For the purpose of this letter, it is recounted that the State
did approve Minute Order No. 76184 on August 29, 1979, to dev-
elop a spur highway approximately 1.2 miles in length extending
from the approximate intersection of State Highway 27 and the
Schulze-Post Road to the entrance into the Airport near the
northward extension of Airport Runway No. 02-20. It was esti-
mated that the cost of this project would be approximately
$402,000.
Additionally, it was envisioned that the City/County would
extend the roadway improvements from the northern part of the
Airport property along a routing within the Airport property
to the junction with existing roadway in the vicinity of the
Gibson-Dugosh leases, with the engineering done by the State
at the expense of City/County. Further, the eastern-most end
of the overall loop roadway was to be accomplished with the
Airport Master Plan development of the main runway extension
(Runway No. 12-30) to make a tie to State Highway 27.
Due to the fact that the City/County officials could not obtain
some of the right-of-way for the planned State portion of Spur
535, it comes now to the attention of the City/County that it
would be in their best interest, and we think the best interest

of the State, to have the State approve a similar spur highway
on the eastern side of the Airport, starting from State High-
way 27 at a point somewhat east of Johnson Road, which is the
entrance road into Shady Grove Subdivision, and extending into
the Airport property and connecting with the recently-improved
portions of the loop highway in the vicinity of the new Air-
port apron.
In order to properly evaluate this request, we offer the fol-
lowing significant points for consideration;
1. The estimated length of the new or Eastern Spur herein
proposed is approximately 5,700 feet, or 1.08 miles.
2. The City/County owns all the right-of-way for this eastern
location. It would not be necessary to acquire any addi-
tional right-of-way.
3. This new location would include two small drainage struc-
tures.
4. The proposed new spur would serve approximately 32 resi~
dences in the Shady Grove Subdivision, which is located
outside the City limits but within Kerr County, as well as
the Airport Transient Center now being developed on the
eastern side of the Airport.
5. There would be easy access to Airport-owned land for dis-
position of excess spoil from roadway construction.
6. City/County would be willing to pay for engineering costs
associated with this proposed "flip-flop° of the Spur 535
location.
7. It is planned by the local entities to eventually complete
the "loop" around the Airport from east to west if this
request is approved by the State,
Therefore, it is respectfully requested by the City of Kerr-
ville and the County of Kerr that the State take the necessary
actions to approve the above request, Your cooperation is
sincerely appreciated.
