The Lago Vista Special City Council meeting held on January 28, 2025, focused on several key agenda items, primarily concerning the ongoing development at Firefly Cove.

The meeting commenced with a discussion regarding the application for consent to a Municipal Utility District (MUD) by Firefly Cove. A motion was made to approve the petition for consent and to authorize legal counsel to enter into an agreement outlining the deal points discussed during the hearing. These deal points include a projected revenue of $3 million for the city, the construction of eight pickleball courts, and public access to the Firefly Cove lakefront.

Further deliberations highlighted the Firefly Cove Planned Development District (PDD), which has approved a detailed plan for the lakefront area. The ordinance governing Firefly Cove specifies the land use for 19 lakefront acres, with certain parcels designated for residents of the development. It was noted that access to the lakefront for Draper's Cove property owners and their guests is governed by a private easement agreement.

Council members emphasized the importance of addressing the unique conditions outlined in the ordinance, particularly regarding public access and the implications for residents and guests. The discussions underscored the need for timely resolution of these issues to ensure the development aligns with community interests.

In conclusion, the meeting addressed significant developments related to Firefly Cove, with key decisions made regarding the MUD application and ongoing discussions about lakefront access and amenities. The council plans to continue reviewing these matters in future meetings to ensure all stakeholders are considered.
