Council approves temporary special‑use permit to host Lake Travis Fire & Rescue facility behind police department
Summary
Lake Travis Fire & Rescue will be allowed to place a portable building at 1941 Lowman's Crossing Road for up to three years while Fire Station 602 is demolished and rebuilt; staff anticipated an 18‑month construction period.
Director Carr presented a special‑use permit request from Lake Travis Fire and Rescue to place a temporary building at 1941 Lowman's Crossing Road behind the Lakeway Police Department to house equipment while Fire Station 602 is demolished and rebuilt. "They're anticipating 18 months for construction, but we want to give them a little bit of a leeway there in case they have an issue," Carr said, and ZAPCO had unanimously recommended approval for a three‑year duration.
Council discussed site orientation and access for fire apparatus; staff explained the portable building would be behind a gate and not visible to the public, and the council approved the SUP as presented. The permit is intended to keep first‑responder resources nearby during construction and avoid degrading response times.
