Lake Pointe Boat Dock Project
Construction of the boat dock for Lake Pointe residents continued throughout August and will remain underway through September. The new day dock features durable Timbertech deck boards supported by steel beams and steel pilings drilled into the bed of Lake Austin. It will also include solar-powered lighting to aid safe navigation during dusk and overnight hours for passing boats. Once completed, the day dock will accommodate up to four boats simultaneously for embarkation and disembarkation. The dock will feature clear signage indicating that it is private (for Lake Pointe residents only) and temporary (not for long-term boat storage). Additionally, the Lake Pointe MUD is researching the feasibility of a new kayak storage amenity near the day dock.
Construction of the separate two-level swim dock continued through August, with completion still targeted for October 1st. Ongoing design refinements are being finalized for the changing room exteriors, ramp layouts, and the jump platform configuration to ensure user safety. When complete, the swim dock will feature durable Timbertech deck boards, solar-powered lighting, ceiling fans, and a partial shade structure on the second deck. On the advice of our professional permit consultant, the District will allow the City of Austin to inspect the entire dock structure before either the day dock or swim dock can be opened, necessitating that both facilities open simultaneously.
The waterfront area remains an active construction site and is strictly off-limits to all residents. For your safety, please refrain from entering or approaching the water. Access is restricted exclusively to authorized construction personnel and official inspectors.

Vista Pointe Park Improvement Project
Construction of major upgrades at Vista Pointe Park is underway, with a confirmed 90-day build-out schedule. The project includes a new restroom facility, a new covered swing set, and enhanced park amenities such as lighting, bench seating, and barbeque grills. To optimize both project and long-term costs, the Board has authorized removing the planned outdoor sink from the design and is moving forward with a storage tank that will allow the switch from potable water irrigation to raw water. Detailed designs for the restroom facility are currently being finalized.
Separately, the contract for the vehicle gate replacement and drainage project has been awarded. These improvements will be coordinated to begin concurrently. To ensure site security, the existing gate will remain fully operational until the new gate, pedestrian access, and drainage solutions are complete. For the safety of our residents and workers, the park will remain closed to the public for the duration of this construction.
Lake Pointe Wall Project
The District attorney has formally requested the conveyance of the existing fences, footer wall, and remaining monuments from the LPHOA, and attorneys are currently awaiting authorization from the LPHOA board before finalizing the details. The LPMUD Board must delay major design expenditures until these discussions conclude and conveyance is imminent. To facilitate progress, the LPMUD has proposed forming a joint committee with the LPHOA to provide high-level feedback on wall and monument design elements. A letter of intent regarding this committee has been delivered to the LPHOA, and the District is currently awaiting their feedback and execution. Updated survey work for the neighborhood wall replacement is complete, and the engineer is prepared to proceed with full design and permitting once property conveyance is underway.
Lake Pointe Pedestrian Trailhead Parking Area
The new trailhead parking area in the LP Preserve is complete and open, with clear signage and designated areas for vehicles and golf carts. The LPMUD is pleased that the parking area is being used correctly by families accessing the trails, and traffic remains orderly. The LPMUD is actively monitoring drainage and roadbase erosion and may implement additional design elements to mitigate further impact. To protect nearby roads and trails from storm damage, the District has approved a drainage project that will install a prefabricated slot drain. This installation is scheduled for the end of August, with completion expected in approximately one week, ensuring the site is ready well before the waterfront reopens.
Lake Pointe Entrances & Monuments Replacement
The district’s engineer and landscape architect have prepared concept designs for new entry monuments that comply with City of Bee Cave and Travis County sign ordinances for each of the Lake Pointe entrances.
Before moving into full design and permitting, the board has shared concepts with the LPHOA and is awaiting feedback. The necessary next step will be for the LPHOA to convey the remaining monuments at Bayton and Napa Drives and any Travis County or TXDOT rights of way agreements to the LPMUD.
Bond Application and Issuance
The Board has amended its preliminary engineering report to include the trailhead parking area and Vista Pointe Park projects, ensuring the final bond application accurately reflects all planned improvements.
The LPMUD board is currently engaged with Bond counsel to understand the best time to issue bonds and begin the process. There is no immediate rush to issue bonds, as the District can currently fund the initial steps of the projects using existing reserves and seek reimbursement at a later date.
