This workshop was designed to receive input on the proposed
Master Plan from developers and major land owners in Trophy
Club. The Council decided this meeting would not be an open
forum but by invitation only. Mayor Carter introduced the
following developers and landowners.
MZ. Ed Snider of Independent American had the following
gemments:
1. Independent American requested that the plan presented not
be approved. They would like to see some compromises that
would come closer to the density of the Gibraltar plan.
2. Move the "loop" road further to the north to connect with
the circular road at two points as indicated on the map
provided by J. J. & Roy.
3. Remove the "4th nine" of the golf course and show the area
as residential.
4. They requested placing the "special residential" areas
back in M.U.D. #1 on the Master Plan, not specifically
with respect to the Master Plan but they would also like
to see zoning ordinances that would allow construction in
the future such as Village West, Fairway Vi1lage, 20-In-
Trophy,the Summit and commercial property.
5. Independent American requested present use designation on
the plan to list the Sales and Development Offices as
existing commercial uses instead of school and
governmental.
Mr. Kirk B���i����i��h���� of GibraltarSayji�2g�� AgAggiati��12 had
the fg��i?2� p2mnents:
1. Mr. Breitenwisoher stated that Gibraltar was very
concerned with the Town showing the property at the
entrance as open space or park land. Gibraltar feels the
highest and best use would be commercial. They also feel
the five acre tract they own adjacent to Hwy. 114 should
also be commercial.
Mr. Bill Nelson of B.L. Nelse---n 8 Associated. Inc. had the
followil]g gQfflLfl@nts:
1. Mr. WeIscm stated that approximately 14 months ago he
submitted a plan to the P & Z on a 6.9892 acre tract for
approval. The land is located on Trophy Club Drive and Indian
Creek Drive. The plat was for 36 zero lot line homes. The
Special Residential Ordinance allowing this type of
construction was turned down. Mr. Nelson requested this plat
be approved as submitted early last year.

client would like to maintain that zoning.
3. Tracts 10, 2 and 4 are located in the far southeast corner

Council Member Vance stated that he, Mr. Sheller and Mr.

concerning the park grant. Mr. Boszak stated that he was
concerned because he has had numerous phone calls from
various people who have varying interpretations concerning
the grant~
Mr. Boszak pointed out several items to Council Member Vance
and Mr. Sheller concerning the grant:
1. Hee did not specify any specific dates that the Town has to
work against. They are concerned with action and if they
do not see positive action~ then that is when the grant
will be taken away from the Town.
2. Three years from the date of the grant the park should be
completed.
3. Mr. Boszak stated that other Towns have changed the
location of their park after they received the grant~
If a Town chooses to do this it has to start all over with
its submittal. It also has to score as high as it did with
the first submittal~
Council Member Vance stated that he would like to look at the
evaluation criteria to see the Towns score. Mr. Boszak stated
that he would have to come down to Austin to review the
material.
Council Member Vance stated that the committee will continue
to secure information concerning the park. He talked with Mr.
Snider of Independent American to make sure they would attend
the Council Meetings and possibly some agreement could be
reached.
The Council set the next meeting date for Monday, January 26,
1987.
