Re: Tree Mitigation Ordinance Appeal
Park Board Meeting, Monday, October 20, 2014
SUBJECT:
Discuss and provide a recommendation to Town Council concerning an appeal to the Tree
Mitigation Ordinance as it relates to the Trophy Club Commons development located at 925
Trophy Club Drive.
HISTORY:
A zoning change from “CR” – Commercial Recreation to “CG” – Commercial General was
approved by Town Council on September 22, 2008. The Final Plat and Site Plan for Phase I and II
were approved by Town Council on January 17, 2011.
The developer came before the Park Board on September 15, 2014 and received feedback
including a reduced fee for years the owner of the property has been in Trophy Club and other
credits to be determined by Town Council as necessary. The developer and Town Staff have
since met and agreed upon another proposal to account for the deficit of the current tree
mitigation for the property.
EXPLANATION:
The applicant removed 892 caliper inches of protected trees from the site and has proposed to
plant a total of 475 caliper inches throughout the entire site – Phases 1 and 2. This would leave
a remaining deficit of 417 caliper inches (which is then multiplied by 1.5) to be mitigated. With
the density planned for this site, the applicant does not have enough room to plant all of the
caliper inches required by mitigation. Therefore the applicant is seeking an appeal to the Tree
Mitigation Ordinance to allow a reduced planting schedule. The fee for tree mitigation is
$150.00 per caliper inch for protected trees.
The developer is proposing to let the Town use a portion of their property for use as parkland
or practice fields as needed determined by Town Staff. The developer has indicated that they
will install a decorative metal fence around the border of the property to help define and
enhance the area to be used by the Town. In addition the developer is looking at options for
taking the remaining trees that are planned to be planted on the site and working with Town
Staff to plant them off-site in the Town.
Parks and Recreation Board 5 of 16 Monday, October 20, 2014
Staff recommends approval of the proposed mitigation plan to allow the developer to dedicate
their property for the use by the Town of Trophy Club as well as provide the remaining funds
for the planned tree plantings to be provided to the Town in the Tree Fund to provide tree
planting throughout the town.

Re:
Park Board Meeting, Monday, October 20, 2014
Agenda Item:
Discuss and provide direction concerning the creation and implementation of a community garden to be
located within Harmony Park.
Explanation:
Staff, working with several volunteers has agreed to assist with the needed site preparation to
use a small corner of Harmony Park for a community garden. The designated corner currently
has no active use and contains mostly weeds and other types of debris. Given the variety of
objectives and parties interested in this project staff felt it would be appropriate that the Board
hear discussion on the project from the involved parties and provide direction on the entire
process as it moves forward.
