The Recats Development
The project planned for 1518 Barton Springs Rd includes the area east of Eats Cafe to Jessie St.on Barton Springs Rd. It goes back to Toomey Road. This is a 6.55-acre tract of privately owned land that is in the Town Lake Park Master Plan--in the Pecan Gardens section.
Currently Michael's Antiques and a mobile home park occupy the site. The zoning, "CS" Commercial Services and a small part of "CS-I" (which allows alcohol to be served), permits development of even greater density than the Recats International plans call for.
We need to hear the Recats presentation in order to:
1. Know what the plans are.

3. To consider the possibility of pressuring the City Council to buy the land to circumvent development. there will be

Phase 2: Building III - 6-story office
Phase 3: Building IV - 8-story office The plan is to develop Phase 1 within the next 3 years, and the remaining phases at three year intervals. There are 271 trees on the lot now and the current plans will keep 128. Fifty-two trees protected under the tree ordinance would be saved, another 47 "protected"trees would be removed.
