Fisher said the hangar is on property considered part of Airpark South and that, while usual aviation activity has not been a problem, the hangar has recently been used for two events promoted for a private lending business. Fisher said the first event included a band and the second, in July, drew what she estimated to be at least 25 cars parked outside the hangar. She said signage advertised valet parking at the City of Lakeway Swim Center parking lot. Fisher told the commission these events occurred without permits and that the gate at 2910 Lakeway Boulevard had repeatedly been left open, allowing pass-through access to Lakeway Boulevard until a cease-and-desist order was issued by Building and Development.

Fisher asked commissioners to accept a written letter she had sent to City Council and provided copies to the city secretary at the meeting. Chairwoman Vance acknowledged receipt and instructed staff to take the materials. The speakers said their concerns were primarily safety-related; Fisher noted that a 2019 crash with one fatality occurred less than 500 feet from their property.

Because the matter was not on the meeting agenda, the commission did not take action on the concerns during this session. Fisher requested that staff have the submitted documents recorded for city consideration.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Lakeway - Zoning and Planning","oneSentenceSummary","Residents told the Zoning and Planning Commission that events and commercial uses at a hangar at 2910 Lakeway Boulevard have occurred without permits and raised safety and traffic concerns; no formal action was taken because the item was not on the agenda.","taxTitle","Lakeway, Travis County, Texas","taxId",69618,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6506859,"Commission approves special-use permit for SendHound grooming at 900 Ranch Road 620 S with 20-year term",249,3833000,4082000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5545706-b17f86607d47251fe07f765f861adc79&start=3833&end=4082","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5545706-b17f86607d47251fe07f765f861adc79/thumbnail_3833000.jpg","/articles/6506859/Lakeway/Travis-County/Texas/Commission-approves-special-use-permit-for-SendHound-grooming-at-900-Ranch-Road-620-S-with-20-year-term","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6506859-1f81883769ad750482ccea35357c2bbe/orig.mp4?Expires=1771028532&Signature=TC1EiWGxuEZ59HwhC7riU2xCU27hW18YnWwqVEM-EmJH~U5xPcfvbcyBrQ0ku4yZi~Jp~rIpfmTa-T7~I0vbCQaZE6x~pTvikTQHW~ZTDaWMCCQNJ8Gm6cT8V4gFhcnYQBjG2RwQsqOTBX20hSl0rXlIkIfZkm4~L7R0IoC8aFSVjDXOss0gMXWv1-4s1FGhgMB8JyhZQeH10J2FFtqVKlA2Xv9vBdFvU3EzdQ98jGGPBJkPOMyc6zF8teYUIzn4BHKZ7M-FPrFAnbJ51TQgIskQSl7NUCnNNEfkZJdq8rGpcTVggYY61DhnrmeULnr18YZBgqXPPlBnvLVh7kgaSw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lakeway Zoning and Planning Commission voted unanimously, 5-0, to recommend approval of a special-use permit for SendHound, a pet grooming business, to operate at 900 Ranch Road 620 S, Building A Suite 100.

Staff presented the item as a routine special-use permit request for a C-1 zoned property in the 620 overlay district; the business is a grooming operation (not boarding) and is proposed to operate daytime hours. Eric Carr provided the staff report and explained that a special-use permit is required because of the property’s proximity to residential areas under city code.

Applicants Kevin and Andrea Stearns were present. The applicants and staff described the business as a grooming and wellness service (memberships, grooming, baths, nails, ear care and similar services) rather than overnight boarding; the applicants said their service would be staffed (no self-serve dog-wash for customers). The unit is an end unit in a business park; the parties discussed parking and potential future expansion into an adjacent vacant unit.

Commissioners heard no public opposition during the meeting. A motion to approve the special-use permit with a 20-year term carried by voice vote, 5-0. The commission’s recommendation will go to City Council for final action as required by code.","The Lakeway Zoning and Planning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend a special-use permit for SendHound pet grooming at 900 Ranch Road 620 S, allowing the grooming business (not boarding) to operate at the site; commissioners set a 20-year duration in the recommendation to council.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6506864,"Zoning panel recommends approval of Lakeway Heights PUD amendment to condominium regime over neighborhood objections",1912,1901000,3813000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5545706-b17f86607d47251fe07f765f861adc79&start=1901&end=3813","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5545706-b17f86607d47251fe07f765f861adc79/thumbnail_1901000.jpg","/articles/6506864/Lakeway/Travis-County/Texas/Zoning-panel-recommends-approval-of-Lakeway-Heights-PUD-amendment-to-condominium-regime-over-neighborhood-objections","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6506864-7194ff4f4377d8d4b0fd84ba293b4064/orig.mp4?Expires=1771028532&Signature=EQVnAQqWzbSrW6B8R4eaD-o4~bzp6Yds4XfJ9Do6U3w2ADt9xPU8YtGZKf8RgPDyaTMMnx81iS96quhjz3UZx8f-oWleR6enO-13vDb4qxDySIkFfyki8IhvK~eBOwkBzVVcmGAofvexg9YZaey9F9u4zg6HYQx69oD5-bqGUktezosraxWZVWIGgkw7VSWqE-VEu46QB-p0AowLpR7Q8e0UBO59jku4SPEPR6seqPMxuDcmln9yXLA7xWcTiFUk9YEEB45H5nRHF~CQNdjGRQRgs2Os~-WgJaoN1cYfAZOc9f~kC1Jym6zebTfOqTBuHzSPgpaJ0zzB2XtGMIUUww__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lakeway Zoning and Planning Commission on Wednesday voted 3-2 to recommend that City Council approve an amendment to the Lakeway Heights Planned Unit Development (PUD) to convert the project to a condominium regime rather than subdivided single-family lots.

City staff described the amendment as a change in legal ownership regime — from individual sale lots to a condominium regime — while keeping the previously approved PUD schematic and unit count. Aaron Carr presented the staff report and said the street in the development would remain a private but publicly accessible three-street (private, non-gated) and that in-lieu-of-parkland fees totaling $382,500 would be provided.

Developer Bruce Rainey, who told commissioners he owns the property, said the change is primarily a financing and ownership decision and that the physical layout and number of detached homes would remain consistent with the approved PUD. The property is roughly 13.366 acres and borders the Lakeway Elementary site and the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) and Austin’s ETJ.

Commissioners and several citizens discussed long-term implications. Commissioner Vance and other commissioners expressed concern about investor ownership and short-term rentals. Commissioners asked whether condominium status would affect short-term rental rules; staff said the short-term-rental permit language in the city code is based on zoning and that the PUD’s base zoning is R3, which keeps the city’s thousand-foot rule for vacation/short-term rental permits in play. Staff also explained that state law and regime differences affect subdivision plat requirements: a condominium regime over five acres may not trigger the same platting requirement as creating many individual lots.

Residents raised traffic and neighborhood impacts and urged caution. Rebecca Ellis, 114 Kohlmeier, opposed the change and said the current proposal “has gone off the rails” from the original presentation, arguing the development backs up to Lake Travis Elementary’s playground and raising concerns about short-term rentals adjacent to a school. John Miller and John Wicks also spoke in opposition, citing deed restrictions, setbacks and potential traffic impacts.

Commissioners discussed protections: the base zoning in the PUD remains R3, which staff said will continue to control setbacks and the built-environment; the condominium regime is primarily a legal/financing construct. Commissioners asked whether the developer could add PUD language to limit short-term rentals or rental percentages; staff said some controls could be added in PUD language but that state law dictates certain condominium/regime treatments. The developer confirmed the fee-in-lieu amount and that the sidewalks and streets would be consistent with the PUD’s earlier approval.

A motion to approve the applicant’s requested amendment to the PUD carried 3-2. The commission’s recommendation goes to the Lakeway City Council for final action.","The Zoning and Planning Commission recommended approval of an amendment to the Lakeway Heights Planned Unit Development that would convert the project to a condominium regime and keep the same schematic and unit count; the motion passed 3-2 after debate over investor rentals, short-term rentals, platting and infrastructure.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6506869,"Lakeway zoning panel finds no view-blocking issue for 225 Corinthian, approves rebuild height",1468,430000,1898000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5545706-b17f86607d47251fe07f765f861adc79&start=430&end=1898","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5545706-b17f86607d47251fe07f765f861adc79/thumbnail_430000.jpg","/articles/6506869/Lakeway/Travis-County/Texas/Lakeway-zoning-panel-finds-no-view-blocking-issue-for-225-Corinthian-approves-rebuild-height","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6506869-e8a0c5c84dffa57c588f84b208167d56/orig.mp4?Expires=1771028532&Signature=Jg3kbB8bKjExXkvlwZaamfsyYTOkdeKdcXFNeB6~iH8I9FVt~ns~jVXAq9Wf~Q0viJVnbD6TWSugQKMYmf8HcUq6MS-oZwHGfjZRQS2WA6DHTIkvSb8MeTXz3bhjG8hraMtzWNRt4YAlywL9Ww0SU5dDjkfkjiOe2mO5D0xFw7GJ0a1iKJ55M4Gaj1~FlL-Hk7GwlGjqRUt-E25QT8-UzFgE4xrcoNWoUWnPAyKCptOEpgoIGiCrTP-sbauePJDGSYRW7FP1KQqYi1WdbuqQ0aPb4UdIfeMinuK0uUMLOl7iq24W10lQzJrhIpW9vS8wtGqX0H2ENxuPgnMyuDKr~Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lakeway Zoning and Planning Commission on Wednesday determined that “view blocking” is not an issue for a proposed home at 225 Corinthian and permitted the applicant to build to the height requested, approving the determination by a 5-0 vote.

The commission heard a staff report from Aaron Carr and testimony from the applicant’s architect before taking public comment. Neighbors said the rebuilt house — proposed after the prior home burned down — could block long-standing views from nearby homes, while the architect said the new roofline would be only about 2 feet 8 inches higher than the earlier structure.

The property owner is seeking to rebuild after a fire; staff described the item as a view-blocking determination for a new home to replace an earlier house that had burned. The applicant asked to build to a point 20 feet above the highest natural grade, and staff said the new house would be set slightly closer to the lake than the previous structure. Aaron Carr told the commission the panel’s role was to decide whether view blocking is an issue for the property.

Neighbors who spoke said the erected ridge pole used to represent the proposed peak looked higher than the roughly 2 feet 8 inches the architect estimated. Linda Nesmith, who lives at 220 Corinthian, submitted photos and email correspondence questioning the accuracy of the ridge pole and said the pole “is completely above the burned out portion of the magnolia tree” and that it appears higher than residents were told. Tyler West, 218 Corinthian, said the proposed house would impact multiple rooms and decks at his home and opposed the construction as presented.

Two neighbors spoke in favor of allowing the rebuild. Ashley Bridal, 231 Corinthian, said she attended the fire and supports the owners’ efforts to rebuild; she called the tree coverage “a mute issue” and said the lot’s steepness limits sight lines.

The applicant’s architect (identified in the meeting as Jean) told commissioners that, based on an estimate without original drawings, the new roof ridge would be about 2 feet 8 inches higher than the old structure and that the owner preferred to keep the main slab elevation where the original slab was located. The architect also said the house was being moved back on the lot about 20 feet, which she said should be beneficial to the site from a perspective view.

Commissioners toured or viewed the site prior to the vote, and several said photos can be misleading depending on angle. Commissioner Hall said a site visit showed significant elevation change between lake level and the houses above and believed the magnolia tree obstructs more than any house likely would. Commissioner Hogg and others raised concerns about whether the ridge pole was accurately placed and how much of the pole represented the new structure’s highest point.

Commissioner LeBlanc moved that \"view blocking is not an issue and that the applicant is permitted to build to the height requested.\" The motion carried on a voice vote with five ayes and no nays.

The commission’s determination allows the applicant to proceed to the next steps of permitting; commissioners noted that if the commission had found a view-blocking issue the house could have been limited to the average height of the houses on either side, determined by survey.","The Zoning and Planning Commission determined that view blocking is not an issue for a proposed home at 225 Corinthian and approved the applicant’s requested height after debate over an erected ridge pole and public concerns; vote was 5-0.","actionData","errors"]
