    spanish oaks NEIGHBORHOOD PROFILE Residents of Spanish Oaks love its great location on 1,200 unspoiled acres amid the spectacular Texas Hill Country. It has a private 18-hole golf course designed by Bobby Weed and was recognized by Golf Digest as one of the top private golf clubs in Texas. Others are attracted to the exclusivity of Spanish Oaks – limited to just 462 properties within this gated community. As well as estate-size homesites that range from a half-acre to more than four acres, luxury villas, and finished custom homes that define this pampered lifestyle – and that include a dedicated concierge staff. Located 20 minutes from downtown off Hwy 71 and within the acclaimed Lake Travis Independent School District, custom homes in Spanish Oaks start at approx. $1.4 million, and undeveloped lots are typically priced from $300,000 to $1,000,000. In addition to custom estate homesites, Spanish Oaks offers pre-designed Villas and Garden Homes in four distinctive neighborhoods within the community. The property is cradled on two sides by 15,000 acres of protected nature preserves and Barton Creek. Spanish Oaks is unique in that the real estate and the club are tied together – the only way to join the club is to buy real estate here, making it a true lifestyle community with the club at its center. The neighborhood features a separate Resident’s Lodge with a resort-style swimming pool, casual grille, sports courts and access to Spanish Oaks’ hiking trails. The Lodge sits directly above the Fish Camp, Spanish Oaks’ private three-acre fishing lake and bait shop.

Andrew Day1, Keith A. Bremer2 1Dept. of Geography and Geosciences, University of Louisville, Louisville, KY, USA 2Dept. of Geography, Texas State University-San Marcos, San Marcos, TX, USA Email: [email protected], [email protected] Received June 1st, 2013 Abstract Urban development affects the amount of potential surface runoff generated during storms by changing the amount of impervious cover across the landscape. However, the degree of surface runoff alteration depends on the type of urban development in place. New urbanist developments are designed with higher densities and encourage a diversity of land uses, while traditional neighborhood developments have a monotone land use pattern with medium-to- low densities. Two neighborhoods within the city of Austin, Texas- Mueller, a new urbanist development, and Circle C Ranch, a tra- ditional neighborhood development- were used to study the effect of development type on potential surface runoff. Using satellite imagery coupled to the HEC-HMS model nested within the Watershed Modeling System (WMS), poten- tial surface runoff was calculated for the two different neighborhoods for a 10-year 24 hour storm scenario.

    travis heights NEIGHBORHOOD PROFILE Travis Heights is a historic neighborhood in South Austin, bounded by Lady Bird Lake on the north, Interstate 35 on the east, Congress Avenue on the west and Oltorf Street on the south. These boundaries include Fairview Park, an earlier suburb associated with the same developers, running from the west side of Blunn Creek to South Congress Avenue. Part of Travis Heights was stranded east of Interstate 35; many of the same streets to be found west of the highway continue east of it. Travis Heights is in fact a collection of many smaller neighborhoods platted at various times throughout the history of Austin. Much of this development history is closely related to the history of Austin’s transportation networks. After the construction of the 1876 Congress Avenue bridge (a ferry before), the Swisher Addition was platted on both sides of South Congress Avenue as the first urban planning act in South Austin. Soon after, in the 1880s, Fairview Park was subdivided as a picturesque suburb inspired by trends in urban planning coming from northeast and midwest. Travis Heights was founded in 1912 by Newning, Swisher and General Stacy, but development did not expand rapidly until the 1920s. The city park located along Blunn Creek in Travis Heights was donated by Stacy and bears his name, Stacy Park, as does the "Big Stacy" spring-fed pool and the "Little Stacy" park and swimming pool, built as a WPA project during the Great Depression. Now, with a great mix of mansions, smaller homes, and hip apartments, Travis Heights is among the most desirable residential neighborhoods in Austin.
