Drive and Indian Creek.

2. A request from First Baptist Church for zoning to build a
Church, with a build out of 50,0O0 ft.
3. I.B.M. requested a Commercial Zoning Ordinance to be
approved in a P.U.D. form on a 55 acre tract controlled by
I.B.M.
MASTER PLAN ORGANIZATION
1. Inventoring of existing land, uses and resources.
2. Statement of goals and objectives.
3. Draft Plan.
4. Implement plan through zoning and ordinances.
Mr. Alexander introduced Mr. Charles Goodin, Co -Chairman of
the Citizens Advisory Committee. Mr. Goodin outlined the
Committee's goals and gave the names of committee members:
1. Inventory the City in relation to existing land use,
traffic, population, etc.
2. Formulate community goals.
3. Prepare comprehensive plan.
4. Implement plan.
Mr. Goodin gave the names of the residents serving on the
committee: Tracy Kunkel, Randy J. O'Neil, George Danforth,
Tom Matthews, Phyllis Reuss, Dave Dill, and Brian Peterson.
Mr. Goodin stated that the time table for the Master Plan ,
in their estimation would take 9 to 12 months. This will
depend on how much help Independent American offers, as well
as other major land owners, and the amount of Citizen
support.
The Committee will have 2 sub -committees:
1. One committee will do nothing but inventory land.
2. The second committee will solicit citizen input.
Mr. Alexander stated that the Citizens Advisory Committee
will solicit input from the Citizens. The input will be
gathered by questionaires and public hearings. This will then
be put together by the C.A~C., and then turned over to the P
& Z. The P & Z Commission will then make their
recommendations to the City Council as it relates to drawing
up a policy and objective statement.
Mr. Alexander listed other items on the Planning and Zoning
agenda:
INTERIM LAND USE ORDINANCES
1. Sub -Division and zoning regulations for special
residential planned unit development, and standard
residential planned unit development.
2. Incorporated in the above items, will be current C.I.A.
deed restrictions and covenants.
3. Building and inspection process.
4. Site design.
5. Sign Ordinance.
6. Street drainage.
Mr. Alexander stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission
is taking great pains not to be defeated by "spot zoning".
"The development of Trophy Club is in the hands of one
developer, practically speaking" said Mr. Alexander~ if the
Planning and Zoning Commission takes a moratorium stance,
they would sue the day after the announcement. Mr. Alexander
stated that if that happened, the City would enter into, and
loose, a big law suit. The Commission feels that
corroboration is better than an adversary relationship. The
Commission and the City Council has made every effort to work
closely with the developer.
Mr. Alexander reviewed the presentation given by I.B.M. to
the Commission:
The presentation involves a 55 acre tract that extends from
King Road to the Plantation on Hwy. 114. I.B.M., at the
Commission's request, furnished a recommended ordinance
regarding commercial zoning~ This ordinance is currently
being used by Southlake. I.B.M. struck everything in the
ordinance that would not pertain to their development in
Trophy Club.
Mr. Alexander stated that the Commission is not suggesting
the City needs a commercial ordinance at this time, but if
I.B.M. has purchased that ground, or is in the process of
purchasing, they need to know from a development standpoint,
what the standards are that the City would exact in order to
have any commercial development. The Commission feels that
the city probably dosen`t need a commercial ordinance, but a
P.U.D. that has commercial zoning in it.
The next presentation was by First Baptist Church. The
Church owns property on the corner of Trophy Club Drive and
Trophy Lake Drive. They are trying to swap land with
Independent American for a different building site. Mr.
Alexander stated that the Master Plan will address the
subject of zoning for churches in Trophy Club.
The next presentation involved Independent American. They
have presented 4 projects to the Commission. Two are Planned
Unit Developments. They will be a Standard Residential R-10,
or 10,000 foot standard lot size. The other two will be
cluster homes, zero -lot line homes, townhomes, smaller type
housing. The Commission has asked Independent American to
present these two projects in the form of a Special
Residential P.U.D.
Mr. Alexander asked the Council to review the Resolutions and
Ordinances that will be coming before the Council, and give
the Commission feed back on their ideas.
The Commission is going to present the building and permit
process to the Council soon. They feel it needs to be
implemented as soon as possible.
Council Member Martignago made a motion to adjourn, Mayor Pro
Tem Vance seconded, motion carried unanimously.
