increased density and adjacency of uses, it is incumbent that the planning and design
include enhanced street, sidewalk, hardscape and landscape design and building
groupings, street and sidewalk layouts and circulation that promote pedestrian use
while efficiently and safely accommodating vehicular traffic. Building standards are
intended to ensure that the physical appearance of all buildings are pedestrian
friendly, support the demands of the proposed density and use adjacency, and meet
all building and life safety codes and requirements.

Commissioner Richert Present
Commissioner Sheridan Present
STAFF PRESENT:
Carolyn Huggins Community Development Director
Scott Kniffen Police Chief

COUNCIL PRESENT:
Councilman Bill Rose
Approximately 45 residents in attendance.
Chairman Hill made the following statement: Good evening. Thank you for your interest
in tonight’s P&Z deliberations on its recommendations to the Town Council for PD-30.
Any persons present and desiring to be heard during the Public Hearing concerning the
item listed on tonight’s agenda should sign up on a form available by the door and
present it to Ms. Huggins. Each speaker will be allocated 3 minutes for their statement
on the item under consideration.
Tonight’s proceedings are being video recorded.
The Commission held two meetings in November to review and consider the
developer’s proposal for the 26.5 acre tract of land at the NE corner of SH 114 and
Trophy Club Drive. Tonight our first order of business will be to discuss in Regular
Session our positions on the recently submitted Planned Development document. No
action will be taken on the discussion at this time.
Following this discussion, a Public Hearing regarding the request for Planned
Development 30 zoning will be conducted. During the Public Hearing the Commission

DR

F
T
will hear from all persons who have signed up to speak. However, a Public Hearing is
not conducted as a “town meeting”. There are to be no spontaneous questions or
comments addressed from the audience to the Commissioners or to other speakers
concerning their statements or positions on the issues. If you signed up to speak and
hold similar positions to earlier speakers, please so state and assist the Chair in
expediting tonight’s meeting. The Chairman insists on decorum and that there be no
applause during the Public Hearing.
I request that Commissioners take note of the names of tonight’s Public Hearing
speakers and any points they make which a Commissioner might desire to pursue
further during the Public Meeting, as we will not interrupt or question speakers or
conduct discussions during the Public Hearing.
Following the Public Hearing, the Commission will be convened into Regular Session to
discuss and develop its recommendations to the Town Council for final action on the
zoning change request.
The Town Council is expected to consider its action on the proposed PD-30 at its
January 9, 2012 meeting.
We will now proceed with the items as posted on tonight’s agenda.
2011-569-T Discussion of a zoning change request for a 26.354 acre tract of land
located at the northeast corner of State Highway 114 and Trophy Club Drive, from the
current zoning of "PO" Professional Office and "CR" Commercial Recreation to a
Planned Development "PD-30" mixed use of multi-family, retail, professional and
recreational type uses. Applicant: Bill Dahlstrom with Jackson Walker, L.L.P. on behalf
of JSB Properties, L.P.
Chairman Hill asked the applicant to make an opening statement.
Bill Dahlstrom, Jackson Walker, L.L.P. stated that they appreciate all the time everyone,
from the community as well as the staff, have put into the application. He stated that
they have made some changes to the document and he will go over them briefly. A
definition for garden apartments has been added and they have prohibited that type of
apartments as they do not wish to have those type of apartments in the development. A
definition for a vendor kiosk and signage has been provided. Dry cleaner plants have
been prohibited. A Performing Arts Center has been prohibited. An SUP requirement
has been added for restaurants with alcohol sales. The heights of structures have been
reduced. Provisions have been added for architectural features for the rear of buildings
along Trophy Club Drive and Indian Creek Dr. so that the rear of the building matches
the front architectural style. The multi family density has been reduced from 1,000 to
500 units. There cannot be a stand-alone residential building; it must be done in
conjunction with a non-residential building. The clock tower will remain on the property
(although it may be moved to a different location). Environmental standards have been
added – specifically to noise, air, and glare to comply with the Town’s standards. The
Town Council Page 86 of 125 Meeting Date: Monday, January 6, 2012

supergraphics signs have been removed. The minimum unit size for multi family has
been increased.
Chairman Hill then asked each Commissioner to express his thoughts about the PD-30
document.
Vice Chairman Stephens: I am for the commercial development of the 26.354 acres
better known as PD-30. I think the residents are for that, I think P&Z is for that, but I
want to go on record to say that I am for the commercial development of that piece of
property. I want to help move this project forward. I don’t want to hinder it. Having
chaired two lengthy working sessions of P&Z, going over PD-30 line-by-line, I am
mystified by the applicant’s recent submittal of PD-30 which is basically its initial form
without any consideration of our comments and those two lengthy sessions. I recall PD-
27, better known as The Highlands, when we worked for months and months and
months on that project and their planners wanted a European feel for that development,
with shops and residences above. Their initial densities were 5,000 residences in
almost 600 acres of land. This was rejected by P&Z. Densities were just way above
anything we have allowed in our Town. So, we fought that battle and now The
Highlands is being developed and what is being developed out there, to my knowledge,
to this day, has no naysayers. It’s really nice and it has added to the quality and fabric
of our lives here in Trophy Club. Now then, PD-30 initially asks for approval of 1,000
multi-family units and we’ve heard they reduced that in this updated PD-30 draft
document to 500 on 26.354 acres. P&Z has said no. No multi-family residential
components in the two meetings I chaired. To my knowledge these gentlemen have not
changed their minds. Now then, regarding procedures, that’s Section 3 of this PD, P&Z
has said no to that because it will take accountability from the hands of the City of the
Town. My email has burned up. My wife is tired of transferring them to my account.
However, they have been very informative; one in particular that impressed me was the
one from Chris Mammon. He has only lived here two and a half years but he had some
insightful things to say having had experience in the City of Irving where apartments are
now a blight on that City. Regarding procedures, current Town procedures have served
us well from my knowledge. I’ve been on the Commission for a number of years, not as
long as Chairman Hill or Mr. Reed, and P&Z to my knowledge, during my tenure of
service, we have not drug our feet on any project that has been brought to us. We ask
a lot of questions, we think it is our duty and obligation to not just roll over and say go do
it, and we look at the details, as they say the devil is in the details and so we look at
that. That’s our responsibility so that when we make a recommendation to Council they
have something that has been filtered, if you want to say it like that, or it’s been looked
over, they don’t have to deal with something that is just bing out of the bag. We are not
perfect up here and Council certainly has the right and they sometimes do something
that we didn’t recommend, but that’s their responsibility, not ours. We are non-political.
We try to keep it that way. We look at the facts, nothing but the facts, and then we
make recommendations to the Council to take action on. So that is what is going to
happen with this PD. Now then, in order to keep this project moving in the regular
session after the public hearing tonight, I will move that we strike all references to multi-
family residences, the new terminology is urban residential; I will move that we strike

T
that in the updated PD-30 draft document dated 12-8-11. I will also move at that same
time to strike the whole procedures section, which is section 3, of the updated PD-30
document. Those have been the two major sticking matters for us on P&Z and, I think,
the Town. In doing that, what it is going to do is retain accountability through the
standard operating procedures that have served this Town well. I think the public, the
citizens, are demanding that of us and it is something that I feel strongly about. Now
then, let me say this again. I do look forward to a Performing Arts Center, something
similar in size to the Scott Theater out in the Seven Corners District of Ft. Worth. I’ve
been there several times. I’m a country western blue grass fan. Don Edwards,
probably the greatest living cowboy troubadour in America today, the world today, I’ve
seen him perform there and the beauty of going to something like that as opposed to
going to Texas Stadium to see Garth Brooks, which I did once, I’ll never do that again…
he’s that big [indicating with his hands ‘very small’], the sound is terrible, the heats
terrible, but at Scott Theater Don Edwards is sitting right there [indicating with his hands
‘very close’]. I get to hear that great tenor voice of his and his expert fingers work the
frets on that acoustical guitar. It’s just exhilarating to me to attend something like that,
to take my grandchild to something like that. I look forward to that in this PD. I also look
forward to dining with my wife. She likes to eat out. I like to eat. I like nice places to
eat. I like white linen tablecloths and white linen napkins. I like that. I like taking my
extended family. This little 15-year old granddaughter of mine, she has got me lock,
stock and barrel. We took her out to Pappadeaux last Monday night to celebrate that
15th birthday. I look forward soon to celebrating that 16th or 17th birthday with her here
in the Town of Trophy Club at a new restaurant in PD-30 instead of having to drive and
play what’s my lane trying to get from my house to Dallas. Planner Lyle Schaller said,
many years ago, if it is not necessary to change, it is not necessary to change. The
only difference between those two statements is that subjunctive “if” in the first
statement. My conclusion at this point is it is necessary to change PD-30 as it is
submitted to us. That’s the purpose of the motion I will make in the last session, that’s
the actionable session of our meeting tonight. Now then, in light of past meetings,
unless you guys have really changed, I expect the same.
Commissioner Sheridan: I would like to be the one to second that motion to approve it.
That’s my goal. In the meantime, though, I’ve reviewed the document and with the
proviso that there is zero residential in the document and that all procedural staff
approval has been removed, I went through it and I would like to have a dialogue, a
back and forth on both of us, to resolve any issues I’ve got remaining so that I can be
the second of that motion. As an example of the complexity that is remaining, on page
4 of the 12-8 document that I’ve reviewed, there is a definition of hardscape and
hardscape includes streets and driveways. Then you go to page 5 and there is a
definition of open space and in the definition it has that it is an amenity and the open
space definition includes hardscape. It says that amenity includes streets and
driveways and parking. Then you go to page 13 where it defines how much is
calculated in open space and I’m concerned with the open space in that calculation
including the streets. I’d like a dialogue between us to resolve my issues and I’m only
using this example as a microcosm of the issues. I’d like to go through the whole
document and say these are my concerns and talk back and forth and try to get some

type of agreement so that we can recommend approval to the Town Council of a
document tonight. Thank you Mr. Chairman.
Commissioner Reed: I pretty much concur with their comments. When we got this
latest draft, I was not only stunned but I was disgusted to see that they had completely
ignored all of the things that P&Z had spent five or six hours on reviewing this project. I
expected to see a draft come back from them that took into consideration what we
expected them to do. All we are asking them to do are follow the rules and regulations
that every developer for the past 25 years has followed here and it’s worked just fine
and there is absolutely no reason to change the process. I’ll be brief and let the others
talk.
Commissioner Davidson: Well Gentlemen, I have to say the current document was a bit
of a disappointment but at the same time I think it is worth articulating to yourselves, the
Commission, and the residents that you have in fact made several concessions along
the way. Some are fairly significant. There are other pieces that fundamentally adjust
what we do within this PD over any other PD that we have. We’ve agreed to many of
those points in our previous sessions and I think that speaks to the Commission being
insightful enough to understand that maybe some of our current conditions don’t
necessarily apply; however with that said, I think the overwhelming majority of the
residents feel that certain pieces and parts didn’t necessarily reflect Trophy Club and I
believe, Mr. Twichell, you stated very clearly in one of the early meetings that if you
don’t have buy in from the residents then the project is just not going to fly. I think the
residents have been pretty clear in their displeasure at least in the current offering. With
that being said, what is encouraging to me is the amount of effort that both of you put
into previous developments. They are very good developments. They are
representative of what needed to happen in those areas and have been very successful
and they continue to do so. Trophy Club is considerably different than many of those
places. In order to do something similar, it would require you to dig deep and find those
changes that need to embrace the business side of it yet still maintain the quality of life
in Trophy Club that everyone came here in the first place expecting to retain that. So, I
by no means want to keep development from taking place because we need that, but it
can’t come at the expense of the taxpayers. There are more than just a few examples
of where you bring in a development, it’s good for 5, 10, 15, maybe even 20 years, and
then bad things start happening. I think we only have to look to the current malls
around the country to see that exact type of turn take place where it’s all exciting at first
and then it falls apart so being able to maintain that unique aspect of that area and
make it desirable so that it is something that will continue to prosper along the way and
benefit the residents instead of being a burden, that’s what we are all looking for. Now,
given the fact that there’s been a lot of compromises along the way here, even with that
I would ask, is it still possible to meet all of these requirements where the residents can
be proud of the end result where the Town does in fact benefit from the higher tax
revenue but without incurring excessive overhead and really stretching our limited
resources beyond what they are capable of today. And, will you be able to, as a
developer and land owner, achieve your goals and objectives for this project. It’s a
Town Council Page 89 of 125 Meeting Date: Monday, January 6, 2012
DR

F
T
balance and that balance is going to be reflected in this PD so thus it has to be stated
such.
Commissioner Forest: I agree with everything people have said except I don’t think any
of us have gone far enough on this. My feeling on this is that the whole PD-30 should
be voted down and a new proposal brought to P&Z by the developer. There are just so
many issues that we can’t agree on that we are getting from the public that we are going
to spend more time fooling around trying to adjust this PD that we start off from scratch
again and I realize that’s not what the applicant wants to hear but if they come out with
what we’ve been talking about and agreed to it could happen very quickly. How high
are we talking about with the height of the buildings? Garden apartments…
Residential… the signage… drainage problems… mixed use…. I look at that and I’ve
read it so many times I’m sick of it. Really bothers me. These issues have not been
addressed. I’m going to make a motion whether it gets a second or not, when it comes
time to make a motion that the whole thing be turned down. I’m not against the
developer on this at all. That’s fine. But I think our job sitting up here is to look after
what the people in Trophy Club want, and what we are hearing from the people in
Trophy Club… I can’t even go to church anymore.
Commissioner Richert: As the newest member of the Planning and Zoning Commission
I was very excited when I first heard there was a planned development being
considered for this piece of property, something that has been needed for a long period
of time. I’m not being facetious. I enjoyed the statements that were made at that time
that there was a spirit of cooperation that would be shown in this and that all parties
would be heard, that there would be several public meetings, and a lot of discussion
about what was best for the community. I’ve been very disappointed in this last draft
that I’ve seen. As we painstakingly went through item by item, our concerns and we
think the citizens concerns on all the items within this 57 page document, I’ve been very
disappointed that those have been virtually totally ignored except where some have
been changed to be even possibly more difficult to work with. I agree with those that we
need to go back to our document that we provided and the information we provided of
things that we think need to be changed and discuss those in detail so we can reach a
mutual agreement. Until then I’m very disappointed and will probably second one of the
motions proposed.
Chairman Hill: My feeling on this is that the Commission, through a couple of very
lengthy and detailed meetings with the developer expressed our problems with a
number of the items in the original document. We submitted a copy of all of the
proposed modifications to the developer and what we got back 10 days ago essentially
reverted to the initial documentation that was furnished to us with some minor
modifications in regard to some apartments being eliminated and I don’t feel we’ve
gained anything in the several months we’ve been involved. So unless some of the
Commissioners have any second statements they’d like to make I believe we’ve
concluded the first part of our regular session. At this time we’ll move to the Public
Hearing.

2011-599-T Public Hearing regarding a request for a zoning change for a 26.354 acre
tract of land located at the northeast corner of State Highway 114 and Trophy Club Drive,
from the current zoning of "PO" Professional Office and "CR" Commercial Recreation to
a Planned Development "PD-30" mixed use of multi-family, retail, professional and
recreational type uses. Applicant: Bill Dahlstrom, Jackson Walker, L.L.P. on behalf of
JSB Properties, L.P.
Rufus Nicholson, 235 Oak Hill Drive: I am glad to hear the opinions of the Commission
and I’m very encouraged. I’m going to limit my comments to just one area – regarding
the multi-family units. I understand the developer has made some concessions going
from 1,000 to 500. If 1,000 is bad, why is 500 good? If 500 is only half bad I cast my
ballot for saying let’s not have any bad at all. There is another comment I just heard
about, increased tax revenue from the development and if that is considered to be part
of the multi-family I have a comment on that. I googled the cost for a public school
student just before I came over this evening and it looks like it’s about $10,000 per year
per student in Phoenix which is the lowest in the country, up to $27,000 per year in New
York which is the highest. I figure we probably fall somewhere in the $12,000 per year
per student, I’m not sure how that fits in, but has this been considered in the statement
that they are going to increase the tax base? Maybe we’re going to have more
expenses than we are going to gain by it.
Joel Quile, 350 Quorum: I appreciate the opportunity to speak. I want progress.
Obviously it is important to me as it is to most people here and I want the Town to grow.
Of course I want to make Beck happy because I rent from that property so definitely
want to stay in their good graces and I think they’ve been pro-Trophy Club, they have
done a lot for us, but I love this Town and long after many of us will be gone I believe I’ll
still be here. My position is this. I would urge P&Z to follow Mr. Forest’s lead and table
this or shut it down and I would go even a step further than that, I think we don’t need to
fast track it, not that you guys haven’t done due diligence and I appreciate it greatly,
you’ve worked hard, but a couple of meetings and some powwows with you and some
garage sale signs out on the property is probably not enough in my opinion. I don’t
want it to go the way of the roundabout or the Mormon Church. I think my thought is
that we put a committee together with people on committees and Town Council as well
as just citizens; I served on a citizen board for the charter with Councilman Rose and it
was highly productive. Every Monday for a year we fought and argued with the likes of
Ben Brewster and all kinds of people and it was valuable and it helped. So that’s my
idea. Take six months or a year and really communicate well with the Town and what
we are trying to do. I preach for a living and how you start a sermon counts and how
you end it counts. Same with flying. Trophy Club started really strong. This is the last
big deal for Trophy Club. I hope we end it really really well. I would urge us to take our
time, not rush it, and get something that is good for everybody, everyone is excited
about, and we’ll end it really really strong. I’m hoping that Mr. Stephens and I will have
dinner in a nice restaurant and he can introduce me to some country music and so I’m
looking forward to what’s going to come, but let’s take our time.

John Caldwell, 255 Oak Hill Drive: Mr. Stephens took away most of my thunder. I do
realize there are a number of reasons to be very thoughtful about how this is approved
and what we do with that 26 acres because it is the gateway to our community. I
passed out pictures of the Quorum and the disrepair of the Quorum and my thought on
that when I did that was to have people understand what can happen with multi-family
dwellings with an absentee landlord and also recognize that the pictures are not just of
those in the floodplain, those pictures are others that need to be improved as well. I
also recognize that property was there 20 or 30 years ago. I don’t know how many of
you play golf but anyone who plays golf in Trophy Club and particularly plays the
Hogan, and there are thousands of people every year who play in tournaments here,
and the first 13 holes of the Hogan are beautiful, well kept single family dwellings,
people out working in their yards and keeping their gardens, and on 14 you drive along
and there are woods on the right, beautiful, well kept homes on the left all the way
down, you go across the creek and you look over to your right and there is the Quorum.
I’m not saying that I know what the answer to that is, but I know that must be an
absentee landlord and I was told there are issues here as far as getting that resolved,
however, an absentee landlord 30 years from now, and I think the majority of us won’t
be here, I think the odds are not very good that we will still be here; we’d love to still live
in Trophy Club, but from a longevity standpoint we aren’t going to make it. Those new
homes that are being built out there are younger families and they are going to be here
30 years from now. They will want to see the gateway to Trophy Club, and I think that
26 acres is the gateway to Trophy Club, they will want to see that as something that
represents this Town and everything that it stands for. Ya’ll said a couple of times when
you were going through this that we’ve got rules and I think one of the rules for that
property is that there are no multi-family dwellings in that property so what the hay?
Why not just follow the rules. Thank you, Mr. Stephens. I appreciate you taking all my
thunder away, I had another 15 pages here but you took it all from me.
Susan Edstrom, 269 Oak Hill Drive: I would like my remarks made a part of the public
record. I want to commend and thank the Commissioners for their hard work on our
behalf and for hearing what residents said, listening to what we did and didn’t want, and
working to make this development something that is good for all residents. I share in
your disappointment in the lack of responsiveness to the input. The developer and
landowner clearly either didn’t hear us or you or they ignored it. So, in my mind that
verges on an insult. We’ve been asked by Council to clearly define what we do and
don’t want. They unfortunately may not have been listening well enough to delineate
between the two because at the meetings I’ve attended, both desires have been pretty
clearly stated. So, to begin with, we do not want apartments. I don’t care if you call
them an apartment, a work life unit, an urban unit – it’s an apartment. I disagree with
the developer and those working with him that this development can’t work without
them. I think part of the disconnect is they don’t understand what Trophy Club is. We
are not an urban neighborhood or a development of disconnected gated communities.
We are a cohesive bedroom community who desires commercial development that will
provide convenience to us and those communities that surround us. We would also like
to see destination type businesses that would draw people into our community. We like
the idea of a development that would allow for walking throughout. In the last meeting
Town Council Page 92 of 125 Meeting Date: Monday, January 6, 2012
DR
A
F
T
the architect referred to this as an urban development. That is not what Trophy Club is
and it makes absolutely no sense to me to say that this last 26 acres of commercial
development should be something wholly different than what we are today. Maybe he
should come out during the light of day and drive around and really see and understand
what we are and what Trophy Club is. 500 or 1,000 units in my opinion will not make an
iota of difference when you talk about the residential numbers already available in this
area and of people eager to shop and dine. We are in the neighborhood, Trophy Club,
of about 8,000 residents. Roanoke approximately 4,000. Westlake about 1,000. And
Southlake 27,000. If the businesses on that 26 acres cannot survive with those
numbers for night time business, adding 500 apartments will not make or break,. So
you have to ask the question, who needs the apartments? The businesses or the land
owner? Second, we should not abdicate viewership of changes out of the public eye.
That is not open government. If changes are made they should not happen behind
closed doors between staff and the land owner or developer. We have had recent
cases of issues that have occurred after decisions were made and ordinances, PDs and
such were in place. Eliminating the public accountability opens up the opportunity for
additional issues if that should come to pass. Having served on Council, I know
firsthand that what we see on a concept plan can and does often turn out to be two very
different things. If anybody would like to sit down for about 30 minutes or so with me I
can give you a half a dozen examples of what I’m talking about. So to end, I’d like to
say that I hope your recommendation to Council will not include any apartment, work life
unit, or unit by any other name that is an apartment. I hope that you will not allow
abdication of changes not to be made through the process that we have today because
it keeps it in the public eye, through your eye and through your lens before it goes to
Council and before anything is done.
Lisa Hennessey, 45 Panorama Circle: I agree with everything Susan Edstrom has said.
I’m totally on board with that. I’d like to thank Planning & Zoning for listening to the
residents concerning what we do and don’t want because it doesn’t appear that the
Town Council is, because Mayor White was quoted in the paper last week as saying,
we know what the residents don’t want, but what do they want? I don’t know if any of
you are aware, but two days ago in our local news a newscaster stated, it looks as if
apartments in Trophy Club are going to go through. This should alarm everybody here
because that means that somebody they interviewed at our Town has led the news to
believe it. If that is the case, does it really matter what the residents want and what
Planning & Zoning recommends -- if you recommend no multi-family or urban
residential? Because if the Town Council has already made up their mind about this will
you be able to make a difference? Can you change their minds? They are elected and
hired officials and they need to understand that the residents of our Town do not want
any type of multi-family dwellings and if they get passed they can pretty much be
assured that they won’t be reelected to represent the best interests of our Town. I
would also encourage Planning & Zoning to change the wording of the hotel to include a
full service restaurant so we can get a quality hotel. The present definition of hotel as
noted in the document would actually qualify property such as a Studio 6, which is
another extended stay hotel, Days Inn, Microtel & Suites, as well as other numerous
hotels of this class. I personally contacted these hotels. They all had 24-hour staffing,
Town Council Page 93 of 125 Meeting Date: Monday, January 6, 2012
DR

F
T
a lobby and a meeting conference room. I do not believe that Trophy Club residents are
going to be comfortable with those types of hotels being built at another Town entrance
that could be up to ten stories in height. If we really want to rebrand our Town, why not
consider an upscale hotel and spa. We love Trophy Club and it is a great place to call
home and we would like to keep it that way. Having more low income multi-family
dwellings or another low income hotel will not help our Town image. However, I say this
in the absence of a formal plan which has not yet been offered to the community. It is
very disturbing to me that the professional representation of Trophy Club would even
consider moving ahead on approvals without firm documented design concepts. While
the Shops at Legacy are very nice, they are not at the entrance to a golf course
community and they do not back up to our neighborhoods. I would encourage you all to
stay firm and say no to the multi-family dwellings.
Danny Mayer, 2201 Prestwick: By now you have probably figured out that I am retired
and I write a lot of letters because you get a lot of them. I moved out here about a year
and a half ago from Southlake and absolutely love the community. I’m an old northeast
Tarrant County boy, I grew up out here, like country music. First of all I’d like to say to
these two gentlemen [indicating Mr. Dahlstrom and Mr. Twichell], we do not need to
vilify them, they are just the messengers. We do understand that folks, we do
understand that you are just the messengers. We have a wonderful community. I was
very distressed, as you were, when I saw that last document posted. I was coming
tonight and my request was going to be to reject the entire thing and send it back
because obviously they are not listening to us. Failing that, I think the next best option is
long as it doesn’t have residential in it, I’m all for it. I have been all for it from the day it
came about. We need commercial development. We need retail space there. We
need restaurants. We need hotels. Whatever. But it is so convoluted and I certainly
agree with you Commissioner Sheridan it is so convoluted I don’t know how you can
take the document that is there and just take out the multi-family and make it work.
There are just too many questions that I don’t think you are going to be able to vote on it
tonight. Just a couple of other things. Trophy Club has 91.4% owner/residents. We
have 6.3% multi-family. When you add those two together, there are not many homes
out here that are rented. I live in Turnberry. The second phase of Turnberry is just
opening. There is not a home being built in there right now that is less than $500,000
and they go up to $800,000. That is not an apartment style community. We don’t need
multi-family here. The developer says it won’t work without apartments but you guys
are not stupid, obviously. You can drive around. There are lots of developments in all
of these suburban towns around here that don’t have a parking stacked on top of them.
I certainly would like to see the 26 acres become something that is good to us. In my
letter that you got yesterday or today I made four points. We have yet to see a site
plan. I remember in the first meeting Mr. Stephens said that we would never approve
anything without seeing a site plan. We haven’t seen one and I spoke to the Mayor
about that last week when we were at a Christmas party; I buttonholed her and she said
that she has asked for a site plan and Mr. Beck says he won’t give us a site plan until he
knows what is being developed. So, my suggestion is to go with Commissioner Forest.
I’d just like to see it done away with and start over again and maybe they’ll listen this
time.

Gary Mellama, 11 Hayes Court: I’ve been here 33 years. I was part of the first
development of this city. We all met over at Dale White’s house and we put the
beginning of this city together. This city, in my mind, was designed, implemented, the
thought pattern was we would be a bedroom community, we would be a recreational
community based on golf, based on tennis, based on a good residential family. I agree
whole-heartedly with Mr. Forest. I agree with Mr. Stephens. I agree with Susan. I
agree with most of the people who have talked here. This thing has gone to the part
where, I don’t like coming to these things, but you’ve finally got me up because I’m a
little upset. So please Mr. Forest you can jam it through, do it. Mr. Stephens, I love
country music too, but I don’t want multi-family. I don’t want the problems that entails.
Please take that into consideration.
Daniel Donegan, 2211 Prestwick: Similar to Danny Mayer, I’ve lived in Turnberry for a
year and a half. My wife and I moved here because my wife was transferred here and
we have two 11-year old twins. One of the reasons for coming to this community was
for their future. It’s a great community. My kids go to Medlin Middle School. We
started a community service project. When I was in the air force I lived in multi-family
communities off base. I was active in the community but when I would ask people for
help I would never get it. When I go to my neighbor and ask their kids for help, I get it.
My kids at Medlin, we’ve already provided the city with 200 hours of free community
service and that’s what kind of community I want to live in for my kids’ future. I do not
want multi-family development. I’m definitely for thoughtful commercial development. I
don’t just want something dropped there and not thought out. I do want you guys to
pass on to the Mayor and the people making the final decision that the residents do not
know enough about this. I found out about it within the last two weeks. As a resident,
they need to send out letters to everybody and say this is what is on the block and this
is what is going to affect you. The rest of the city needs to know about this. I definitely
think I’m going to be more involved. I can guarantee you 20 of my friends will be at the
next meeting, if not more. Again, we need to let everybody know about this and you
guys need to let the information spread to the community that it is going to affect.
Robert Hoch, 245 Oak Hill: I’ve lived in Trophy Club since 1989 and I’ve been on Oak
Hill since 1992. This application for a change in zoning is a farce. The P&Z
Commission to recommend to the Town Council, Mr. Forest stole my thunder, that the
entire application be rejected and the Council should honor that recommendation and
consign the entire 59 page document to the recycling bin which is tomorrow. This
property has been zoned for professional offices for years and that zoning classification
is what home buyers expected when they bought homes here. Agreeing to this
proposed zoning change would create an indelible blot at the main entrance of our
community and would provide nothing of value to those of us who live here. The
proposal, with its minimal setbacks, multi-family housing and over tall buildings seeks to
enrich the developer at the expense of the environment that has attracted people to this
town for many years. If granted, it will adversely affect the appearance of our town;
diminish property values for everyone and not just for those who live in adjoining
properties. I see no earthly advantage to the approval of this zoning change and I defy

anyone to argue convincingly that there is any benefit to our community in granting its
approval. I ask that the Council reject it and maintain the zoning as it is. Should the
Council decide in favor of this request, over Mr. Forest’s upcoming motion I presume, I
offer my full support to those who will begin the effort to recall the Council members who
voted for it.
Christina Cari Pearlman, 6 Hamper Ct.: I love Trophy Club. Earlier a gentleman spoke
about an absentee landowner and showed us the results using photos of the Quorum.
A picture tells a thousand words. This is rental property and rental property is income
producing property and investors are always looking for the bottom line – profits. On
the other hand, homeowner property is not a depreciable item. Income producing
property is. Rental property investors require profit. Yet, it also requires additional
investments. Those investments require additional funds for repairs, for maintenance,
for obsolescence of design, for unplanned emergencies and repairs and etc. On the
other hand, homeowners have a love and pride for their homes and the quality of life is
utmost important. Do not be offended that homeowners do not want multi-family
apartments, work live arrangements, or whatever you want to call it, because rental
property investors have different objectives than homeowners.
Ms. Huggins: There are 20 residents within 200-ft. of this property, all of whom were
notified of this public hearing. The next speaker, Linda Gray, is one of the residents
who lives within 200-ft. of the 26-acre property.
Linda Gray, 11 Jennifer Ct.: I live within 200-ft. of this property. I want to thank P&Z for
your considerations to the residents. I think you guys and all of us are on the same
page. I am in favor of the retail commercial development. When we bought here in
2003, it was obvious then, as it is now, that that land will be developed for commercial
reasons. I love the idea of the Performing Arts Center, the upscale restaurants, the
retail, even an upscale hotel. However, I am totally against any multi-family housing
and any building over four stories tall. Many people in here have spoke about the multi-
family housing so I don’t need to go on about that, but I haven’t heard much about the
heights of these buildings. I’ve driven around and everywhere I go I am counting one,
two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, four, how tall are the buildings around here.
Most of them are between two and four stories tall. You don’t get ten story buildings
until you hit Dallas and Ft. Worth. To put a 10-story building on this property would
be… I don’t know, some sort of beacon or something. I don’t know what it would be, but
I just would not fit. It would not be congruent with anything else that is going on around
here.
Chairman Hill closed the public hearing.
2011-569-T Recommendation of a zoning change request for a 26.354 acre tract of land
located at the northeast corner of State Highway 114 and Trophy Club Drive, from the
current zoning of "PO" Professional Office and "CR" Commercial Recreation to a
Planned Development "PD-30" mixed use of multi-family, retail, professional and
recreational type uses. Applicant: Bill Dahlstrom with Jackson Walker, L.L.P. on behalf
of JSB Properties, L.P.

Chairman Hill asked if the applicant wished to make any statement. Mr. Dahlstrom did
not wish to make a statement and Vice Chairman Stephen asked to make a motion,
citing Robert’s Rules of Order when other Commissioners asked for discussion, i.e., Mr.
Stephens stated that Robert’s Rules of Order – you make a motion and you can only
discuss what is considered before the body via a motion. Therefore, Chairman Hill, I
move that we strike all multi-family residences under any other names mentioned in PD-
30, dated 12-8, urban residential, we strike all of that and we also strike Section 3 which
deals with procedures.
Commissioner Sheridan seconded the motion and then asked to amend the motion to
include all references to staff approval – not just Section 3 – because there is reference
to staff approval all through the document. Vice Chair Stephens agreed to the
amendment.
Commissioner Forest stated that there are too many other things needed to amend. I
can’t list all the items that would be needed to amend a motion so I am voting against it.
Commissioner Sheridan asked if it is feasible to continue with that amendment. He
stated that he would like to have a dialogue and go over the rest of the document to
discuss it as a commercial property, but if there is no compromise on the amendment
then there is no reason to keep going. But, I would like to keep going.
Mr. Dahlstrom: We really believe that a residential component is integral in this kind of
development. I understand what the community is saying and I believe that what we
are proposing is not a garden variety apartment and if anybody would have visited any
of the developments that we’ve shown you could see that the quality of residential is
there. Keeping the dialogue open is always favorable. The procedures section is
advantageous; your consultant said that’s advantageous also for the types of
developments we’ve worked on so I believe it would be desirable to remain in, but
obviously we will deal with the Planning and Zoning Commission’s recommendation as
far as both of those issues go.
Commissioner Sheridan: If there is no agreement to that then I would not vote for my
own second.
Commissioner Reed: I’m just waiting for Mr. (?)[can’t hear] recommendation.
Commissioner Davidson: As part of this amendment to what we are talking about, we
still have several pieces that were not included in this document and it would take the
better part of an hour probably to go through each and every piece that we’ve already
gone through before so in my view we have an incomplete document based on our
previous discussions. We’ve brought up several issues by the Town’s folks so now I’m
between a rock and a hard spot here.
Commissioner Sheridan: I have six pages of discussion items to correct that.
Town Council Page 97 of 125 Meeting Date: Monday, January 6, 2012

Vice Chairman Stephens: My motion does not preclude other motions and other items
of discussion. My motion is simply to get to the heart of the matter and those are the
two sticking points and there are no doubt some other issues that we would want to look
at tonight, but these are the major points and if we can get past this then we can deal
with the other. This is not the last motion, no doubt, tonight.
Commissioner Reed: I agree with James’ idea of those things, but the point is those are
two major things, but there are dozens and dozens of minor things that we covered
during those five hours of discussion we had in P&Z. So if we follow James’ idea we
haven’t resolved the problem. We still have those dozens and dozens of other items
that have to be cleared up. Beck Properties was notified of what we did in P&Z, as
we’ve mentioned two or three times already. Beck completely ignored them. I don’t
think James’ proposal goes far enough. There is too much to do. We’ve got to get back
to Mr. Forest.
Commissioner Davidson: It is clear that it is incumbent upon the P&Z Commission to
put forth to the Council a complete document. This is anything but. I think trying to
amend what we have is problematic at best. If the changes that we had suggested in
this document, and it was reviewable at that point, and we were to come to a consensus
as I believe we did on a couple of sticking points, so thank you for that, then I think we
could in fact move forward with it. As the document sits, if this is what we hand over,
we have no guarantee that it is going to represent what the P&Z recommended in the
previous meetings. If it was going to, it would have been in there right now. I have a
distinct problem with that piece.
Commissioner Richert: I agree. I have a serious problem with not going over those
items that were submitted by P&Z as recommended changes. There is a lot of detail
involved in that. We have a lot of concerns about some very small items because they
do affect what will be the city’s role in supporting this property 10, 15, 20 years from
now. I see a number of instances on the negative side where things that are stated in
this document seriously impact the ability of the city to, frankly, take care of the property
and support the Town’s mission statements.
Chairman Hill: We have an amended motion before us.
Commissioner Sheridan: That was the primary point, but all I was trying to do was get
to a point of having a dialogue to go over the rest of the document. Without going over
the rest of the document to discuss height, to discuss FAR (which is density), to discuss
open space – that’s where I was trying to get to. I was just trying to move it along so we
could continue the conversation. I think the property needs to be developed. I think it
needs to be developed commercial. I think that would benefit the Town. I would like to
see it developed in a high quality and with a boutique hotel. The question is the
terminology. How do you put high quality into language that is legally enforceable and
how do you put boutique into a hotel that is legally enforceable. If I listen to the
architectural styling that they’ve asked for I would basically agree I just have a problem,
Town Council Page 98 of 125 Meeting Date: Monday, January 6, 2012
DR

T
and would like to talk to them, about how to put it into good language that would create
a final document. If we are just going to say, hey you didn’t go a good job and go back
and start over again, where at sometimes I felt that was the way to go, at the same time
we have the gentlemen here and I would like to continue talking.
Commissioner Forest: I’m not bringing this up to postpone this thing and drag it out or
anything else, but there are so many issues on there that are brought up… number one
height. Hotel – how high is that going to be. Parking garage. Signage. Drainage.
There are so many things that we are not able to… why can’t the developer… he knows
what we want or at least he should know what we want and what we don’t want. Come
on. Bring us something we can take a look at and go from there. For us to sit here and
tell the guy what to do I don’t think that’s our position at this point. If he wants to do it
then he can bring it and present it to us. If we like it, fine. If we don’t then we can turn it
down, but I’m not sure it’s our place to sit here and tell him whether he should have a
one story building or a two story building.
Commissioner Sheridan: Along those lines, when we’ve had previous developers in
here and I’m thinking very specifically of D.R. Horton, they had the option and the
ability, and we had the ability, to sit there… there were tables, we were here, we went
back and forth over the whole thing, we went through densities, we went through
quality, we went through issues, and it was a conversation. It wasn’t here’s my
comments go back and redo it. It was an open dialogue and that’s what’s not here right
now. We had a meeting on the 3rd and made a lot of recommendations. We raised a
lot of issues that we were concerned with and unfortunately they weren’t able to attend
for some reason. I would like to offer them the opportunity that we had with D.R. Horton
to at least one-on-one go back and forth with us. They don’t have to. They can go back
and just either take this to revise it to our previous meetings, which all of my comments
will include the November 3 meeting… ok, I don’t mean to belabor the point.
Chairman Hill: From my viewpoint, what has happened here is the document was
brought to P&Z, which was considered at the meeting on November 3 and then a
second meeting on November 17, I believe, and suggestions were made about
modifications, reduction in multi-family housing and all this, yet when we get a
document back here in early December it has reverted essentially to what was
presented the first time with very little consideration of those several hours of meetings
in November. Either it wasn’t expected to be accepted by the Commission and the
Council, or we were supposed to belly up to the developer’s desires to putting whatever
he wanted out there. There’s where I see where we are now. If you are willing to go
back and review the points that were made previously and make modifications, then we
would have something to consider. As it is I don’t think we have anything here to
consider.
Commissioner Davidson: I think we’ve all made the point pretty clear but I think we’re to
the junction with this process that it’s very broken right at the moment and I don’t think
that’s fair to everybody that’s concerned. I agree with Commissioner Sheridan that
having that dialogue I think is important and doing that as a small group in executive
Town Council Page 99 of 125 Meeting Date: Monday, January 6, 2012
DR

T
session or however it makes sense that we did it with Horton going forward to get that
input, understanding what the sticking spots are, what it’s going to take to have the
development be successful, but incorporating what we understand clearly from the
residents and what goes into our own zoning ordinances. I think we could come up with
a document that represents all parties concerned here and we don’t need to do it in an
adversarial way. Everyone stands to benefit in some way shape or form here but also
we stand to be burdened with something that is less than desirable if done improperly.
To force this through in its current form is not acceptable. It doesn’t fit the Town. It’s
not going to fly with the residents and I think that’s a danger. I don’t think we want to go
there, but we do want to develop it and I hope that part is very clear. We want to do that
with you, not against you. So there’s lots of latitude in here and I think that when you
get the agreement from the Town and from the rest of the residents and even from the
Council members on what items are in play and what aren’t in play then that helps
narrow down the parameters as to where you can exercise your creative license and
really come up with something that represents what I think the majority of people are
looking for. You are very talented folks; you have proven that over the years. We need
to leverage that talent and I don’t want you to think that we are pushing you away
because that is not the intent. I view this as it’s a correction or small adjustment in
direction. You’ve compromised on multiple items here and done so maybe reluctantly
at times, but you have done it and I commend you for that. That is a very important step
and that should go a long ways towards the residents as well to show that there is some
good faith here. I trust in you guys ability to do this. I think we have an environment
here that is different than what you had before and I think working together to make it
the proper PD representation so you can hold that document up with pride and say yes
this is the model going forward that is where we need to be. That I will support whole-
heartedly.
Commissioner Reed: I understand Dennis’ idea. It’s great to have dialogue with people
but we, in essence, presented our side of the dialogue with the results of our two
meetings. Their dialogue coming back to us completely ignored it. So where do we go
from there. They know what we want and we get nothing back from them that even
relates to it so I think it is a dead horse.
Vice Chairman Stephens: I want to go back and give a rational for my motion. We
need to know, as a Commission, if applicant is willing to continue the dialogue in light of
this motion before this group tonight. I hear Mr. Dahlstrom saying we will continue to
talk. I like that because we want to continue the conversation, but we are not interested
in continuing the conversation as long as there are multi-family residential words in this
document. Zero. There is no need in continuing the conversation if they will not accept
the city maintaining its standard operating procedures which serve us well and will serve
you well. We will help you. We are for you. So I made that comment beginning the
meeting tonight to give everybody a heads up and hopefully by doing that we would
avoid any apoplectic comments from anybody around here or out there. I’m testing the
waters. At least it begins the dialogue where we want to begin it and that is at the heart
of the matter – the commercial development of the property sans residential and your
procedures. If you are willing to continue that then I think I’ll call for the question. That

is a non-debatable motion and we have to vote at this time. I move the previous
question.
Chairman Hill called for the vote. The motion failed 2-5 (Chairman Hill and Vice
Chairman Stephens voted for, all else opposed.) Commissioner Sheridan asked to
explain that he voted no because he wished to be able to go over the rest of the
document with the applicant and without that he can’t vote for the motion.
Chairman Hill recognized the applicant.
Mr. Dahlstrom: First of all I would like to say that this is not an adversarial procedure.
In discussing this with the architect, I just don’t know if we can live without the
residential component and I believe the procedural issues are important to us if that
helps you in making your decision tonight.
Vice Chairman Stephens: I make a motion that we recommend to the Town Council
denial of Planned Development No. 30 (PD-30). Commissioner Sheridan seconded the
motion and then withdrew his second so that Commissioner Forest could make the
second.
Chairman Hill called on Commissioner Reed who stated: This pretty well fits my
feelings.
Chairman Hill called for the vote and the denial passed unanimously.
Mr. Dahlstrom thanked the Commission for its time.
Chairman Hill adjourned the meeting at 8:30 p.m.

DEVELOPER’S AGREEMENT
(HAMPTON INN & SUITES)
An AGREEMENT between the Town of Trophy Club, Texas (hereinafter referred to as
the "TOWN") and Hydra Hotels LLC, acting by and through its duly authorized representative
(hereinafter referred to as the "DEVELOPER"), for the installation of public improvements and
facilities within the TOWN limits of Trophy Club, Texas, for Hampton Inn & Suites, more
particularly described as a tract of land consisting of approximately 2.015 acres of land,
hereinafter being referred to collectively as the "PROJECT," and such public improvements
being more particularly described in Section II of this AGREEMENT. It is understood by and
between the parties that this AGREEMENT is applicable to the lot contained within the Final
Plat as presented to TOWN Staff on August 15, 2008, and to the offsite improvements necessary
to support the PROJECT, more particularly described in Section II of this AGREEMENT. It is
further agreed that this AGREEMENT, when properly signed and executed, shall satisfy the
requirements of the TOWN’S Subdivision Regulations Ordinance No. 2001-21 P&Z.
I. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
A. It is agreed and understood by the parties hereto that the DEVELOPER has employed
a registered public surveyor licensed to practice in the State of Texas to prepare a
final plat of the PROJECT.
The Project was platted for a hotel use together with allowed incidental and
accessory uses. The Project received preliminary plat approval from the Town on
April 7, 2003.
B. It is agreed and understood by the parties hereto that the DEVELOPER has employed
a civil engineer licensed to practice in the State of Texas for the design and
preparation of the plans and specifications for the construction of all public
improvements and facilities described in Section II and covered by this
AGREEMENT. Unless otherwise specified herein, such plans and specifications
shall be in accordance with the TOWN’S "Design Standards for Paving, Drainage
and Utility Improvements" and the North Central Texas Council of Governments’
(NCTCOG) Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, as presently
adopted.
C. The DEVELOPER shall award its own construction contract for the construction of
all PROJECT storm drain, water, and sanitary sewer public improvements and
facilities for the completion of the Project. The DEVELOPER agrees to employ a
construction contractor(s) who is approved by the TOWN, said contractor(s) to meet
TOWN and statutory requirements for being insured, licensed and bonded to perform
work in public rights-of-way and to be qualified in all respects to bid on public
Town Council Page 105 of 125 Meeting Date: Monday, January 6, 2012
streets and public projects of a similar nature. The DEVELOPER agrees to submit
contract documents to the TOWN and participate in a pre-construction meeting with
the TOWN and all Developer contractors.
D. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, the commencement of construction, the
filing of the Final Plat, or the issuance of any building permits, the DEVELOPER
shall present to the TOWN a performance bond(s), payment bond(s) and
maintenance bond(s), meeting the requirements of Chapter 2253 of the Texas
Government Code. Each bond shall individually guarantee and agree to pay an
amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the value of the construction costs
(as determined by the TOWN Engineer) for all public improvements and facilities to
be constructed by or on behalf of the Developer for the Project. Any surety company
through which a bond is written shall be a surety company duly authorized to do
business in the State of Texas, provided that the TOWN, through the Town Attorney,
shall retain the right to reject any surety company as a surety for any work under this
or any other SUBDIVIDER’S AGREEMENT regardless of such Company’s
authorization to do business in Texas. Approvals by the TOWN shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.
1) As an alternative to providing a surety bond for performance and a surety bond for
maintenance as specified hereinabove, Developer may provide financial
assurances for performance and maintenance in the form of a cash deposit, a
certificate of deposit, or irrevocable letter of credit. Provided however, that such
alternative financial assurances shall only be allowed if each meets all
requirements specified in Section 7.2 of the Town of Trophy Club Subdivision
Regulations. All such alternative financial assurances must be on forms approved
by the Town Attorney.
2) As an alternative to the Developer providing a performance bond, payment bond,
and maintenance bond, as specified above, Developer may provide financial
assurances for performance, payment and maintenance from a single general
contractor for the Project, provided that such assurances meet all other
requirements specified hereinabove and the Town is named as a dual obligee on
each such bond. Additionally, such alternative financial assurances shall only be
allowed if each meets all requirements specified in Section 7.2 of the Town of
Trophy Club Subdivision Regulations. All such alternative financial assurances
must be on forms approved by the Town Attorney.
E. The performance bond(s) shall be submitted in statutory form guaranteeing the full
and faithful completion of the facilities and improvements required under this
Agreement for completion of the PROJECT to the TOWN and provide for payment
to the TOWN of such amounts up to the total remaining amounts required for the
completion of the PROJECT if the work is not completed as required hereunder.
Town Council Page 106 of 125 Meeting Date: Monday, January 6, 2012
F. The payment bond(s) shall be submitted in statutory form guaranteeing payment of
all labor and material costs of the Project and shall be furnished solely for the
protection of all claimants supplying labor and material in the performance of the
work provided for under this AGREEMENT. The maintenance bond(s) shall
guarantee the payment of any and all necessary maintenance of the Project for a
period of two (2) years following acceptance of the public improvements and
facilities by the TOWN, in an amount equal to one hundred (100%) percent of the
value of the construction costs of all the public improvements and facilities to be
constructed under this Agreement in respect to the Project.
G. Any guarantee of performance, maintenance, or payment instrument (e.g.,
performance bond, payment bond, maintenance bond, letters of credit, and/or cash
deposit or the like) (individually a “Guarantee” or collectively the “Guarantees”)
submitted by or through the DEVELOPER on a form other than the one which has
been previously approved by the TOWN as "acceptable" shall be submitted to the
Town Attorney at the DEVELOPER'S expense, and construction of the Project shall
not commence until the Town Attorney has approved such Guarantees. Approval by
the TOWN (and the Town Attorney) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
All such Guarantees shall be maintained in full force and effect until such time as the
DEVELOPER has fully complied with the terms and conditions of this
AGREEMENT as agreed to in writing by the TOWN, and failure to keep same in
force and effect shall constitute a breach of this AGREEMENT. Failure to maintain
performance and payment Guarantees meeting the requirements of this
AGREEMENT shall result in a stop work order being issued by the Town.
Additionally, all Guarantees furnished hereunder which expire prior to the
completion of construction or applicable warranty periods shall be renewed in
amounts designated by the TOWN and shall be delivered to the TOWN and
approved by the TOWN on or before the tenth (10th) banking day before the date of
expiration of any then existing Guarantee. If the DEVELOPER fails to deliver any
Guarantee to the TOWN within the time prescribed herein, such failure shall
constitute a breach of this AGREEMENT and shall be a basis for the TOWN to draw
on all or any portion of any existing Guarantee in addition to any or all other
remedies available to the TOWN. The DEVELOPER further agrees to release and
forever hold the TOWN harmless from any losses, damages and/or expenses incurred
by the DEVELOPER for any delays due to the TOWN'S review of any Guarantee
which is in a form other than one which has been previously approved by the
TOWN. The TOWN requires the DEVELOPER to have all Guarantee forms
approved prior to the commencement of work and construction of improvements.
H. It is further agreed and understood by the parties hereto that upon acceptance thereof
by the TOWN of all public improvements and facilities as described in Section II of

2/12 Months (16.66% of Fiscal Year)
REVENUES
Property Taxes – Property taxes are billed and due in October. Most payments are received in December
and January before they become delinquent on February 1st. During the fiscal year, the Denton Central
Appraisal District (DCAD) makes supplemental assessments. Those assessments are billed by Denton
County.
Sales Tax - For the current fiscal year, a change was made in how sales tax revenue will be reported for
monthly financials. Revenue will be shown in the month it was received. Therefore, revenue shown in the
November, 2011 financials reflect collections received in November. In order to comply with the
Government Accounting Standards Board requirement that sales tax be reported for the month it is collected
by the vendor, a journal entry in the financial system will be performed at year-end to “true-up” reporting for
the year.
Franchise Taxes – Franchise fees include payments for electric, gas, telecommunication, and cable
services, as well as, waste collection. Most franchise fees are received quarterly. Atmos Gas, Oncor/TXU,
and Tri-County Electric franchises are paid on an annual basis in early spring. The actual year to date
revenue includes the monthly franchise payments from Allied Waste.
Developer Fees – Developer agreements include charges (fees) to cover the cost of inspection associated
with project infrastructure. Development fees are not anticipated until after the New Year. Development
fees projected for the current fiscal year are anticipated to come from phases 3, 6, and 7 of The Highlands in
addition to phases of Waters Edge at Hogan’s Glen and Canterbury Hills.
MUD Service Contract – The first half of the annual payment was received in December 2011.
EXPENDITURES
Facilities Management - The Town’s annual property insurance premium, which was paid monthly in the
prior fiscal year, was paid for in full under Facilities Management in order to take advantage of an early
payment discount. (This expense represents 55% of the department’s budget)
Parks – Two large areas required new sod which required considerable watering.
Finance – The first installment of audit services and a portion of annual appraisal fees were paid in
November. Additionally, the annual tax administration fee was paid during the month.
