The Flower Mound Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval of agenda item J1, a request to allow rooftop decks at a villas development on Lakeside Parkway, after a short public comment period and brief deliberation. The motion carried unanimously in roll call: Commissioner Schultz, Commissioner Behav, Commissioner Langley, Commissioner Hobbs, Commissioner Harris and Commissioner Jackson voted "aye." The item is a recommendation to the Town Council.

Supporters at the public hearing said the rooftop decks would enhance the project's design and amenity value. "We just love it. And we love what Corey is doing," a resident said, adding that the view of the lake made the project "very unique." Wendy Benoit, who gave her address as 2850 Lakeside Parkway, said, "We absolutely love our place" and expressed support for the proposal.

Commissioners generally described the proposal as well designed and compatible with surrounding development. Several commissioners said parking was already provided within the project, reducing concerns about overflow; one commissioner raised a small reservation about the possibility that rooftop areas could later be enclosed, noting a desire to avoid unintended increases in conditioned square footage. Another commissioner referenced prior discussions about additional square footage and patio areas and said the issue merited future consideration if similar requests arise.

The formal motion recorded was to approve agenda J1 "as presented." A roll call was held and the motion carried; the recording notes the meeting adjourned at 7:24 p.m.

Next steps: the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation will be forwarded to the Flower Mound Town Council for consideration; the council meeting date and any further staff reports were not specified in the transcript.
