Club Code of Ordinances (Town Council).
Town Planner Payne advised that a subsection had been added to Section 14.02.352(g), Requirements for
residential districts, allowing artificial turf in rear yards if a grading plan proved that a drainage problem would not
Town Council Minutes February 13, 2018 Page 4 of 8
Town CouncilPage 11 of 40Meeting Date: February 27, 2018
be resulted. In addition, it was noted that a fence was not required to install artificial turf because fences were not
required by Code. The new language was specific to only allowing artificial turf between the rear façade of the
dwelling and the rear property line, thus requiring front and side yards (even within a fence) to be live landscaping.
In addition, Staff made revisions to the entirety of the landscaping regulations to update and clarify the
requirements, as well as reword or remove portions that were irrelevant.
Council Member Lamont inquired about installation restrictions for artificial turf. Director of Community
Development Uzee responded that installation was an eight layer process that would begin with grading and end
with drainage. He noted that commonly used artificial turf material was nylon or polypropylene.
Council Member Shoffner remarked that he previously recommended following suit on how the State of California
regulated artificial turf. He was in favor of Staff presenting a comprehensive product that included their
recommendations for the Council to consider. The State of California provided their municipalities with a
suggested ordinance that allowed for some amendments to be made. Most municipalities addressed issues of
slopes, height of the grass, shades of color, and material style.
Mayor Pro Tem Rowe supported Staff preparing the guidelines to present to the Council since Staff would be
responsible for the implementation and enforcement of such guidelines.
Mayor Sanders was in favor of establishing design specifications, such as requiring a grading plan and inspection,
and addressing allowable shade colors. He commented that it may be of benefit to review some comparisons with
other Texas municipalities.
Council Member Shoffner mentioned that he performed research on this topic and there was limited information
from other Texas municipalities, which was the reason he offered reviewing the State of California or the State of
Arizona regulations. He remarked that drainage issues should be addressed within the guidelines in order to
protect adjoining neighbors.
Town Planner Payne inquired if the Council had a preference for the aesthetics, specifically if artificial turf was
limited to the backyard or behind screened fencing.
Council Member Kurtz was not in favor of stringent mandates in a resident’s backyard, but he was in favor of
addressing any drainage issues.
Mayor Sanders received consensus from the Council to prepare an ordinance that allowed artificial turf in
backyards, front yards, and side yards.
20. Tabled Agenda Item - Discussion of and take appropriate action regarding the proposed Loop Road (T.
Class).
Town Manager Class advised that he met with representatives from the Corps of Engineers on November 13, 2017
about the Loop Road project, specifically to determine if there had been any changes since the 2014 denial letter
that the Town received and if there were any options to appeal that decision. He noted that the purpose of the
2001 Grapevine Lake Master Plan was to identify Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA) on all Corps property with
the objective being to minimize the number of easements granted once the ESA’s were established. As a result,
the following restrictions were placed on subsequent easement requests which have had a negative impact on the
viability of the proposed Loop Road:
1.Requests were only granted when no practical alternative exists.
2.The request must have the least identifiable environmental and visual impact.
3.The request must consider routing the easement to adjacent land outside the ESA when possible.
Factors the Corps uses to determine a “demonstrated need” for easements in ESA’s:
1.Whether there was adjacent private land outside the ESA that could be utilized for the easement (Trophy
Club Country Club). If yes, chances were virtually none for approval according to the Corps
representatives present.
Town Council Minutes February 13, 2018 Page 5 of 8
Town CouncilPage 12 of 40Meeting Date: February 27, 2018
2.Whether the proposed roadway qualifies as a regional arterial (traverses multiple jurisdictions). If no,
chances were virtually none for approval according to the Corps representatives present.
3.Whether there was a demonstrated “public safety” need. According to the Corps representatives
present, public safety was not a significant factor in overriding the ESA designation especially when
adjacent private land exists.
The November 13, 2017 Corps meeting confirmed the following facts pertinent to the Loop Road, and the
likelihood of a positive result in appealing the decision outlined in the rejection letter:
1.The Master Plan remains in effect and there have not been any changes to the ESA designation since 2014
that would be favorable to Trophy Club’s request for consideration of the Loop Road.
2.Recent changes to the Clean Water Act and the definition of what constitutes Waters of the US (WOTUS)
as identified in the 2017 Presidential Executive Order 13778, was not tied to the ESA designation granted
Grapevine Lake, and were therefore not applicable to a review of the Loop Road proposal. Essentially, the
prohibiting factor was the ESA designation and not whether Grapevine Lake or its tributaries were
considered WOTUS.
Should the Town decide to appeal the 2014 decision, the appeal process would start at the local Grapevine Lake
office and work up the chain through the Regional office, Fort Worth office, National Corps office, and ultimately
to the Department of the Army. The final decision rests with the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works,
who was the only individual with the authority to override existing national policy as it relates to ESA designations,
and potentially provide relief as it relates to the Loop Road. Following the November 13, 2017 meeting, the Corps
Grapevine Lake Manager acknowledged the impact to the resource was minimal and a possible exception could be
made. Staff proposes the following options in determining the ultimate viability of the proposed Loop Road
project:
1.Based on the Corps acknowledgement that the impact to the ESA was minimal and a possible exception
could be made, submit an update of the Loop Road project with any changes the Town considered as a
viable alternative, and request consideration.
In the event the updated request was denied:
2.Engage with Trophy Club Country Club representatives and determine the viability of utilizing nearby
Country Club property for the Loop Road.
3.Identify Local Council, State Senate and House, and/or Federal Congressional support for the Loop Road
project.
4.Hire an environmentalist to conduct an independent Environmental Impact Study to support a potential
appeal of the December 3, 2014 decision. Based on the result, potentially:
5.Contract with TNP to conduct a cost analysis, place before the residents as a Loop Road Proposition,
submit an appeal, or administratively close.
Mayor Sanders believed that the Town had documentation of maps prior to 2000 that may be beneficial to submit
if an appeal was filed. He supported engaging with representatives from the Trophy Club Country Club to
determine if they would be developing their northern most property for a possible UNT golf team practice area.
Council Member Jensen did not support the Loop Road unless it proved to be a safety enhancement by designation
of a report provided by the Fire Chief and Police Chief.
Mayor Pro Tem Rowe agreed that the safety aspect was critical. He was in favor of pursuing a path to place this
item in front of the voters and allow them to decide if they desired to have the Loop Road constructed; therefore
he supported pursuing the appeal process. Regarding the route of the Loop Road, he believed that anything
further south would not be feasible since it would disrupt Hole Numbers 8, 9, and 18, as well as their driving range.
He believed that representatives from the Trophy Club Country Club should be contacted because a portion of the
current proposed Loop Road would disrupt Hole Number 18 and he noted that the road should possibly go slightly
further east.
Council Member Lamont suggested creating a citizen advisory board to identify if there was any interest to pursue
the road and the Council could consider what their tasks would be.
Town Council Minutes February 13, 2018 Page 6 of 8
Town CouncilPage 13 of 40Meeting Date: February 27, 2018
Council Member Kurtz recommended that Staff focus on identifying if there was proof that there was a legitimate
public safety need.
Town Manager Class commented that the safety aspect was the third factor that the Corps used to determine a
demonstrated need for an easement in ESA’s. He advised that he has spoken with both chiefs and there was some
evidence but it would be difficult to prove that the Loop Road would enhance to any great degree of the safety of
the residents.
Motion:
Motion made by Council Member Shoffner, seconded by Council Member Jensen, to task the Town Manager with
creating a report that addressed the public safety need for the Loop Road and bring the report back to the Council
at a future meeting.
Mayor Sanders remarked that he was interested in the increased capabilities that the Loop Road would offer
specific to trip times, for example if a call came through for a location by Byron Nelson High School while an
ambulance was on Indian Creek Drive.
Council Member Shoffner commented that a factor that should be considered would be if Town assets were on the
west side of Town and there was a high risk emergency at the Wastewater Treatment Plant because a quick
response time would be crucial. He recommended Staff speak with representatives from the Trophy Club
Municipal Utility District to determine what items would be potentially hazardous.
The vote was taken.
Motion passed unanimously 7-0-0.
Council Member Lamont remarked that a prior Council had already spent the original allocated $2 million on the
roundabout project and Indian Creek Drive project.
Mayor Pro Tem Rowe commented that there were several residents who were in favor of proceeding with the
Loop Road construction, especially since it was part of the Town’s planning process over 30 years ago with the
assumption that the Loop Road would be constructed.
Council Member Shoffner reiterated that the Loop Road had been shown on Town maps for several years. He
agreed that it was incumbent for the Council to review the safety aspect since it was part of the Corps criteria.
Discussion took place regarding potential obstacles that would have to be overcome such as funding and the fact
that it would take several years before a ballot proposition was presented to the residents.
21. Discussion of items for Future Agendas to include agenda items for consideration on the February 27, 2018
Council agenda and items from the Town Council Future Agenda Items list (H. Fimbres).
This item allows Council to request the placement of items on upcoming agendas when the topic of discussion
requires research and review that cannot be accomplished in the time frame between regular Council meetings.
However, a Council Member may request that an item be placed on the next regularly scheduled meeting without
first placing that item on the Future Agenda Items list. All requests for agenda items must comply with Charter
requirements.
Council Member Jensen requested to add an item to the February 27, 2018 Council agenda regarding the 2018
Council meeting schedule specific to only holding one meeting during the months of March, July, November and
December. Additionally, this would be an item that he would like to consider at each Council Retreat. Council
Member Kurtz supported the item to be added to the agenda.

Town Council Meeting, February 27, 2018
Agenda Item:
Consider and take appropriate action regarding a Requisition Request for procurement of a
2018 Ford F550 Road Rescue Ambulance for operations in the Fire Department; and authorizing
the Mayor or his designee to execute all necessary documents (W. Carroll).
Explanation:
The Fire Department is requesting approval for the purchase of a 2018 Ford F550 Road Rescue
Ambulance not to exceed $265,000.00. This purchase was part of the approved FY2017-18
supplemental requests for capital replacement. This purchase meets the replacement
standards within the Town of Trophy Club vehicle replacement policy for the replacement of
the 2009 Ford Chevrolet C550 Ambulance. The current vehicle will be traded in to help offset
costs of the new ambulance. The purchase will be made through Siddons-Martin Emergency
Group utilizing H-GAC pricing. If approved, the purchase will be financed for a period of no
longer than 3 years through REV Group Financial Services (REVFS) at a rate of 3.680%. By
financing over 3 years at the rate of 3.68% we will expend only $9,622.68 for the life of the
loan. Current investments are expected to earn a higher interest that should more than make
up the interest payment. Finance has estimated a very conservative interest rate increasing
over this period of time in our money market account, that should earn approximately
$11,515.84 in investment interest over the life (taking into consideration the sum decreasing
with payouts over time), or a positive $1,893.16.
This purchase will be coded in the Town’s general ledger to the EMS Capital Expenses under the
Capital Replacement Fund 07-255-83700.
