RE: Change policy for approval of plats in ETJ
As discussed in Judge Denson's letter of February 11, 1997, "the city being the more appropriate entity to
do physical inspection and supervision of developments in the ETJ. In particular, private roads in the ETJ
must meet only the standards of the city and not the county."
This being the case, it does not seem appropriate that the county engineer sign these plats stating it is in
compliance with the county subdivision rules and regulations. Thisrs technically not correct. It should
be the city planning and zoning commission (or city council in smaller cities) andlor the city engineer sign
these plats stating they are in compliance with the city rural subdivision ordinances.
After they are approved and signed-off by the city, the commissioners court could approve the plat for
filing by the county clerk.
This would simplify the approval process since it would not have overlapping regulations which do not
mesh completely.

Franklyn J ston, P. .

Re: Approval of Plats in ETJ
Dear Franklin:
It is my recollection that the Commissioners' Court previously established a policy
to follow the City of Kerrville lead in approving plats.
Actually, this was discussed last year in context of the city establishing a minimum
5 acre rule and requesting we do the same. During the course of several meetings we
discussed the city being the more appropriate entity to do physical inspections and
supervision of developments in the ETJ. In particular, private roads in the ETJ must meet
only the standards of the city and not the county. You have told us on occasion that the
city road standards are more stringent and exceed ours therefore, it is only logical to do it
this way.
I would appreciate you correcting me if anything stated herein is inaccurate. Full
and consistent disclosure and application of our rules and policies serve everyone best.
Very truly yours,
U J
