The Bee Cave Bee

Within 24 hours of the confirmed receipt by the County of a plat for building on the Hatchett tract on Hamilton Pool Road - a development known as Masonwood West - the City of Bee Cave unanimously passed a motion objecting to the development. Although Masonwood West is in neither the City nor its ETJ the City has objected to impacts it will have in the area - primarily on pollution of Little Barton Creek and on traffic density grounds.

Lakeway Regional Medical Center would appear to be the target of a bid from a Houston based company. Donald Sapaugh, president of University General Health System is quoted in local press as holding talks with LRMC - which has been plagued with rumors of financial instability since it opened in April of last year. We have sought comment from LRMC on the matter.
