The Honorable Robert A. Denson
Ken County Judge
Kerr County Courthouse
Kerrville, Texas 78028
Dear Judge Denson and Members of the Court:
UGRA and HUWCD have significant interest in any revision to the Kerr County
Subdivision Platting Order and would like to participate in that process.
Our immediate interest centers around platting notes, more specifically the opportunity for
HUWCD's water well licensing and regulation program and the inclusion of the
appropriate platting notes and signature line. Also included in the immediate interest
group is the floodplain management review and the appropriate platting notes.
UGRA has been inundated with high-end building requests in West Kerr County. Most of
these requests are in subdivisions where floodplain and basic floor elevations range from
sketchy to non-existent.
We would ask the Court's consideration for immediate authorization to include the above
platting notes on all subdivision plats filed from the date of the Court's action forward.
We are attaching sample copies of the plat notes for your consideration.

Subject: Proposed Subdivision Plat Notes for HUWCD and Floodplain Management
Below for your review are proposed Standard Subdivision Plat Notes to address concerns
of the Headwaters Underground Water Conservation District and Floodplain
Management. Staff requests that these Notes be included on all new Subdivision Plats for
Kerr County.
HUWCD
"Authorization to drill, replace, alter, equip, or transfer ownership of a water
well, public or private, must be obtained from the Headwaters Underground
Water Conservation District prior to drilling a water well and producing water
~ therefrom."
FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT
The existing Plat Notes for Floodplain Management as listed on page 23 of the Kerr
County Subdivision "Rules and Regulations", January, 1984, are as follows:
"I hereby certify that the subdivision platted hereon is or is not within the 100-
year floodplain." (dated and signed by Engineer/Surveyor)
However, I have noticed additional Notes on recent Subdivision Plats, such as
Saddlewood Estates, Section One:
"The approximate location of Zone "A", 100-year flood hazard area as
indicated on the flood insurance rate map community 480419, panel number
0175 B, are as indicated on the plat by the dotted line."

Therefore, should the Subdivision lie partially or entirely in the 100-year Floodplain, staff
suggests the following in addition to the existing Standard Plat Notes:
"The location of Zone "A", 100-year flood hazard area as indicated on the
Flood Insurance Rate Map, Community 480419, Panel Number XXX, are as
indicated on the plat by the dotted line."
"Minimum finished floor elevation for all affected structures shall be equal to
the elevation of the 100-year floodplain as shown hereon: X~~' M.S.L.
(Minimum Finished Floor Elevation will be shown inside a box with the
designation of `M.S.L.' mean sea level.)"
"Kerr County Development Permit is required prior to any site development
within the 100-year Floodplain."
These suggestions do not replace the Standards for Subdivision Proposals found in Article
5, Section C of the Kerr County Flood Damage Prevention Order, November 13, 1992.

RE: Subdivision Platting Process
Resubmission of Suggestions
Dear Judge Denson and Members of the Court
On March 19,1997, copy attached, we suggested to the Court that HUWCD and Kerr
County Flood Prevention Order be considered for subdivision platting process review.
Attached to that request was a UGRA internal memorandum dated March 24,1997, with
some suggested plat notes. The March 24~' memorandum omitted the HUWCD review
signature for that part of the process.
We are attaching a second internal memorandum that more correctly reflects what we
believe to be the appropriate format for the platting notes.
We also suggest a conference with the appropriate county officials to discuss any concerns
you may have and subsequently place the item on the Court's agenda for public
presentation and action.
If you have additional concerns, please contact me.

FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT
DAY OF , (YR)
The existing Plat Notes for Floodplain Management as listed on page 23 of the Ken
County Subdivision "Rules and Regulations", January, 1984, are as follows (suggested
addition underlined):
"I hereby certify that the subdivision platted hereon is or is not within the i 00-

480419. Panel Number XX~~. (dated and signed by Engineer/Surveyor)
However, I have noticed additional Notes on recent Subdivision Plats, such as

Therefore, staff suggests the following Standard Plat Notes and sign-offs to address
Floodplain Management in the two scenarios below:
Scenario I: Subdivision Located Outside 140-yr Floodplain
"I hereby certify that the subdivision platted hereon is not within the 100-year
floodplain as shown on the Federal Insurance Rate Map, Community 480419,
Panel Number XXX." (dated and signed by Engineer/Surveyor)
DATED THIS DAY OF , (YR)

Scenario II: Subdivision Located Partially or Entirely Within 100-yr Floodplain
"I hereby certify that the subdivision platted hereon is within the 100-year
floodplain as shown on the Federal Insurance Rate Map, Community 480419,
Panel Number XX~~." (dated and signed by Engineer/Surveyor)
DATED THIS DAY OF , (YR)
J. T. Brown, Floodplain Administrator, U.G.R.A."
"The location of Zone "A", 100-year flood hazard area as indicated on the
Flood Insurance Rate Map, Community 480419, Panel Number XXX, are as
indicated on the plat by the dotted line."
"Minimum finished floor elevation for all affected structures shall be equal to
the elevation of the 100-year floodplain as shown hereon: XxX' M.S.L.
(Minimum Finished Floor Elevation will be shown inside a box with the
designation of `M.S.L.' mean sea level.)"
`err County Development Permit is required prior to any site development
within the 100-year Floodplain."
These suggestions do not replace the Standards for Subdivision Proposals found in Article
5, Section C of the Ken County Flood Damage Prevention Order, November 13, 1992.
