TO: COMMISSIONERS COURT
FROM: Leonazd Odom
DATE: September 20, 2005
RE: Clazification of Kerr County Subdivision Rules
In the last month there have been several inquiries from developers about minimum lot sizes if
there is community water.
The following Kerr County Subdivision Rules are ambiguous. 5.01 D says 5 acre minimum, and
5.01.E 1 acre.
S.O1.D. Acreage Requirement to Meet Water Availability Requirements:
The total number of lots permitted in any subdivision shall not exceed the total acreage in
_~ the subdivision divided by five (5) acres unless surface water is the primary source of
water for the public or community water system of the subdivision. Water Availability
Requirements and this paragraph are not applicable for any subdivision with five (S) lots
or less.
S.O1.E Lot Size: The minimum lot size is as follows subject to Section
S.O1.D. above; the current Order for Rules of Kerr County, Texas for On-site Sewage
Facilities, if applicable; 7NRCC Rules and Regulations, if applicable; and Rules and
Regulations of HGCD, if applicable:
1. Five (5) acres for lots where an individual water well is planned to
be the source ofpotable water.
2. One (1) acre for lots served by community or public water systems
and served by OSSF if such OSSF can be installed in compliance
with the current Order for Rules of Kerr County, Texas for On-site
Sewage Facilities.
3. No acreage limitation for dots to be served by a community or
public water system and a community sewage collection system.
Since Kert County has no surface water, and no Water Availability Requirements, we ask the
Court to clarify this with an order until new subdivision nzles are adopted.
