Dangerous dog ordinance, bond project reimbursement: 3 actions you might have missed from Flower Mound Town Council

“The situation that prompted this ordinance change was horrific,” council member Janvier Werner said.

Brookview site plan

Flower Mound Town Council unanimously approved a site plan for Phase 1A, which included a landscape buffer and sign face area exception. The planning and zoning commission recommended approval for the landscape buffer and provided feedback that a smaller sign face area would fit better at its Sept. 22 meeting.

The revised sign face is 80 square feet, a decrease from the 108 square feet from what was presented to the commission in September. The Phase 1A site plan covers 80.5 acres in the Brookview mixed-use development and includes:

• 313 single-family residential lots
• Four open spaces
• An amenity center
• One amenity lake lot

In September, a separate site plan for Phase 1B was approved by the commission, but it did not head to council since there were no exceptions requested. Phase 1B’s site plan includes 140 proposed townhome lots on 22.64 undeveloped acres.

Bond project reimbursement resolution

A reimbursement resolution will allow the town to satisfy project funding requirements before debt is issued within the 2025-26 fiscal year, according to town documents. The reimbursement will cover nearly $79.33 million in projects, said Julie Taylor, Flower Mound’s director of treasury operations.

The reimbursement will cover the issuing of general obligation bonds approved in May, issuance costs and certificates of obligation the town plans to sell.

The reimbursement resolution will allow the town to begin work on the projects, including improvements to the Community Activity Center and street projects. Under federal tax law, the resolution can satisfy funding requirements for the projects, per town documents.
