Monday night the City of Lakeway's Arts Committee Presents Lakeway Big Band Bash - Featuring The Republic of Texas Band. Doors open at 7:30 at the Activity Center.
ZAPCO will meet on January 11, 2012 at 9:10AM in regular session. Here is that agenda. There are several sign requests along with some model home SUP's.
There will be a presentation by the Lakeway Regional Medical Center regarding future development plans for the Center.
There is a Code Amendment being presented to restrict residents from driving on their lawns - this amendment is precipitated by an issue with a resident driving around the side of his house repeatedly and causing issues with a neighbor. Should be an interesting discussion.
The City Building Commission will meet next week on January 12, 2012 at 9:00AM in regular session. Here is that agenda. Looks like there are 2 variance requests, both wanting to encroach into a street setback for a fence. There are a couple of height requests also. I bet they make lunch!
From Steve Jones:
The City received a letter from the Lake Travis Community Library District Board of Trustees indicating they are ready to move forward with awarding a contract for constructing the Library. There will be an item on the January 17th agenda authorizing the city's financial advisors to bid out the bonds for this project with the goal of awarding the sale at our Feb. meeting. A Special Council Meeting may be required to award the bid before it expires.
Code enforcement has been active in our newly annexed areas. They are looking into the legality of a masonry fence being constructed without a permit in Brooks Hollow - there is a question as to whether it is grandfathered or not. They have also begun procedures to have an abandoned house on Kohlers Trail in Travis Oaks Trails to have the home repaired or removed.
The solid waste department held a meeting this week with our partners (WCID 17 and the Village of The Hills) in the annual household hazardous waste collection program. We are looking into the possibility of locating a “permanent” site that could be available to our residents on a regular (quarterly or monthly) basis. We are investigating the cost. We believe we may be close to being able to provide this service at the same cost as our current annual program due to the flexibility and efficiency of a permanent facility.
Jim Swift, human-interest reporter for KXAN, came to city hall today to produce a story on the Liebelt Cabin. He spent a couple of hours interviewing several of us and filming the worksite. Mr. Swift does not know when the story will air but said that he would try to give us advance notice. I will let you know if I find out in time. It should be an interesting story. Mike Boston took a great deal of time talking to him about the history of the cabin and our area.
State Climatologist, John Nielsen-Gammon will talk about the Texas drought at a meeting sponsored by the Central Texas Water Coalition on January 12th at Carlos' N Charlie's. Click here for details.
Public Works reports that:
•Yesterday was the last “First Thursday” until July for disposal of oak trimmings. There was an above average amount of brush hauled to the disposal site Thursday.
•Many Christmas trees have already been dropped off and chipped. Part of our crew has been busy this week just managing the accumulating brush and Christmas trees.
•Dale Delong is making progress with our new street-sign management software and computer.
•We prepared one bay of our shop to receive the annual shipment of Lakeway telephone directories. They will be distributed tomorrow morning (Saturday).
