Concerns over two-story homes dominated the recent Lago Vista Board of Adjustment meeting, as residents voiced their frustrations regarding potential developments in their neighborhood. One homeowner expressed discontent after purchasing a single-story spec house, believing that all future constructions would adhere to the same standard.
The resident highlighted the irony of their situation, noting that the developer, LTX, had assured them that no two-story homes would be built nearby. "We bought that particular house on the fact that everything was going to be single story," they stated, emphasizing their expectation for privacy and consistency in the neighborhood's architectural style.
Tensions rose as the homeowner raised concerns about a proposed two-story house that could overlook their property, potentially compromising their backyard privacy. They mentioned investing $17,000 in a private fence to enhance their outdoor space, underscoring the emotional and financial stakes involved.
The discussion reflects broader community anxieties about maintaining the character of Lago Vista as development pressures increase. As the Board of Adjustment continues to deliberate on housing regulations, residents are keenly watching for decisions that will shape the future of their neighborhood.
