    Administrator

    Austin Oaks is a 31‐acre office park located at the southwest corner of Spicewood Springs Road and Mopac. Redevelopment as a Planned Unit Development, PUD, was proposed in 2015.

    During the week of January 24‐29, 2016, the owner of the Austin Oaks site and the neighborhood stakeholders surrounding the site participated in a design charrette in a collaborative effort to create a consensus‐based design for the site. The charrette was announced in a November 29, 2015 post on this website.

    Representatives of the North Shoal Creek Neighborhood Association Development Committee participated in that charrette. The Committee’s report to the Board can be read at this link:  CHARRETTE UPDATE

    The letter of no confidence referred to in that report is posted at this link: LetterofNoConfidence

    Appendix A to that summary is at:  Appendix A

    A summary of the charrette plus day-by-day summaries and design plans can be viewed at:  NWACA Summary

    new:  The NSCNA Board of Diorectors approved a resolution opposing the results of the charrette.  That resolution can be viewed at: BoardResolution (revised March 16, 2016).
