Chairman Hamper explained the changes made to the Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance and the need to strengthen the document. He went on to state that the need
for these changes was imperative because it has recently become obvious that the
regulations were not as strict as they needed to be. The Planning and Zoning
Commission attempted to capitalize on the mistakes made in the past and change the
wording so that districts will contain the quality that is so important to Trophy Club.
The Planning and Zoning Commission has worked closely with the Planning & Zoning
Coordinator, Public Works Department as well as Code Enforcement personnel.
Chairman Hamper asked the Council to draw their attention to a memorandum handed
out from the Municipal Planning Resources Group, and should the Council desire to
adopt this Ordinance, these changes would need to be incorporated into the
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance.
The Town Council requested definitions for the following materials:
stone
brick
stucco
natural environment
masonry
Planning & Zoning / Town Council Joint Public Hearing / Session 7 March 2000
After further discussion, Commissioner Williams recommended to the Town Council
approval of the Ordinance with the discussed changes. Commissioner Reed seconded.
The motion passed unanimously.
Mayor Engelbeck asked for clarification of the motion. Ms. Haertling, Town Attorney
stated the following:
"Recommendation to Town Council that they approve the amendment requested in this
memo, the amendments to the stone, brick, stucco, and masonry, the amendment that
Mr. Hamper just mentioned, regarding deleting the typographical error in Section 5. G.
and to add the caliper for the trees. The Planning Consultant will go back and work with
those and I think what Town Council will do is postpone acting on it until the planner gets
you actual definitions to review."
Mayor Pro Tem Member Brewster moved to approve the ordinance. Council Member
Tweedie seconded. Council Member Matthai recommended including amendments and
asked if it is appropriate to table this to next meeting. After further discussion, original
motion and second was withdrawn.
Council Member Smith moved to continue to date certain, March 21; Council Member
Matthai seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
