Live Oak Trails

Live Oak Trails is an affordable and environmentally-friendly multi-family apartment complex located near the "Y" in Oak Hill, just west along Hwy. 71. The project includes 58 apartment units, along with common facilities including the office/gym and water quality pond. It also includes a learning center, playground, hiking trails.

The site is located in the Barton Springs Zone (waterway setbacks) and includes a 10 foot escarpment; these and other encumbrances made site layout a unique challenge, but the design team was able to create a workable land plan that exceeded the client's original expectations for unit capacity. As part of the City of Austin entitlement process, Doucet was the lead in a complex "Planned Unit Development" (PUD) zoning case, including negotiation with city staff and neighborhood representatives, preparation of the PUD land plan, and multiple presentations at public hearings. In addition to the design/entitlements process with the local governing authority (City of Austin), Doucet successfully obtained multiple permits from state agencies (Texas Department of Transportation and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality).

Arrowhead Ranch

Dripping Springs, TX

Arrowhead Ranch is a master-planned community for approximately 360 homes on 362 acres in Dripping Springs, Hays County, Texas. The property has a large amount of frontage along Onion Creek and beautiful views over the high bluffs overlooking Creek Road and Onion Creek. Arrowhead’s plan works to preserve the hill country charm and feel by developing a community with a majority of lots that will back to greenbelt or will be greater than ½ acre in size. Wide natural buffers will surround the property south and east side of the development and with natural hiking trails that traverse the development. This project will be a mixed development with three pad sites along the 290 frontage, totaling about 10 acres of commercial development. This project has also dedicated approximately 13 acres as parkland to the City. Doucet has been responsible for all infrastructure planning and design. Doucet is utilizing swales and vegetative strips instead of traditional storm sewers that will have financial and aesthetic implications to the project.

Sunridge Condominiums

Sunridge Condominiums is a 65-unit multi-family project in Southeast Austin. It is currently in the schematic design/design development phase. Doucet staff have worked with the developer on several iterations of the layout; the site has several challenges including an existing creek/drainage easement, hazardous pipeline easements, and significant topography. Our staff identified these issues early and prepared the schematic design accordingly, achieving the maximum possible density while working within the practical limits of permitting and construction. The developer is looking at multiple condominium product types for the project, including single-family detached, duplex, and townhomes. A cell tower has been incorporated, as well as a community center and pool area. The existing creek will be enhanced as an amenity, with rain gardens along the perimeter and a pedestrian walkway connecting the two parts of the community.
