ORDER N0.29272
POLICY
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND FLOODPLAIN
ADMINISTRATOR
Came to be heard this the 25~' day of July 2005, with a motion made by Commissioner
Letz, seconded by Commissioner Nicholson. The Court unanimously approved by vote
of 3-0-0 allowing the Environmental Health Department and Floodplain Administrator to
deny permits when there is a violation of Kerr County Subdivision Rules and
Regulations.
These Orders would apply to Kerr County Subdivision Ruses and Regulations violations
since December 11, 2000. (This is the date of the major re-write of the rules)
The intent of the court orders is to find illegal subdivisions not to deny development.
Therefore, as soon as a determination is made that the permit request is in an illegal
subdivision and after the parties receive written notice of this violation and after the
parties acknowledge the situation in writing and advise of a plan to correct the violation;
then the permit should be issued.

The Commissioner's Court previously past iwo court orders directing the Environmental Health
Department Manager and Floodplain Administrator to deny permits when there is a violation of
Kerr County Subdivision Rules and Regulations. These departments have asked for clarification
of this order and the scope of the intended enforcement.
My recommendation would be that these orders would only apply to Kerr County Subdivision
Rules and Regulations violations since December 11, 2000. This is the date of the major re-write
of our rules.
The intent of the court order's are to find illegal subdivisions not deny development. Therefore, as
soon as the a determination is made that the permit request is in an illegal subdivision and after
the parties receive written notice of this violation and after the parties acknowledge the situation
in writing and advise of a plan to correct the violation; then the permit should be issued.
