Re: Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting – April 18, 2017
Agenda Item:
Consider and act upon a request for a Variance to the Subdivision Ordinance regarding
thoroughfare screening, for Star Trail, located on the southwest corner of Prosper Trail and
Stargazer Way. (V17-0003).
Description of Agenda Item:
The applicant is seeking a variance regarding the Subdivision Ordinance requirements for
Thoroughfare Screening. A letter from the applicant detailing the basis for the request is
attached for reference. In 2011, the Thoroughfare Screening section of the Subdivision
Ordinance was amended in order to provide thoroughfare screening adjacent to all single family
attached and detached residential developments siding and backing to rights-of-way of 60 feet
or greater. Thoroughfare Screening is required to consist of ornamental metal fencing with
masonry columns, meandering sidewalks, berming, and landscaping, within a minimum 25-foot
landscape buffer/common area to be owned and maintained by a Homeowner’s Association
(HOA). The minimum 25-foot landscape buffer is required to be exclusive of all required streets
and right-turn rights-of-way, drainage easements, and utility easements, unless otherwise
approved by the Town Council.
The applicant is requesting a variance to allow for a 10-foot electric utility easement to encroach
the required 25-foot landscape buffer. All required landscaping will be provided in accordance
with Town standard; however, the small trees and portions of the sidewalk will be located within
the 10-foot electric utility easement, which is permitted by the easement holder. Details of the
location, extent, and the profile of the landscape buffer are depicted on the attached exhibit and
described in the request letter.
Attached Documents:
1. Location Map
2. Exhibit
3. Request Letter
Town Staff Recommendation:
Town staff recommends the Planning & Zoning Commission approve the request for a Variance
to the Subdivision Ordinance regarding thoroughfare screening, for Star Trail, located on the
southwest corner of Prosper Trail and Stargazer Way.

The purpose of the proposed PD amendment is to modify the architectural requirements for the
Star Trail subdivision, specifically regarding roof pitch, garage, and fence requirements.
For reference, Star Trail currently includes four lot types, as follows:
• Type A Lot: Minimum 6,875 square feet
• Type B Lot: Minimum 8,125 square feet
• Type C Lot: Minimum 10,260 square feet
• Type D Lot: Minimum 11, 610 square feet
The proposed redlined standards are attached for reference. The general requested
modifications are outlined in the following table:
Regarding Current PD Standards Proposed PD Standards
Setbacks
“Minimum 15 feet”
For Type A lots
For consistency with the wording for the other
lot types in the rest of the PD:
“Minimum 15 feet for the side adjoining a street”
Roof Pitch
No standard for Type A & B lots
– defaults to Town standards: -
Min. 65% of roof at 8:12 pitch,
and min. 75% of roof at 3:12
pitch for clay, cement, slate or
metal roofs
For Type C & D lots: Min. 10:12
roof pitch
Minimum main roof pitch of 8:12 for
composition and slate roofs
Minimum 3:12 roof pitch for clay tile or
cement/concrete tile roofs
Gutters required
Garages
Requires three of the following
four elements:
1) Single garage doors
2) Cedar clad garage doors
3) Cedar trim garage doors
4) Carriage style garage doors
with ornamental hardware
Prohibits traditional steel garage doors and
requires material giving the appearance of a
real wood (see attached examples of proposed
doors)
Permits single or double doors.
Requires two of the following elements:
1) For single doors, must be separated by a
masonry column.
2) Garage doors may be “carriage style door”
designs giving the appearance of a classic
swing-open design with the flexibility of an
overhead door operation.
3) Doors may incorporate decorative hardware.
4) Doors may incorporate windows.

Fencing
Lots backing or siding open
space or park shall have
minimum 4’ decorative metal
fencing
Corner lots adjacent to a street
require 18” masonry columns at
21 feet on center
Other fencing shall be cedar
Lots backing or siding land designated by plat
as public park or public hike and bike trail shall
have minimum 4’ decorative metal fencing.
Other fencing shall be masonry, decorative
metal, or cedar. Masonry fencing shall only be
permitted adjacent to HOA lots
Side yard fencing for corner lots adjacent to a
street shall be either decorative metal or cedar
board-on-board with masonry columns 21’ OC
Staff’s responses to the proposed amendments are as follows:
1. Roofs – The PD currently requires 10:12 minimum roof pitches for Type C and D lots only, while
Type A and B lots default back to the Town’s standard 8:12 minimum standard. The applicant is
proposing to allow for a minimum 8:12 roof pitch, as well as to allow for 3:12 minimum roof
pitches for clay tile roof, for all lot types. The proposed standards are consistent with the updated
residential design standards that were adopted by the Town in 2015, and will allow the builders
greater flexibility with regard to architectural design and style of the homes.
2. Garages – The PD currently requires three of four criteria are met, which result in primarily single
cedar clad garages. The applicant has expressed concern with the current options and is
proposing to revise the standards to prohibit the use of standard metal doors, to require doors to
look like wood, and to revise the optional criteria. The proposed options would allow for a
diversity of garage types and designs that will continue to result in the appearance of wooden
doors.
3. Fencing – The PD currently requires any fencing on a lot siding or backing to a HOA lot to be
constructed of wrought iron. Because the developer has voluntarily provided an oversized
parkway (area between the private lot and travel lanes) on several roadways, many private
narrow HOA common area lots have resulted, which side or back to single family lots and require
open fencing. Without the voluntary parkway and resulting common area adjacent to the
residential lots, wood, masonry, or wrought iron fencing would be permitted. The applicant is
proposing to only require wrought iron for areas adjacent to public areas (parks and hike and bike
trails), and is requiring the other fencing to be either masonry, wrought iron, or cedar.
Staff believes the nature of this request is reasonable, that the proposed development
standards are in keeping with the Town’s minimum requirements, and recommends approval of
the amendment as submitted.
Future Land Use Plan – The Future Land Use Plan recommends Low Density Residential,
Medium Density Residential, Retail & Neighborhood Services, and Tollway District for the
property; the proposed amendment conforms to the Future Land Use Plan.
Thoroughfare Plan – The property has direct access to existing Prosper Trail, an ultimate four-
lane divided thoroughfare, Legacy Drive, an ultimate six-lane divided thoroughfare, First Street,
ultimate four-lane divided thoroughfare, and Dallas Parkway, a major thoroughfare. The zoning
exhibit complies with the Thoroughfare Plan.
Page 4 of 4
Water and Sanitary Sewer Services – Water and sanitary sewer services have been extended
to the property.
Access – The property currently has access from Prosper Trail and Dallas Parkway. Adequate
access is provided to the property.
Schools – This property is served by the Prosper Independent School District. A school site has
tentatively been identified on the subject property.
Parks – Town park land has been identified on the subject property.
Environmental Considerations – Floodplain currently exists on this site.
Legal Obligations and Review:
Notification was provided to neighboring property owners, as required by state law. Town staff

EXHIBIT “C”
Development Standards for StarTrail, Town of Prosper, Texas
Conformance with the Town’s Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance: Except as
otherwise set forth in these Development Standards, the regulations of the Town’s Zoning
Ordinance (as it currently exists or may be amended) and Subdivision Ordinance (as it
currently exists or may be amended) shall apply.
I. Amenity Program
A. General. As a master planned community, Star Trail will have a programmed and
qualitatively controlled system of amenities throughout. These amenities combine to
create an overall sense of place that would be difficult to achieve when considered as
independent elements within smaller developments. The community amenities that
are addressed within these Development Standards are:
• Primary Community Entries
• Secondary Community Entries
• Neighborhood Entries
• Thoroughfare Landscape Buffers
• Community Amenity Center
• Floodplain / Greenway Parks
• Neighborhood Parks
• Pocket Parks
• Hike and Bike Trails
B. Primary Community Entries
1. Major points of entry into StarTrail (including at least one entry along Prosper Trail,
one along Legacy Drive and one off the DNT service road) will be defined with a
combination of monument signage, landscape and lighting to create a sense of
arrival commensurate in scale and character with a 800+ acre master planned
community (see representative examples below). These entries will include:
Community name / logo incorporated into monument signage element, to be
constructed of masonry or similar material;
Enhanced landscape, including seasonal color, shrubs, groundcover,
perennials and unique combinations of both canopy and ornamental trees;
Enhanced lighting on the monument / signage and the unique aspects of the
landscape;
Water will be considered as an accent feature if land and topography permit,
and if compatible with the overall physical design theme for the community.
2. Primary entries will be developed to incorporate both sides of the entry roadway
when both are contained within Star Trail, and will also include enhancements to
the median in the immediate area (where / if applicable). Landscape easements
will be provided to ensure adequate space to provide for visibility triangle(s) and
adequate development of entry design.
C. Secondary Entries
1. Secondary Community Entries will be similar to primary community entries in
their use of compatible building and landscape materials, but will be smaller in
scale and land area. They will occur at the outside edges of Star Trail, at the
entries for either arterials or collectors into the community. It is anticipated that a
minimum of three secondary entries will be provided for the community, primarily
along Legacy Drive (see representative examples below). Secondary community
entries will include the following elements, scaled slightly smaller than the primary
entries:
• Community name / logo incorporated into monument signage element, to be
constructed of masonry or similar material;
• Enhanced landscape, including seasonal color, shrubs, groundcover,
perennials and unique combinations of both canopy and ornamental trees;
• Enhanced lighting on the monument / signage and the unique aspects of the
landscape;
• Center median to allow for more landscape density and also provide alternative
location for neighborhood identification and way-finding graphics;
• Landscape easements where required to accommodate enhanced landscape
and monument construction.
2. Neighborhood Village Entries. Internal to Star Trail and along both arterials and
collectors, points of intersection will be enhanced to denote entries into individual
‘villages’ or neighborhoods. These entries will resemble primary and secondary
entries in their use of materials and landscape, but will also incorporate village or
neighborhood names and will contribute to a unique, community-wide system of
visual “way finding.”
D. Thoroughfare Landscape Buffers (Arterial and Collector Roads) Thoroughfares
will provide a continuity of design from primary and secondary points of community
entry throughout the entirety of Star Trail. These thoroughfares and the adjacent
landscape buffers will be designed and constructed to meet the standards outlined in
the Town of Prosper Subdivision Ordinance.
E. Community Amenity Program
1. Villages of StarTrail Community Centers
A minimum of one Community Amenity Center shall be developed within the
Villages of Star Trail, on the property east of Legacy Drive, providing a range of
more active, family oriented activities in a ‘resort’ style environment (see
representative examples below). This facility will be private, designated for the
use of property owners and their guests. Maintenance of the Center will be
provided by a Homeowner’s Association (HOA). This facility will be centrally
located along the main neighborhood road with linkage to the community’s trail
system. This primary Community Amenity Center will be completed along with the
initial phase of residential development east of Legacy Drive and provide the
“centerpiece” recreational amenity for the entire community.
One additional Neighborhood Amenity Center will be constructed when the villages
west of Legacy Drive are developed.
The intended Community Amenity Program shall include elements from the
following list:
• Active adult and children’s pools;
• Paved and turf chaise areas;
• Community building, with interior and exterior spaces programmed for
resident and HOA uses, including possible inclusion of a kitchen, community
room, meeting room(s), fitness room, and storage area(s);
• Restrooms (in the community building and possibly additionally at the pool
area(s);
• Covered picnic pavilion with grilling equipment;

All of these corridors shall be interconnected with a series of paths and trails, with
an overall hike / bike trail system throughout. Following are the key components
of this system of open space through the community:
Master hike / bike trail – minimum 8’ in width – concrete or other material
approved by the Town – linking all neighborhoods, schools and amenities;
Secondary paths and trails – minimum 6’ in width – concrete or ‘soft’ surface
(decomposed granite, crushed fines) is permitted for HOA maintained trails–
providing secondary linkages and ‘spur’ connections to the hike / bike trail
system;

Letter of Intent - Villages of StarTrail, PD 66 Proposed Amendments
Type A, B, C and D Corner Lot Sideyard Setback revision was to specify the 15’ sideyard setback only
applies to the side yard adjacent to the street. Done for clarification purposes only.
Type A, B, C and D Roofing requirements revises PD 66 restrictions to reflect a consistency with the Town
of Prosper requirements. Subsequent to the filing and approval of the PD, StarTrail executed contracts
with homebuilders enjoying success with architectural designs featuring both clay and cement/concrete
tile roofs. This style roof requires a lower 3:12 pitch, consistent with Town guidelines.
In addition, Town guidelines require the main roof pitch of any residential structure have a minimum slope
of 8:12. We request a revision to make our current 10:12 restriction consistent with Prosper’s guidelines.
Type A, B, C and D Garage doors revises PD 66 restrictions to allow for future architectural designs that
may/may not include cedar only. In view of the fact that the development will take 10 years to complete,
our builder group has requested we not limit them from introducing any new designs/new
materials/upgrade options that might be introduced over the course of the development.
The proposed 2nd revision language for Garage doors is attached in a separate document.
The option of a cedar trim door was eliminated since there have been some fairly significant warranty
issues with warping as the doors age.
Type A, B, C and D Fencing requirements revises PD 66 restrictions to mandate open, wrought iron fencing
on all residential lots backing or siding to public areas only. The restriction will no longer apply to HOA-
owned Open Space areas.
Allowable fencing materials on lots adjacent to or abutting HOA-owned common areas were revised to
include masonry vs. only decorative metal or wood.
Corner lot sideyard fencing adjacent the street previously required 18” masonry columns at 21 feet OC.
We are still in discussions on the detailed design of these interior homeowner fencing columns and
request we say “masonry columns, per developer guidelines, placed at 21 feet OC.”
