Serving Kerr County with a Conscience
Flood Plain
RV Park
06/13/2011 23:58
An auction sign is now posted on this proposed RV site property. The high-end RV park plan discussed on this website has apparently been abandoned. Previous city applications expired last September. Over the past year Kerr County Conscience and the Welborn family members have actively pursued preservation of their family cemetery located under the ancient oak on the property.
Unfortunately, heavy equipment has done considerable damage to the property's river banks during Richard Colvin's ownership. The neighboring Drymala quarry owner has altered flood drainage from highway 27 which will probably divert more water onto the property even during regular rains. The property itself is in the most hazardous of flood plains and becomes a floodway during periods of severe flooding.
The auction signs indicate the property can be viewed Sunday afternoon June 12 and the auction will be held June 28.

Agenda – Kerr County Conscience Meeting
Thursday, June 10, 2010
7:00 p.m.
American Legion Hall, Center Point
The public is cordially invited
and we look forward to meeting you!
THE ISSUES
Despite published announcements of slight increases, county taxes have risen substantially for some folks in the eastern part of Kerr County. Property owners have minimal time to file an appeal. We plan to talk about how to do that.
Now that the law regarding the Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) has been interpreted to avoid arbitration between the city and the county, we’ll discuss what the ETJ is and how it affects us all.
Learn the proper and legal way to handle it, when you know someone has begun a building or clearing project that involves waterway or floodplain, or on the banks of a waterway.

River bank destruction continues

A permit is required for construction in any flood plain. The owners have not applied for a permit. Kerr County Conscience informed the flood plain administrator, John Hewitt, in January. He informed the property owner by certified mail of flood plain violations. The racing, deafening noise, excavation and river bank destruction continues. Read More...
