Business Profile<br />
Coyote Moon Coffee LLC 79 Eastview Drive, Ste. 102<br />
868-2557 • www.coyotemooncoffee.com<br />
Georgetown After about six<br />
months in business as a coffee<br />
roaster and wholesaler operating<br />
from a minimalist manufacturing<br />
space, Cynthia Garcia is ready<br />
to open a coffee and espresso bar<br />
at the H-E-B at Hwy. 29 and IH<br />
35 in May. From her first service<br />
location, she will serve freshbrewed<br />
coffee and sell 1-pound<br />
bags of beans she roasts herself.<br />
At Coyote Moon Coffee LLC,<br />
Garcia roasts beans from all over<br />
the world. The process, she said, is<br />
80 percent science and 20 percent<br />
artistic flare.<br />
“I am the only roaster, and<br />
even as the business grows, I<br />
intend to be the only roaster so it<br />
has the same profile,” she said.<br />
To ensure each bean achieves<br />
the ideal temperature and color<br />
for Coyote Moon coffees, Garcia<br />
Transportation Report<br />
Central Austin In April, city<br />
staff recommended that Rio<br />
Grande and Nueces streets be<br />
designated as the Downtown<br />
Bicycle Boulevard, with trafficcalming<br />
measures to be implemented<br />
only on Rio Grande.<br />
A bicycle boulevard is a street<br />
where all types of vehicles are<br />
allowed, but the road is modified<br />
to enhance bicycle safety and<br />
convenience. The draft recommendation,<br />
following months of<br />
stakeholders meetings, is pending<br />
approval from city boards,<br />
commissions and council members.<br />
A study on the economic<br />
impact of the boulevard was due<br />
May 11, and City Council is set to<br />
consider the plan June 10.<br />
If approved, construction of the<br />
$670,000 project would begin in<br />
the fall or winter, starting with<br />

Rio Grande elements, including<br />
back-in angle parking, a new<br />
traffic signal, speed cushions and<br />
traffic circles. Nueces recommendations<br />
from Third to Seventh<br />
streets would be part of the ongoing<br />
Great Streets project, and<br />
features from Seventh to MLK<br />
Jr. Boulevard would be installed<br />
along with a major waterline project<br />
set for spring 2012.<br />
Staff also recommend that a<br />
bicycle and pedestrian bridge be<br />
built to connect Rio Grande to<br />
the Lance Armstrong Bikeway/<br />
Shoal Creek Trail at Fourth<br />
Street. Staff are also exploring<br />
the feasibility of a two-way<br />
bicycle facility on Rio Grande<br />
to continue the Downtown<br />
Bicycle Boulevard through West<br />
Campus.<br />

Inside Information<br />
Cathedral of Junk<br />
threatened with code<br />
violations and zoning<br />
Southwest Austin The Cathedral<br />
of Junk, a backyard structure<br />
created as a spiritual retreat,<br />
typifies the Keep Austin Weird<br />
culture so much so the City of<br />
Austin featured it on a postcard.<br />
But the structure the city once<br />
touted as an example of Austin’s<br />
unique “weirdness” is now being<br />
threatened by the city for code<br />
compliance and zoning.<br />
Responding to an anonymous<br />
complaint, the City of Austin<br />
issued cathedral owner and creator<br />
Vince Hannemann a citation<br />
for not having a building permit<br />
and certificate of occupancy.<br />
Hannemann immediately<br />

Pflugerville A local information<br />
management company founded<br />
and headed by a Pflugerville<br />
native is a business on the move.<br />
Live Oak 360 CEO Andy<br />
Meadows noticed late last year<br />
half his staff was working remotely,<br />
so he declared a 90-day trial in<br />
which all employees would work<br />
away from the company office<br />
canceled all events and worked<br />
to take care of the permit.<br />
However, during a trip to the<br />
city’s permitting department<br />
April 9, Hannemann was told<br />
that he would now also need a<br />
zoning variance since the structure<br />
is an entertainment venue.<br />

on Burnet Road in north Austin<br />
from October to December.<br />
The trial has never ended. The<br />
office provides a place to take<br />
clients and to have a monthly<br />
meeting. Otherwise, employees<br />
are free to work from homes or<br />
cars or their favorite coffee shops.<br />
Meadows can often be found<br />
at Star Co. Coffee & Café in<br />
downtown Round Rock when not<br />
at meetings.<br />
The CEO, who began his love<br />
affair with computers at age 12<br />
when his parents bought him<br />
his first Mac Plus, started Live<br />
Oak 360 out of the bedroom of<br />
his home in February 2002. The<br />
technology bubble had burst and<br />
he was laid off from Metadot, an<br />
open-source portal and content<br />
management software company.<br />
