Residents of the Villas of Lost Canyon voiced strong opposition to a proposed development during the Austin Board of Adjustment meeting on June 9, 2025. Homeowners expressed concerns that the project would significantly diminish their property values and disrupt their community.

Mike Homasare, a resident and owner of Unit 24, highlighted his frustration with the lack of meaningful engagement from the developers. He noted that despite a previous request for a postponement to facilitate discussions, the developers had made minimal efforts to address the homeowners' concerns. Homasare urged the board to proceed with the case, emphasizing that further delays would only waste the time of community members who had come to express their views.

Ted Swyfirth, president of the Villas homeowners association, echoed Homasare's sentiments, stating that the developers had shown little willingness to consider alternative solutions that would accommodate the interests of the Villas community. He argued that the developers' approach had been inflexible, leaving no room for negotiation.

The board's decision on whether to hear the case today remains to be seen, but the residents' strong stance indicates a community united in their desire to protect their neighborhood's integrity and property values. As the situation develops, the implications for both the homeowners and the proposed project will be closely monitored.
