Councilman Glaspell seconded; motion carried unanimously.
Chairman Hamper informed those in attendance that this was
the second of a three phase plan to revamp the comprehensive
zoning ordinance to bring it up to date and into compliance
with the land use plan adopted several months ago.
Page 3, Public Hearing, 02/16/93
The rezoning will consolidate the 27 districts, or zones,
into 18 by combining districts with similar regulations and
characteristics. This rezoning procedure started with
revisiting the Comprehensive Plan, then the rezoning of the
unplatted land, then the platted land, and will finally end
by reformatting the zoning ordinance. The overall objective
is to make Trophy Club a quality community in which to live
by improving property values.
Town Planner, Dan Boutwell, explained that of the 27
districts, 23 were residential. He also stated that before
the Town was incorporated, the deed restrictions were the
only regulations in place. Now the Town has the Subdivision
Regulations and the Zoning Ordinance.
Councilman Engelbeck reminded those in attendance that the
basic goals and objectives established in the zoning efforts
were the direct results of a community survey taken about
eight or nine months ago. The majority of the Community
wanted to "tighten up" or "up -grade" the Town's image.
At this point in the Public Hearing, Mayor Carter called for
citizens to address the Commission and the Council.
Several residents and guests addressed the Council. Their
names and addresses are as follows:
Mr. Larry Ashley
213 Oakmont Drive
Mrs. Louise Carter
2 Round Rock
Mr. Ed Tweedie
220 Oakmont Drive
Mr. Craig Martin
545 Indian Creek
Mr. Larry Hutto
11 Edgemere Drive
Mr. & Mrs. Lester Disney
18 Monterey Drive
Mr. Rick Watkins
26 Salida Drive
Mr. Fred Balda
Hillwood Dev.
Ms. Debbie Francis
4 Greenhill Trail
The two major concerns of the residents who addressed the
council were: (1) that the zoning changes upgrade, rather
than size down the lot sizes; and (2) they were not in favor
of placing a day care center in their neighborhood due to
anticipated traffic problems and lowered property value on
their homes.
Page 4, Public Hearing, 02/16/93
The major concern of the realtors and potential developers
present was that they be allowed to build the type of home
they considered most salable in the R-8 districts. Mr. Fred
Baida proposed compromises to the main areas of disagreement.
The three main points of difference were:
Proposed minimum house size.
3. On one and one-half and two story residences, the first
floor minimum.
3. Front yard set back for front entry garages.
Mr. Balda requested that the Commission consider some of
Hillwood's proposals as a compromise.
TOWN COUNCIL TO CONSIDER ADJOURNING THE PUBLIC HEARING WITH
THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND/OR CONTINUING THE
PUBLIC HEARING TO A DATE CERTAIN.
At this time in the meeting, which was approximately 8:43
p.m., Chairman Hamper suggested that a motion be made to
continue the hearing to a date certain on a portion of the
sections listed in the public notice.
