APPLICANT/OWNER: Municipal Utility District No. 1 100 Municipal Drive Trophy Club, TX 76262 REQUEST: Temporary housing of equipment and personnel is needed while a new Fire Station is built. “Phasing” was considered so that the existing station could be used while the new station was built, but demolishing the old station and building the new station from a vacant lot is more cost effective and provides a faster timeframe to build the new station. Town Council 39 of 80 Meeting Date: March 22, 2010 In order to provide adequate fire and EMS coverage to the Town, the temporary location must be centrally located, providing equal access to all areas of Town. Therefore, locations at or near the existing station were considered and a portion of the parking lot of the Trophy Club Country Club was chosen as the temporary housing site. Fire Chief Danny Thomas has indicated to Town staff that a contract with Trophy Club Country Club will be signed “on the date of the move”. Furthermore, Chief Thomas provided the following information: “A joint agreement (contract) was written between Club Corp of Texas, Trophy Club Country Club and the Municipal Utility District #1 to be signed on the date of the move for duration not to exceed eighteen (18) months. The site location for the temporary apparatus and living quarters will be the far south parking lot, due west of the fixed dumpster facility. This parking area is considered to be overflow for very large events and will not impact the daily operation of the Country Club. Egress from this site will be maintained from the main entrance from a cross feeder drive.” Footprint of the apparatus tent will be 3,850 sq. ft. (55’ x 70’) and a mobile home will provide living quarters of 1,260 sq. ft. (18’ x 70’). Temporary utilities will consist of power for both facilities along with phone service, water and wastewater. The mobile home will be provided by Modular Space of Carrollton, Texas. The mobile home has Town Council 40 of 80 Meeting Date: March 22, 2010 two bedrooms, one bath, a kitchen and a living area. This facility will be set into place, blocked, anchored and skirted. Sanitary sewer will be a fixed holding containment unit. A temporary power pole will be set along with phone service. The Town Engineer has reviewed the information provided by Chief Thomas and has determined that since all facilities will be “temporary” there are no infrastructure comments. Building Permits will be required for the apparatus tent and mobile home. The contractor who installs the apparatus tent will be required to submit engineered stamped plans (by a State of Texas engineer) as part of the building permit process. A building permit cannot be issued without engineered plans. Since 2002 (Ordinance No. 2002-36), it has been unlawful for any person to install, construct, erect, maintain, place or locate any mobile home within the corporate limits of the Town of Trophy Club, except that a mobile home shall be allowed in a designated Mobile Home/Modular Home District. An exception is being requested of the Town Council to allow a mobile home in order to allow the Fire Department personnel to have temporary living quarters while a new station is built. SUMMARY: Chief Thomas requests approval for temporary facilities, consisting of an arch building and a mobile home, to be placed in the far south parking lot of the Trophy Club Country Club to provide temporary housing for Fire Department equipment and personnel while a new Fire Station is built. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Commissioner Ashby made a motion to recommend approval to the Town Council to allow a temporary Arch Building and temporary Mobile Home on the south parking lot of the Trophy Club Country Club while a new Fire Station is built at 295 Trophy Club Drive. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Reed.

Fire Chief Danny Thomas stated that back when this project was started four years ago they contemplated where they were going to build and how they were going to build. He stated they went through several different due diligences as far as getting an offsite, to get the existing station from one site to another while they tore down the old and built the new. They needed to stay centrally located as much as possible. They looked at several different venues and a couple of properties were expensive. The Country Club offered their most south parking lot, which is their overflow for huge events, at no cost. Chief Thomas stated that they did a preliminary layout of what could be put on the site and they have a tent for equipment and a mobile home for temporary living quarters for Fire personnel. They anticipate having this need for 8 to 12 months. Ms. Huggins stated this is a special use – it is not something that would typically be allowed by a business in the Town of Trophy Club. Staff is asking for the Planning & Zoning Commission to recommend approval to the Town Council for this request because it involves public safety. A place is needed for the Fire Station apparatus and personnel to reside while the new station is being built so that EMS and Fire Safety is available to Trophy Club residents. The Country Club site is a central location. It provides good access to either side of Town. Staff recommends approval. Chairman Hill added that an exception is needed in order to allow the personnel to have temporary living quarters in a mobile home since mobile homes are prohibited in the Town. This will be a special use permit for the Municipal Utility District to put a mobile home on the site for a period of about 18 months. Ms. Huggins stated that the timeframe will be while the new station is being built – whatever timeframe that will be – “we don’t believe that will be longer than 18 months”. She stated that mobile homes have been prohibited in all zoning districts except a designated “Mobile Home/Modular Home District” zoning since 2002. Chairman Hill stated that the contractor that will install the tent that will house the fire equipment apparatus will be required to submit engineered stamped plans by a State of Texas engineer during the building permit process. Ms. Huggins confirmed that engineering will be required at the building permit stage. Chief Thomas also stated that the vendor has assured him that this is a process they Town Council 42 of 80 Meeting Date: March 22, 2010 go through quite often as far as doing engineered plans for their tents. This will pretty much be a “garage”. Vice Chairman Stephens stated that the City will be under tremendous liability “if this thing doesn’t stand the wind that is coming. This is Texas and the wind will blow. Will the engineering stamp of approval cover us in case there is wind damage and that thing comes down and you have firemen in that facility?” Chief Thomas stated that the company had facilities up during Hurricane Ike that withstood the storm. “Nature is nature. We’ve seen a 100-year flood in this last couple of years too so it’s hard to say what Mother Nature will do.” Vice Chairman Stephens stated that he doesn’t want to see the City liable. He asked Tom Rutledge if there is recourse if there are firemen injured in some type of weather incident. What kind of liability is the Town under? Vice Chairman Stephens stated that there were all kinds of assurances about the Cowboy facility and yet “some people were very seriously injured in an extreme situation, but Texas has had extreme weather lately.” Tom Rutledge stated that this structure, like any structure whether it is a rigid structure or a temporary structure, would have to be engineered. There are engineering calculations they would have to go through to calculate the wind loads that can withstand those sustained winds in accordance with the Uniform Building Code. There are two things – the structure itself, and how the structure is secured to the ground to make sure it doesn’t blow away, and also to make sure it doesn’t collapse. It is in the documents that are part of the application that they have submitted and that is a requirement to get the building permit. Chief Thomas stated that the whole [tent] structure will be mounted to concrete. It is not going to be a personnel facility. It will be an equipment facility. The only time people will be in that facility is when truck checks are being done or they are coming out of the station on call. Commissioner Forest asked who will own this facility. Chief Thomas stated that it will belong to MUD1. Commissioner Forest asked what will happen with the facility when the Fire Department no longer needs it. Chief Thomas responded that it will go on the market for sale, if marketable. Commissioner Ashby asked about the infrastructure for the tent and trailer – sewer and water. Chief Thomas stated that the sewer will be a holding tank and there will be temporary water and electrical connections. Commissioner Ashby stated that the fire trucks are big and weigh a lot. Chances are the parking lot concrete is only 4 to 5-inches thick. What is the liability for damage? Chief Thomas stated that in the contract with ClubCorp they have agreed to restoration back to the original state. Town Council 43 of 80 Meeting Date: March 22, 2010 Commissioner Davidson asked if the emergency lights on Trophy Club Drive will be moved. Chief Thomas stated that they are not needed. Commissioner Davidson asked if the existing lights work. Chief Thomas stated that they do not, but a new system will be put in with the new station. Commissioner Davidson asked if the mobile home will be in the grass section of the Country Club. Chief Thomas confirmed that it will be in the grass. It will be blocked and skirted. Vice Chairman Stephens asked if modifications for turning radius will be needed to come out of the Country Club parking lot onto Trophy Club Drive. Will a tree need to be removed? Chief Thomas stated that the tree will not need to be removed. He stated that they have played in that parking lot for ladder testing and hose drills and know that they can navigate the parking lot. He stated that they also have talked to Beck Properties and could make an exit to the right [through 300 Trophy Club Drive] if needed. Commissioner Ashby made a motion to recommend approval to the Town Council to allow a temporary Arch Building and temporary Mobile Home on the south parking lot of the Trophy Club Country Club while a new Fire Station is built at 295 Trophy Club Drive. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Reed.
