The Lakeway Bee

As most of you know, there is an issue with a Facility that was permitted to be built at Lohmans and Rolling Green. Here is a letter I am sending to those that have contacted me:

Thank you for your input on this situation. First let me clear up a few misconceptions. The property in question at the corner of Lohmans and Rolling Green has been zoned for years as C-1 Commercial.

Our C-1 zoning regulates what type of business that can be put into this zoning. It has served us well for many years. What has happened with Recovery Ways was a permit was applied for through the normal channels and was passed through the system. Neither the Mayor or Council was involved in the process, it simply fit the zoning as it was written and simply did not require public hearings or other scrutiny.

I for one agree that this is not a good place for this facility and feel the process needs to be improved to keep this type of issue from happening again, especially with this proximity to a school and residential properties. We are currently looking at ways to improve the system to address these types of issues.

As far as the current Recovery Ways Center, be assured that we are reviewing all options to see what the City can do to correct or improve the current situation.

Thanks again for the input and support!

Joe Bain
Lakeway City Council

  Sure let's play hot potato now. Nobody wants to take blame for SCREW UP!
  Glad city has A Team at the helm.
  You should resign for your incompetence.
  How much is the attorney fees going to cost ?
  Get ready for increased ticket writing by LPD to buffer cost of screw up.
