The Trophy Club Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously recommended that Town Council approve a replat to create a separate parcel for an existing water‑tower site and facilitate conveyance to Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1.

Staff explained the replat covers roughly 1.374 acres within the NISD High School Block 1 and is being pursued so the town can convey ownership and maintenance responsibility for the above‑ground tower site to the MUD. Matt Cox said the replat does not propose any new development and that the town’s subdivision ordinance and zoning regulations have been met in the staff review. Dean, the town attorney, reviewed the replat as to form and legality, staff reported.

Why it matters: The MUD has operated and integrated the town’s water system and also provides fire services; expanding MUD boundaries and conveying the tower parcel simplifies administration of water and related services. Staff said the MUD and town have coordinated boundary and annexation actions to consolidate water assets under the MUD’s control.

Cell tower revenue and attachments: Commissioners asked whether the town would be transferring cellular tower leases or revenue with the parcel. Staff said the town intends to retain the cellular equipment and revenue streams associated with the tower; whether additional attachments can be added in the future will be resolved in coordination with the MUD.

Outcome and next steps: A motion to recommend approval of the replat was made, seconded, and carried unanimously. Staff said the replat is an administrative action if it meets the ordinances and that the town will convey the parcel to the MUD, likely by deed or related conveyance in early 2026 after boundary matters are finalized.

Speaker quotes: "The replat does not propose any new development or changes to existing land use," Matt Cox said. "Our intent is to not convey the cellular equipment and the revenues associated with that," a staff member said when discussing revenue retention.

The recommendation will be forwarded to Town Council for final approval and the town will coordinate the legal conveyance with Trophy Club MUD No. 1.
