The Bee Cave Bee

At the August 20th Bee Cave Planning & Zoning Commission meeting, the controversial application to build the Covert dealership on Highway 71 was postponed - not denied. Based on their failure to include the new Middle School in their traffic impact analysis their application was sent back for more work and will not come before next week's City Council meeting. Denial would have led to Council considering the application - P&Z is merely a "recommending" body. The result was welcomed by a large crowd of anti Covert local residents. No members of the Covert family were present - only their lawyer and designated experts answered questions. It also became clear the parking garage will have four stories, not three as most people expected.
