(512) 36~-2426
November 17, 1989
T0: The Honorable Judge, Danny Edwards and Kerr County
Conrml:~stoners Court
FROM: Chrla Mundalil, Manager
Ingram Oaks Retirement Cornnwnlty
Dear Slrs:
I am requesting that the referenced matter he placed on the
agenda of your nex t schedu 1 ed tnee t i ng c.) E C~nun I ss 1 Deers
Court.
In August of this year I was informed by the Kerr County
Environmental Health Department that the septic system
permits Issued to the INgranr Oaks Retirement Community In
1987 will not be valid after January 1, 1990.
The development of Ingram Oaks was carefully planned with
representatives of the Upper Guaci~~lupe River Authority, the
agency in charge of the sef~tic system pernrltting program at
the t Ime our perml is were I slued. TFre dell grr and
Installation of safe pr~Ivate sewage facilities was foremost
in the planning of our development. At least three
revlslons to the lot sizing and layout Caere made during the
planning of our project. All of the revlslons were made to
minimize the potential of septic system failure. To this
date we have had no peptic system failures or nuisance
conditions resulting from septic systems.
We realize that the rules governing the installation and
malnterrance of private sewage facIlltles have recently
become more stringent throughout the State, and we are In
agreement with the Intent and environmental protection
oftered by stronger regulations.
We are asking for a refund of tt~e k~alance of our unused
~ permit fee3 for the following C'f'.F1`iOnL;:
The septic system permits were purchased In a
"good faith effort Ica ~;~~t isf.y the (:ounty Re-
qulrernents far private sewage facilities:
We were informed by the U.G.R.l~. that the ;~errnlts
would have no time Ilmlt ar explrat.lc~n date;
County Order No. 18696 cit~~tc~s thc~ "pc~r~ml is issued
prior to March 1988 must be lristalled and operated
under current Rules of Kerr County for Pr~Ivate
Sewage Facilities". If these current Standards
are to be applied to our existing permits, there
should be no reason to invalidate the permits;
The loss of revenue from tl~ls declston by the Court
would be an extreme flnanr.lal hardship on our oper-
ations;
If our permit fees are refunded, we can use the money
to design and Install alternative systems for lots
which do not meet standards for canventlanal systems.
This would help meet the County's goal of protecting
the quality of the Guadalupe RSver;
The Commissioners Court has set a pr.~ecedent for re-
funding permit fees on at least four occasions In
the past.
Please advise me when this matter can be heard before the
Court.
Sincerely,
~~~ !. ~
