RE: Split Rock Drainage Project
Attached is a letter from the Texas Department of Transportation outlining the drainage project at
State Highway 27 and Split Rock Road and a flyer draft.
This letter confirms the information we brought to the Court earlier this year, and ask that a flyer
be delivered to the residents of Sunny Acres Subdivision. We ask that this letter be added to the
Court records for future reference.
Road & Bridge will perpare the flyer using Franklin Johnston's signature block and deliver it to

Hon. W. G. Stacy

Kerrville, Texas 78028
Dear Judge Stacy:
At the request of the county, our office has studied the drainage at the
intersection of SH 27 and Split Rock Road and has prepared plans and
recorrxnendations which may partially alleviate the drainage problems
experienced by residents of Sunny Acres Subdivision.
Before construction begins, we felt it was important for your office to
realize the limitations of the design we have proposed. The design as
proposed, would handle a 10 year frequency storm. In practical terms, this
means there is a 10 percent chance that the design capacity of the system
will be exceeded in any given year. When the capacity of the system is
exceeded, water will return to its historic path, and flooding of
residencies will occur as it has in the past.
In order to provide the residents of Sunny Acres with accurate information
as to what this project will accomplish, and what the potential drawbacks
are, we are asking that the enclosed flyer, or one similar, be delivered to
all residents of Sunny Acres Subdivision.
Please feel free to contact Mike Coward at this office if you have
questions or need more information.
Sincerely,
Bill M. Tucker,
Area Engieer

Dear Resident:
At the request of Kerr County, the Texas Department of Transportation ''
(TXD(7f) has prepared plans and recommendations which may partially
alleviate drainage problems experienced by residents of Sunny Acres
Subdivision.
Before construction begins, in order to prevent unrealistic expectations,
we felt it was important for you to realize the limitations of the design
that TXDOT has proposed. The design as proposed, would handle a 10 year
frequency storm. In practical terms, this means that there is a 10% chance
^ that the design capacity of the system will be exceeded in any given year.
When the design capacity of the system is exceeded, water. will return to
its historic path, and flooding of residencies will occur as it has in the
past.
County personnel will be performing the majority of the work and TXDOT will
provide some engineering assistance.
Sincerely,
(Signatures as you deem appropriate)
