Glushko: Summarized the request and presented exhibits provided by the applicant. Informed
Commissioners the applicant is currently discussing options to have water provided by Mustang
Special Utility District (SUD) for irrigation.
Jeffrey Dolian (Applicant): Provided information on current location of Town water service and
Mustang SUD water service. Informed Commissioners they are working with Mustang SUP to
provide water for irrigation, but in the event such service is not available, alternative drought -
tolerant planting would be provided in accordance with the Town's approved plant list and
established with temporary irrigation service. Indicated permanent irrigation is preferred.
Confirmed the precast concrete screening walls with stone columns are eight feet (8') in height
and located internal to the site, around the perimeter of the equipment. Stated the barbless fence
would be located on the perimeter of the property, with the exception of the west side, along FM
1385. Informed Commission Brazos Electric will be the sole user of the communication tower.
Cotten: Requested additional information regarding the plan for the barbless fence at the time
when a residential subdivision is developed adjacent to the facility. Inquired if Brazos Electric
would agree to connect to Town water service once available.
Alzner: Requested the alternate landscape plan in the event that permanent irrigation cannot be
provided. Inquired if the applicant would consider installation of a ten -foot (10') screening wall.
Chairman Alzner opened the Public Hearing.
Chris Blair (Prosper Resident): Inquired if Brazos Electric would be the sole user of the
communication tower. Requested the Commission consider requiring 100% masonry screening
walls in place of the precast concrete.
Blair Woodall (Adjacent Property Owner): Expressed concern on the impact the appearance of
the transmission facility would have on surrounding properties designated as low density
residential and requested additional information on the alignment of the transmission lines to and
from the facility.

properties, and the uncertainty of permanent irrigation. Commissioner Cotten suggested the item
be tabled until the following items could be addressed by the applicant:
