The cold front is here! No rain, but cooler weather to enjoy. I want to personally thank all the folks that put blue lights out to support our police!! It has been noticed and I for one am going to leave mine up in continued support! If you didn't get a free light, please consider going to Lowe's Bee Cave and buying one - I still have some candelabra bulbs (small base) at the City Hall.
Council will meet in regular session next Monday, November 21. Here is that agenda. We have a plat to approve on Bee Creek for a commercial area known as Paddocks at Bee Creek that I see no issues with. We have one short term rental application request at 109 Edgewater Cove - the applicant has completed the application process and Council will consider approving the SUP. We will be considering approving an easement for Lakeway MUD.
There will be an executive session to consider a land purchase. I expect it to be a fairly short meeting!
CBC met in regular session Thursday the 17th. Here was the agenda. Item 4 was removed and since it is a zoning variance it will possibly be heard in January at the Board of Adjustment. The view blocking at 19 Waterfront was found not to be an issue. A waiver at 133 Firebird was approved for a driveway with the addition of steps and a rail along with landscaping approval. 13 final occupancy permits were approved during our drive by. However, 304 Coopers Crown was not approved due to landscaping not finished, 101 Montagna Cove was not approved due to no yard light (this will be hard to complete after the fact), and 403 Bella Montagna Cove was not approved due to an unpainted spark arrestor.
I and BDS Director Ray Miller attended a meeting with Travis County staff to provide input for the county’s transportation plan. The public is invited to participate in a survey regarding transportation needs and solutions. The survey can be found at https://www.traviscountytx.gov/tnr/transportation-plan. Please encourage as many people as you can to take the survey.
The Lake Travis Regional Reuse and Recycling Center will host its next household hazardous waste collection and reuse event from 9 a.m. to noon Dec. 7 at 3207 Neidhardt Drive, behind the Lake Travis Fire Station 601 off General Williamson Drive.
Steve Jones and I had conversations with Victor Vargas again about converting the left from Main St. to 620 at the Oaks. He claims the turn radius does not work with the left from across 620 from the Vistas at Lakeway. I plan on starting a conversation to see what we can work out to fix the issue soon.
The Gary Sinise Foundation has scheduled a Groundbreaking Ceremony for a specially adapted smart home for Corporal Alan Babin< Jr. (Ret.). Here is a flyer with more information!
Monday was CAMPO night and they cancelled the meeting - unfortunately they didn't notify me in time and Steve Jones, Dwight Haley and I found out once we arrived. Long drive but spent some quality time with both Steve and Dwight.
The City is looking at amending the Short Term Rental ordinance in December - the number of permits has dropped significantly since the original ordinance was passed. Westlake Hills recently adopted a STR Ordinance - here is a link to their ordinance in the Impact.
Steve Jones and I attended an economic development seminar this week in Bastrop - hopefully we can use some of what we learned in new development areas.
Here is a report from BDS for the week from Director Ray Miller.
From the Chief:
LPD Officers conducted 189 traffic stops, responded to 7 alarm calls, investigated 14 suspicious circumstance calls, handled 26 animal calls, responded to 7 vehicle crashes and handled 113 other types of calls for service for a total of 346.
Routine traffic stops resulted in the following charges; Out of Jurisdiction Warrants X 1, Lakeway Warrants X 2, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia X 4, Possession of Marijuana X 1, Possession of a Controlled Substance X 1, and Driving while Intoxicated X 1.
Officers responded to a RR 620 S. Bar and Restaurant reference a disturbance call. It was reported by the management that a customer had returned after closing and was causing a disturbance outside the building. The subject was gone when officers arrived. Later, the subject returned and was caught on video smashing out the front window glass of the business, with a rock. The subject was located and arrested for criminal mischief; he was transported to Travis County Jail.
Detective Proctor concluded an investigation into a fraud case. A victim in the investigation had been paying a repairman to repair damage to their vehicle. The victim paid out $3,600 and the suspect did not make any effort to do the repairs. It was learned during the investigation, the suspect had scammed several other people in Travis County. An arrest warrant was issued for the suspect.
That's all for this week - more as I find out. Thanks for all the support, email me at lakeway@bain.us to be added to my email list.
