Friends of The Preserve

The Lake Pointe MUD continuously seeks contributions and suggestions from residents on a volunteer basis for the following efforts:
 

1. Management and maintenance of the trails throughout the Preserve including litter pickup and light trail clearing

2. Suggestions for the development of enhancement projects for the Preserve

3. Suggestions for the development of rules for the use of the Preserve

If you are interested in volunteering please provide your contact information by emailing preserve@lakepointemud.org. Residents wishing to volunteer efforts towards maintaining and performing light trail maintenance work must have a board member present and sign a waiver before performing any duties.

The Gate to Access the Preserve Has Been Upgraded
Lake Pointe MUD has upgraded the gate located near Vista Pointe Park that is used to access the preserve and Lake Austin. The gate is now under 24-hour video surveillance. This new video surveillance will help Lake Pointe MUD identify potential violators instead of having to close the gate to everyone.
All current card keys should work to open the gate. If your card key did not work in the past, please check again to see if it works now. If your card key still does not work, please contact First Service Residential at 512-266-6771.
If you are a new Lake Pointe resident and do not have a card key yet, you can also contact Spectrum to get a new key.
 
Kayak/Paddle Board Storage Locker
The district owns and maintains a kayak/paddle board storage rack at the bottom of the Preserve access road, located near the stairs to the dock. The district is currently revising the lottery process/system and of assigning storage spaces to residents and will communicate updates, once able. 
 

Information For Lake Pointe Properties Adjacent to the Preserve

1) Rights & Responsibilities: Residents may maintain up to a 10-foot strip into the preserve along their property boundary for firebreak protection/brush management with approval (see 3 below for approval process). It is the homeowner's responsibility, as a steward of the Preserve, to maintain it as such and report detrimental activities to its natural resources to the Lake Pointe MUD by emailing info@lakepointemud.org with questions, concerns or observations about the maintenance of property boundaries adjacent to the Preserve.

2) Firebreak Program: The Lake Pointe MUD contracts annually with the Travis County ESD6 along with a private contractor to address sections of the Preserve regarding the maintenance of fire break zones.

3) Approval to Clear Fire Breaks: Lake Pointe MUD maintains the firebreak "boundary" of properties along the Preserve on an annual basis. Residents may elect to maintain the Fire Break Zone on their own. The Fire Break Zone is up to a 10-foot strip into the Preserve along their property as measured directly off property boundary lines for firebreak protection/brush management as stated in item 1 above. Permission to perform this work as a property owner must be requested through the management company via email: tumco1@tumco.net and then approved at a monthly MUD meeting (see Lake Pointe MUD home page for meeting schedule).
 

4) Violations: If violations within the Preserve areas adjacent to your home are reported (clearing without permission, removal of trees, dumping debris, etc.) and determined to be of an intentional nature, you will be subject to fines."
