Marine Land Marina on Lake LBJ in Kingsland is seeking to expand its footprint before opening, according to a permit application filed with the Lower Colorado River Authority.
RSW Property Development LLC recently purchased the facility at 13915 RR 1431, previously Hill Country Marine Rental, and hopes to further develop the site by adding 23 wet mooring slips and three courtesy slips as well as replace the existing boat launch ramp and marine service station.
If the LCRA approves the permit, the marina’s water surface area would increase by about 7,227 square feet to a total 11,824 square feet on Lake LBJ.
The LCRA has determined that the application is administratively complete, meaning all required information has been submitted, and is now conducting a technical review to assess whether the proposal meets the standards set forth in its Highland Lakes Marina Ordinance. The review process could take up to 45 business days and be extended if additional information is required.
If the application passes the technical review, the LCRA will issue a Notice of Draft Permit and invite public comments. Property owners within 500 feet of the marina site will receive direct notification of the draft permit. The public will have the opportunity to submit written comments identifying specific standards in the ordinance that the proposed facility may or may not meet.
