Chairman Senelly introduced the item and opened the public hearing.
The applicant, represented by Ubaid Mirza, came forward to state that they were the
owners of Mango Mama, a business that was not successful in the Plaza Shopping
Center, has now closed and they would like to open a Trophy Vapor store in the
location. He stated that this business is so new that not a lot of people know what
category it lies under – is it retail, tobacco, electronics – so that is the issue they are
facing with the shopping center in Trophy Club. He stated they do not sell any
tobacco supplies. He stated their supplies include “electronic” components so they
could be considered an electronic store. They are requesting an amendment to the
Plaza Shopping Center, Planned Development No. 21 (PD-21) zoning so they can
open up the store there. They have been open for almost a year in six locations
throughout the metroplex. He showed an example of what an electronic cigarette
looks like and explained that the device takes a nominal substance of a vegetable
glycerol and nicotine and makes a vapor. A smoker craves nicotine. The harmful
substance of a cigarette is tobacco which causes cancel. Nicotine is addictive but
does not cause cancel. Nicotine is also used in patches and gum. FDA rules do not
allow them to claim that this is a smoking cessation device because it is not approved
by the FDA to call it that. But, he claims, customers do quit “cigarettes” for good. He
stated they are headquartered out of Grapevine, Texas. He showed pictures of how
the store will look like outside and inside. He stated the stores tend to look like a bar,
but no alcohol is served. They consider themselves to be “BYOB” which means
“bring your own battery”. He stated they have a lot of good reviews on the interview
and he provided a few for the Commission. He stated they haven’t had a negative
comment yet, which they are very proud of. He stated that they will have 3 fulltime
employees and every store strives to hire from their own City. He indicated they
have paid $13,504.11 in sales tax in the past month from the six other locations
throughout the metroplex. He indicated they card customers and do not sell to
minors. He asked for approval of a PD amendment to allow their store in the Plaza
Shopping Center.
Chairman Senelly asked for staff comments. Ms. Huggins stated that the shopping
center is designed for a variety of retail uses and a retail electronic cigarette store
appears to be compatible with the permitted uses existing in the PD. She stated that
there is adequate parking in the shopping center for this type of use. The hours of
operation are compatible with the allowed hours of operation for the PD. The property
management company has signed off on this request. Ms. Huggins indicated that
she has not received any phone calls, emails or letters from residents within 200-ft.
who were notified of this request. Ms. Huggins stated that staff recommends
approval of this request.
Mr. Allen asked for confirmation that they are not going to allow under 18-year olds in
the store. Mr. Mirza responded that they cannot stop anyone from coming into the
store, but they will not sell to under 18-year olds. Mr. Allen asked if there is a law
Planning and Zoning Commission Page 5 of 29 Meeting Date: October 17, 2013
October 3, 2013Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes
that says they cannot do that? Mr. Mirza stated that he is not familiar with a law
prohibiting sales to minors, but as it is an addictive substance, so they will not sell to
minors. Mr. Allen asked Ms. Huggins if she is aware of any law? Ms. Huggins stated
that there is not currently a law that restricts the sale of this product to minors.
Chairman Senelly stated that it is his understanding that there are a couple of states
that now regulate the age of sales, but Texas is not one of them. He stated that the
FDA is not involved, but that by the end of October there may be some activity by the
FDA to regulate this industry. Mr. Allen asked if this store location will be where the
Mango Mama store used to be. Mr. Mirza confirmed that the location would be the
same.
Mr. Garrett Reed asked what the Commission is voting on since it appears that this is
an allowed use. Ms. Huggins responded that in PD-21 if the use is not specifically
stated as allowed, it is prohibited. She stated that a tobacco shop is allowed but as
Mr. Mirza said, there isn’t tobacco in this product. Electronic cigarettes are sold in the
Walgreens in that shopping center, but the Walgreens is a pharmacy/drug store
which is an allowed use in the PD. There isn’t anything in the PD that says an
electronic cigarette supply is allowed and staff doesn’t have the authority to make the
decision to allow the use if it isn’t specifically listed. It must come to P&Z and
Council, which is why we are considering this item tonight. Mr. Reed said that if it
was an electronics store, it wouldn’t be before the Commission tonight? Ms. Huggins
responded, “that’s right”.
Chairman Senelly closed the public hearing.

2013-611-T4.Discussion and Recommendation regarding Preliminary Plat approval
for an approximate 10.430 acre tract of land situated in the J. Michael
Survey, Abstract No. 821, to be known as the Villas of Hogan’s Glen,
Phase II. Applicant: Jason Wight, Jones & Carter, Inc. on behalf of
Midtown Development, Inc.
Staff Report - Preliminary Plat - PZ 100313.pdfAttachments:
Brian Kennedy, Jones & Carter, representing Midtown Development, request
approval of the preliminary plat of Hogan’s Glen, Phase II for 37 residential lots and 5
open space lots.
Ms. Huggins pointed out on the map the location of the property being platted and
that the plat is consistent with the concept plan that was approved when the zoning
from this property was approved in the year 2000.
Chairman Senelly stated that there was a question that came up in a prior meeting
Planning and Zoning Commission Page 6 of 29 Meeting Date: October 17, 2013
October 3, 2013Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes
regarding the drainage and sewage for this area and the Town Engineer has
indicated that these issues have been resolved favorably. Is that correct? Mr.
Rutledge, Town Engineer, TNP Inc., confirmed that the issues have been resolved
favorably.
Commissioner Reed asked for specifics on how they were resolved. Ms. Huggins
responded that one of the issues with drainage was where is the water going to go?
She explained that on the south edge of the property a drainage easement has been
added, which was obtained by the applicant after discussion over the past few
months with the Country Club. In addition, an open space drainage easement was
added between Lots 17 and 18. Regarding sanitary sewer, there was a question of
whether or not a lift station had adequate capacity to provide service to this
subdivision. The Town Engineer worked with the MUD, the Town, and the applicant’s
engineer to make sure that capacity was there. That took a little bit of time to resolve
and there is now a new lift station for Canterbury Hills subdivision that will handle
capacity for this subdivision.
Commissioner Reed asked if the drainage easement is a detention pond. Mr.
Rutledge explained that there is a swale and the water will run on the surface within
the drainage easement. He stated that the lots will be raised and filled in and the
water that comes from the golf course cannot come onto the Villas development so
they needed to work with the golf course so the water would flow down through the
easement into the detention pond in the corner of the Villas subdivision. There will not
be any increase in drainage downstream from what is there today.
Chairman Senelly asked if the detention pond has been adequately sized to retain
the quantity of water needed to be retained and it appears there is a wall around it
that looks like a dam. Is that what it is? Mr. Rutledge stated that it is a controlled
outlet structure. Chairman Senelly asked what the function of the wall is. Mr.
Rutledge responded that it will retain the water and meter it out. Chairman Senelly
stated that the detention pond wall section has no footing. Is that ok? Mr. Rutledge
explained that they will have to submit engineered plans for that wall before it can be
constructed.
Alger Moore, 407 Hogan’s Drive, said that it sounds like there is water coming onto
that property from almost every side and once the property is developed, where will
all that water go? Is it going to run back down Katie Lane? Mr. Kennedy, Jones &
Carter, stated that the water will flow through the property into the detention basin.
He stated that the walls of the detention pond will act as a controlled outfall structure.
Mr. Rutledge added that, right now, the site falls from the high side to the west of the
current development down to the southeast. It runs into the southeast corner where
the detention pond is designed and that is where it is metered out onto the golf
course. That is also where the drainage currently goes in its undeveloped state. It is
all running down to that corner. None of the homes that are to the west, north or
even those on the easterly area, none of this drainage will be around those homes.
Everything drains back onto the golf course, which is the reason the applicant had to
work with the Country Club to obtain an easement because all of those details had to
be worked out with the Country Club.
Michelle Reed, Katie Lane, said hello to Commissioner Allen and thanked the
Commissioners for serving the Town and spending their Thursday nights here. She
stated that there are a couple of things that concern her living on Katie Lane and
some of her neighbors, who, with football games, and couldn’t make it so she is
kind-of the voice of Katie Lane a little bit. “In some of the preliminary pictures that I
had seen, you could see where the gates were going to be and I know Carolyn just
mentioned where the gates were and some of us couldn’t see where they were so
can you go over where the gates are?”
Chairman Senelly: “Just for your information, the subject of gates is fine, but
Planning and Zoning Commission Page 7 of 29 Meeting Date: October 17, 2013
October 3, 2013Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes
understand it has nothing to do with platting.”
Ms. Reed: “and, I guess the reason why I was concerned about the gates is
whenever you look at the plat from 2000 the gates were on the plat.”
Ms. Huggins: “Were you actually looking at a plat from 2000 or were you looking at
the concept plan that was part of the staff report that was given to the
Commissioners?”
Ms. Reed: “I looked at the agenda online and what was in the packet. And, if it was
a plat I wanted to make sure the gates were discussed.”
Ms. Huggins: “Normally gates would not be on a plat. But, what was in the packet
was the concept plan from the original zoning document and that would have things
like that.”
Ms. Reed: “Ok, because when that had it and this didn’t, I was like, ok that doesn’t
make sense.”
Ms. Huggins: “A plat is to record land boundaries and so we are recording the
boundaries of the subdivision.” [Ms. Huggins went to the podium to use the light
laser to point out where the gates would be located. Pointing to the Map on the Wall:
“This is Katie Lane where it deadends right now in a cul-de-sac and it is going to
continue on to Meadowbrook. This is where Meadowbrook dead ends right now.
East and West Hillside is here. There is going to be a public street connecting
Meadowbrook and East and West Hillside Place and Katie Lane will deadend into
Meadowbrook Lane and the gate will be right there.”]
Ms. Reed: “And I am sad because I wish I would have come for the platting of this
because it is sad that you have estate plats right there and then on the same street
you have little plats but I’m too late for that.”
Ms. Huggins: “When that was determined was when the zoning was approved, and
the Villas were approved as part of the zoning back in 2000.”
Ms. Reed: “Unfortunately. Thanks.”
Ms. Huggins [to Chairman Senelly]: “If I can make a comment there?”
Chairman Senelly: “Please.”
Ms. Huggins: “I think if you can give it a little bit of a chance, I think you are going to
find that the builder, in negotiations with Mr. Beck to purchase this property, to build
the homes is going to build some pretty nice looking homes in this section of Hogan’s
Glen. I think it will be very compatible with the estate lot homes. Of course, the lot
sizes are half the size, minimum 7,200 sq. ft., which it was always meant to be that
with the original zoning, but I think you will find the builder, if that negotiation goes
through and that purchase goes through, the builder is going to build some very nice
homes in that section of Hogan’s Glen.”
Chairman Senelly: “I personally have had a lot of experience with this area, it’s
where I walk my dogs, and I know where the water ponds. I know what the issue is,
right now. When those small ponds fill up, what happens is it spills over and it goes
the same direction that it is going to go when this development is built. The only
difference will be is that there’s more substantial detention than there is now and the
drainage will have a more directed flow until it leaves the confines of this
development and then it looks like it will sheet flow onto the golf course as it does
now. I don’t know of any reason to expect that it is going to be much different on the
golf course side than it is today. But I do know that the property where the houses are
going to be won’t be as wet as it is now. That’s just my own experience.”
Commissioner Garrett Reed: “You said the lift station had to be upgraded or
expanded?”
Mr. Rutledge: “No, not really.” He explained that there was a timing issue. There
was a lift station designed for Canterbury Hills. The Canterbury Hills development
was developed first and then this subdivision came online. The engineers for both
projects had to be brought together to share and compare data for the lift station to
make sure there was adequate capacity for both subdivisions. Mr. Rutledge stated:
“It took a while, but the developer for Canterbury Hills actually was real gracious to
Planning and Zoning Commission Page 8 of 29 Meeting Date: October 17, 2013
October 3, 2013Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes
hold up shipping that whole lift station until we could grind through the calculations.
So we worked with Jones & Carter as they evaluated the lift station to make sure it
did have the capacity because there was a concern about that. We wanted to make
sure that if there needed to be modifications to it that it could happen prior to it being
installed. It is a very substantial lift station so as it’s turned out, the studies and the
reports were all updated to allow for this additional flow and we’re all good.”
There was a question asked if the developers split the cost of the lift station. Town
Staff does not know the answer to that question as that is a matter between the
developers, but as far as the Town and MUD are concerned, Mr. Rutledge stated that
this development is compatible with what the lift station is going to receive.
Chairman Senelly called for a motion.
Commissioner Allen made a motion to approve the preliminary plat for Villas of
Hogan’s Glen, Phase II. Commissioner Sadley seconded the motion. The vote was
4-1. Commissioner Reed voted against the plat.
Ms. Huggins: “A plat that meets the Subdivision Rules and Regulations cannot be
denied.”
Commissioner Garrett Reed: “Then why bring it before this body?”
Ms. Huggins: “Because our ordinances require that P&Z review it.”
Chairman Senelly: “Approved”.
Ms. Huggins: “Thank you.”
Mr. Reed: “Let’s speed things up next time. It doesn’t matter what we vote.”
A motion was made by Commissioner Allen, seconded by Commissioner
Sadley, that this agenda item be Recommended for Approval to the Town
Council, which will hear this item on October 21, 2013. The motion carried by
the following vote.

REQUEST: Consider a recommendation of approval of the Final Plat of
Neighborhood 7, Phase 3C, consisting of 107 residential lots and 4 open space
lots.
APPLICANT: Travis Clegg, Peloton Land Solutions on behalf of High Trophy
Development LLC
LOCATION: This property is located on the north side of Trophy Park Drive
between Chatswood Drive and Freedom Park (the dog park).
ZONING: Planned Development District No. 27 (PD-27). According to the
approved development standards for this neighborhood, there will be a total of
223 single family lots. Of those lots, approximately 222 will be Lot Type 3 with
the remaining lot being Lot Type 1. The 107 single family residential lots on this
plat are Lot Type 3 lots.
LOT TYPE 3 DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS :
Minimum Lot Size: 8,400 square feet
Front Yard: 25-ft.
Rear Yard: 20-ft.
Side Yard: 5-ft.
Side Yard Adjacent to Street: 15-ft.
Minimum Lot Depth: 110-ft.
Minimum Lot Width: 70-ft. measured at Front Build Line
Minimum Lot Width adjacent to street: 80-ft. measured at Front Build Line
Minimum House Size: 1,800 sq. ft.
HISTORY: This property is currently vacant. The zoning of PD-27 was initially
approved by the Town Council in December 2006 and amended in April 2007. A
preliminary plat was approved for The Highlands at Trophy Club Neighborhood 7
on December 18, 2006.

Final Plat
107 Residential Lots and
4 Open Space lots; 31.487 acres
The Highlands at Trophy Club
Neighborhood 7, Phase 3C
Planning and Zoning Commission Page 12 of 29 Meeting Date: October 17, 2013
PRELIMINARY PLAT:
Configuration of the streets of the final plat closely agrees with the preliminary
plat. Lot arrangement is altered slightly to allow for final design. The final does
not alter the density or the basic lot layout as approved in the preliminary plat.
REVIEW: The final plat document was reviewed in accordance with the
subdivision regulations as well as the development standards set forth in PD-27.
The tree survey of this site indicates most of the trees being removed are within
the building footprint of the home on the lot or within public street paving, which
does not require mitigation other than as required by the PD-27 zoning document
and the Town’s landscaping standards. The Town’s landscaping standards
require that each residential lot shall have a minimum of twelve (12) caliper
inches of trees. The PD-27 zoning document requires the builder to place at
least one of the required trees in the front yard. The developer is providing
landscaping in the entryway of Neighborhood 7 and minimum 3” caliper trees in
any common areas adjacent to a street.
There are additional revisions needed to the construction documents. The Town
engineer and Town staff request a recommendation of approval of the plat with
the stipulation that the construction documents must be revised and meet Town
engineer and staff approval prior to placement of this item on a Council agenda.
Planning and Zoning Commission Page 13 of 29 Meeting Date: October 17, 2013
If the documents are not approved by Town staff and the Town engineer by
Council date, the applicant agrees to a waiver of the requirement that Council
shall consider the plat within 30 days of the Planning & Zoning Commission
recommendation.
The outstanding comments to be met are:
General Comments
1. Provide all easements by separate instrument for review.
Grading Plan (Sheets 13)
1. All retaining walls within the right-of-way will be public improvements and must be designed
and approved as part of the street plans. Provide structural drawings & details for the
retaining wall along Balmoral Drive. Note: Wall design should be such that there is no geogrid
within the Dog Park. Review and approval will be required prior to the preconstruction
meeting.
Storm Drain Line SD-B (Sheet 23)
1. Provide a rock rip-rap channel or concrete rip-rap channel for SD-B similar to SD Line A
between the outfall and the culverts at the trail.
Storm Drain Line SD-C & SD-E (Sheet 24)
1. Per the meeting on 10/3/13, provide a concrete flume for the channel at SD-E.
MUD Comments:
1. At Sta. 8+27.30 and Sta. 2+77.72, install flush valves. Use a mini AVK fire hydrant flush valve
with a threaded 2” shoe and concrete top stabilization block for both.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval with the stipulation that the
above comments must be met prior to placement of this plat on the November 4
Council agenda.

Planning and Zoning Commission Page 17 of 29 Meeting Date: October 17, 2013
HISTORY: This property is currently vacant. The zoning of PD-27 was
approved by the Town Council on May 8, 2006. The final plat for The Highlands
at Trophy Club Neighborhood 4, The Isle of Turnberry, is consistent with the
concept plan of the original PD document and the preliminary plat approved on
January 22, 2007.
REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION: The final plat consists of 14 residential
lots. Minimum finish floor elevations are required and have been provided on all
lots as floodplain runs adjacent to almost all of the lots. Water flowing through
the floodplain area of Common Area 3 will enter into box culverts built beneath
Veranda Avenue and exit into Common Area 2, then flow north toward Lake
Grapevine. Common Areas 1 through 4 will be owned and maintained by the
Homeowners Association. Because these areas contain floodplain, they shall
remain in a natural state without improvements such as landscaping and
irrigation.
Tree Survey
The tree survey was received on Monday, October 13 and staff has not yet had
time to review this document.
Sanitary Sewer
There is an existing sanitary sewer easement running through Lots 6, 7 and 8,
portions of which shall be abandoned by separate instrument after the new
sanitary sewer easement has been built and accepted as part of the public
infrastructure for this phase of Neighborhood 4.
Infrastructure Construction Plans
There are additional revisions needed to the construction documents. The Town
engineer and Town staff request a recommendation of approval of the plat with
the stipulation that the construction documents must be revised and meet Town
engineer and staff approval prior to placement of this item on a Council agenda.
If the documents are not approved by Town staff and the Town engineer by

shall consider the plat within 30 days of the Planning & Zoning Commission
recommendation.

Discussion and recommendation regarding a request for approval of a revised Site Plan to add a monument

REQUEST: Discussion and recommendation regarding a request for approval of
a revised Site Plan to add a monument sign to Planned Development No. 23
(PD-23), Trophy Club Medical Plaza.
APPLICANT: Richard Brown, Chandler Signs, LP, LLC on behalf of the property
owner, HCP CRS1 Trophy Club TX, LP.
LOCATION: This property is located at 2800 State Highway 114 between the
Vineyards apartments on the west and vacant land recently rezoned to PD-34
(for hotel/restaurant/retail) on the east.
ZONING: Planned Development District No. 23 (PD-23). This planned
development zoning was approved by the Town Council in August, 2002.
REVIEW: The Trophy Club Medical Plaza has expanded in recent years and the
expansion has increased the number of tenants in the building. The owners
would like to add a monument sign to give the tenants an opportunity to advertise
their business and to help direct clients to the proper building (there are two
buildings on site).
The new sign will be located west of the existing signage, closer to the
westernmost ingress/egress to the buildings. There are not any easements in
the grassy area where the sign is proposed to be located. There are no visibility
issues with the location of the new sign. The sign is setback the required
distance from the property line, allowing good visual access both east and west
for vehicles exiting onto the westbound access road.

HISTORY – Why this Request is Before You
The Town sign regulations and site plan regulations do not allow staff to grant
permission for additional monument signage for a property that has been granted
signage approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council as
part of the site plan approval process.
The Site Plan for Trophy Club Medical Plaza was approved by Town Council in
May 2002 and Sign Criteria was attached as “Exhibit I” and incorporated as part
of the Site Plan approval. Exhibit I is shown as “existing signage” in this staff
report and is also attached as 11x17 hard copies.
RECOMMENDATION
The applicant requests, and staff recommends, a recommendation of approval by
the Planning and Zoning Commission to allow an additional monument sign on
the property as the property is large enough to support an additional sign without
creating visibility issues for vehicles entering or exiting the property, the growth of
tenants over the past 10 years will allow Trophy Club businesses to advertise
their location and help direct clients to the property building, and there are no
easements impeding the location of the proposed sign.
