RE: Completion of Drainage Structures on Stablewood Springs Ranch Condominium
On August 4, 2003, I made a second inspection, in the presents of Judy Ramsey, of drainage
structures on Stablewood Springs Ranch Condominium project. They are all now complete
in accordance with the approved hydrology study prepared by Domingues and Associates,
date February 28, 2003.
Commissioner Nicholson wants to add a note on the recorded Final Plat, which gives the
Volume and Page of all the recorded easements that apply to roads and detention ponds
outside the boundary of the subdivision plat. Commissioner Nicholson requested this on
May 30, 2003, in a letter to David Jackson. To do this we need a Court Order to authorize
Domingues and Associates to make these changes and file an amended plat.
The owner has a separate Letter of Credit on file as security for the completion of the
drainage structures. I recommend the Letter of Credit No. 7037450 be released contingent
upon completion of the above-mentioned amended plat of Stablewood Springs Ranch
Condominium, as applicable.

From: "Ed and Mary Hart Frost" <frosty@ktc.com>
Sent: Sunday, August 10, 2003 7;3fl PM
Subject: Re: Release of Letter of Credi# #or Drainage Structures far Stabtewood Springs Ranch
Condominum
My name is Mary Hart Frost. My husband and I own property in Bumble Bee HiNs and I share ownership of
property with my cousins at Pleasure Hiil.
I am here this morning to ask the Court NOT to release Letter of Credit No. 7037450, for Drainage Structures
for Stabtewood Springs Ranch Condominium Subdivision, until the Court and those property owners, with
property either bordering Stabtewood property lines or in close proximity, receive a written, detailed explanation of
the County Engineefs inspection of each of the drainage structures. That detailed explanation was requested in
a letter dated August ~, 2003, to Mr. Franklin Johnston. As there have always been grave concerns about these
drainage structures (referred to as detention ponds), and our properties will forever be next to them, we must be
provided with more information concerning their inspection.
Referring to Mr. Douglas Hearne's, Hearn Engineering, Inc. overview of Domingues & Associates hydrologic
study for Stabtewood, dated March 21, 2003, and having conferred with our own engineer further, we must have
assurances that these drainage structures are of sound in#egrtty. If, for any reason, they are built improperly, or
are not large enough, or are not placed in the proper locations to accomplish the purpose for which they were
intended, they could make storm water runoff flooding of our properties worse in the future.
Kerr County Sutxiivision Rules and Regulations S.Q6A states: Drainage facilities shall be provided and
constructed in accordance with approved plans as required in these regulations. Drainage plans shall be
prepared by a registered professional engineer, experienced in hydrology analysis.
Therefore, to verify that the Drainage facilities for Stabtewood have been constructed in accordance with the
approved plan, as required in these regulations, a registered professional engineer, e=~erienced in hydrolOC1Y
ana sis should inspect and certify these drainage structures before the Court releases this Letter of Credit.
Some of our concems about the drainage structures/detention ponds are:
1. Were proper soil types used to construct these ponds?
2. Has the soil been packed properly?
3. When will vegetation be planted to help hold the soil in place?
4. Are culverts in the ponds of the proper size?
5. Are the pond dimensions correct?
6. Are the ponds placed in the proper locations to control storm water runoff onto down-hill property?
There are 11 drainage structures/detention ponds in the Stabtewood development. I would like to ask the
Court, how many other developments have come before you andlor Mr. Johnston that have had as many
drainage structures/detention ponds as Stabtewood, that were up-hill and where the ponds were in such close
proximity to existing structures or homes on others' properties? The unique topography of this development
makes it imperative that the down-hill, established property owners and this Court receive a detailed, written
explanation of the inspection of these structures.
Thank you for your attention and consideration of this serious issue that is before the Court today.
I would be happy to answer any questions you might have.
