City staffers say northbound RR 620 site needed in area

Lakeway city council approved a special-use permit Sept. 15 for a Circle K convenience store and gas station at 1303 N. RR 620 at Debba Drive in Lakeway.

The 4,400-square-foot store is part of a larger corner tract and is proposed to have access from both Debba Drive and RR 620, Deputy City Manager Chessie Zimmerman said.

"We feel like this [store] fits great in the area because there's a huge need for it," said Walt McMennamy, Circle K director of real estate.

He said the store will be designed in a style similar to the newer developments in the area.

"I'm very glad to see this project come to fruition," Lakeway Planning and Zoning Commissioner Don Kotrady said. "Going north on [RR] 620, there is no other gas station until you get to Steiner Ranch."

The project will likely have a right-turn-in, right-turn-out driveway on RR 620, Zimmerman said.
