Item ~'.8 Consider and discuss county maintenance of Harper
Valley Road. F~recinct # 4
Several citizens have come to the Co~_~rt to ask the
County to take the Harper Valley Road over. The Road has been
a private road and it has been deteriorating for years
because of the of the lack of f~_mds.
It is approximately 1.11 miles which is the portion that is
in Kerr County. The Court has asked Leonard Odom to put a
pencil to it with basic cost of maintenance because of the
grandfather cla~_~se and come back to the Court with figures
at a later date.

RE: Harper Valley Ranch Road
Dear Sirs,
We, Harper Valley Concerned Citizens do respectfully request
that Kerr County take over maintenance of the road that
enters into Harper Valley Ranch Estates. This road has been
under a private association for several years, without proper
maintenance. We as concerned citizens have donated money to
this private association for years without seeing any
positive repairs to our road. This road has increasingly
become worse and worse over the years.
Even though this road is only one mile long in Kerr County
and continues on for approximately 2 1/2 miles into Gillespie
County. We, the concerned citizens, living in Kerr County
respectfully request, Kerr County to maintain this small 1
mile section of road. We are willing to donate, deed, or
whatever it will take to see that this road becomes part of
Kerr County.
We have over the past years had problems with EMS vehicles,
fire vehicles and personal vehicles because of the roughness
of this road. Approximately 20 families live on this road
with only one entrance in and out. In bad weather the rain
will wash out portions of the road, making it almost
impossible for residents to go to work and school. This
makes it also almost impossible for EMS equipment to come in
case of an emergency. One incident in particular was when
the Harper EMS came on a call and had a flat tire due to the
sharp rocks on this road.
We believe that if you were to put traffic monitoring
equipment across this road you would see that we have a very
heavy traffic load on this road.
Please take into consideration the maintenance of this road
for us, the concerned citizens of Kerr County. This road in
Kerr County, being only one mile long. Seems that only one
mile cannot cause Kerr County that many problems. Please
look into this request at your earliest convenience. Below
page 2
you will find signatures of the Kerr County residents.
We request to be put on the Agenda for Commissioners Court at
your earliest convenience and look forward to hearing from
you in the near future.
Respectfully yours,
Harper Valley Ranch Estate
Conce~~ed Citizens of Kerr County
