DATE: September 21, 1999 SUBJECT: Policy for Obstructions in Kerr County Right of Way Rehabilitation of County maintained roads often involves obstructions such as fences, utility lines, buildings, wells, etc. in the right of way. Through the years the Road & Bridge department has approached these issues in different ways. At this time we would like for the Court to consider establishing a policy or some guidelines to deal with these issues. We ask that you consider the following: 1. Road and Bridge will pay a surveyor to do the following: A. Survey and set points to identify the right of way and points on the ground. B. Prepare a plat showing obstructions in right of way and the legal owners of the property. 2. Once the surveyor has identified the right of way, obstructions, and ownership the County Engineer .~ will notify the owners by certified mail to remove the impediments from the right of way within 30 (thirty) days. If the item has not been removed after 30 days or other arrangements made, the Road & Bridge department or their contractor will remove and dispose of the obstruction. (See attached sample letter) 3. Should the County require land to straighten or extend a right of way, the County might consider fencing as quid pro quo. fence policy ,... _ zlephone: 830-257-2993 4010 San Antonio Hwy.
