Page 3, Joint Public Hearing/Planning and Zoning Commission/ Town Council 11/21/85 Using the architect's renderings of the proposed "Village", applicant Hap Baggett of Oakmont Enterprises, Inc. described the location and concept of this non-residential planned development. The 8.9 acres at the northwest corner of Trophy Club Drive and Highway 114 has u master plan of upscale retail and professional businesses that meet the Town's Comprehensive Development Plan. Mr. Baggett and C.E.O. of Oakmont Enterprises, Inc., Cy Holley, believe their proposed project has higher standards than the Town's and maintains the ambiance and Continuity Of Trophy Club's image. At this time Mayor Carter asked for citizen comments. Tom Matthews of 11 Troon Drive opposed the project. He thinks that the current restrictions need to be stricter, so that Trophy Club does not become another Grapevine with its dense commercial buildings along Highway 114. Jon Livers of 111 CarnouStie Drive supported ^ The Village". He reminded everyone that in the future Highway 114 will be the service road, and the front entrance will be further west. This well thought out plan including the service station is needed for its tax base because economics is a real issue and rules the world. Susan McCabe of 1136 Sunset Drive, representing herself and her neighbors, was very supportive of approval. Mayor Carter then returned to answering the following citizen questions: HOW DID THIS OPEN SPACE BECOME COMMERCIAL? Town Planner, Dan 8outwell, explained that the Town has always known that the open space along Highway 114 was cOmmerciel. The reality of how it can be most effectively used is commercial; not residential. The developer did not initiate the land being commercial, only how to work closely with the Planning and Zoning Commission to rezone it to m planned development. He reminded everyone that the Town will be receiving the amenities of additional landaoapinB, stone type fences, Green area set -backs and ca low profile high quality commercial project. WHY HAVE THE SERVICE STATION AT THIS ENTRANCE AND NOT TROPHY WOOD DRIVE NOR TROPHY LAKE DRIVE)? Applicant 8aggett answered that this acreage is the most convenient to hide a service station with three (3) pumps and will he the least travelled of the entrances when Highway 114 becomes ten (10) lanes. Also, the service station will face Highway 114; not Trophy Club Drive. He suggested that citizens visit Highland Park, University Park, and Highland Village to see this type of plan. Page 4, Joint Public Hearing/Planning and Zoning Commission/ Town Council 11/21/85 He emphasized the increase to the area's tax base and that the tax dollar stays here in Trophy Club. He said that the Town may want to consider a half -cent tax increase in the near future. WHAT ABOUT PROPERTY VALUES? Applicant 8eBBett responded that the quality and amenities of "The VjlloO*y^ will determine the increase of real estate values. WHAT HAPPENS IF THE HOMEOWNERS OR THE TOWN REFUSES TO PERMIT THE SERVICE STATION? Planning and Zoning Chairman Hamper replied that the Commission conducts their workshops with honesty, integrity and in good conscience so that all the citizens benefit from any new development. Any project that the Commission recommends has been toughly negotiated for amenities and maintains the very highest standards and quality' Before finalizing any project all questions and concerns regarding compliance are addressed. Rick Horn of the engineering firm of Carter and Burgess said that sometimes local government's restrictions are Overridden at the State level and choices are not available.
