Week End Update

Hi folks!

This week was relatively quiet and that's a good thing. See the previous post for the "shots fired incident". Halloween went smoothly and as far as I can tell, everyone had a good time.

From Steve Jones:
Hunter Interests is succeeding Masonwood as the managing partner of Serene Hills subdivision. One of their goals is to open up Serene Hills Drive to traffic to encourage HEB to commit to moving forward with building a store. There are several pad sites "sold" contingent on the HEB being built. More soon!

The Crosswater marina development is coming back. It appears the developer has won one the lawsuit filed by residents. It is expected to be on a Council agenda soon.

ZAPCO's agenda was routine sign approvals. Lakeway Regional Medical Center was granted variances for a monument sign and building sign that exceed the maximum allowed size - the signs were ruled to be appropriate because of the scale and size of the project.

The City's asphalt contractor held a pre-construction meeting here today - they once again say they will start the paving process Monday - we will see if it happens!

The City was served with a plaintiff's petition for a lawsuit by East El Paso Medical Group this week. They are seeking a declaratory judgment, injunctive relief and unspecified damages for not receiving approval of their requested zoning change. An attorney has been furnished by TML to defend the City. Here is a copy of the petition.

The deer trapping has started and currently thirty nine animals have been caught.
