Proud to Be a Lakeway Resident
RECEIVED Wed., March 22, 2006
Dear Editor,
Today I am proud to be a Lakeway resident, because at the March 20 City Council meeting I witnessed the heart of this city. The city of Lakeway turned down the annexation of the Clara Van neighborhood. This shows that the council listens to the citizens of Lakeway and its neighbors.
Now it is time to let the City Council hear our voice again on a new subject, simply stated as the overdevelopment of Lakeway. At the same meeting the council tabled a vote on the annexation and rezoning of the Chandler tract, Trevino tract, and Westhill JV subdivision at the request of the Travis Oaks residents. I can't thank the council enough for this action. We have one month to prepare our argument to preserve our neighborhood and maintain the quality of the BCP.
The proposed development calls for 198 condos on approximately 45 acres. Yes, that's right, 198 new families in a densely populated area that boarders the perserve. If you have been in Lakeway recently you have seen the progression of development and felt the pain of increased overdevelopment adjacent to the BCP.
I personally have the pleasure of living in a quiet neighborhood adjacent to the Balcones Canyonlands Perserve. Like my neighbors at Travis Oaks, I awake to the sound of a large bird population. The development of the adjacent property will forever change the landscape of this neighborhood and the pristine BCP. I ask you to speak out against further densely planned development in Lakeway. Let your voices be heard. Send an e-mail or call your local representative to express your concern.
