She stated that in defense of the Council she was riot sure it was clear to the Council members on what they were voting for and she was riot sure the ordinance should have ever gotten out of the P & Z. Mrs. Hayden stated that she was not against special residential, she was for it, but if the ordinance is zoned for a minimum that is what the Town will get.

Another report from Independent American stated that they would adhere to the Gibralter plan and that they are worries} about the lack of activities for the children in the area.

Mrs. Clinkenbeard stated that she has spent a lot of time looking into the Grapevine master plan.

Mrs. Clinkenbeard stated that the Grpaevine master plan does not have any provision for attached housing or zero lot line~ Grapevine does not feel that a zero lot line home is a single family residence. Jim Dykes, 1105 Berkshire Court- Mr. Dykes stated that he is involved professionally in planning large scale communities and he has two observations regarding the ordinance. He felt that the ordinance does not go into enough detail and there is a level of detail missing. He stated that the Urban Land Institute and several developers around the country have evolved planning documents that go into detail and could be used by the city. He suggested possibly a committee to look into what other types of plans have been enacted nation wide. Jennifer 7ynes, 9 Creekmere- Mrs. Tynes suggested the Council wait on any action until the Citizens Advisory Committee survey comes back. Tom Matthews, 8 Winding Creek- Mr. Matthews stated that the city could not let Independent American set the criteria for our community. He stated that the comments made by Mr. Dykes concerning planning documents should be looked into. Robert Pierce, 1116 Berkshire- Mr. Pierce was concerned with the percentage of special residential homes as compared to single family residential. He felt that there should be a balance in the master plan so the city does not end up with a higher percentage of multi -family dwellings. Maria Cravens, 551 Indian Creek- Mrs. Cravens asked why the city even needs special residential? Council Member Martignago stated that he voted for the special residential ordinance. He stated that at the time he was convinced that some areas of land lend themselves better to a zero lot line or townhouse structure as long as they are in small areas and done correctly. In some areas they can be used as a buffer and if constructed right they can lend to the beauty of the area. Council Member Martignago stated that he felt there are a number of changes that need to be made if the city is going to have a special residential ordinance. He feel that there is a place for this type of construction in Trophy Club if it is controlled and done properly. There are different lifestyles and some people perfer to live in a zero lot line. Roland Desjardins- Mr. Desjardins stated that if the Council does its. ,lob there will not be a crowd at Council meetings. When there is a large crowd that means people are concerned with decisions that are being made. He stated that the fact that the Mayor turned the ordinance back to the Council showed that he listened to the residents and the Council did not. Gordan Marshal- Mr. Marshal stated that the Council would not exist were it not for the question of density. Sonny Evans, 212 Oakmont- Mrs. Evans thanked the Mayor for his recommendations to change the ordinance and asked that the Council protect the square footage issue. ,Ian Clinkenbeard, Fairway Village- Mrs. Clinkenbeard stated that the City needs to develop a system for notifying people who will directly be affected by zoning. She stated that she had contacted several people in the areas this ordinance would affect and not one member of the fir & Z or City Council had bothered to contact them. Mayor Carter stated that the City tries to notify people through newspapers and newsletters. He stated that he writes a column in the community newsletter informing the residents of items being addressed by the Council. Bob Hasbach- Mr. Hasbach stated that this issue is the reason Trophy Club incorporated. He stated that the people did riot want Independent American to ram a master plan dawn, their throats and why did the residents go to the trouble to elect people who would do the same thing? Bill Tynes, 9 Creekmere- Mr. Tynes stated that he is a member of the P & Z and did not vote for this ordinance. Mr. Tynes stated that the commission has been, trying to work on a roaster plan and they have been pushed by the developer. He stated that the coromission has been coerced in some cases. Mr. Tynes stated that the Attorney for Independent American asked the P & Z if they would like to see the golf course turned into a cow pasture. Mr. Tynes said the P & Z has done a good ,lob overall but in his opinion has been too hasty. In trying to grant some interim land uses to the developer, Mr. Tynes felt the Commission and Council has overdone it. He asked the Council to turn the ordinance down or send it back to the P & Z and welcomed comments or recommendations. Mr. Tynes asked for a show of hands of the people who felt Trophy Club does not need this kind of ordinance. The majority of the crowd raised their hands. Barry Knight, Attorney for Independent American gave several reasons he felt the Council passed the special residential ordinance: 1. Promote open space and tree preservation~ 2. Need for a variety in housing because of different lifestyles. 3~ Higher security, less maintenance. 4. Demand for special residential in Trophy Club. 5. Increase in property values. Surrounding areas near � Fairway Village, Summit and Oak Village Court have gone up in value. S. Less demand for City services. 7. Less demand on the school system. S. Tracks suggested are isolated. 9. Less traffic with special residential. Mr. Knight stated that hes was hesitant to bring up the last point but considering the comments of a very pointed nature that have been brought up he felt he should. He stated that special residential is important to the community because it is important for the community to have a positive relationship with the developer of the community. He stated that it is important to the community that the developer stay healthy. Mr. Knight stated that Independent American owns approxiamtely 50% of the land in Trophy Club and it is essential that the developer and the Town Council have a positive working relationship. Mr. Ron Whitten, M.P.F. Research- Mr. Whitten stated that there tends to be magnet's that attract a special residential housing. A highly desirable country club enviroment is one of those. In many instances, these are "empty nesters" and retirees who want to spend leisure time perhaps on the golf course. Mayor Carter pointed out to Mr. Whitten that in the M.P.F. report it was pointed out that in a number of golf course developments, the typical size of the lots were in excess of 5,000 sq. ft. Mayor Carter stated that the city wants to help the developer develop and utilize his 50% of the land in Trophy Club so he will get a maximum return on his investment. Mayor Carter then reminded Mr. Knight that the residents own the other 50% of land in Trophy Club. Bill Richardson, Independent American -Mr. Richardson gave the cost per square foot of the special residential areas in Trophy Club. He pointed out the increase in value from the time these areas were built. Jennifer Tynes, 9 Creekmere- Mrs. Tynes stated that it is standard operating procedure for Independent American to put on their "dog and pony show" at the end of the evening when everyone is tired and some people have gone home~ She stated that no matter what statistics they pull or whatever mirrors they hold up it does not change the fact that the majority of residents do not want this type of housing and that is the thought the Council should be left with. Kathy Whitworth, 255 Oak Hill Drive- Ms~ Whitworth thanked the Council for the hard work they have done. She stated that when Independent American gives examples of nice special residential areas in Trophy Club they are areas which they did not develop. Ms. Whitworth stated that they did not mention the Quorum, Towmhomes or Plantation. She asked if their representatives could give an example of a successful area of special residential they have developed. Mr. Knight stated that they did not develop the Quorum, Plantation or Townhoees. Mr. Roger Campbell- Mr. Campbell asked who the developer of the Plantation was. Mr. Laddie Woods of Independent American stated that it was Condo Homes Inc., Ray Stockman. Mr. Campbell asked what role did Howard Barnwell play in that? Mr~ Woods stated that he did not know who Howard Barnwell is. Mr. Campbell stated that it was interesting because he had met Mr. Barnwell and he told him he was the President of, the corporation that developed the Plantation. Mr. Campbell stated that Mr. Brown, with Independent American, stated that he had never heard of Mr. Barnwell. Mr. Campbell said that Mr. Barnwell was and still may be a resident of Trophy Club and he finds it interesting that no one has heard his name. "Maybe he was bragging about something he had nothing to do with", stated Mr. Campbell. Mr. Woods stated that he had never heard the gentlemen's name and that was for the public record. COUNCIL COMMENT Council Member Martignago- "I have no doubt in my mind that we don't want a special residential ordinance in Trophy Club", stated Council Member Martignago. "I don't think there is any reason to expound on it because I have heard it 100 times tonight". 1 still feel there is a place for it, but because of the comments I have heard here tonight 1 am going to make a motion to defeat the ordinance and not pass this ordinance at all" Martignago stated. Council Member Dayton seconded the motion. The motion was open for discussion. Council Member Neidenberger-"Isituphereand listen to everybody, and % am very glad to know that you don't want special residential"r stated Neidenberger. He went on to say that when the Council passed the special residential on the two tracts of land, that was the only place that special residential was going. He pointed out that anybody who said different did not understand the ordinance and did not understand the will of the Council. Council Member Neidenberger stated that the people in Trophy Clubr if they would tolerate special residential, were well protected by what was done by the Council. He said that the ordinance, was a general ordinance and does not have take every "nit-picking" thing into consideration. It covered very well what needed to be done in those two tracks. If the people did not want 6 units per acre thats fine, but you don't want 5 either, I'll tell you that right now", because �5 on five is not worth anything". "You are taking out all of the ingenmnity that any developer can put into any of these things, so we have told each other that we do not want special residential in Trophy Club". "That is exactly the decision that has been made and expounded by the people here tonight". "I am sorry that we had to have such a big show because you could have Just come forward and said that. We have to let the developer make money here. If you run him out you will run a lot of other things out that are beneficial to Trophy Club. I certainly will go along with reecinding the ordinance, we will Just recind it completely because nobody wants special residential and that may be the wrong move but apparently is the will of the people. I do want to make sure that you understand that there was nothing unprotected, so far as the citizens of Trophy Club. That was expensive property, there was no way they could develop it without putting in class dwellings on that property", stated Neidenberger. Mayor Pro Tem Vance- "It's hard to sit up here and here the comments and not be able to respond to them as they occur so subsequently any response of sitting here for four and one- half hours is a little belated", he stated. Mayor Pro Tem Vance stated that the Council is very concerned with quality housing and felt that the ordinance the Council passed protected the people. "Everyone is reading the ordinance from the point of view of worst case and granted the/re is room for the developer to move within a boundary". He stated that the ordinance is also for us as a city and if we make the ordinance incredibly restrictive we have restricted the City itself too. In doing a master plan, the city needs some degree of freedom in order to buffer certain types of development from others. Mayor Pro Tem thanked the people who sent flyers to get residents to the meeting because if the people come to the meetings they will be well informed and can have input into city decisions. He stated that in the past we did not have the ability to control things, but now we have ordinances with site plan review and site design reviews. Mayor Pro Tem Vance amended Council Member Martignago's motion to state that instead of shelving the ordinance he would recommend that the ordinance be turned back to the P & Z to review and take into consideration the comments and recommendations that have been made. Council Member Doran seconded the motion.

Council Member Dayton stated that she would not be living in Trophy Club were it not for special residential. She felt that some areas are made for special residential and would hate to see it thrown out altogether. She stated that the Summit and Fairway Village are nice areas because they are small and in nice settings. She stated that along with the comments made tonight she would like to see a little trust in the P & Z and City Council to see that special residential areas are tastefully done. If the ordinance is defeated altogether, it would deny a certain lifestyle in Trophy Club~ Special residential can offer a nice change to the area if it is intersperced in areas. Council Member Dayton stated that she would like to see the ordinance go back to the P & Z for review. Council Member Doran- Council Member Doran stated that is a bit of a travesty that 50% of the Jury has gone home while those on trial are still hanging in. He stated that he voted for the Nelson and the Knoll tracts under special residential. He stated that he did not do that because he did not know any better. there is a process in place to filter information up through the P & Z to the Council. Council Member Doran stated that he would Join Council Members Dayton, Vance and Neidenberger in their remarks in saying that they are saddened that special residential ordinance was treated as it was, only from a standpoint of education. He stated that he did not take this as a personal defeat because this is part of the process. He stated that the City Council has an obligation to send the ordinance back to the P & Z for review.
