Harbor Lakes planned-development amendment approved to add three pickleball courts and fitness space
Summary
The commission approved an amendment to the Harbor Lakes planned development to add three pickleball courts, a volleyball area and a possible future fitness center at 2100 Clubhouse Drive; neighbors raised concerns about noise, parking and construction begun before approval.
The City of Granbury Planning and Zoning Commission voted Monday to amend the Harbor Lakes planned development (PD) to add three pickleball courts, a volleyball area and a possible future fitness center at 2100 Clubhouse Drive.
City staff described the site as 1.139 acres in the clubhouse/pool area and said the change would add recreational uses consistent with existing development. "They're proposing to redevelop the old pool area in front of the clubhouse into...3 pickleball courts," staff member Cody said, and presented a site plan showing three 60-by-30-foot courts with a 10-foot buffer between dual-sided courts and a 3-foot protective fence between dual courts and around the courts.
Applicant Kevin Floropoulos, a Harbor Lakes partner, told the commission the building on site would be repurposed to house the pro shop, restrooms and a possible future fitness center. He said the PD amendment replaces previously planned tennis courts and that the club inherited the property from the HOA in 2015.
Two nearby residents spoke in opposition during the hearing, raising questions about hours, noise mitigation, parking and construction already underway. "The work is already started there before this is approved and that's concerning too," Kenneth Pierce of 2114 Clive Drive told the commission. Peter Beauvais of 2005 Clive Drive said the proposed noise mitigation measures were "totally inadequate" and asked that protections be codified in permit conditions.
The applicant and staff said there would be no lighting proposed for the courts and that hours would be limited to "sun up to sunset." The applicant also said existing netting will be replaced with newer netting intended as sound and wind barriers and that planned fencing would be about six feet tall, leaving air gaps on each end.
Staff mailed 21 notices to property owners within 200 feet and published notice in the Hood County newspaper on May 24, 2025; staff reported zero letters for or against and recommended approval. Commissioner Klass moved to approve the PD amendment and Commissioner Allen seconded; the motion passed.
The commission and staff clarified that the approved site plan governs what can be built: any material change such as adding lights or additional courts would require the applicant to return for approval.
