this preliminary plat (common with the Corp of Engineers
boundary). Public right-of-way access is necessary for Golf Course
Maintenance Facility and Sewer Treatment Plant. Provide a street
designation (Ex: Street A) for the purposes of this preliminary plat. As
currently shown, it appears that adequate width is not available to
accommodate a 60-foot wide right-of-way. Reconfigure Lot 1 as
necessary and show the proposed right-of-way dedication between the
golf course and Lot 1, Block F. This right-of-way will not be included in the
open space calculations (see comments for Sheet NEX).
4. Minimum radius for collector roads is 300-foot.
5. Callout centerline radius for Indian Creek, North of Hershey Lane.
Sheet U1 thru U3 - PRELIMINARY WATER & SEWER PLAN:
1. In anticipation of a collector road being extended (between the Golf
Course Maintenance and the golf course) to the west for a future creek
crossing, provide a 12” water line extension along the limits of the roadway to
the west.
In addition, a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) is under review for
Waters Edge at Hogan’s Glen and Canterbury Hills.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval if Staff and Town Engineer comments have
been met.
