SUBJECT: Public Hearing to Consider an Amendment to PD-Planned
Development District No. 27, known as The Highlands at
Trophy Club, Ordinance No. 2007-15 P&Z by amending Exhibit
“B” – Development Standards, Section IV. Lot Type
Regulations, and other miscellaneous changes to PD-27 as
necessary regarding this request. Applicant: High Trophy
Development, LLC Represented by Steve Lenart, Lenart
Development Company, LLC (PD AMD-10-034)
REQUEST: To amend the Lot Type Regulations for PD-27, The Highlands at Trophy
Club, to allow an increase in lot coverage of Lot Type 4 lots from 40% to 43%. There
are approximately 177 Lot Type 4 lots and all are located in Neighborhood 1.
Alternative: Chapter 13-Zoning Ordinance – amend and/or adopt new regulations
affecting the type of main and accessory buildings and structures used to calculate lot
coverage.
Lot Type 4 Lot Coverage Increase from 40% to 43%
PD-27 regulates the lot coverage allowed for each lot type in The Highlands at Trophy
Club, Neighborhoods 1 through 9. There are five lot types. The lot types, sizes, and
coverages are as follows:
TYPE MINIMUM LOT SIZE LOT COVERAGE
Lot Type 1 12,000 sq. ft. 35%
Lot Type 2 10,000 sq. ft. 40%
45% - up to 119 lots (of 238 total)
Lot Type 3 8,400 sq. ft. 40%
Lot Type 4 7,200 sq. ft. 40%
Lot Type 5 5,250 sq. ft. Less than 6,000 sq. ft. lot shall not exceed
50%
Equal to or greater than 6,000 sq. ft. shall
not exceed 60%
Planning and Zoning Commission Page 11 of 92 Meeting Date: May 6, 2010
A summary of Lot Type 4 Regulations is as follows:
Minimum Square Footage: 7,200 sq. ft.
Typical Dimension: 60’ x 120’
Minimum Width: 60’
Minimum Depth: 100’
Yard Setbacks: Front: 20’ – 26’
Side: 5’
Side Adjacent to Street: 15’
Rear: 20’
Minimum Dwelling Sq. Ft.: 1,650 sq. ft.
PD-27 defines “Lot Coverage” for Lot Type 4 as follows:
Lot Coverage: The combined area covered by all main buildings and
accessory structures… Swimming pools and spas shall not be included in
determining maximum building coverage.
Lot Coverage is calculated using the square footage of the first floor (only) footprint of
buildings and structures (including garages and covered patios) and dividing that figure
by the total square feet of the lot. For instance, a Lot Type 4 home with a lot size of
7,200 sq. ft. currently can have 40% lot coverage, which allows a home with a first floor
footprint of 2,880 sq. ft.
2,880 divided by 7,200 = 40%
For this example, an increase in lot coverage to 43% will allow the first floor footprint to
increase by 216 sq. ft.
3,096 divided by 7,200 = 43%
Building Inspector, Chris King, will be attending the Planning and Zoning Commission
meeting to discuss this request and to discuss the alternate suggestion of changing the
types of buildings and structures considered in the calculation of lot coverage.
PUBLIC HEARING: This item is a continuation of the public hearing notice published in
the local newspaper on March 31, 2010, for the April 15 P&Z meeting. All property
owners (153) within PD-27 were notified of this request.

STAFF ANALYSIS
The preliminary plat for Neighborhood 8 of Planned Development No. 27 brings forward
a plan for 184 single family homes. All residential lots are Lot Type 5 with a minimum
lot size of 5,250 square feet. The typical lot size in this neighborhood will be 50-ft. x
105-ft.
Development of the neighborhood will occur in two phases. Phase 1 will consist of 74
homes built toward the southeast end of the property. Phase 2 will consist of 110
homes. In addition, Lot 1, Block J, consisting of a perpetual flowage easement, will
provide 10.657 acres of common area running along most of the (north) eastern portion
of the neighborhood.
There is a 3.581 acre gas well site (Pad 4H) located in Neighborhood 8. The gas well
site adjoins 17 of the 32 residential lots in Block G. On April 26, 2010, the Town Council
approved a change to the Oil and Gas Well Drilling & Production regulations, Section
5.12, allowing the distance from wellhead to habitable structure to be a minimum of 200-
ft. As a result of this change, the following notes have been placed on the preliminary
plat and will also be required on the final plat:
“For lots surrounding gas wells, the distance from wellhead to habitable structure shall
be a minimum of 200 feet.”
“To build a habitable structure on a lot adjacent to a gas well, builder must submit a
survey, signed and sealed by a licensed surveyor, verifying the distance from the
nearest wellhead to the nearest point of the habitable structure.”
An existing masonry screening wall around the gas well site adjoins portions of the rear
property line of Lots 1 and 3, and shares all of the rear property line of Lot 2. There is
approximately 50-ft. between the masonry screening wall of the gas well site and the
rear property line of Lots 16 through 21, and approximately 150+-ft. between the rear
property line and masonry screening wall of the gas well site for Lots 27 through 32.
The owners of Lots 16 through 32 will have the option of privacy fencing as this will not
violate Town regulations regarding parallel fencing, which requires a minimum of 20-ft.
between fences.
Lot 30 of Block G and Lot 24 of Block E, which are called out as “common area” on the
preliminary plat, provide an easement for an existing 15-ft. pipeline for the gas well site
to transport the gas from the well site to a horizontal pipeline system running along
Trophy Park Drive, Trophy Club Drive, and Bobcat Blvd. terminating at the Encana Gas
storage facility in the City of Roanoke.
If truck access is needed to the well site for maintenance, that access will be from the
entrance to Neighborhood 8 off of Trophy Park Drive, across Nottingham Drive, and
along an all weather road designated on the plat as a 24-ft. access easement. The
drive leads to an existing wrought iron gate entrance on the well site.
Planning and Zoning Commission Page 88 of 92 Meeting Date: May 6, 2010
Trophy Club Drive currently ends in a cul-de-sac at the southeast corner of
Neighborhood 8. A temporary turnaround easement is provided to allow this cul-de-sac
to exist as long as needed. In addition, a 15-ft. drainage easement is provided at the
southeast portion of the property to facilitate drainage from the common area. Both
easements will be dedicated with the final plat which the owner plans to bring forward in
the near future.
The Police and Fire Chiefs have reviewed and approved the proposed street names.
The Town Engineer, Tom Rutledge, Teague, Nall & Perkins, has reviewed and
approved the preliminary drainage plan and preliminary water and sanitary sewer plans
for this neighborhood.
SUMMARY
The preliminary plat for Neighborhood 8 has been reviewed for completeness and
generally accepted engineering and planning design principles and standards. It
appears that all requirements of the Town’s Subdivision Regulations and Zoning
Ordinance have been met.
Staff requests a recommendation of approval to the Town Council for the preliminary
plat for Neighborhood 8.
