UPDATE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Our semi-annual general meeting of the LVPOA is planned for Monday, April 27, 2009. We'll have Board reports, our local politicians will be invited, and there will be an election of officers for the coming year.

If you like living in Lake Vista and you enjoy your life style here, you should consider Board membership. Management of the LVPOA is conducted by the Board. LVPOA has a number of very significant responsibilities, including working to enforce our building and legal restrictions, working to eliminate blighted properties, working to get our lights turned on, working on the beautification of our area, and the management of our private patrol service. Much needs to be done. Your volunteering for the Board will help everyone and it will give you the opportunity to personally contribute to the betterment of Lake Vista.

If you're willing to help, please let us know. We have an officer nominating committee in place, chaired by Susan Garcia. I encourage anyone interested in volunteering for the Board to contact Susan at smgarcia3@cox.net or phone 288-9639.

Lake Vista Zoning

Permitted land use in Lake Vista, 30% maximum lot coverage, required setbacks, fencing, and other restrictions that are part of the Lake Vista Building Restrictions, were incorporated into the City's Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance under the Lake Vista chapters of the Lake Area Zoning Ordinance on October 18, 2007.  Of particular significance to residents are Chapters 9A.2, 9A.4 and 9A.6 but park and commercial uses are included in later Chapters.  To be accurate, the pdf of the ordinance at  the following link ("Read More") is used in combination with the City Planning Commission map of Lake Vista.  Both can be found on the home page of the City Planning Commission website. (click here)

Please be reminded that in general, frontage of lots (front yards) are on the lane side. Rear yards are on the street side. Exceptions are detailed in the restrictions for certain lots with frontage on Robert E. Lee Boulevard, Marconi Drive, and Beauregard Avenue.  (See Section VI). (read more)

Do you have a dead tree on City property?

The following are two choices Lake Vista homeowners have for the removal of dead tree on City property (street trees).

The property owner can contact Park and Parkways and request for the City to remove the tree. This process is taking one to two months. The City is not grinding any stumps. The number for the Park and Parkways is 658-2176. Or you may wish to hire a Licensed Tree Company to remove the tree at the property owner's expense. The Tree Company will apply for a permit. Park and Parkways will make a site visit within two weeks and issue the permit. list of arborists
