INFORMATION FOR SITE DEVELOPMENT/SMALL PROJECT PERMITS
What is a site development/small project permit?
Before developing or redeveloping land located in the city limits or its extraterritorial jurisdiction for
nonresidential and multifamily uses, an applicant must first obtain a site development or a small project
permit. Site development and small project plans shall demonstrate compliance with the City of
Lakeway Code of Ordinances and will typically show the proposed site layout including, but not limited
to, building location, grading, parking areas, driveways and drive aisles, utilities, water quality and
detention, and landscaping. The submittal must also show that impervious cover for the development
will not exceed the maximum allowed.
Site development and small project permits will only be issued for lots that have been platted and
legally recorded or have otherwise obtained legal lot status.
What is the purpose of a site development/small project permit?
The purpose of the site development/small project permit is to:
1. Ensure compliance with adopted city development regulations and other applicable
regulations that apply to the property for which the city has enforcement responsibility.
2. Promote safe, efficient and harmonious use of land through application of city-adopted design
standards and guidelines.
3. Protect and enhance the city's environmental and aesthetic quality.
4. Ensure adequate public facilities to serve development.
5. Prevent or mitigate adverse development impacts.
6. Aid in the evaluation and coordination of land subdivision.
7. Promote public health, safety and welfare.
When is a site development/small project permit required?
A site development permit is required for any new development or any redevelopment that proposes to
add more than 2,000 square feet of impervious cover to a previously approved site. A small project
permit is required for minor construction projects that do not add more than 2,000 square feet of
additional impervious cover.
For single-family residential uses, a subdivision improvement permit is required instead of a site
development permit.
How long does the review process take?
Although staff will make every effort to review the submittal as soon as possible, assume a 4-week
review period from the date of submittal (or resubmittal). Site development and small project plans
may be administratively approved and do not need the approval of the Zoning and Planning
Commission or City Council as long as the submittal complies with the Code of Ordinances.

What submittals are required for a site development/small project permit?
The applicant should submit the following to the Building and Development Services Department,
located at 1102 Lohmans Crossing Road, Lakeway, TX 78734:
1. Site development/small project application and applicable fee.
2. Documents and plans as listed in the “Site Development/Small Project Checklist”.
The fire department and the local water/wastewater provider shall also receive copies of the submittal;
please contact each entity separately to verify their application process.
Once all review comments have been satisfactorily addressed, one (1) 24”x36” copy and a CD of pdf
files of the plan set shall be returned to the Building and Development Services Department. An onsite
preconstruction meeting shall be held before the site development/small project permit will be issued

Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Notes:
1. The contractor shall install erosion/sedimentation controls and tree/natural area protective
fencing prior to any site preparation work (clearing, grubbing or excavation). See Sheet ____
for erosion/sedimentation control details. NOTE: T posts are to be spaced 5’ apart on center.
2. The placement of erosion/sedimentation controls and tree/natural area protective fencing shall
be in accordance with the approved Erosion and Sedimentation Control/Tree Protection Plan.
No erosion controls shall be placed beyond the property lines of the site unless written
permission has been obtained from adjacent property owners.
3. The contractor is required to inspect the controls at weekly intervals and after significant rainfall
events to ensure that they are functioning properly. The person(s) responsible for maintenance
of controls shall immediately make any necessary repairs to damaged areas. Silt accumulation
at controls must be removed when the depth reaches six (6) inches.
4. Prior to final acceptance by the City, haul roads and waterway crossing constructed for
temporary contractor access must be removed, accumulated sediment removed from the
waterway and the area restored to the original grade and revegetated. All land clearing debris
shall be disposed of in approved spoil disposal sites.
5. Any dirt, mud, rocks, debris, etc., that is spilled, tracked, or otherwise deposited on any existing
paved street shall be cleaned up immediately.
6. The Code Enforcement Officer, City Engineer or designated City Inspector has the authority to
require additional erosion/sedimentation controls or tree protection before or during
construction.
7. Prior to construction all trees over roadways and construction areas may be trimmed to 13½-
feet in height.
8. All fabric for Erosion/Sedimentation Controls shall be a minimum of 6-oz per square foot.
Permanent Erosion and Sedimentation Notes:
1. All disturbed areas shall be restored to the hard surface of the street as noted below.
2. Sod or an approved erosion control matting shall be installed on all disturbed areas with a
finished grade of 4:1 to 2:1. Slopes greater than 2:1 shall be structurally stabilized unless
otherwise approved by the city engineer.
3. All disturbed areas on the entire project (such as areas that have been driven on, graded, used
for storage of anything and are not in the exact condition that existed prior to construction) shall
have a minimum of three (3) inches of topsoil placed prior to revegetation.
4. Topsoil shall be clean, friable, fertile soil with a relatively high erosion resistance, free of
objectionable materials including roots and rocks larger than one (1) inch. Topsoil shall not
contain caliche or limestone. Topsoil shall be readily able to support the growth of planting,
seeding and sodding, as accepted by the City.
5. A minimum of three (3) inches of topsoil shall be placed in all drainage channels and high
velocity erosion control matting shall be placed on the channel bottom and up the slope to an
elevation of a minimum of 6” above the 100-year flood plain.
6. Prior to the placement of sod, seed, erosion control matting or hydromulch, the contractor shall
contact the City and request an on-site inspection of the topsoil. Failure to get this
inspection/approval can cause the topsoil and vegetation to be replaced.
Page 5 of 7
7. The seeding for permanent erosion control shall be applied over areas disturbed by
construction as follows:
a. From September 15 to March 1, seeding shall be with a combination of two (2) pound
per 1000 square feet of unhulled Bermuda and ten (10) pounds per 1000 square feet of
Winter Rye with purity of 95% with 90% germination.
b. From March 2 to September 14, seeding shall be with hulled Bermuda at a rate of eight
(8) pounds per 1000 square feet with a purity of 95% with 85% germination.
8. Fertilizer shall have an analysis of 15-15-15 and shall be applied at the rate of 100 pounds per
acre.
9. Immediately upon completion of hydromulching operations, the contractor shall furnish to the
City or design engineer a copy of a written certification from the hydromulch applicator stating
the amounts of seed and fertilizer applied. The certification shall contain the name, address
and phone number of the applicator and be signed by the applicator. No Certificate of
Acceptance shall be issued without the required certification.
10. The planted area shall be irrigated or sprinkled in a manner that will not erode the topsoil, but
will sufficiently soak the soil to a depth of six inches. The irrigation shall occur at a minimum of
seven (7) day intervals during the first two months. Rainfall occurrences of ½ inch or more
shall postpone the watering schedule for one week.
11. Mulch type used shall be either cellulose fiber, applied at a rate of 2,000 pounds per acre, or
wood fiber mulch, applied at a rate of 2,500 pounds per acre.
12. Restoration shall be acceptable when the grass has grown at least 1½ inches high with 95%
coverage, provided no bare spots larger than 9 square feet exist. Grass must be deep green in
color to be acceptable; brown grass is the same as no grass.
13. When required, native grass seeding shall comply with the requirements of the City of Austin
Environmental Criteria Manual.
14. All constructed and altered drainage channels shall be stabilized and vegetated immediately
after final grading.
Tree Protection Notes:
1. All trees not located within the limits of construction and outside of disturbed areas shall be
preserved.
2. All trees and natural areas shown within the limits of construction to be preserved shall be
protected during construction with temporary fencing.
3. Protective fences shall be installed prior to the start of any site preparation work (clearing,
grubbing or grading), and shall be maintained throughout all phases of the construction project.
4. Erosion and sedimentation control barriers shall be installed or maintained in a manner which
does not result in soil build-up within tree driplines.
5. Protective fences shall surround the trees or group of trees and will be located at the outermost
limit of branches (dripline), or, for natural areas, protective fences shall follow the Limit of
Construction line, in order to prevent the following:
a. soil compaction in the root zone area resulting from vehicular traffic or storage of
equipment or materials;
b. root zone disturbance due to grade changes;
c. wounds to exposed roots, trunk or limbs by mechanical equipment;
d. other activities detrimental to trees such as chemical storage, cement truck cleaning,
and fires.
Page 6 of 7
6. Exceptions to installing fences at tree driplines may be permitted in the following cases:
a. where there is to be an approved grade change, impermeable paving surface tree well,
or other such site development, erect the fence approximately 2 to 4 feet behind the
area in question;
b. where permeable paving is to be installed within a tree’s dripline, erect the fence at the
outer limits of the permeable paving area (prior to site grading so that this area is
graded separately prior to paving installation to minimize root damage);
c. where trees are close to proposed buildings, erect the fence to allow 6 to 10 feet of work
space between fence and the building;
7. Where any of the above exceptions result in a fence being closer than 4 feet to a tree trunk,
protect the trunk with strapped-on planking to a height of 8 feet (or to the limits of lower
branching) in addition to the reduced fencing provided.
8. Trees approved for removal shall be removed in a manner which does not impact trees to be
preserved.
9. Any roots exposed by construction activity shall be pruned flush with the soil. Backfill root areas
with good quality top soil as soon as possible. If exposed root areas are not backfilled within 2
days, cover them with organic material in a manner which reduces soil temperature and
minimizes water loss due to evaporation.
10. No landscape topsoil dressing greater than 4 inches shall be permitted within the dripline of
trees. No soil is permitted on the root flare of any tree.
11. Pruning to provide clearance for structures, vehicular traffic and equipment shall take place
before damage occurs (ripping of branches, etc.).
12. All pruned limbs of oak trees shall be painted with pruning seal immediately after cutting. Any
broken limbs of oak trees shall be cut clean and painted with pruning seal immediately after
cutting.
13. Deviations from the above notes may be considered ordinance violations if there is substantial
non-compliance or if a tree sustains damage as a result.
14. Prior to construction, all trees over roadways and construction areas may be trimmed to 13½-
feet in height.
