1. CALL TO ORDER AND ANNOUNCE A QUORUM.
Chairman Hill called the meeting to order at 6:31 p.m., and announced a
quorum was present.
Chairman Hill directed the Commission to skip to agenda item three (3), due to
a prior request by Mr. Bergher.
3. DISCUSSION REGARDING A REQUEST TO AMEND PD -13, THE VILLAGE @
TROPHY CLUB, TO ALLOW FOR LESS RESTRICTIVE SIGNAGE CRITERIA FOR
TRACT 1, (APPLICANT: DAVID BERGHER, DEVELOPER).
Mr. Bergher addressed the Commission. He reviewed the reason why he would
like to amend the signage portion of PD -13.
Tenant are concerned that the current signage is too small and not

2. Lighting is makes it extremely difficult to see the signage from a
distance, such as eastbound SH 114.
3. The monument sign is also hard to read because it is small and does
not stand out for people traveling at high rates of speed on westbound
SH 114.
Currently, front lighting is used for all tenant spaces. In contrast, The Trophy Club
Plaza, PD -21, consists of back -lit lighting. Mr. Bergher stated that he used the
signage portion of PD -21 as a benchmark for creating the signage proposal for
PD -13. He suggested that a combination of back -lit and front -lit lighting be
used in the future, in order to create an aesthetic contrast.
The monument sign proposed would be approximately ten (10) feet tall by eight
(8) feet wide, and would stand in the same location of the current monument
sign.
Mr. Bergher asked if the amendment were approved, would the current tenants
be required to change their signage to reflect the amended standards.
Chairman Hill said that the current tenants would be able to keep their existing
Chairman Hill told the applicant that the Commission would not be opposed to
amending the signage portion of PD -13, tract 1. However, the applicant would
have to make a formal request to have the ordinance amended. Mr. Bergher
agreed. Ms. Fleck stated that she would contact him about submittal
deadlines, and the format for the amendment.
Chairman Hill directed the Commission to address agenda item two (2).
2. DISCUSSION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION REGARDING THE SHORT FORM PLAT
FOR A 6.000 ACRE TRACT OF LAND ZONED CR COMMERCIAL RECREATION,
LOCATED TO THE NORTH OF THE LAKES of TROPHY CLUB, (APPLICANT: JOHN
HARBIN, VICE PRESIDENT, BECK PROPERTIES).

fifteen (15) foot building line, but if has now been changed to a twenty-five (25)
foot building line. This additional space allows more room for children to play.
