ZAPCO met in regular session Wednesday. Here is the agenda. The main item on the agenda was a Special Use Permit for a business at 15301 Pheasant Lane. Click for larger image. The property is zoned C-1 which allows business - the SUP is required because it is within 300 feet of a residence. A lot of discussion - much of which was centered on issues not before the commission. Dumpster locations and landscaping are covered by ordinances not in the purview of ZAPCO. After almost an hour of discussion and restrictions on time of operation an SUP was "recommended" to council.
The second item on the agenda was a monument sign change requested by Civitas Senior Living to rename the monument sign to Legacy Oaks. Since the sign also had a description and that is against ordinance the description was deleted and the rest of the sign was approved.
Other items were postponed because all the requirements had not been met.

Election season is upon us again to elect two council members to fill Haley and Hennagin's seats.
Filing opened on July 21, 2018 and closes on August 20, 2018. Election day is November 6, 2018 and the term will be 18 months. This is all because of the pause in the three year terms from the May election.
Hopefully we will have some folks step up that are interested in doing good for the city. Candidates with tax liens and judgments are not folks I want managing my tax dollars.

Lakeway unfortunately was on the news because a drunk mother locked herself and 10 year old boy in a car during the heat of the day. Lakeway Police responded and fortunately they were both ok. It's a shame we are attracting folks and this type of behavior. Cudo's to the LPD for a quick resolution!
The Lakeway MUD meets August 8, 2018 at 9:30 AM in their district office, 1097 Lohmans Crossing. Here is that agenda.
The AKA Vocal Show Group is presenting "Hooray for Hollywood:The Movies". Here is a link to the flyer for all the scoop.
Here's the latest from Dallas Gorman and the Activity Center. Lots of good things going on!
I was contacted by a resident about an issue with a couple of folks that claim to do dent repair. Please use an established company and for sure don't pay in cash. Three different instances of shoddy work and no warranty - I recommend you try FIX-A-DENT at 401 620 North for smaller repairs and my go to is Whitakers Auto Body off 620 for larger jobs. Both do outstanding work!
Thanks to a grant the Lakeway Police have added better bullet proof vests to their force. In October 2017 they applied for a grant with Governor Abbot's office and were awarded $17,500 and that bought 32 vests. Great News!
That's all for now, more as I find out. Thanks for the interest in our great city. To be added (or removed) send a note to lakeway@bain.us and I'll take care of it.
Check out my new website www.skypict.com - lots of Lakeway Pictures including all the new area construction. If you want a picture send me an email!
