Discussion Item.
1. Receive a presentation and discuss a proposed Private Country Club and Single
Family development, located on the north side of First Street, between Coit Road
and Granite Shoal Drive. (AG/DR)
Alex Glushko, Planning Manager, began by providing an overview of the Private
Country Club and Single Family development. The project will be located on the north
side of First Street, between Coit Road and Granite Shoal Drive. The subject property
is currently zoned Planned Development-90 (PD-90) which allows for minimum lot
sizes of 75 feet in width. The proposed request includes approximately 319 lots, with
22% to be 40-ft.-wide alley -served lots. This is not a lot type that currently exists in
Prosper.
Dudley Raymond, Director of Parks and Recreation, discussed the Private Country
Club and Single Family development. The current Parks Master Plan recognizes a
portion of the subject property, located along the eastern side of Town Lake, as a
public park. The proposed request would result in a private recreational area
associated with the country club, as opposed to a Town park, and a realignment of the
proposed hike and bike trail network in the area.
The applicants, Craig and Adam James of James Land & Development, presented
information on the Private Country Club and Single Family development. Craig James
discussed the proposed development, Lakeside, a Private Social Club focused on
family, fitness, food and entertainment. Adam James provided an overview on
Lakeside, with amenities to include a fitness center, a resort style pool, multiple dining
options and child care. Additionally, the proposed development includes tennis and
basketball courts, golf simulators, and fishing. Club location, concept layout and
potential design elements were discussed.
The Parks and Recreation Board had questions on the uses of Town Lake by the
developer. The hike and bike trail and membership to the club was reviewed. The
Planning and Zoning Commission discussed the proposed 40-ft.-wide lots.
Council Member Ray commented on the allotment of the 40-ft.-wide lot sizes and
voiced disapproval for the rear -entry designed homes. Mr. James discussed current
real estate market conditions and what type of homes are in high demand. Council
Member Hodges had questions on parkland dedication and voiced disapproval for the
40-ft.-wide lots. Mr. James discussed the 40 ft. lot density mix required to support club
membership. Council Member Andres voiced disapproval for the 40 ft. lot size and
discussed protection for the residents if the club should fail for financial reasons.
Mayor Pro-Tem Vogelsang voiced concerns over the 40 ft. lot size and rear -entry

designed homes. Mayor Smith commented positively on the commitment of the
developer to include the club in phase one and commented positively on the builder
group. Deputy Mayor Pro-Tem Dixon discussed the importance of the details in the
development agreement and maintenance of the lake with split ownership. Council
Member Miller noted the importance of the development agreement speaking to the
quality of home being built.
Courtney Finley (via Zoom, no address provided), a Whitley Place resident, discussed
the fence line separating Whitley Place from the proposed development and what trees
in this area would be removed.
Dennis DeMattei (via Zoom, no address provided), a Whitley Place resident, stated
the importance of not alienating the adjacent neighbors who moved to this area for
large lot sizes.
Ken Seguin (via Zoom), Whitley Place HOA President, commented that no formal
presentation from James Land & Development was provided to them. Additionally, he
noted that any proposed development should be comparable with what is existing at
Whitley Place.
Greg Swartz (via Zoom, no address provided), a Whitley Place resident, discussed the
trees and natural beauty of the land and opposed destroying it.
