for Canterbury Hills, Phase 1B (22.090 acres) located out of the M. Medlin Survey,
Abstract No. 832 in the Town of Trophy Club, Denton County, Texas.

representing the applicant.

October 4, 2012Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes
Chairman Hill gave an overview of the case from the staff report.
Stephen Seidel, Assistant Town Manager, informed Chairman Hill that a resident had
signed up to speak on this agenda item. Chairman Hill asked the resident to come
forward.
Kathy Trotter, 310 Syline Drive, stated that she has a lift station behind her home and
she objects to the lack of space around the lift station. She feels this plat is a poor
design. The MUD is planning to move their road into the parkland area and she
brought this up two years ago when the town rezoned the property. She submitted a
petition signed by about 120 people in her neighborhood for the lack of space on the
lift station and that they have to move the road into the parkland. She stated that
most of the other lift stations in Town have adequate space around them like there
was an actual plan. The trucks come and go with adequate turnaround space. This
one doesn’t seem to be planned very well. She stated that on the east side of the
drainage area there are three (3) lots but on the west side there is her house, the lift
station, the road and three (3) other lots squeezed into the same amount of land.
Assistant Town Manager Stephen Seidel explained that the area that Ms. Trotter is
referring to is actually in Phase 2 of Canterbury Hills. He stated that the MUD has
provided final comments to the applicant’s engineer related to what they need to have
done with the lift station. The Town Engineer has worked in conjunction with the
developer and the MUD. He stated that there are no existing issues for the new lift
station in Phase 1B.
Chairman Hill asked the Commissioners for comments. Commissioner Davidson
asked if the lift station behind Lots 43 and 44 will stay there? Assistant Town
Manager Seidel responded that it could be discussed with the next agenda item.
There was no further discussion and Chairman Hill called for a motion.
Commissioner Reed made a motion recommending approval of the Final Plat
for Canterbury Hills Phase 1B. Commissioner Richert seconded the motion.
The motion was approved unanimously. The Town Council will hear this item
on October 15, 2012.

Commissioner Reed, and Commissioner Richert

2012-353-T3.Consider and take appropriate action regarding a request for approval of a Final Plat
for Canterbury Hills, Phase 2 (21.552 acres) located out of the M. Medlin Survey,
Abstract No. 832 in the Town of Trophy Club, Denton County, Texas.
Chairman Hill announced the case and asked the applicant to come forward. The
Jacobs Engineering representative stated that they were available to answer any
questions the Commissioners may have.
Chairman Hill gave an overview of the case from the staff report and then asked for
discussion or questions from the Commissioners.
Commissioner Forest asked for clarification regarding Ms. Trotter’s comments on the
previous plat. Assistant Town Manager Seidel explained that the plat for
consideration meets the Town’s subdivision rules and regulations. He explained that
the service road to the lift station is an on-going discussion between the Municipal
Utility District (MUD) and the Town. It is a serviceway that is currently partially
located on park property as well as partially located on developer property. The
developer now wants to develop the property. The Town is working the MUD in order
to provide access to the lift station that will not only service the existing area of
Eagle’s Ridge but also the new lots coming in to Canterbury Hills.
Planning and Zoning Commission Page 5 of 17 Meeting Date: November 15, 2012
October 4, 2012Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes
Chairman Hill stated that he was out on the property a week or so ago and the
existing road is partially on what is shown as Lot 56 on the plat. The MUD
representative, Jim Thomas, and Chairman Hill looked at it. There are trees on the
park property. There is the feasibility of coming off of Ridgeview Lane and across
that park sector to reach the lift station without impacting more than a very minimal
number of small trees. The parkland has been platted and it exists there and it is
outside the boundaries of the project the Planning and Zoning Commission is looking
at. So, that makes it a rather moot point of the discussion. We really do not have the
authority to do anything or commit to anything on that parkland.
Assistant Town Manager Seidel stated that he would like to make note to the
Commission and the audience and Mrs. Trotter that the Town and the MUD are
sensitive to the trees that are located in there and the developer is as well and want
to do what’s best for everyone, but there is the need to go in there and service that
Lift Station from time to time, especially in emergency situations. They have to be
able to get the equipment in, but they are very sensitive to trying to mitigate as few
trees as possible in that while trying to accommodate the need to service a very vital
piece of their equipment.
Commissioner Reed stated that he could understand Ms. Trotter’s concerns but he
could not see where the Planning and Zoning Commission have authority in this
matter. It seems to be a MUD issue rather than approval of this final plat.
Ms. Trotter responded that it seems that no one wants to take responsibility. The
MUD says The MUD says Town, and the Town says MUD.
Chairman Hill stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission has no authority with
either of those agencies.
Ms. Trotter responded that the Planning and Zoning Commission does have authority
over whether or not the plat moves forward as it is.
Mr. Seidel explained that there are state rules and regulations regarding how a plat
can be passed, and this plat meets all those requirements. My commitment to you is
that there are discussions going on between the MUD Manager and the Town
Manager on how best to rectify this situation because we want to be able to preserve
as many of those trees as possible while being able to preserve the access to the lift
station when it needs maintenance or there’s an emergency type situation.
Chairman Hill asked if there were any other comments or questions from the
Commission.
Commissioner Davidson asked for a tree count for the area, as noted on the agenda.
Steve Lenart, Lenart Development, 520 Central Parkway East, Plano, Texas, stated
that they will provide a tree survey before this item goes to Council. “We can happily
do that. We’ve staked it, probably five to six times in the last couple weeks so
everybody can look at it, and we’re happy to survey that area. Whatever needs to be
done. Again, I just want to bring up the same point -- we’re in compliance with our
zoning. We are a victim of past issues that happened where a road was put where it
wasn’t supposed to be. We’re not trying to create an issue here but, quite frankly we
have to be able to develop the property to the fullest extent that we have the ability to.
But with regards to that, anything that needs to be done with a tree survey we can
have that done."
Mr. Seidel asked the MUD Manager, Jennifer McKnight, if she knew how many trees
would be impacted. Thirteen?

October 4, 2012Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes
Jennifer McKnight, District Manager, MUD, stated that she believed it would be 14,
but that may be able to be reduced a little bit. She stated that they are looking at
working with the Town and Mr. Lenart’s group. “We’ve looked at instead of having
kind of a turnaround I’ve talked to the field crew and they can just pull in there and
kind of back the truck out and that’s going to further reduce the number of trees that
would be impacted. We’re looking at several options.”
Chairman Hill called for a motion.
Commissioner Davidson made a motion recommending approval of the Final
Plat for Canterbury Hills Phase 2. Commissioner Reed seconded the motion.
The motion was approved unanimously. The Town Council will hear this item
on October 15, 2012.
