I guess everyone has seen the Zoning change notice. I was hoping that Stratus and HEB would entertain a Town Hall type meeting to discuss their plans and needs !? I guess I was wrong. Looks like they plan to go ahead with their big box without our input or comments.

Anyway, you should forward you comments to the City Council, right away. They are going to consider the latest Lowe's proposal on Thursday :

43. Consider settlement of Lowe's Home Centers, Inc. v. City of Austin, Cause No. GN300629, in the 98th Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas (concerning development of the Lowe's tract, approximately 31 acres in the Barton Springs Zone located at the Northwest corner of Brodie Lane and Allegro Lugar, in the Barton Springs Zone). (Related Item 49)(Mayor Pro Tem Jackie Goodman and Council Member Brewster McCracken)



... this is NOT a public hearing, so you need to send you comments by phone or email (too late for a letter). It's easy to do:

Brewster McCracken, 974-2256
Jackie Goodman, 974-2255


or you can send on email to the whole council (no return email address required) This is the web site, just cut and paste it into your browser:
