Chairman Serially announced the case and asked Mr. Clegg and Mr Lenart to come
forward if they had anything to say.
Steve Lenart, Lenart Development, stated that this is the last plat they have for The
Highlands. He is here to answer any questions the Commissioners might have along
with his engineer, Travis Clegg, Pmahm Land Solutions. He stated that
Neighborhood 7, Phase 3C is located north of the dog park and has 107 single family
lots.
Commissioner Sheridan stated that Lots 89, 90, 91 and 98 abut the flowage
easement. Mr. Lenart gave a response but his response did not address
Commissioner Sheridan's question because Mr. Lenart misunderstood what area of
the plat Commissioner Sheridan was referring to. Mr. Clegg responded to Mr.
Sheridan's concerns by stating that those lots am "way out of" the minimum finished
fear elevation requirement of 2 -ft. above base flood elevation He stated they can
show it on the grading plans or final plat if needed.
Commissioner Sheridan stated that he thought there were mon: wellheads on the gas
well sites. Mr. Lenart explained that there are two gas well sites adjacent to this plat
and explained where they are and that the wellheads are identified.
Chairman Seemly stated that the wellheads are shown but not labeled. Mr Clegg
responded that the wellhead is identified as a symbol and the symbol is identified in
the legend.
Commissioner Sheridan stated that the preliminary plat shows four wellheads on the
"south"gas well site, whereas the final plat only identifies one. Mr. Lenartand Mr.
Clegg both stated that they confirmed the number and location of the wellheads on
the gas well sites.
Commissioner Sheridan asked what comments are still outstanding. Mr. Clegg gave
an explanation that there are 7 or 8 outstanding comments from an October 3
meeting with Staff and those are being addressed
Commissioner Sheridan asked if the 30 -day waiver is verbal or written. Ms. Huggins
responded that a written waiver is required.
Commissioner Sheridan stated that a comment for the Grading Plan requires that
approval will be required prior to pre -construction meeting and then in the
recommendation it says prior to placement on the Council agenda. Which is it?
Ms. Huggins stated that the grading plan comment came late to the table. She stated
that the retaining walls were missed on the first review of the plans. The applicant
men get the comment (requirement) until last week and because of that staff wanted
to allow a little extra time beyond Council's approval of the plat. The pre -construction
meeting is typically held about a week after Council approval of the final plat. Mr.
Lenart gave a little bit more detailed explanation of the small 3- to 4 -ft. retaining walls
refereed to in the grading plan comment. He stated they will provide engineered wall
plans by the pre -construction meeting.
Commissioner Sheridan: "Thank you, Mr. Chairman, lam favorably inclined."
Chairman Serially stated that if there are no further questions or comments he will
Planning and Zoning Commission Page 2 of 12 Meeting Date: October 17, 2013
Planning 8 Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes October 17, 2013
ask fora motion to approve with the stipulations so stated in the staff report.
A motion was made by Commissioner Sheridan, seconded by Commissioner
Allen, that this agenda item be recommended for approval with the stipulation
that outstanding comments must be met prior to placement of the final plat on
the November 4, 2013, Council agenda. The motion carried by the following
vote.

2013-676-T Discussion and recommendation regarding a recommendation of approval
for a Final Plat of Neighborhood 4, Isle of Tumberry, consisting of 14
residential lots and 4 open space lots. Applicant: Corwin Engineering, Inc.
on behalf of Standard Pacific of Texas, Inc.

Chairman Serially announced the case and asked for a staff report.
Ms. Huggins stated that the applicant is requesting approval of a final plat for NH 4,
Isle of Tumberry which is located at the end of Veranda Ave. - the bridge is being
built to access this property. Each Commissioner has been given some additional
information this evening- a copy of the grading plan, a copy of the preliminary plat
that was approved in January 2007, and a copy of the free mitigation plans.
There are some constmcb'on plan comments outstanding on this project. They are
listed on page 18 ofyour packet. (Tom Rutledge arrived to the meeting j These
comments have been reviewed with the developer and engineer and revised plans
were received by the Town this week and thus the mason for additional information
begin given to you this evening One of the hems in front of you is Ne response
memo been Corvvin Engineering, addressing the outstanding comments.
The tree survey was also submitted this week and in front of you is the mitigation
required- 354.36 caliper inches are required for mitigation. The applicantproposes
planting 355 caliper inches in common areas throughout the 14 -lot subdivision.
Final review of the plans and tree survey will be done by Staff and the Town Engineer
and we expect all comments to be resolved and the plans to meet the Subdivision
Rules and Regulations by the time the Town Council reviews this plat on November
4.
Women Corwin, the applicant's engineer is here this evening to answer any questions
you may have. Chip Boyd, representing Standard Pacific, the developer, is here this
evening.
Warren Corwin, Corwin Engineering, came forward and pointed out on a PowerPoint
slide the location of the lots. He showed where Highlands 2A and 2B to the north are
located which Standard Pacific and K Hovnanian Homes developed. He stated this is
going to be a unique development as the lots are secluded and surrounded by golf
course on three sides, and trees, and the entryway is going to be over a bridge
through the trees, over a creek and back into the nestled 14 lots.
Warren stated that when you go across the crack them is a pretty big hill. The
finished floor elevation on the first pad is 585, which is higher than the elevation of
the house structure already built on the other side of the Veranda Avenue bridge.
This isn't a low point sitting out on the golf course. It is a hill that sits on the golf
Planning and Zoning Commission Page 3 of 12 Meeting Date: October 17, 2013
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes October 1T, 2013
course. These lots are higher.
Then; was some discussion of the finished floor numbers on the plat and the grading
plan. Warren stated that the minimum finished floors are 2 -ft. above the floodplain.
The pads are higher than finished floorrequirements.
Chairman Serially stated that the Commissioners are seeing some of these
documents for the that time this evening
Mr. Corin stated that the point he is frying to stress is that those pads are well
above any floodplain elevations.
Mc Senelly. "and I know that some of us have continued concems about flooding
and stream way issues and so forth and so I am going to ask while you are hem for
our Commissioners to ask some questions."
Commissioner Sheridan: There is "finished floor' and'Ynished pad". The minimum
required by Town rules is a slab that sits 2 -ft. above the floodplain. You presented to
us a drainage plan that has significantly higher finished pads. I am concerned with
lots that have effective floodplain on them, for instance, Lot 1. Mon everything is all
done, Lot 1 will still have a comerm floodplain. Why?
Mc Corin: The building structure is not going to get anywhere near that comer, plus
there is a sewer easement that inns through the back of that lot and a structure can't
be built over the sewer easement, so we left that corner so the homeowner can enjoy
the size of the lot.
Commissioner Sheridan: Does that affect any of our building codes from the home
builder's point of view.
Ms. Huggins: When a building period is submitted for one of these lots, the builder
will be required to give the Town an elevation certificate showing they have met the
minimum finished floor elevation.
Commissioner Sheridan: Mr. Corin, you understand that we have had significant
flooding problems since the preliminary plat of 2007 and that's why some of us are
skittish about this. The Town is going to some expense to correct problems that
occur years after the builder leaves and the problem becomes the Town's
responsibility.
Mr. Sheridan: Yocum, . an effective floodplain on this plat and you have a proposed
floodplain on this map. You have a CLOMR already done, which is a civil
engineering plan to bring this stuff out of the floodplain, correct?
Mr. Carvin: There was a CLOMR done with the bridge that was approved.
Mr. Sheridan: The plans are to remediate floodplain. Then, once the work is done,
meaning you've actually gone out with dozers and graded it, then you have to submit
a LOMR to FEMA that shows what was corrected, and the property is out of the
floodplain, and you are asking FEMA to approve it. That's the difference between the
effective and the proposed This plat is not filed until after all the work is done and all
the streets are in and all the infrastructure and the LOMR is approved?
Ms. Huggins: No sir. We file the plat after Council approval and before building
permits can be issued.
Mc Sheridan: That would be before any grading or streets are built?
Planning and Zoning Commission Page 4 of 12 Meeting Date: October 17, 2013
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes October 17, 2013
Ms. Huggins: Yes sir.
Mr. Shendan: Then afterall this is done they have to mine in and submit a corrected
plat.
Ms. Huggins: No, they only have to correct it if the proposed floodplain ends up
being incorrect. The existing floodplain is what is out there right now, the proposed
floodplain is what should be there after the work is done, and, only if that is not
correct would they need to amend the plat.
Mc Shendan- Can they put infrastructure streets and stuBdown before the LOMR is
approved.
Ms. Huggins: Yes.
Mc Shendan: Can they build a house orget a building permit before the LOMR is
approved.
Ms. Huggins. They don't have to have it approved, but they must have submitted it to
FEMA before the Town can issue a building permit.
Mc Corwin: We had the same situation on the lots on the mi erside of the creek in
Neighborhood 4. There was a retaining was built in order to lift these lots up and get
them out of the floodplain. That was done. The plat was filed Oncethose
improvements were done, we did the As Builts and submitted for the LOMR. The
subdivision was built during that morass.
Mr Sheridan: At that time Wit clausal agree with the final plat it would have to be
amended.
Ms. Huggins: Yes.
Commissioner Allen: It's an island, tight? Isle of Tumberry. Most islands that I know
store surrounded by water.
Mr. Corwin: There is water flowing underneath the bridge and on the south side.
Otherwise, its surrounded by golf course.
Mr. Allen. Are there two creeks?
Chairman Serially They come together. There is a confluenco on the Corp land..
Mr. Allen: I thought there was a split.
Brandon Davidson, Corwin Engineering, explained the location and now of the creek.
There rant a split. There is a tributary thatjoins the main branch. There is a ridge
between the two streams that prevents the water from crossing over.
Chairman Serially. They are different watersheds
Mr. Allen: So the isle is not an isle by water definition; ifs only by golf course
definition?
Mr. Davidson: It is not surrounded on all sides by water
Commissioner Sheridan: Are you working on yourpoperty or on the golf curse
property too?
Planning and Zoning Commission Page 5 of 12 Meeting Date: October 17, 2013
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes October 17, 2013
Mr Corwin: We Ye had good communication and cooperation from them, but they
have a big organization and it takes time to get through their organization. We were
going to do some grading on the golf course rather than put the retaining wall in, but
because of our time, we wanted to get moving, we wanted to put that into our hands
rather than leave something in their hands. We had two options. We could build a
retaining wall, which is more expensive, but then we would be in control rather than
waiting on their Corporate to process an easement so we decided to keep control of
the situation and go with the retaining wall. With the bridge we have temporary golf
cart paths so we've had a lot of communication with the golf course.
Mr. Sheddan: Does that affect the CLOMR?
Mr. Corwin: No.
Chairman Senelly. Is that retaining wall you are retuning to the 126 -ft. shown on the
south side?
Mr. Corwin: On the grading plan — yes.
Chairman Senelly. That wall vanes in height from zero to 5-H. Is that correct?
Mr. Corwin: Yes.
Chairman Senelly: Is a railing required on the top of that wall?
Mr. Corwin: No.
Chaimlan Senelly: Regarding trees. How many trees are being taken out
altogether?
Mc Corwin: IPs in the tree survey. We have a landscape architect that does it.
Chairman Senelly: Approximately how many trees? Isitmorethan509 Marathon
1001 dust some notion.
Mr. Corwin: I don't know.
Chairman Senelly: What are some of the species being taken out?
Mr. Corwin: I dont know. I'd have to look at it.
Chairman Senelly: We have time. While you are looking at that, I have a question
following that which is, are the species that you are going to be planting the same as
those you are taking out or are they something non-native?
Mr. Corwin: Here is the assumption I am going to make. The landscape architects
that we use are very reputable and good and 1 would assume they would plant
something that is going to be hardy and could live under the conditions of where they
are planted in Trophy Club.
Mr. Senelly: That may be but my question concems how they are matching the trees
taken out. We don't have a requirement to come back with the same species. We
have a requirement to replace in terms of the caliper and size of the trees, but 1 am
asking something else. 1 am asking because if we am taking out Oaks and putting
back Live Oaks which are now in the path of a substantial blight that's come to Texas
then you may want to reconsider that.
Mr. Davidson: The last page of fhe tree survey shows which species were
Planning and Zoning Commission Page 6 of 12 Meeting Date: October 17, 2013
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes October 17, 2013
replanting. There are muri if woad species.
Ms. Huggins: In the Tree Ordinance there is a requirement that protected trees must
be replaced by a specific list of frees. The trees they are going to plant to mitigate
must come firm that list
Chairman Serially. 1 see the list and the list is non-nativesjust for a point of
information. Although they are easier to find, some of trees are in jeopardy
because of blight situations and I dont think you will find too many Live Oaks down
there right now. That's not a tree you find in the forest right now. Bald Cypress,
Cedar Elm, Lace Bark Elm - probably not.
Mr. Davidson: It appears a large majority of the trees are Cedar Elm. There are
some Post Oaks.
Chairman Serially My suggestion is to look at that list and compare it with what is
being removed versus what will be planted and make sure the Ordinance is being
followed conceming the important trees.
Commissioner Reed: One of the things I've noticed is developers will plant trees as
screens and what not and I don't think there is a lot of forethought put into how they
keep these newly planted trees alive. It's well intentioned to plant 50 to 100 trees, but
if there isn't any water to the trees summer is going to roll around, the developer will
be long gone and we'll have a neighborhood full of dead trees. What is our authority
or what is the plan to keep these newly planted trees.
Ms. Huggins: Trees plants as mitigation are required to be irrigated.
Chairman Senelly. Are there warranties for the trees?
Ms. Huggins: to this particular instance the HOA will be responsible for owning and
maintaining the area where the trees are being planted. It would be in the
developer's best interest to give some sort of warranty to the HOA, but that will be up
to the HOA.
Mr Corwin: The benefit to this project is the developer is the builder. They are
spending neady $900,000 on a bridge just to get to these 14 lots and the entryway to
that bridge is where the trees are being planted. The benefit is to get those trees
there and get them established to be the entryway into this 14-Iot subdivision.
Commissioner Card. The HOA is controlled by the developer still?
Ms. Huggins: Yes.
Commissioner Sheridan: Since this is not in the PID, which HOA is d?
Ms. Huggins: These 14 lots are Trot in the PID, but they are in the PD -27 zoning of
The Highlands so they are part of the Tumberry, HOA.
Commissioner Allen: Is there a bridge foraccess to the cul-de-sac?
Mr. Corwin: No, its a box culvert. Two 10x6 box culverts.
Chairman Society. What is the staff recommendation for this item?
Ms. Huggins: The staff recommendation is to request approval of the Final Plat with
the stipulation that all outstanding comments must be met (and by "met" that means
meet the Subdivision Rules & Regulations) before the plat is placed on a Council
Planning and Zoning Commission Page 7 of 12 Meeting Date: October 17, 2013
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes October 17, 2013
agenda, which is currently scheduled for November 4. If the outstanding comments
are not met, then we will ask the developer to give us a waiver of the 30 -day rule and
the plat will be placed on a future agenda once the Town Engineer and staff have
signed off on the plat.
Chairman Senelly: Any other comments or questions?
Commissioner Card. You said that in the pnorphases you put in retaining walls. Do
you expect to do that for these lots?
Mr. Corwin: We are going to have some side yard retaining walls. They are shown
on the grading plan.
Chairman SenellyThe lot -to -lot walls look like they are no more than a couple of
feet.
Mr. Corwin: Right.
Vice Chairman Vowell: Is that just stone?
Mr. Corwin: Yes.
Vice Chairman Vowell: So even though some of this information has come in as late
as this afternoon, staff is still in favor of approval.
Ms. Huggins: Yes sir. We are recommending approval because we will have some
time now between todays date and the Council agenda to look over the tree survey
and infrastructure construction plans to know whether or not it is going to meet the
Subdivision Rules and Regulations by November 4.
Chairman Senelly. May I hear a motion so stipulating tram our Commissioners?
Commissioner Garrett Reed. It seems that every time we meet something has just
been done or going to be done. It goes on and on every meeting and I just wanted to
voice my imstration with the fact that packages don't come in complete. 1 understand
that we are trying to hurry to get you guys built but Ijust want to voice that concern
that every time there is a stipulation.
Commissioner Allen_ It doesn't have anything to do with the Isle of Tumbery but it
is somewhat of a cost keeping the question relevant to what Mr Readjust said and
that is that why would we get a package that isn't complete and has to be completed
with comments going forward Why does that have to be?
Ms. Huggins: Tonight there is one other reason which is that I am going to be gone
for two weeks and we have a very small staff in Trophy Club with only one Planner on
staff There isn't anyone else to bring projects before you so the next P&Z meeting on
November 7 is not going to be held since 1 will not be here. So if these items were
not brought before you tonight, they would not be on a P&Z agenda until November
21, which puts them at Council approval on December 2 rather than November 4,
which means a month delay for the developer. So that did play into their decision to
go on this agenda. The developer was reluctant to come forward tonight because he
knew he still had things to be done and he didn't want to have to ask you for approval
with stipulations. But, not coming forward tonight meant delaying until December 2
Council approval
Commissioner Allen: That's specific to this particularproposal but earlier we had a
plat that needed stipulations as well
Planning antl Zoning Commission Page 8 of 12 Meeting Date: October 17, 2013
Planning 8 Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes October 17, 2013
Ms. Huggins: Yes. That devemperis trying to get his final plat completed because
Neighborhood 7 is that developer's final plat of the Highlands. He is trying to get his
plat completed before the end of the year. Same thing- he knew there would not be
a meeting on November? and he also stated that he would want to be on this
agenda.
Chairman Senelly I want to say something. his uncomfortable for us to have these
things occursometimes in this fashion. Itis also uncomfortable for ourapplicants.
It's not as if they want to come in with an incomplete, as you put it, application. I will
say this. The items that we are stipulating are relatively, in the scheme of things,
minor things that appear, can be, accomplished in the timeframe we are talking
about. If there were something major here, then 1 can see how we might want to do
something other than take action on it. We do have three courses of action: 1)
approve it, 2) deny it, or3) table it. I think we simply have to have verygood
estimate for anything that we do.
Commissioner Reed: It's just... it's a frustration. At some point I would like to have
stuff brought before this body complete. I understand- they are all valid points- but
my thought is this, being in a developer's shoes myself, these guys know years, if not
months ahead, when the end of the year mines, To make us hurry up and do
something because they want to hurry up and do something it starts to get a little
hustmting.
Vice Chairman Vowell: All of the Commissioners may not be aware cities, but
Chairman Serially and I meet with Carolyn prior to the meeting to go over the agenda
and to see what is coming up. With this particular plat we had some questions that
we thought you might ask and we tried to address that which is why Carolyn got on
the phone to the applicant this afternoon and this new stack of information was here
tonight. We are trying to deal with the situations ahead office, and if there is
something missing that we catch we are asking for it. We am trying to make this
simpler, but this is a particular case where we didn't get to meet until this morning,
typically we try to meet on Wednesday to go over things and try to think about what
you guys might want M ask.
Chairman Serially : With the stipulations already mentioned and the timeframe
limitations we've already set forth, 1 would ask for a motion.
Commissioner Allen: So move.
Commissioner Sadley. Second.
Chairman Senelly: Further discussion or comment?
Commissioner Sadley. Trophy Club is a great place to call home. I am glad that
Tmphy Club is a great place to do business. 1 feel we have an obligation to keep it
both a great place to call home and a great place to do business. The work that you
guys are doing, Carolyn is doing, the Town Engineer is doing prior to the meeting, I
don't mind looking at things on a rush basis. I have a lot of ac nfidence in the other
members of the Commission, I think they know a whole lot more than I do. I think we
want to attract people to do business in Trophy Club regardless of whether they are a
developer or somebody wanting to go into business. I am proud of Tmphy Club for
that.
Chairman Serially called for the vote. 5-2, with Commissioner Sheridan and Reed
voting against.
A motion was made by Commissioner Allen, seconded by Commissioner
Sadley, that this agenda item be recommended for approval with the
stipulation that outstanding comments must be met prior to placement of this
item on the November 4, 2013, Council agenda. The motion carried by the

4. 2013-677-T Discussion and recommendation regarding a request for approval of a
revised Site Plan to add a monument sign to Planned Development No. 23
(PD -23), Trophy Club Medical Plaza. Applicant: Richard Brown, Chandler
Signs, LP, LLC on behalf of the property owner, HCP CRSl Trophy Club TX,
LP.
Attachments: Staff Report - PZ 100313- Add Monument Sion.odf
Aoolication.odf
Ms. Huggins stated that this request is on behaff of Trophy Club Medical Plaza to
allow one additional monument sign to be added to the site. She stated that the
medical plaza is located on Highway 114 between the Vineyards apartments on the
west and vacant land to the east, that vessel land was recently rezoned to PD -34 for
development of a hotel and restaurant and retail pad sites.
There are two buildings on the medical plaza site and the proposed location of Me
new monument sign is in front of Me westernmost building. An 11x17 hardcopy of
the proposed location of the new monument sign was included in yourpacket along
with a rendering of the proposed sign.
The new sign will give tenants the opportunity to advertise Mat they are located inside
the building. Thera are no visibility issues with the location of the sign. There are no
easements in the location of the sign. The sign is setback the property distance from
the access road
The Planning and Zoning Commission is considering this request because staff does
not have the authority to grant permission to add a monument sign on a site. That
authority is given to the Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council, thus,
this request before you this evening. A recommendation of approval is requested.
Ms. Huggins stated that the applicant, Richard Brown, with Chandler Signs, is here
this evening on behalf of the property owner.
Mr. Brown, Chandler Signs, stated that the purpose of the sign is rather simple. The
tenants in the professional building can't identify which building they are in because
there isn't a monument sign in front of the building they are in. They want to put up a
simple monument sign built out of stone to match all the other signs that are there.
The letters are going to be small— only 3 inches tall— single face. The address
numbers will be on there because that is what most people are given to find their way
to the building and those will be 8 inches tall. There will be room for six tenants.
They will all be dark bronze to match the letters on the other signs.
Commissioner Garrett Reed stated that he has used Chandler Signs. He wanted b
disclose that to the Commission. He stated that it doesn't/won't make him biased in
this decision. He asked if any site line surveys were done. Mr Brown stated that
there is a blue leasing sign on the site and that is where the new monument sign will
go. The blue leasing sign will come down and the monument sign will take its place.
Planning and Zoning Commission Page 10 of 12 Meeting DateOctober 17, 2013
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes October 17, 2013
Commissioner Reed asked for the dimensions of the sign. Mr. Brown stated thatit is
12-R. long and 4'10" high. Mr. Brown stated that they will comply with all Town
requirements.
Commissioner Reed asked if the sign is lighted. Mr. Brown stated it will not be lit.
Chairman Serially stated that most communities deal with this administratively. He
stated that ff there are no other questions or comments he will call for a motion for
approval.
A motion was made by Commissioner Allen, seconded by Commissioner
Sheridan, that this agenda item be recommended for approval to the Town
Council on 11/04/2013. The motion carried by the following vote.
Aye: 7- Chairman Senelly, Commissioner Allen, Commissioner Sadley,
Commissioner Sheridan, Commissioner Reed, Commissioner Card, and
Vice Chair Vowell
2013-634-T Staff liaison update of current and future items; questions and/or discussion.
The items PBZ considered on the October 3 agenda will be heard by Council on
Monday, October 21: 1) PD -21 amendment to allow electronic cigarette supply store;
and 2) PD -22 preliminary and final plats. The PD -22 final plat outstanding comments
have been met and we anticipate approval from the Council. At the November 21
P&Z meeting, I will give an update oo the action taken by Council.
Dr. Crompton's site plan approval that came before P&Z on August 15 and was
approved by Council on September 3 required tree mitigation. Dr Crumpton didnY
have room for the necessary trees on site and is required to pay $51,600 into the tree
fund. He appealed and the Tree Board heard the appeal on October 8 and
recommended a reduction of $20,000 and a payment plan ecdending over 4 years.
($1,000 for each year in business in Tmphy Club) The Town Council is the ultimate
authority and will hear the case on Monday, October 21.
Mr Beck has submitted an amendment to PD -30. I hoped to have some details to
you tonight, but it was submitted last Friday and staff is still reviewing d and 1 would
prefer not to give you any details until we are sure of what it is they are looking for it
Right now it appears there will be 3 or 4 amendments to the PD.
Chairman Senelly. I am going to ask you rather than going into details verbally that
you give us a notification by email as to when we might see those things so that we
are not surprised at the last minute and have adequate time to review it. I'd rather
have the hard copy than a verbal update as misunderstandings could occur.
Ms. Huggins; Yes sir. The other projects we are working on, and Tom is working
diligently on, are the Plats and Site Plan for Medical Office Buildings in Village Center
of PD -27. We hope to have Matto you on November 21.
Staff met with the owner of the Montessod School lot and they have their initial plan
for developing that site with a second building for restaurant/retail. Not a great site
fora restaurant/retail location so he might consider changing that to an office
building. There is no official submittal on that.
The Holiday Inn continues under review. We've struggled to move that forward with
their engineer.
Longer term review; We hope to bring a sign ordinance revision to you at some
point, but we don't have the staffyet to do that.
