Planning commission recommends replat to convey water tower parcel to Trophy Club MUD No. 1

The Trophy Club Planning & Zoning Commission on Nov. 13 voted unanimously to recommend approval of Replat RP‑25‑001, a replat of roughly 1.374 acres within the NISD High School block that establishes a separate lot for the town’s existing gated water‑tower site.

Matt Cox, director of community development, said the replat is administrative in nature; it formalizes existing boundaries and facilitates conveyance of above‑ground water infrastructure to Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 (the MUD) so the district can assume ownership, maintenance and oversight of the tower site. Cox said the replat does not propose new development or a change in land use.

Staff and the town attorney explained the replat is part of a larger, multi‑step process in which the MUD expanded its boundaries to consolidate water service and enable coordinated financing for fire services and system integration. The replat creates a discrete legal parcel to be conveyed in a subsequent instrument; staff recommended the commission forward the replat to Town Council for final approval.

Commissioners asked whether cellular equipment leases on the tower and the associated revenue would transfer to the MUD. Staff said the town intends to retain the cellular equipment and related lease revenue; the details of any long‑term agreements would be addressed during the conveyance process.

A motion to approve RP‑25‑001 carried unanimously and will be forwarded to Town Council. Staff said final conveyance, and any needed title or easement clarifications, will be completed as part of the town’s transfer process to the MUD.

The replat was described by staff as meeting applicable subdivision and zoning requirements; the record includes staff confirmation that the town attorney had reviewed the replat for form and legality.
