Staff described the package as three related steps: (1) providing municipal services to an ETJ (extraterritorial jurisdiction) parcel that the developer intends to annex; (2) acknowledging a petition for voluntary annexation of roughly 3.182 acres currently in the town's ETJ; and (3) rezoning two parcels and amending PD-27 so the area functions as a unified residential project. The project area includes a former gas-well site and several parcels currently in different ownership.
Town staff said the development agreement—drafted by the town attorney—outlines mutual obligations: the town will provide police, fire, solid-waste and infrastructure oversight; the developer will perform off-site improvements and demo an existing home on the annexation parcel. Planning & Zoning review, preliminary and final plat approval, and PD-27 amendment hearings will follow in subsequent meetings; staff recommended approval of the development agreement as a first step.
Developer Greg Fox (a Trophy Club resident) and consultant Kurt DeBose spoke in support and described plans to build homes consistent with local character. Council approved the development-agreement authorization for the town manager to execute on the town's behalf; the motion passed by voice vote.
Staff noted future coordination will be required with the local Municipal Utility District (MUD) to adjust boundaries and services. The council and staff emphasized that the agreement initiates a multi-step land-use and permitting sequence; subsequent zoning, platting and infrastructure approvals will follow the normal review process.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Town Council Meeting July 28, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The council approved a development agreement with Foxwood LLC initiating a multi-step process for a roughly 14.8-acre residential subdivision (Milson's Point), including voluntary annexation of an ETJ parcel, rezoning into PD-27 and coordination with the local MUD.","taxTitle","Trophy Club, Denton County, Texas","taxId",69462,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6151639,"Council approves Hutchins Barbecue expansion, allows off-site parking agreement with hotel",474,2302000,2776000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5501735-38b041a0a4872119e4e5f3852b81694f&start=2302&end=2776","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5501735-38b041a0a4872119e4e5f3852b81694f/thumbnail_2302000.jpg","/articles/6151639/Trophy-Club/Denton-County/Texas/Council-approves-Hutchins-Barbecue-expansion-allows-off-site-parking-agreement-with-hotel","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6151639-092a67476976dd1b5e3f5050e1c35c83/orig.mp4?Expires=1771079474&Signature=eqedFVvdo7UmNs9Sth86UzvXsyYXd2tdeSHzSgUaxVxpinL5kguO8JXmM9ZBSpX~gnAstR-lKah5oz6O11X2ELlhXqW2lV-eV~wKdbtSXV38WPD0LscUtct1ftIAqqsxm-Veuiy0wSohEiLl6Pn5Zlrk4KREo4adUNF0hOPnpGrIa6D5GlWSznSYW24Omz3Z8r8CmVtxYXDxbmzAvIxTFUgsMfRoBJT1bBeGXsLf8H~-GHDr6yYG5NUZx-d3tybY1dOqKWGg0AGv0-R5GuSZVu--B80hSjy-vUEDaK0~RpNJKVyeImxPES4aB1MXMSDv~25qApO7U4ELwm3XJA167g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town Council July 28 approved an amendment to Planned Development District (PD) 25 to permit a dining-room expansion and to allow off-site parking for Hutchins Barbecue at 3000 State Highway 114.
Community Development staff described the amendment as a request to enclose about 900 square feet of the restaurant's exterior patio, replace an existing wood fence with 12-foot split-face concrete masonry unit (CMU) wall and install a standing-seam metal roof over the new dining area. The site has limited on-site parking; Hutchins previously negotiated a shared-parking agreement with the adjacent Holiday Inn to use 12 spaces for a 24- to 30-month term.
Town staff noted an ordinance drafting detail on page 4 that listed eight parking spaces; the council approved an in-line amendment to change the reference to 12 parking spaces to match the shared-parking agreement. Planning & Zoning Commissioner Biggs reported P&Z had discussed pedestrian crossings, lighting and traffic near the hotel crosswalk but recommended approval; the P&Z vote was unanimous with five of six members present. Developer Wes Hutchins spoke in support and said the change will help accommodate increased business.
Council Member Dennis moved to approve the PD amendment as amended (changing the parking requirement to 12), the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote. The ordinance was reviewed by the town attorney for form and legality, and staff said notice requirements for the hearing were satisfied.
Council members said crosswalks, lighting and future parking for the two-acre site near the restaurant may be addressed with future development actions but should not be required as part of this PD amendment. The amendment allows Hutchins to enclose the patio and rely on the off-site shared-parking arrangement to meet current parking requirements.","The council approved an amendment to Planned Development District 25 for Hutchins Barbecue to enclose an existing exterior patio and allow off-site parking via a shared-parking agreement with a nearby hotel; council amended required off-site parking from eight to 12 spaces before passage.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6151644,"Trophy Club approves hotel tourism incentive program to boost overnight stays",849,3813000,4662000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5501735-38b041a0a4872119e4e5f3852b81694f&start=3813&end=4662","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5501735-38b041a0a4872119e4e5f3852b81694f/thumbnail_3813000.jpg","/articles/6151644/Trophy-Club/Denton-County/Texas/Trophy-Club-approves-hotel-tourism-incentive-program-to-boost-overnight-stays","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6151644-a49517db79067a2c9ed618517a6408ec/orig.mp4?Expires=1771079474&Signature=LnSEwiq6L9mSEzU3AnqmGtgsb8~7VOe1FyXBW2ru984Ke~tCGpqITAkpjCund3i8RKBQg-CPPuxHAXEbOzDF7cO7F2oO7ZiqtjxuVn-VqRj7zNa3Rc1T2ZQ4U13i87SNb0ce5~MvTd0LtwosbkWQwGi0c-Ii0vE6eYPxsEM4DDqWN0-p~Vt6PtXf4S-TmESwSMFqllhbWvcnndsAKdF-8qPamm9-JnToZUi9wR8-gXepr8vZB~uHcl5YQ2WzIAtjJ09LPc8~ZSHSwO9kl16N60idTMZAnjq~yRzUakWKL556-ONC-ljRjZFwf1Cg8XfjeUOr8xoadZCUvfnI--OqVA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Trophy Club approved a Tourism Incentive Program (TIP) July 28 to encourage overnight stays and support hotel-based tourism. The program will be funded from hotel-occupancy-tax (HOT) revenues and managed by the town's communications and tourism staff.
Under the program, eligible hotels may receive up to $20,000 per year in group-room rebates and marketing incentives and up to $5,000 per year in reimbursement for directional wayfinding signage (reimbursed at 75 percent), for a total potential allocation of $25,000 per hotel annually. Hotels must be current on local taxes to participate and must submit reimbursement requests with supporting documentation. The town manager retains final authority on approvals and disputes.
Town staff said the program aligns with Texas Tax Code §351 (statutory limitations on HOT spending) and that a $100,000 annual allocation from HOT revenues was proposed in next year's budget to seed the program. Staff will hold an annual executive tourism meeting with hotel partners and will administer reimbursements through the finance department.
Council members discussed how the program might drive business for local restaurants and other businesses. Some council members expressed support for signage; others suggested prioritizing dining-card incentives to encourage visitors to eat locally. Raj Shudasama, representing the Aloft and Hampton properties in Trophy Club, told the council that comparable programs in other cities have been useful to generate heads and beds and community spending.
After discussion the council voted to approve the TIP. One council member voted in opposition. Staff will finalize policy language and forms and notify eligible hotels when the new fiscal year begins.","The council approved a Tourism Incentive Program (TIP) to reimburse hotels for group room nights, marketing and wayfinding signage using hotel-occupancy-tax revenue; the program sets annual caps and requires hotels to be current on local tax obligations.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6151648,"Trophy Club approves CCPD budget; police to add drone capability and fund staffing",587,2804000,3391000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5501735-38b041a0a4872119e4e5f3852b81694f&start=2804&end=3391","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5501735-38b041a0a4872119e4e5f3852b81694f/thumbnail_2804000.jpg","/articles/6151648/Trophy-Club/Denton-County/Texas/Trophy-Club-approves-CCPD-budget-police-to-add-drone-capability-and-fund-staffing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6151648-2eca88a43da3db8475e7fa6092583476/orig.mp4?Expires=1771079474&Signature=aToXWATlfl2PjBs~yXmi1eNdhrr9~h8mVXgVv-fyf5G9wbxu6et05V3sBsVu18mgSN13T3iB-OdPA3qswIIV~bBGgKre2Ad3F8ydpdQlBfPbCpwmepDZtXUN94HPTf6ld-Z21hemEqExIwGsp7VI-KQ7RtgZ1ddXfIYFPM96-D9sfp4z95FyDWjTeP4RAqUgc1w6Rv6LyVCb4Ju4zlFwsiRQGkxuExzVDI~DhjI~wkZqfIwadizxczSmhEZKRR-ADbasPSPbrmGe7undligI4RR6xzvCgHWRlGrzVbTDG4y8V0vE529rfE95TFlVO7HqbP7-9Nn4brO58iJjGcpbtw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Trophy Club Town Council approved the Fiscal Year 2025–26 Crime Control and Prevention District (CCPD) budget July 28, a plan that includes funds for drone technology, weapons enhancements and staffing support.
Police Chief Daniels and the CCPD board presented the budget and explained that the CCPD receives one-quarter of the town's two-cent hotel and sales tax allocation to support safety and prevention programs. The board recommended using a portion of the CCPD fund balance to keep reserves at a lower target and to help sustain staffing levels, including funding a cadet to enter the police academy and offset training and recruitment delays.
The budget includes funding to purchase a drone with day/night capability, thermal imaging, a spotlight, and an expected flight endurance of roughly 45–50 minutes, the chief said. The department will require FAA certification for officers who will operate the drones; the town will run an FAA-compliant program and require periodic recertification. Chief Daniels said the town is developing a written use policy modeled on peer agencies; drone deployments will require supervisor approval, video will be recorded to local media storage, and footage not used as evidence will be deleted. If drone footage becomes evidence it will be handled like other police video.
Council members asked how the drone would be used and raised privacy concerns. The police emphasized that the primary uses are search-and-rescue and incident response rather than routine surveillance, and that Texas law generally requires a warrant to use aerial surveillance of private property. Council members also asked whether the unit is U.S.-made; the chief confirmed that the selected model and software support are U.S.-based. The CCPD board recommended the budget after two budget workshops and two budget meetings.
Council members voted to approve the CCPD budget; the motion passed. The CCPD board members who attended included Mark Ratels, Chris Halsey and Royce Laver. The police noted ongoing programs funded by CCPD money such as school resource officer support, identity-theft training, home-security inspections, volunteer citizen patrol and National Night Out events.
Officials said the drone program will include a written policy, FAA licensing for operators, supervisor approval for missions and an audit trail for recorded media.
The budget vote authorizes spending in the next fiscal year and directs staff to implement training and policy development ahead of equipment deployment.","The town approved the Crime Control and Prevention District budget for FY 2025–26, which funds new drone equipment with FAA-certified operators, weapon red-dot sights for officers, and measures aimed at reducing the CCPD fund balance while supporting staffing.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6151653,"Trophy Club council adopts resolution of no confidence in council member Stacy Bauer amid criminal case",1474,4687000,6161000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5501735-38b041a0a4872119e4e5f3852b81694f&start=4687&end=6161","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5501735-38b041a0a4872119e4e5f3852b81694f/thumbnail_4687000.jpg","/articles/6151653/Trophy-Club/Denton-County/Texas/Trophy-Club-council-adopts-resolution-of-no-confidence-in-council-member-Stacy-Bauer-amid-criminal-case","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6151653-3a6c2bafeeed69329d162c00b633c085/orig.mp4?Expires=1771079474&Signature=FgL~TJ4rSGcSPpQhMke9~Elgl6z7dzz9WQrifL-tm90MfTa1KzBZVv-ALEWVA6DwkneDCSap4N04TQtsahcyEj0Cd~LCHmfTEzTRCWQfAGOx~fPeRePZP1uDw-~tl3aCp96uvHoZ9K676IM0B5RXQyDwEJ4GgpUtCOaH0TUr~M7iQyOT-NaTcpwIhdHXqkESgaJBe0-slpyeWLRbQAchoBEMh5CXkBVv3do0lZTlv593jOaPeswtT3C8hMl43r7UoXMjYqxl2oeLcF60wn1m0g6wCPWMB5Jx9aKyMR4t~slRjW9jBnVDrm8Rsyt23QzoJT7xuEGJx-fRwzRE~yyIrg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Trophy Club Town Council voted July 28 to adopt a resolution expressing no confidence in Council Member Stacy Bauer as the town continues to contend with public concern and a pending criminal matter. The action does not remove Bauer from office but signals the council’s collective judgment about her ability to serve while the legal process continues.
Council members opened the discussion after the mayor read a July 1 letter from Mayor Janette Tiffany and Mayor Pro Tem Rylan Roe urging Bauer to consider resignation in light of the indictment in State of Texas v. Stacy Renee Bauer, case number 525-1815-158 in the 150th Judicial District Court. The letter said the charges had become a distraction to town business and raised questions about public confidence in the council.
Public commenters provided competing views. Several residents urged removal or resignation, citing accountability and court filings; others asked the council to wait for due process. Jennifer Olsen and Savannah Harris among others told the council they believed Bauer’s continued service damaged public trust and called for resignation. Chuck Kelly and other speakers urged calm and focus on facts.
Council discussion centered on the town’s obligations and the legal status of deferred-adjudication pleas. Council Member Dennis asked the town attorney whether a deferred adjudication plea would count as a felony conviction under the town charter (charter section 3.04); the attorney replied that deferred adjudication does not automatically equate to a conviction and that whether disqualification occurs depends on court action and the precise terms accepted by the judge. Members debated timing and the council’s authority to act absent a conviction.
A motion to adopt a resolution expressing no confidence in Council Member Stacy Bauer was made and seconded. The council approved the resolution; the motion passed with one council member recorded as opposed. The resolution itself is a formal expression of the council’s judgment and does not by itself vacate an elected seat or change legal status.
The council also noted that staff would consult the charter and state law about potential next steps if a vacancy were to occur, including the timing of any special election. The meeting was scheduled to go into executive session afterward under Texas Government Code §551.074 (personnel matters).
The council’s resolution follows months of public debate and litigation related to allegations tied to youth programs outside the town, and public speakers referenced court filings, a plea recommendation dated June 24 and the prospect of deferred adjudication with probation and restitution. The town’s attorney advised that statutory and charter questions would control any removal or disqualification, and that a criminal plea recommendation is not automatically the same as a conviction until accepted by a judge.
The council’s action closes this public meeting but does not alter the criminal case pending in Denton County; residents and council members said they expect additional legal events and potential follow-up from the council depending on court outcomes.","The Trophy Club Town Council voted to adopt a resolution expressing no confidence in Council Member Stacy Bauer after public testimony and council discussion tied to a pending criminal case and a deferred-adjudication plea agreement reported in court documents.","actionData","errors"]
