1. Should area between Cardinal Hill Road and the subdivision be part of subdivision?
This area contains a large portion of the road and the only ingress/egress to the 17
units. We have never allowed a subdivision to be accessed through an easement
across property not in a subdivision.
2. The area containing Lots 45 to 49 of Bumble Bee Hill, Section I should be excluded
from the subdivision or be abandoned and replatted into Stablewood Springs Ranch.
3. I have not seen the drainage reports or tests on road base.
4. Is access by way of Maybee Drive West considered as access to Stablewood Springs
Ranch? Will Maybee Drive be constructed to Local Road Specifications?
5. All Units are physically separated except Unit 11 & 12. Is there significance to this?
6. Flood Plain is shown on one side of creek but not on other?

Kerr County Commissioners' Court
Kerr County, Texas
Re: Stablewood Springs Ranch Subdivision Proposed Preliminary Plat
My name is Mary Hart Frost. My husband and I are owners of a home on lots 27 and 28 in the
Bumble Bee Hills Subdivision, along Bumble Bee Creek. I also share ownership of property with my
cousins at Pleasure Hill, which is a family development established in the 1920's. Both of these
properties abut the proposed Stablewood Springs Ranch Subdivision and have been, and will be further,
adversely affected by the proposed development.
Our Pleasure Hill property has already suffered from runoff flooding in homes located there, due to
the removal of a substantial amount of cedar and underbrush during the road building and home site
preparation phase of the proposed development. A home located on lot 40 in the Bumble Bee Hills
Subdivision also suffered runoff flooding damage in October 2000. Our property wilt suffer significant
additional runoff flooding damage during the continuing construction of roads and home sites. The
clearing and site development work, already done, has damaged the natural drainage gully by the county
maintained, Pleasure Hill Road, that for years has carried the rain runoff to the Guadalupe River under
State Hwy 39. This natural drainage gully has been eroded by the increased rain runoff due to the bare
caliche left by the road and site development and the bulldozing and burning of cedar and underbrush.
Today, I am speaking to concerns for myself and numerous cousins and neighbors, who own
property at Pleasure Hill and in Bumble Bee Hills. We made a statement to the Commissioners' Court
one year ago, opposing the approval of the proposed preliminary plat for the Stablewood Springs Ranch
Subdivision. We are pleased to see that the preliminary plat, approved by Commissioners' Court on
February 11, 2002, has been withdrawn.
Today, you are considering approval of a new proposed preliminary plat for the Stablewood Springs
Ranch Subdivision. This proposed preliminary plat shows a lower density, 17 home sites instead of 28
home sites in the February 11, 2002 preliminary plat. Also, the acreage of the development has been
reduced from approximately 187 acres to` 1 acres, with the lake and four decorative ponds being
removed from the new proposed plat. We are ased to see that the density has been downsized. This
is a positive step toward responsible development. ~ ~ r~!
However, the concerns we spoke to the court about on February 11, 2002, are the same for the
proposed preliminary plat being presented today for your approval: Drainage; Pollution of Bumble Bee
Creek and the Guadalupe River; Erosion of the Bumble Bee Creek creekbed and it's riparian lands;
Water Availability and Septic Systems.
As the court is aware, Stablewood Springs Ranch Subdivision must provide a professional and
comprehensive hydrology study of the runoff impact of this development on our down hill properties at
Pleasure Hill and the Bumble Bee Hills Subdivision. The development must also meet all Kerr County's
Water Availability Requirements. This is imperative, as the existing CCN holder, Bumble Bee Hills Water
System, currently provides water to our homes.
We thank the court for their prior rulings and request that the court continue to keep our concerns in
the forefront. Any future proposed development, that does not address these concerns, would be
irresponsible development and therefore, simply not acceptable. Thank you for your attention to these
important issues, with regard to consideration and action toward the approval of this, or any future
proposed preliminary plat, submitted by Stablewood Springs Ranch.
