6. DISCUSSION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION REGARDING THE CONTINUED REVIEW
OF THE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE 94-09 AND AMENDMENT 96-16:
Chairman Hamper addressed the TCWC members in the audience, by stating " We have never as a
Commission had an issue with the Trophy Club Women's Club. Our issue was never with the Women's
Club. We feel and have said it before that the work that is done and the charitable work that you do is
certainly should be commended and we commend you for all that. We have had no issue with the conducting
of the rummage sale or flea markets, whatever you want to call them, which was done on a community basis
and was not at all in violation of any kind of ordinance. What our issue was, and still is, hasn't changed a bit.
The Council does not and did not and will not have any authority to grant any kind of a variance on an
ordinance that is pre-existing. The Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance prohibits the conduct of a garage sale
in any residential area. Now, it not only prohibits it in our statement of each one of the districts, and this is
individually, but it also says you cannot have it in any kind of residential area within 250' of some and by
special privilege within 60'. So under no circumstances could there have been granted, legally at least, the
authority to have a garage sale at a residence. That really is the issue that is involved. I am going to tell you
very frankly, if you had come to the Planning and Zoning Commission back the first time that this was a
glimmer in your eye and you had an idea to do it, it could have all been done in the legal coniines of the
ordinance."
Commissioner Schaaf left the meeting at 9:30 p.m.
The Commission continued to review the ordinance.
No action taken.
7. OTHER MATTERS:
The Commission had a discussion with Council Member Kevin Carr regarding the hike/bike lane issue.
John Harbin, Beck Properties, Inc., stated he would be making a presentation to the P&Z within 30 days
regarding "Hogan's Glen."
