Conduct a public hearing and consider action regarding a request made by homeowner
John Schober for a special exception to Section 14.02.351, Fencing, Retaining Walls and
Screening of the Town's Zoning Ordinance, to allow a fence to be constructed within four
(4) feet of the most front elevation along the eastern side of the home at 2721 Trophy
Club Drive, Trophy Club, Denton County, Texas.
Chairman Bowman opened the public hearing at 6:16 p.m.
Staff Presentation:
Matt Cox, Director of Community Development, presented the staff report and
recommendation to deny the request. He explained the proposed five-foot wrought iron fence
would be located within four feet of the front elevation, where the ordinance requires a minimum
of ten feet.
Applicant Presentation:
Mr. John Schober of 2721 Trophy Club Drive addressed the Board regarding the special
exception requestion. He explained that the request was to shift the fence post location to avoid
interference with a planned future window installation and to improve the property's layout for
a trained security dog.
Public Comment:
A letter was received from neighbor Terry Kesterson of 2723 Trophy Club Drive, in
opposition.
Chairman Bowman closed the public hearing at 6:24 p.m.
Board members discussed the request and expressed concern about approving a special
exception based on a potential future window installation rather than an existing hardship.

Board Member Boedecker motioned to deny special exception request. Board Member Trabold
seconded.
VOTE ON THE MOTION
AYES: Bowman, Boedecker, Trabold
NAPES: Parham, Richardson
VOTE: 3-2
Due to the specific manner in which the motion was stated and voted on, the Board's final action
resulted in a denial of the request. As reflected in the official Order on Case ZBA-25-005, although
the vote was 3-2, the required four concurring votes were not met; therefore, the special
exception was not approved. Some members expressed uncertainty at the time of voting, but
the final outcome is accurately recorded as a denial. The Chairman has signed the ZBA Order, and
the signed Order has been included in the official record.
4. Consider approval of the September 11, 2025, Zoning Board of Adjustment meeting
m i n utes.
Board Member Richardson moved to approve the minutes from September 11, 2025. Board
