What capital projects are planned for Lake Pointe Community?
-
Wooden Boundary Fence Replacement: Replace the existing wooden boundary fences with stone screening walls, including along Resaca Blvd. and Sonoma Drive.
-
Swim Dock Replacement: Replace the current 25+ year old, floating swim dock with a larger, safer, more modern, and stationary swim dock. The current plan is for a partially covered, double-deck swim dock designed for multiple family’s simultaneous use, and includes designs meant to improve safety for swimmers, kayakers, and paddleboarders.
-
New Day Slips: Build a separate structure, distanced from the swim dock, with two day slips for loading and unloading passengers and gear onto vessels.
-
Entrance Signage: Upgrade all Lake Pointe entrances off Bee Cave Rd with modern features, including new monuments and lighting.
-
Vista Pointe Park : Enhance the park with restroom facilities, install a new playscape under-footing base, make pavilion upgrades including improved lighting and fans, and add permanent playscape benches.
-
Napa Park : Pending further discussion and arrangements with the LPHOA, enhance the park with restroom facilities.

What is the proposed timeline for these projects?
The projects will be phased over the next few years, with some beginning this summer. The swim dock replacement is scheduled to start in August 2025.

What is the current estimate of the increase in property taxes that will result?
At this time, the Board aims to keep the property tax impact below $0.05 per $100 of net appraised value of the residence. Based on current estimates and data, the Board does not expect the cost to exceed $0.07 per $100 of valuation.

Who will maintain the new restroom facilities at the parks?
Should the bond election pass, the new and ongoing costs associated with maintaining the new restrooms at both Napa and Vista Pointe Parks will be incorporated into the LPMUD’s existing annual operating budget.
______________________________________________________________________
Where will the stone screen walls be built?
Phase 1, along Bee Cave Road, is already complete. The bond aims to replace fences with stone walls primarily along Resaca Blvd and Sonoma Dr, as well as the eastern edge of the neighborhood—including areas behind homes facing Bee Cave Rd and near the office buildings by Cascade Falls and Emerald Falls Drives.

Will the current swim dock be accessible during construction of the new swim dock?
We expect the current swim dock to remain accessible to residents during most of the construction period.

Additional FAQs from the Community
______________________________________________________________________
Will the new dock include additional parking spaces closer to the lake?
The LPMUD plans to optimize the current parking lot for better efficiency and capacity. Due to the Wildlife Protection Act, a concrete lot cannot be built within the preserve. Additionally, the stairway and trail to the dock will be improved for better accessibility.
______________________________________________________________________
What experience does the MUD possess concerning projects similar to a stone wall or a new dock?
The LPMUD has secured the support of experts to aid in this process, in addition to leveraging the professional and personal expertise of the HOA and its own board members.
______________________________________________________________________
Who will assume responsibility for the upkeep of the new amenities, and how will this be financially planned?
The maintenance of the new amenities will be integrated into the LPMUD's annual operating budget.
______________________________________________________________________
Considering the MUD’s potential sovereign immunity and the HOA’s lack thereof, will the MUD consent to indemnify the HOA?
Sovereign immunity is assured, as the LPMUD will retain ownership of the new amenities.
______________________________________________________________________
Will access to the new restrooms be limited to Lake Pointe residents through a fob or a PDK app?
While the design specifications are not yet finalized, the current discussions involve keeping the bathrooms accessible during the day and secured at night.
______________________________________________________________________
Will new restrooms be constructed near the dock?
No, but changing coves will be included on the dock.
______________________________________________________________________
What will be the height of the new walls? Will they match the height of the existing fence?
While all estimates are based on an 8-foot wall, the actual height will predominantly align with that of the existing fence.
______________________________________________________________________
Does Lake Pointe maintain adequate insurance coverage for the new facilities?
Insurance considerations will also be factored into the LPMUD’s annual operating budget.
______________________________________________________________________
What was the resolution regarding the insurance funds from the accident that damaged the Resaca monument?
The LPHOA filed an insurance claim and received a payout, but it didn’t fully cover the cost of replacing all the Lake Pointe entrance monuments. The LPHOA then worked with the LPMUD Board to explore refreshing all entrances.
