In case you haven't noticed, the construction on Hwy. 71 is causing major traffic issues, especially around rush time! Be sure to allow additional travel time and drive safely!
The Hospital behind the Post Office seems to be moving forward again. Their new name is Lake Travis Plaza Medical Campus. They are coming to ZAPCO next week for approval of signs. They have recently taken out permits to do some remodeling of the building.
The large hospital complex will be at ZAPCO also to seek approval for more signs for their location. Here is the complete agenda for ZAPCO.
More feedback is coming in from some of the areas looked at for annexation. Staff and council will be looking at all the information and public hearings will be scheduled.
From Steve Jones:
The City was granted party status by Judge Paul Keeper of the State office of Administrative Hearings in the matter of the Hill Country groundwater conservation district. Pretrial filings will start beginning in March of next year - expect some slips in the schedule because of notification issues.
Beginning November 1st, Lakeway Resort and Spa will be under new management. Redstone Companies Hospitality (owner/operator of the Houstonian) will be the new manager.
Steve Jones has accepted a seat on a steering committee to conduct an economic impact study to evaluate the Lake Travis economy - especially with regard to lake water levels and water quality. He will certainly be an asset to the committee and to our City working on these issues!
There was a groundbreaking ceremony on Monday for Real Del Lago, a 22,500 square foot center for retail, office and a restaurant located on RR 620 and Lohmans Spur. Craigo's Pizza and Pasta restaurant will be one of the tenants.
Lakeway Airpark South has submitted a new site plan and building plans for hangars and the City Engineer has informed them that a special use permit will be required before building plans will be approved per the new AV zoning ordinance. The City received word yesterday that the El Paso Medical Group (owners of Lakeway Airpark South) have filed a lawsuit against the City claiming, among other things that our zoning ordinance is unreasonable. More on this as it happens.
The police department cleared at least four burglary cases this week. Two suspects were caught inside a residence and were charged with burglary of a habitation. The suspects were also believed responsible of 2 other prior cases in the World of Tennis Condos and Schooner area. Steve Jones was partially responsible for bringing attention to a suspicious vehicle!
The police had another manhunt this week for a man who ran from a traffic stop. He was not found but the car was impounded along with other evidence. Good Work!
Water leaked into the City Hall during the heavy rain last month, soaking the carpet in the finance department. While working on the leak, more issues were identified and they discovered the windows were not properly installed and sealed when the building was built. It may cost 10 to 15 thousand dollars to make the repairs. It appears the general contractor has gone out of business and the subcontractor has not been identified as of this time.
___________________________
On a better note, it appears the sales tax revenues are on the rise for Lakeway per the Bee Cave Bee.
North of town, Sears Home Town Store's doors have reportedly already opened in the Lighthouse Market Center (across from Oak Grove Plaza). Sobani Restaurant and Wine Bar is expected to open in about 2 weeks and will feature modern American food.
More as I find out!

Council Work Session Results, CBC
Council met yesterday at 3PM in a work session for a presentation by Assistant City Manager Chessie Blanchard on a study done by staff on areas of possible annexation. As part of the Comprehensive Plan, the City looks at areas surrounding the City that can affect our citizens and also areas that possibly benefit from the city that do not necessarily share in the expense of those benefits.
Residents of Travis Oaks Trails and Cardinal Hills 6&7 showed up in force to oppose the annexation of their neighborhoods. After a lengthy public comment session, Council voted to remove those sections to be voted on separately.
Council then voted unanimously to continue to develop a plan for all sections except Travis Oaks Trails and Cardinal Hills 6&7. On a second vote, by a margin of 4-3, Council voted to continue to develop a plan on Travis Oaks Trails and Cardinal Hills 6&7.
There will be several more public hearings before the final vote to annex and the process will take several months.
Here are the study documents presented Council at the meeting. Annex1, annex2 and map.
The City Building Commission (CBC) will meet at 9AM on Thursday, October 28. Here is their agenda.

Weekly Update!
Don't forget the Lakeway Arts Committee is hosting the Lakeway Photo Festival, Sunday October 24 from 3-5 PM at the Lakeway Activity Center. It's a fun time and you can vote for the photo you like the best!
Early voting is brisk to say the least at Randall's Supermarket. As of noon Wednesday more than 2100 good folks had voted - I'm told that generally in a mid term election they would have had less than 50. this will be a record!
From Steve Jones:
Be on the lookout for new police cars soon - however they will look a little different this time! We are going to test Chevy Tahoes for police cruisers - they will be sporting new colors also! they cost less to purchase and get better gas mileage to boot! The one we are getting is a special police version - keep you eyes open and I'll let you know when they get here!
Dispatcher Byron Hilton has decided to take the Travis County Sheriff's Office course on his own time to be certified as a crime victims specialist. Once he completes his training the city will look into starting our own crime victims team. Thanks Byron!
The City has been working to recover money spent on the unsuccessful EIS police software. The city has sent them a demand letter and documentation has been turned over to our attorney. If necessary, the Council will be asked for authorization to file a lawsuit if their response is unacceptable.
For those wondering about the hospital behind the Post Office, they have submitted a sign application and are doing some interior remodeling. It will be called "Lake Travis Plaza Medical Campus". There is no completion time frame at this time.
The City is working with At&T to mitigate some of the issues with the new U-verse boxes being placed around the city. Hopefully it will all work out.
Ramming Paving has delayed our paving project by a week. they should start work Monday, November 1st.
_______________________
Steve Jones has been contacted and approached to be a member of an advisory committee working on Austin Energy's upcoming rate change. They want him to represent small cities other than Austin that Austin Energy serves. He should be able to provide a perspective from a small city point of view that will benefit our residents.
That's all for now!

Special Edition - Council Workshop, AT&T, Police
Just found out that over 2,100 folks have already voted at Randall's - this is a GREAT turnout! Normally on a mid term election the count would be less than 100 at this point. GOOD JOB!
There will be a Council Workshop Monday, October 25th to present the Annexation study to the Council and work through issues on how this study interfaces with the City's Comprehensive plan. Here is the agenda.
You might have seen some of the work being done around the city by
AT&T. They are installing a fiber network that will enable their U-verse product. There have been some issues with equipment installation that the City has some concern with. Steve Jones is meeting with a representative from AT&T to see what options are available in these situations.
The Lakeway Police Academy Alumni Association met last night and elected officers for the upcoming year. To join this organization, you must attend the Lakeway Police Academy - this is a GREAT opportunity to learn and become involved with the local police - fantastic experience! I'll have contact information and dates for the next class soon.
More Police News - For the first time in a long time the police force is at full strength. Several officers have been added and we now have full shifts. Officers also now have in car computers that give them access to more information and allow reports to be done from their vehicles. This is allowing officers to be on patrol a much higher percentage of the time - good news for all of us!
More as I learn about it!

Council Update - October 18th Regular Session
Long meeting - let's get started! Here is a pdf of the full agenda.
5. Mayor DeOme accepted a check from Pedernales Electric for approximately $55,000. This is the quarterly franchise payment.
6. The week of October 18 through October 22, 2010 was proclaimed Chamber of Commerce Week in Lakeway.
7. A professional services agreement with Samco Capital Markets was approved for financial advisory services.
8. A professional services agreement was approved with PBS&J to develop a capital improvements plan.
9. The City Attorney was authorized to seek party status on behalf of the City of Lakeway on TCEQ's formation of a groundwater district - the City is on record opposing this district since a majority of the tax revenues would come from Lakeway and Bee Cave, both cities use almost no groundwater.
10. A Special Use Permit was eventually granted to P. Terry's Burger Stand. Residents of the condo association brought out several issues, but P. Terry prevailed with information provided by a traffic study and by agreeing to close the drive through at 10PM Sunday through Thursday evenings along with working with neighbors to fix any issues.
11. A Highlands Greenbelt lot was annexed into the City to provide access for a water line to an existing treatment plant for Highlands citizens.
12. The previous lot was zoned GB (Greenbelt).
13. Lakeway Airpark South came to the Council again for a zoning change from AV to R-1. Although they agreed to stipulations requested from the council, there are still issues with the current plan for the entire property. Since ZAPCO recommended against the rezoning, it required a super majority of votes. The measure failed to pass 5 for, two against.
14. The AV zoning ordinance was amended to "clean up" the current ordinance and maintain control of the Aviation District. It was passed unanimously.
15. An ordinance adopting public hearing dates and a service plan for the proposed annexation of the property known as the Villas at The Hills was passed unanimously.
16. And finally, the Final Plat acceptance for Serene Hills Subdivision Phase 2E was postponed once again because no more information has been received. This is one of the hold ups to opening the road to 71.
Thanks for LOOKING!

Last Week and Next!
First, last week from Steve Jones:
Police - Many of our officers do off-duty security work to supplement their wages, especially during the holiday season. Highway contractors working on SH 71 near Bee Cave would like to hire them and a patrol car to help with traffic control - the City is allowing them to use a car for a fee that covers all expenses - it's a good thing for all. Wave at our officers as you go by - it's making the road safer!
Monday night there is an item on the agenda to authorize the City Attorney to seek party status for Lakeway in the groundwater conservation district matter. Since our Attorney also represents Bee Cave also, if we approve a waiver of conflict, we can split the fees with them - good for both Cities!
Crosswater Marina applicants prevailed in their defense of a lawsuit brought against them by a resident of Graveyard Point - apparently freeing them to continue the marina project. City Staff will be working on issues in the next few weeks.
More good news! Austin / Travis County EMS has announced that they will locate another ambulance in our area soon. The station will be located temporarily on the East side of RR 620 near the intersection of Home Depot Drive.
Contractors will begin paving streets on Monday, October 25th. This is our normal overlay project. Roads included are Orion, Acapulco, Morning Cloud, Firebird Cv., Sailmaster, Lohmans Crossing (Hurst Creek to Sailmaster), Galaxy Cv., Medalist, Electra, and a piece of Hills Dr.
The YMCA of Austin will be conducting a survey of residents within a three-mile radius of Lakeway to ascertain the feasibility of a new facility in Lakeway. Make your voice heard one way or another.
Dont' forget the Goblin Glow tonight at City Park, starting at 7:00PM!
__________________________
Council will meet Monday evening at 6:30PM. It appears to be a long agenda, here it is!
Several items of interest:
10. P.Terry is asking for a special use permit for a hamburger restaurant across from the Junior and High School.
13. Once again, Lakeway Airpark South is asking for 2.7 acres to be re-zoned R-1 from AV.
14. The Council will consider revising the AV District Ordinance.
15. Council will consider starting the annexation process for the Villas at the Hills.
All of the above have in some way been contested on one side or the other. Join us for an interesting meeting!
AT&T and their contractors seem to be nearing the finish line on installing fiber around the City. Thanks to everyone for their patience, hopefully it will be done soon.
Serene Hills Dr. is still in pause mode. Other work is being done and needs to be complete before the road is open. I'll try to give you a heads up when it happens.
If you haven't made it to the Parade of Homes, it's certainly worth while! One of our local builders won a prestigious award with his homes! Congratulate Steve Zebranek on his win!
See you at City Hall - more coming soon!

Mid Week Update!
Lakeway MUD met in their regular meeting today at 9:30 at the LMUD offices - here is the full agenda.
I'll go through the main parts:
4. A leak adjustment was approved for 615 Lake Estates after through discussion.
5. An extension of time was granted until December 31st for Out of District Waste Water Services at 108 Eagle Cove. This is the second extension of time and the Homeowner was not present.
6. Property insurance deductibles were increased from $1000 to $5000 and any property under a $5000 value will not be insured. This change appeared to save the District about $500 a year although after evaluating past history (15 years) it appears the losses will exceed the savings - time will tell.
7. There was a request for permission to install a sign at the corner of Stuart and 620 on LMUD land from a sign company salesperson. This was tabled until more info was obtained and permitted.
8. An auditor was hired for the internal financial audit.
9. The 15th amendment was accepted for the 19 acre earnest money contract with some revisions. The new close date is December 12th.
The City building Commission will meet in regular session tomorrow, October 14th. Here is that agenda.
Monday, October 18th City Council will meet in regular session at 6:30PM. I will post the agenda as soon as it is available. Items that have stirred some interest are P.Terry's Special Use Permit for a drive through, annexation issues and AV Zoning changes including changes to the AV Ordinance and a request to rezone a part of the property to R-1. I am told it is a long agenda.
From Steve Jones last week:
ZAPCO approved special use permits for model homes in the Ridge at Alta Vista and The Preserve. This means builders are back to selling new homes again.
ZAPCO also discussed Chessie Blanchard's annexation study. Several residents of Travis Oak Trails spoke against annexation - there was no public comment on any other subject areas. The Commission voted to support the results of the study with the exception of Travis Oak Trails. More to come on this.
The Executive Director of the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality (TCEQ) is recommendingthe commission create a groundwater conservation district that would include western Comal Count, northwestern Hays County and southwest Travis County including Lakeway. This commission would be created without voter approval and would have the authority to impose a new property tax. Lakeway's tax would fund 70% of the districts budget and since we use essentially no groundwater we would receive little of no benefit from the district. The Mayor and Mr. Jones have contacted both our state reqresentatives and the Governor Perry to express our opposition.

What's Happening?
If you missed the "Dancing With the Stars" event supporting the Lake Travis Community Library, you really missed a fun event. Our own Police Chief Todd Radford won the competition - here is a youtube video of his winning performance! Chief Radford's Dance
Tonight, Tuesday October 5th, is National Night Out. There are several folks around town putting together meet and greets so you can get to know your neighbors.
The ZAPCO meeting is Wednesday, October 6th at 9:10AM. Here is the agenda. ZAPCO agenda. Of special interest will be the Annexation Program and a Zoning Ordinance change for the AV (Aviation) zoning district. There are also several signs and model homes on the agenda.
This weeks Men's Breakfast Club will feature Ted Lain from Steiner Ranch Dermatology.
From Steven Jones Report ---
Judge Madison is one of the first graduates from a new study course offered by the National Judicial College titled Traffic Issues for Judges and Adjudicators. Congratulations!
The City purchased traffic counters in order to do some analysis of traffic on our local streets. They are doing studies on Highlands Blvd. currently.
The City is installing ribbon curb on the westbound lane of Lakeway Blvd near South El Dorado Dr. because of a drop-off at the edge of the road.
The City Manager and Assistant City Manager met with residents of Travis Oak Trails to discuss possible annexation of their neighborhood.
Deer trapping began last Thursday, September 30th at 5:30PM. Please stay away from the trapping areas.
AT&T has contractors working hard to install fiber to several locations in Lakeway to enable their U-verse service. Looks like Time Warner might get some competition in the near future.
More to come soon I'm sure!
