MEMORANDUM
To: Commissioners Court
From: David Litke ,,~,.~„
Date: September 22, 1992
Subject: Utilizing two lots for septic system placement
The regulations state a septic system and house must be on a lot recognizing all
property lines, easements, and setback distances.
Many times an owner purchases two or more lots, platted or unplatted, with the
intent of utilizing both lots for improvements including placement of the
drainfield. This creates a problem with possible encroachments, altering the
original purpose of the lots, the need to plat or replat, and requests for
variances or appeals to regulations.
On the good side the owner is decreasing the density of septic systems,
increasing the area for a drainfield, and increasing overall lot area.
To overcome the negatives and enhance the positives, I would like to propose the
following options: The owner must decide to either (1) plat, (2) replat, (3)
locate house, tank, and drainfield entirely on one iot, (4) physically tie the
lots together.
If the owner choses option #4, then two lots as platted (not divided or a
fraction of) must be tied together with a structure that has a permanent
foundation (not a tied-down mobile home) across the middle property line. If this
is done, then replatting is not necessary and the middle property line is no
longer recognized. To accomplish this the owner must further provide the
following:
Request an exception under Chapter 3 of the Rules of Kerr County for
Private Sewage Facilities (Rules) providing documentation is submitted
satisfying items #1 through #4.
1. There are no deed restriction violations for the structure and its
placement.
2. There is no easement encroachment.
3. There are no other setback violations.
4. If any of the above exist, a letter from the appropriate entity will
be required showing no objections for allowing the encroachments.
This may be the electric, gas, telephone, water companies,
developer, homeowners association, property owners association,
architectural control committee, building committee, etc.

Memo
September 22, 1992

If conditions are not met in any of the above, then formal platting or replatting
is required.
The benefits of this action are:
1. This procedure can be handled as an exception under Chapter 3 of the
Rules rather than as an appeal to Commissioners Court. This will
result in significant savings especially in time for all parties.
2. Enhances the development of property.
3. Saves survey costs.
4. Saves re-numbering and re-identification of the property which in
turn affects title and loan paperwork.
5. Provides practical approach to enhance site suitability for septic
systems.
6. Enhances sale of property, especially existing small lots.
7. With the structure on the middle lot line it effectively prohibits
the selling of one lot and possibly a portion of the septic system.
