S TAFF C ONTACT: Ron Ruthven, Planning and Development Director Strategic Alignment Outcome Vision, Value, Mission Perspective Strategic Theme & Results Objective High Quality Planning, Design & Development - We are a desirable well Planned / Responsible Citizen, Student & Preserve Desirability planned, high-quality community that Development Stakeholder & Quality of Life is distinguished by exemplary design standards. Strategic Initiative Outside the Scope of Identified Strategic Initiatives E XECUTIVE S UMMARY (I NCLUDING A PPLICABLE O RGANIZATIONAL H ISTORY) The property owner, The Vaquero Club, Inc., is requesting a final plat of the 194.094-acre subject property. The subject property is developed as a private club and includes an existing 18-hole golf course, clubhouse, tennis courts, pickle-ball courts and other various amenities owned and operated by The Vaquero Club. The subject property serves as the principal open space area and amenity for the Vaquero residential development. A final plat for the subject property was approved by the Town Council on October 23, 2000. However, the final plat was not recorded with the Tarrant County Clerk andplat subsequently expired without being recorded. Per the attached letter, the applicant proposes major improvements to the golf course. As part of these improvements, the subject property must be platted pursuant to Section 82-3(i) in the Town’s subdivision regulations, which states: “NO BUILDING PERMIT UNTIL PROPERTY HAS BEEN PLATTED. No building permit or certificate of occupancy shall be issued for any parcel or tract of land Page 1 of 2 until the property has received final plat or development plat approval, and no private improvements shall take place or be commenced except in conformity with these regulations.” Therefore, the proposed final plat satisfies the above requirement. S TAFF R ECOMMENDATIONS The proposed final plat complies with the Vaquero zoning regulations and Town ordinances. Staff recommends approval of this item. A TTACHMENTS Letter from applicant Proposed Final Plat Exhibit Page 2 of 2 Vaquero 2300 Vaquero Club Drive Westlake, Texas 76262 Telephone: 817.379.2441 Email: marty&@vaqueroclub.com M E M O R A N D U M To:Development Review Committee From:Marty Hoeffken, General Manager, Vaquero Club Re:February 22, 2022Vaquero Club Plat Resubmittal Date:February17, 2022 The following is in responseto the Town Engineersrequest for Vaquero to provide commentary on the potential impact of the golf course projecton home values in the Vaquero neighborhood. The strategyand mission behind the golf course project isto deliver the Vaqueromembership one of the best golf courses in the country.The golf course is thekeystone asset for theoverall Club and for the Vaquero residential community. The golf course is now 20 years oldand the key golf course infrastructure(irrigation& drainage)has reached or surpassed the end of its expected useful life. More importantly, the greens and the bunkers have also surpassed their useful life and are rapidly deteriorating. Failure of one or more of these components of the golf course would be detrimental to residential values andClub membership values. Inanticipation of this need, the Club developed a master plan for the golf course over five years ago. Last year, the Club finalized the details of a plan to make generational investment in thegolf course and presented it to the Club membership for approval.The Members of Vaquero overwhelminglysupportedthe $20 millioninvestmentto among other things put in new irrigation, new drainage, new greens, and new bunkers and to change in some cases the courselayout to improvethe golfcourse playability and position it as one of the best course on the Southwest. The Club has partnered with Andrew Green, a world-class architect, to execute this project and to position Vaquero as the premier club in the Southwest. A key driver of the value of homes in the Vaquero community is access to the Club and its facilities. Currently, 160 of Vaqueros 300 homeowners are members of the club. This substantial investment in the golf course by the Vaquero Club will substantially improve the key amenity at Vaquero and serve to protect and enhance the value of the homes in the Vaquero residential community.
