RE: Witt Road
The homeowners on Witt Road have diligently worked with the County on trying to get the roads in
Spring Creek Ranch accepted by Kerr County for maintenance.
The only piece of property where we needed right-of--way has been agreed to by the Bledsoe family,
and it is my understanding the landowners of Spring Creek Ranch have pledges so faz of $8,500.00 to
help with the reconstruction.
The Court requested the Road & Bridge department to offer options on how the road work could be
done. We have outlined below three different options.
1) Fu•st option is 2.95 miles of roadway.
'~ If you take the entire subdivision it would take three yeazs for Road & Bridge to
reconstruct in three phases at a cost of approximately $90,000 with the landowners
providing on-site material and some funding. Any additional funding would need to be
budgeted from Special Projects (License Registration Fees).
a) Witt Road to the top of the hill the first year
b) the remainder of Witt the second yeaz
c) the side roads (with the exception of Dry Creek Road) m the third year
2) Second option is 2 miles of roadway.
Take in only Witt Road. This portion could be done in two years at an approximate cost
of $60,000 using material provided by landowners, and some funding. Any additional
funding would need to be budgeted from Special Projects (License Registration Fees).
3) Third option is 0.4 mile of roadway.
Take to the top of the hill and reconstruct in one year. This would cost approximately
$25,000 using material and some funds provided by landowners. This portion will require
relocation of underground telephone cable and deer-proof fencing.

RE: Witt Road Extension
~^^
Dear Mr. Lakey,
I have discussed the matter of the paving of Witt Road with my family
and they are all in agreement that we dedicate the additional right-
of-way that will be needed to pave the road and for the county to
assume the maintenance responsibility under the following conditions:
1. The road will be built and maintained for its entire length, for
perpetuity, in such manner as to avoid damage to our fence, or
property, by water erosion;
2. The county will build a new fence to replace the portion of our
existing fence which will be removed for construction of the
road. The new fence must be built before the existing fence is
removed, and must be built to our satisfaction, and we would
retain any material salvaged from the existing fence;
3. All surveying, title and legal expense will be born by the
county, and we will be notified before any surveying or
construction crews enter our property, (call David Herchberger at
634-2052);
4. If the county agrees to all of the above then an order of the
court to that effect will be entered into the permanent records
of the court.
The following parties will execute the dedication deed, which should
be drawn to reserve all minerals to the grantors;
Sarah Ann Bledsoe Hancock Brannan; Carl T. Bledsoe, Jr. as Independent
Executor of the Estate of Carl T. Bledsoe, Sr., deceased; Margaret Ann
Haverlah; Carl Thomas Bledsoe, III; Richard Brent Bledsoe. When the
documents are ready for execution send them to me and I will circulate
them to the other grantors for execution and return them to you.

I hope that this will meet the county's needs for widening this road
and make all of our neighbors happy. If there is anything else that
you need, please call me.
Cordially yours,
Carl T. Bledsoe, Jr.
