Preserve Bull Creek and this beautiful habitat. Protect the environment! There are other areas in Travis county that can benefit from a commercial development like this, without destroying a natural habitat.

Why would the City Council approve support for a commercial development such as this one, located in a highly residential/rural setting, which includes the plans to serve alcohol and have loud, live music being played, right across the street from a children's day care center that's been there for many years, located right next to a beautiful creek (Bull) that the public enjoys with its hiking trails & fishing, on an already way, way over-crowded and many times traffic-jammed packed Old Spicewood Springs Road, where emergency vehicles would have a very difficult/impossible time reaching (in the event of traffic jams and/or the low-water level bridges being closed on Old Spicewood Road during flash flooding), which would include on-site septic storage tanks (since there are no City of Austin wastewater services available to support this large of a property) and said septic storage tanks then run the risk of leaking totally untreated wastewater into the above mentioned beautiful Bull Creek? Why would our City Council approve such a bad idea??? Lets encourage them not to. There is only ONE *possible* winner in this...the developer that purchased the land. But what if the hotel does not survive financially (because hotel patrons will likely only stay there one time, given the headaches with location and the bad traffic issues and all in that area), then we'll have a foreclosed upon eye-sore sitting there, further destroying this beautiful land and property. Why would the City Council EVER consider approving something like this???? The answer is THEY SHOULD NOT

The low water crossing and the road itself need to be preserved not developed.

Enough with the money grubbing interests turning everything unique about Austin into commonplace "Applebee's" society. Get a grip, city leaders. Care as much about this town as the people who live here do. Stop the carpet bagging.

One of the last places that someone needs to put a hotel. They are ruining what they came here to enjoy.

Please don't destroy this lovely natural area in Austin by putting a hotel in. This is a lovely place for wildlife. Please respect the beautiful places, the natural places in Austin.

Tired of seeing my hometown go the way of the Dallifornian. More impervious cover is exactly what the Bull Creek Watershed needs right.....? A very fragile and still beautiful area does not need any more variation

Bull Creek park, deer, foxes, great blue herons, owls and even golden eagles will surely mean the death of much of the local wildlife and more severe flooding which has already taken many human lives, if this hotel and its lots are built

Leave the property alone. Open space only. Do something right.
