REGULAR SESSION
2012-215-T2.Discussion and Recommendation regarding a request for approval of
a Final Plat for Neighborhood 7, Phase 2G (32.297 acres) located in

May 17, 2012Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes
Marc Paquette, Peloton Land Solutions: We are here to discuss and answer any
questions relative to this final plat.
Ms. Huggins: This is a final plat for the first phase of NH 7. There are 114 residential
lots and 1 open space on 32 acres. All are lot type 3 lots located in Planned
Development No. 27 and the plat complies with PD-27. As noted in the staff report,
there are a number of trees on the western end of this phase of this subdivision. A
tree survey was done by the applicant and the mitigation does meet the tree
ordinance requirements. The applicant is working with the Town to improve drainage
along the northern end of the subdivision to preserve the pedestrian trail. That will be
done under a separate contract. There are some additional revisions needed to the
construction documents and those must be revised and approved by the Town
engineer and Town staff prior to placement of this plat on a Council agenda. There is
a requirement that a plat must be heard by Council within 30 days of consideration of
the Planning and Zoning Commission. If that does not happen, the plat receives
automatic approval. Because there are some comments remaining to be addressed
on the infrastructure construction documents, we’ve asked the applicant to agree to
waive the 30-day requirement in case those documents are not approved by the date
that this plat is scheduled to go to Council, which would then delay it to a future
Council meeting date possibly beyond the 30-day requirement. The applicant has
provided that waiver. Staff recommends approval of this plat.
Tom Rutledge: There are some pending construction comments and we’ll get those
reviewed prior to Council consideration of this plat.
Chairman Hill then called on the Commissioners for comments or discussion.
Commissioner Sheridan asked that Trophy Park Drive be identified on the plat.
There were no other comments and Chairman Hill called for a motion.
A motion was made by Commissioner Sheridan, seconded by Commissioner
Reed, that this Agenda Item be Recommended for Approval to the Town
Council , on 06/04/2012. The motion carried by the following vote.
Aye:Commissioner Davidson, Commissioner Sheridan, Commissioner Forest,
Chairman Hill, Commissioner Reed, and Commissioner Richert

REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION
Gas Well Site 4H
This phase of Neighborhood 8 has a number of lots adjacent to a gas well site.
The applicant’s engineer has provided an exhibit showing that the distance from
wellhead to habitable structure shall be a minimum of 200-ft. To build a habitable
structure on a lot adjacent to a gas well, the builder will be required to submit a
survey, signed and sealed by a licensed surveyor, verifying the distance from the
nearest point of the habitable structure to the nearest wellhead. This has been
noted on the plat (Note #8).
Concrete Trail – Common Area Amenity with Public Access
A 6-ft. concrete trail will be constructed in open space Lot 2X, Block J and shall
be owned and maintained by the HOA for Neighborhood 8. The trail will be
constructed during the next phase (Phase 2B) of this neighborhood. The trail will
move out of the open space at Sheffield Dr. and run along Exeter Drive to (future
phase) Nottingham and Annandale Drives to connect with the sidewalks along
Trophy Park Drive. A note will be added to this plat, prior to Council
consideration of this plat, which shall read: “The home builder shall construct a
6-ft.sidewalk in lieu of a 4-ft. sidewalk in the street right-of-way in front of Lots 9 -
22, Block G and along the side of Lots 8 - 9, Block G.”
Recommendation
The final plat has been reviewed for compliance with the Town’s Subdivision
Ordinance, with the approved preliminary plat, and with the Development
Standards as set forth in PD-27. Staff recommends approval.

Planning and Zoning Commission Page 18 of 25 Meeting Date: July 5, 2012
SUBJECT: Discussion and Recommendation regarding a request for
approval of a Site Plan for the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-Day Saints located east of Independence Park at the
southwest corner of Bobcat Blvd. and Trophy Club Drive
CURRENT STATUS: The property is currently vacant. The property is zoned
Planned Development No. 27 (PD-27) and is located in the area referred to as
“Village Center” which allows for such uses as retail, offices, municipal facilities
and religious institutions. The architectural and site design standards for Village
Center in PD-27 do not apply to religious institutions; therefore, the design and
development standards in the Town of Trophy Club Code of Ordinances apply.
ANALYSIS
Total Land: 7.0441 acres
Lot 1 – 6.3702 acres and Lot 2 – 0.6739 acres
Primary Structure: 21,857 Square Feet
Accessory Structures: 60’x30’x11’ Pavilion
13’x15’x10’7” Storage Building
This site consists of two lots. The church building with a traditional steeple and
sanctuary, parking lot and accessory structures will be located entirely on Lot 1
and are not adjacent to residential zoned property. Lot 2 will consist of
landscaping, irrigation, and a 7-ft. concrete trail which will be dedicated to the
Town as public access for Trophy Club residents to walk or bike from Trophy
Club Drive to Independence Park East. A decorative wrought iron fence will
separate the two lots. The Town will ultimately own and maintain Lot 2, Block 1,
Trophy Club Drive Church Addition.

Parking and Paving
All entrance drives from Trophy Club Drive and Bobcat Blvd. shall be accented
with decorative street treatments – brick pavers or stamped or stained concrete.
The applicant has not indicated this on the site plan but a note will be added to
the site plan prior to Council review of the plan.
Ten (10) percent of the parking area shall have decorative street treatment –
brick pavers or stamped or stained concrete. The applicant has not indicated this
on the site plan but a note will be added to the site plan prior to Council review of
this plan.
The parking proposed on the site significantly exceeds the parking requirement
per Town regulations. A total of 110 parking spaces are required. The applicant
has provided 240 parking spaces, including 8 handicap parking spaces.
Photometrics
Spill lighting from parking lot lights measure between 0.1 and 0.5 foot-candles at
the outside perimeter of the parking lots. The parking lot light poles are 18-ft. in
height. All parking lot lighting is fully shielded as required by ordinance and the
light measurement at the property line is 0.0 foot-candles. This meets the
requirements of the Town’s lighting provisions.
Two (2) additional light poles, 20-ft. in height, are on site and direct lighting
upwards to illuminate the steeple.
The parking lot light poles and steeple light poles do not exceed the Town’s
regulations which state that light poles shall not exceed 25-ft. in height.
Elevations
The church will have a brick exterior. The exterior elevations meet the
requirements of the Town’s masonry provisions with the following exception.
Steeple: The height of the cupola and steeple exceed the 40-ft. height distance.
Top of cupola is at approximately 45-ft., exceeding the maximum by 5-ft. The
steeple is at 70-ft., which exceeds the height limit by 35-ft. There is a provision in
the ordinance which allows an additional 10 feet in height for things such as this;
however, the Commission and Council must approve anything taller than the 10
feet additional height.
Also, as noted above, two (2) light poles, 20-ft. in height, direct lighting upwards
to illuminate the steeple.
Storage Building
The architectural elevations for the 13-ft. x 15-ft. storage building are shown on
Sheet A701 of the Site Plan package. The storage building will have brick
exterior to match the church brick exterior. At a height of 10-ft., 7-inches, the
Planning and Zoning Commission Page 20 of 25 Meeting Date: July 5, 2012
building exceeds the maximum height allowance of 8-ft. for a storage facility.
Within the parameters of a Planned Development this type of adjustment to the
regulations may be made.
Pavilion
The applicant plans to build a 60-ft. x 30-ft. pavilion at the southern end of Lot 1
as noted on the site plan. The pavilion is 11-ft. in height which meets the Town’s
regulations of a 20-ft. maximum height for this type of use. The pavilion will have
a full pitched shingle roof. The applicant plans to construction the pavilion using
steel poles. The Town’s regulations require wood poles but aluminum poles may
be used if the poles have a wood grain (look) finish. Staff believes steel poles
would be a good choice to provide structural integrity to the facility. The “look” of
the poles, however, is at the discretion of the Planning and Zoning Commission
and Town Council. This type of adjustment to the regulations may be made
within the parameters of a Planned Development.
Fencing
A 6-ft. wrought iron fence with concrete mow strip will be placed on the property
line between Lots 1 and 2 of the site. The fence will be owned and maintained
by the church.
Monument Sign
The site plan indicates one monument sign measuring approximately 43-square
feet in size. The Town’s Sign Regulations permit one monument sign not to
exceed 50-square feet.
The sign is lit by an external ground light. The Town’s sign ordinance requires
that external lighting shall be down-lighted and shall not be seen from the
property line of the site on which the sign is located. The light cast from the
source may be visible at the property line of an abutting residential property, but
any spillover light cannot exceed 0.02 foot-candle of luminance.
The light shines upward at the monument sign and will be visible from the
property line of the site. The proposed light is shown on Sheet SD307 of the Site
Plan package.
The Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council may make this type of
adjustment to the regulations within the parameters of a Planned Development.
Dumpster
The dumpster enclosure will be located next to the storage building on the
northwest corner of the site. Three sides will be masonry (brick) to match the
primary structure. The fourth side will have a metal gate. The details are shown
on Sheet SD308 of the Site Plan package.
Planning and Zoning Commission Page 21 of 25 Meeting Date: July 5, 2012
Tree Preservation
There are 144 trees on this site, all of which will be removed. Seven (7) are
protected trees: six (6) Elm and one (1) Oak, for a total of 85 caliper inches of
protected trees to be removed. Prior to removal of these trees a Tree Removal
Permit must be obtained. The applicant must mitigate 1.5 caliper inches per 1”
removed for a total of 128 caliper inches required to be replaced on the site. The
applicant is proposing to plant 379 caliper inches in replacement of the protected
trees lost.
The landscape regulations require trees to be planted along the frontage of major
streets, one for each 30 linear feet. Thus, this site requires 20 trees planted
along Trophy Club Drive and 16 trees planted along Bobcat Blvd. The proposed
landscape plan provides for a total of approximately 21 trees to be planted along
the roadways of Bobcat Blvd and Trophy Club Drive. The pattern of planting is in
clustered form similar to what occurs naturally rather than linear.
Interior Landscaping
In accordance with the Town’s requirements, a minimum of 10% of the gross
parking areas shall be devoted to living landscaping which includes grass,
ground cover, plants, shrubs and trees. Additionally, the ordinance provides that
one (1) tree is to be planted for each 400 square feet or fraction thereof of
required interior landscape area. The applicant is providing 34 trees, from the
approved Tree Planting & Replacement List, to be planted within the parking
areas. This exceeds the 29 trees required by ordinance.
Lot 2 Landscaping
Landscaping located on Lot 2 consist of the perimeter landscaping, which has a
combination of Yaupoun Holly trees, Oak trees, and multiple shrubs. The
nearest edge of a parking surface is located on Lot 1 and is approximately 160
feet from the Lot 2 south property line. Additional landscaping is provided around
the parking area on Lot 1.
Entire Site – Landscaping
Overall, the proposed landscape plan provides for extensive landscaping of
approximately 62% of the site, which significantly exceeds the Town’s
requirement of 15%. A substantial portion of the landscaping is proposed for
yard areas along Bobcat Blvd and Trophy Club Drive.
In addition, 95 trees of 3 to 4 inch caliper and 23 two-inch caliper trees are
proposed for the site. With the additional shrubs, flowering plants, and turf, staff
feels this more than mitigates the shortfall of trees proposed along the roadways.
Within the parameters of a Planned Development, this type of adjustment to the
regulations may be made.
Planning and Zoning Commission Page 22 of 25 Meeting Date: July 5, 2012
SUMMARY
In certain instances, the purposes of the zoning ordinance may be achieved by
the development of planned units which do not conform in all respects with the
land use pattern designated on the Zoning Map or the district regulations
prescribed by the Town’s ordinances or the Subdivision Regulations. A planned
development (PD) may include amenities which creatively complement each
other and provide for variety and flexibility in the development of the site which

• A shortfall of trees along the roadways
The amenities that the Church is providing to the Town:
• Landscaping of 62% of the site which significantly exceeds the required

public access from Trophy Club Drive to Independence Park East
• Landscaping, irrigation and a 7-ft. concrete walkway on Lot 2, Block 1
A recommendation of approval grants the above considerations and amenities.
