I'm also representing the president of Bick Hollow Association and Hudson Bend Colony. We are concerned about the rapid growth occurring near Lake Travis and its impact on the environment, the water quality and the quality of life the residents have enjoyed for many years. The size of the Lakewind subdivision warranted our complete attention and scrutiny. We have met with Dwyer-Sanders Company on several occasions and they have made a sincere effort to provide us with complete information on their proposal. They have shown a genuine understanding about our concerns about building height, water quality and run-off, traffic control and several other specific items of importance. We appreciate their efforts and willingness to work with us. While we question the appropriateness of the intense development near the lake their plan is within the development guidelines required by the City for their zoning and PRA approval. Dwyer-Sanders has pledged to meet most of our concerns and incorporate those changes in the plan and therefore if it is the Council's desire to approve the request, we will not oppose it. We have a letter we would like to attach to the plan that states the agreement between us." Mayor Cooksey asked, "Do you want to make the site plan a condition of the approval of this zoning?" Marie Gaines, OLDS, stated, "The site plan is already tied to the zoning. They're requesting that this agreement be part of the site plan." Mayor Cooksey, "That should be given to the City Clerk and incorporated in the record". (Andrew Martin, Assistant City Attorney intercepted the letter for his records.)

CONTINUED TO JUNE 27, 1985 AT 4:30 Ρ.Μ. Marie Gaines reviewed. David Hutton, representing the owner, said the main issue is the proposed alignment of Old Lampasas Trail. It has been adopted as an arterial roadway through a Northwest Plan amendment. The proposed alignment will severely impact the adjacent property owner, therefore the applicant has proposed an alternative alignment. Ron Habittsrider, representing the adjacent property owner, said the adjacent tract will be severely impacted by the proposed alignment of Old Lamapasas Trail and he therefore recommends the alignment proposed by the applicant. Mr. Talkington, the adjacent property owner, explained how the alignment of the road will go directly in front of his house and over a lake. Councilmember Shipman said this area is very flood prone. Discussion of the road ensued and a plan showing a "T" in the road was discussed, which Councilmember Humphrey felt would be more appropriate. Mr. Hutton stated for the record, "We are perfectly happy to Council Memo 26 6/13/85 "T" the road into Pickfair. The City staff said we should go through the Talkington property." Councilmember Shipman said since the area is flood prone there should be lower density. She said there were still many questions concerning the proposed development and the area and did not want to vote on it tonight. Sue Sprouse, who lives on Tallyrand, said she is concerned that their road will become a major thorofare.
