A change by the Travis County Commissioners Court could lead to 150 new condominiums in the Lakehurst area.

During its April 1 meeting, the court will consider requests to change the platting, or the government's official map, of the Lakehurst subdivision.

The owner of several whole and partial lots in the Lakehurst subdivision has asked the court to cancel these lots in the original subdivision map in order to build single-family residences.

"The cancellation of these lots only needs to be acted upon by the Commissioners Court and not the city of Lakeway because when the subdivision was recorded [in 1941], it was not in the city's jurisdiction," according to county documents.

If the court approves the requests, the affected area reverts back to a 65.56-acre tract of land that would not need to be subdivided, the documents state.

The new development would be called The Summit at Lake Travis Condominiums.

"The condominium project will require a variance to the subdivision requirements since the developer has chosen not to divide the property with lots and streets," the documents state.

The subdivision would be accessed from the primary entrance on Lakehurst Drive or its secondary entrance on Crosswind Drive.

The site plan proposes 24 percent impervious cover, or covered ground where water cannot be absorbed into the soil. The maximum in the area is 30 percent impervious cover.

County staff recommends the project because it meets all Transportation and Natural Resources Department criteria.
