4 DISCUSSION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION REGARDING A ZONING CHANGE
REQUEST FROM “R-15” SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL TO “R-12” SINGLE
FAMILY RESIDENTIAL FOR AN APPROXIMATE 2.3 ACRES LOCATED WHERE
RIDGE VIEW LANE DEAD ENDS INTO VACANT LAND JUST NORTH OF THE
INTERSECTION OF SKYLINE DRIVE AND RIDGE VIEW LANE, REQUESTED BY
JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP, INC., ON BEHALF OF BDMR DEVELOPMENT,
LLC (ZCA-09-015).
Jaison Stephen, Jacobs Engineering, spoke on behalf of Mehrdad Moayedi, Centurion
American Development Group, Steve Lenart, Lenart Development Company, and David
Keener, BDMR Development, LLC. Mr. Stephen stated that this is a rezoning request from R-
15 to R-12 so that this site will match the existing zoning of the adjacent development to the
south and the east. He stated that this rezoning request to R-12 will also match the zoning of
the proposed development to the west. He asked for a recommendation of approval to the
Town Council for this request.
Chairman Hill had no comments.
Commissioner Sheridan asked if Mr. West understood that this zoning request matched the
zoning of the surrounding neighborhoods. Mr. West is a resident in Eagles Ridge Phase I who
sent an email in opposition to this request. Ms. Huggins stated that she responded to Mr.
West’s email to let him know that she would pass his remarks along to the Planning & Zoning
Commission, but she did not have any other specifics as to why Mr. West is opposed to the
request. Mr. Sheridan asked if he is correct in that this request brings this site in line with the
rest of the neighborhood. Ms. Huggins responded that he is correct. Commissioner Sheridan
Planning and Zoning Commission Page 6 of 26 Meeting Date: August 6, 2009
asked if this zoning is approved, will the lot layout as proposed be affected. Ms. Huggins
responded that it won’t be affected. A preliminary plat has been approved and the lots sizes
meet or exceed R-12 zoning.
Commissioner Ashby asked if Lot 52 would have to be revised. Ms. Huggins explained that
the lots will conform to R-12 zoning. If the zoning change request is not approved, the plat that
has been submitted, based on approval of this zoning change request, will have to be revised.
Mr. Ashby asked if Lot 52 would lose one-third of the lot with this zoning change. Ms. Huggins
explained that the line running through one-third of Lot 52 is where the zoning split occurs and
if the zoning change is approved then all of that lot will be R-12 zoning and will conform. Mr.
Ashby asked how Lot 11 would be split. Ms. Huggins responded that they will not split any of
the lots. Lot 11 will be the rectangular shape of the dashed line on the exhibit. [The dashed
lines show the shape of each lot that will be brought forward on a plat in the near future.]
There were no further questions and Chairman Hill called for a motion.
Commissioner Sheridan made a motion recommending approval of the zoning change request
from R-15 Single Family Residential to R-12 Single Family Residential. Commissioner Ashby
seconded the motion.
Ayes: Hill, Reed, Ashby, Sheridan, Forest
Nays: None
Action: 5-0, Approved
5 PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING CHANGES TO THE TOWN OF TROPHY CLUB
CODE OF ORDINANCES, COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE,
SUPPLEMENTARY DISTRICT REGULATIONS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION,
AMENDING AND ADOPTING NEW REGULATIONS AFFECTING ACCESSORY
STRUCTURES, AND AFFECTING LOCATIONS OF FLAG POLES. (ADM-09-002)
Chairman Hill announced the case and opened the public hearing. There was no one present
wishing to speak and the public hearing was closed.
6 DISCUSSION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION REGARDING CHANGES TO THE
TOWN OF TROPHY CLUB CODE OF ORDINANCES, COMPREHENSIVE ZONING
ORDINANCE, SUPPLEMENTARY DISTRICT REGULATIONS, INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION, AMENDING AND ADOPTING NEW REGULATIONS
AFFECTING ACCESSORY STRUCTURES, AND AFFECTING LOCATIONS OF FLAG
POLES. (ADM-09-002)
Ms. Huggins explained that this request is to clarify the intent of the ordinance regarding
locations of flagpoles. The current ordinance is confusing in that flagpoles are allowed in the
front yard but must be behind the front building setback. Most homes are built on the setback
which does not allow any yard between the house and the front setback line, thus there is no
allowable space for a flagpole. Staff is requesting changes to item “vi” as shown on page 40 of
the packet.
Planning and Zoning Commission Page 7 of 26 Meeting Date: August 6, 2009
Commissioner Ashby asked if the ordinance prevents offensive flags. Ms. Huggins responded
that there is another section of the ordinance that addresses what type of flags can be flown.
Mr. Ashby requested that this be looked at and possibly brought back to a future meeting for
consideration. He would not wish to see skull and crossbones or swastikas flying from a
flagpole in Trophy Club. He also asked if there is a limit to how many flags can be flown on
each pole.
Commissioner Reed asked if one flag pole should be specified, which would help limit the
number of flags. Commissioner Ashby stated that he has seen many flagpoles with several
flags flying from them – the National flag, the State flag, and a school flag.
Commissioner Ashby made a motion recommending approval of this request. Commissioner
Sheridan asked to amend the motion contingent upon adding a statement referencing the
section(s) of the ordinance that indicates types of flags that can be flown. Commissioner
Ashby accepted the amendment and Commissioner Sheridan seconded the motion.
Ayes: Hill, Reed, Ashby, Sheridan, Forest
Nays: None
Action: 5-0, Approved
Item “vi” will be changed to incorporate the stipulations of the Planning & Zoning Commission
motion.

STAFF REPORT

Case No. ADM-09-003
Request for Text Amendment to
Chapter 13-Zoning
Section 5.03 Accessory Structures
and Uses
SUBJECT: Public Hearing regarding changes to the Town of Trophy Club Code
of Ordinances, Chapter 13-Zoning, Article V-Supplementary District
Regulations, Section 5.03-Accessory Structures and Uses, including
without limitation, amending and adopting new regulations affecting
accessory structures. (ADM-09-003)
PURPOSE: To define the height of “one story” as used in Section 5.03 “Accessory
Structures and Uses”.
STAFF COMMENTS: By current ordinance, an accessory structure cannot exceed
“one story in height”, except for storage/utility structures which shall not exceed eight
feet (8’) in height. Examples of allowed accessory structures in Trophy Club are
detached private garage, cabana, greenhouse, home workshop, guest house.
As “one story” is not defined in Section 5.03, the height is then restricted to the
maximum height allowed in the zoning district. Maximum height ranges from 42-ft. to
28-ft. in Trophy Club zoning districts. For example:
Zoning District Height Restriction
PD-16 The Knoll 42-ft.
Straight Zoning (R-8 to R-15) 40-ft.
R-FV (Fairway Village) 40-ft.
R-TT (Twenty in Trophy) 40-ft.
RS (Summit) 40-ft.
PD-12 Lakeside 35-ft.
PD-14 The Villas 35-ft.
PD-15 The Lakes 35-ft.
PD-17, Villas of Hogan’s Glen 35-ft.
PD-18 Fox Pointe 35-ft.
R-OH Oak Hill 30 or 35-ft.
R-OHP Oak Hill Patio 28-ft.
Planning and Zoning Commission Page 11 of 26 Meeting Date: August 6, 2009
With the regulations as currently written, a homeowner could build a “one story”
accessory structure such as a detached garage or home workshop to the maximum
height allowed in the zoning district -- 35-ft. or 40-ft. in most zoning districts in the Town
of Trophy Club.
During the past fiscal year (2008-09), approximately 160 new single family residential
building permits were issued in the Town of Trophy Club. Popular ceiling heights in new
residential homes are 10-12-ft with roof pitches ranging from 8:12 to 12:14. Using those
measurements as a guideline, staff requests a height restriction of one story be limited
to 20-ft. maximum height on accessory buildings.
STAFF REQUEST: Staff requests the following changes to Sections 5.03 A.1.d and
A.1.e.ii.:
A.1. Permitted Accessory Structures
d. An accessory use shall not be located within any identified
easement. In addition, accessory structures permitted in these
districts shall not exceed one story in height, the maximum
height of one story not to exceed twenty feet (20’) in height,
except for storage/utility structures which shall not exceed eight
feet (8’) in height.
e. Height Requirements/Screening Requirements:
ii. Accessory structures permitted in these districts shall not
exceed one story in height, the maximum height of one
story not to exceed twenty feet (20’) in height, except for
storage/utility structures which shall not exceed eight feet
(8’) in height.”
Staff asks for a recommendation of approval to the Town Council.
PUBLIC HEARING: A notice of public hearing must be published in the local
newspaper fifteen (15) days prior to a hearing for a text amendment. A notification was
placed in the newspaper as required. Hearing Date: August 6, 2009. Publication Date:

CASE SUMMARY: Municipal Utility District No. 1, represented by Fire Chief

Lot 1, approximately 0.936 of an acre, consists of a fire station and wooded area.
Lot 2, approximately 1.287 acres, consists of two buildings; one is an administration
building housing Town and MUD offices, and the other building provides offices for
the Police Department.
Lot 3, approximately 3.044 acres, consists of water storage facilities and
maintenance facilities.
CURRENT ZONING: “GU” (Government Use). The GU Governmental Use District
applies to those lands where national, state or local governmental activities are
conducted and where governments hold title to such lands. Any lawful
governmental activity is permitted in these districts.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan depicts public/governmental/
church uses for this area. The lots proposed by this plat are consistent with the
plan.
THOROUGHFARE PLAN: Lot 1 has frontage on both Trophy Club Drive and
Municipal Drive. Lots 2 and 3 have access to Municipal Drive through a 24-ft.
ingress and egress easement.

SHORT FORM PLAT: Approval of the final plat of Municipal Utility District No. 1
Complex is requested as a short form plat. The land is not vacant. It has had on-
going development over the past 25 years with the construction of the Administration
building in 1984, followed by construction of the existing fire station in 1985, which
was built as a 60’x60’ volunteer station for equipment use only. This property has
existing utilities and streets and will not require extensions of municipal facilities.
A preliminary plat and detailed utility drawings are not required for a short form plat
and a short form plat may be approved if the following conditions and requirements
are met:
The resulting lots conform to all minimum size requirements.
GU zoning does not require a minimum lot size.
The proposed subdivision shall not exceed a maximum of four (4) lots.
Three lots are proposed.
Such lots abut an existing street and do not require the creation of any new
street or the addition or extension of municipal facilities.
The lots abut Municipal Drive, an existing street, and do no require the
creation of any new street. Municipal facilities extend to each of the
lots. Addition or extension of municipal facilities is not required.
The perimeter of the tract being subdivided has been surveyed and marked
on the ground, a Plat thereof prepared and submitted to the Town Planning
and Zoning Administrator, and the nearest corner of each lot or parcel of such
proposed subdivision is within two hundred feet of a known corner which is
adequately marked by a concrete monument or iron stake.
Completed by Teague, Nall & Perkins, Town Engineers.
The topography of the tract and the surrounding lands is such that no regard
need be given in such subdivision to drainage, and drainage facilities are not
required.
Grading and paving for drainage was completed at time of development
of buildings. Drainage facilities are not required. However, if lots are
further developed in the future, a drainage study will be requested to
ensure that adequate drainage is provided.
The utilities, as required in these Regulations, are in place to serve each
parcel or lot of such subdivision or re-subdivision, or the installation of utilities
will be a minor job, the necessary easements exist already and arrangements
to provide such utilities have been made.
Utilities are in place to serve each lot.
The uses provided for the property will not require rezoning of any portion of
the property, and the resulting lots conform to all area and setback
requirements of these Regulations and the zoning ordinance of the Town of
Trophy Club.
The property is zoned for government uses and all uses conform to that
zoning. All lots conform to all area and setback requirements.
