It identifies the location and condition of housing, including whether homes meet Texas Colonia Housing Standards; ownership patterns in the colonias and household sizes and income ranges of occupants. The information gathered in this study sheds light on the housing needs of the community, helps to direct the formation of housing goals, and establishes a blueprint for future actions the County might take to provide adequate housing for those residents. 1.2 Methodology Between 2008 and 2009, an exterior/windshield survey of all residential buildings in Kerr County was conducted to determine the physical condition of each housing unit. A housing unit can be asingle-family detached house, a mobile/manufactured home, or a multifamily unit such as an apartment, condominium, or town home. The survey uses a classification system that rates the condition of each housing unit on a scale from "standard" to "dilapidated" as defined in Table 1A: Housing Condition Survey Classifications and Criteria. The windshield survey also identifies vacant and abandoned houses. Adoor-to-door survey also was completed to gain additional information on whether homes meet state Colonia Housing Standard criteria outlined in below in Table 18: Texas Colonia Housing Standards; and ascertain income as well as ownership information. Surveys were completed to attain at least a 70 percent response rate in each colonia area. A mapping database was established to mark the condition and status Kerr County 1-1 Area Planning Studies, 2009 of each colonia home; and allow for physical identification of collected information. Table 1A: Housing Condition Survey Classifications and Criteria Classification Criteria Few or no minor visible exterior defects such as: • cracked, peeling, or missing paint • cracked, sagging, rotting, or missing siding, steps, porch planks, or other wooden surfaces Standard cracked or broken window panes • cracked masonry, brick, or mortar surfaces • missing or damaged roof shingles • small rust spots on mobile homes Generally meets local building codes No detriment to health and safety present Few visible exterior defects requiring repair beyond routine maintenance such as: • missing or damaged wooden surfaces that could cause injury if walked upon or leaned against • missing window panes Deteriorating badly deteriorated window frames • major holes in exterior walls, up to one (1) foot across and/or penetrate through the interior walls • roof missing many shingles or has holes up to six (li) inches across • chimney bricks missing • extensive rusting, joint separation on mobile home exterior Rehabilitation is economically feasible Fails to provide safe shelter Several of the major defects listed under Deteriorating Any major structural damage such as: • sagging foundation Dilapidated sagging roof • slanted or tilted exterior walls • missing doors • collapsed chimney or porch • fire or severe water damage Rehabilitation is not economical) feasible In addition, a rating system was devised to determine the degree to which housing meets state Colonic Housing Standards, as approved after passage in 1996 by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. The standards address the following concerns: Kerr County 1-2 Area Planning Studies, 2009 Table 1 B: Texas Colonia Housing Standards Subject to adverse environmental conditions, including flooding, Site and Nei hborhood o en sewer hazards, and accumulation of trash Access House from a ublic roadwa and o erable doors and windows Structure free from serious defects; roof firm and weather tight; Structure and Materials manufactured home ermanentl anchored Units constructed prior to 1978; occupied by families with children Lead-Based Paint less than 7 ears of a e.

Information on whether homes meet the Texas Colonia Housing Standards was obtained when possible from visual survey and door-to-door survey. Visual survey determined whether houses met standards for Site and Neighborhood; Access; Structure and Materials; Interior Air Quality; and Security. Door-to-door survey sought to determine if homes met standards for Water Supply; Sanitary Facilities; Food Preparation and to some extent Thermal Environment. The presence of Lead-Based Paint could not be determined through door-to-door survey as its presence requires professional inspection outside the scope of this study. Where possible, the housing database contains information on whether children under the age of 7 are present in homes. However, many respondents did not answer this question. The County, then, established a rating system to determine the extent to which homes met Colonia Housing Standards. A score of 8 or above that the home may not be meeting Colonia Housing Standards and require further inspection; homeowner education; or financial assistance Kerr County 1-3 Area Planning Studies, 2009 to bring the home into compliance. The following scoring matrix was established.

Y Among the most pressing housing needs are improving and maintaining the existing housing stock and providing accessible housing and housing rehabilitation for the low-income, disabled, and elderly populations. Special emphasis should be placed on assisting homeowners who live in the areas containing a high number of deteriorated and dilapidated units. This plan identified 184 colonia housing units that are dilapidated, that is, they are beyond repair and need to be demolished. Another 284 are in deteriorating condition. Continuing rehabilitation efforts in the study areas is estimated in this plan to cost more than $16 million. Demolishing costs in that estimate were $7,500 per house, with rehabilitation/reconstruction ranging from $15,000 to $55,000, depending on the home's current condition.

Of those vacant in the three colonias combined, at least 13 were found to be abandoned in the Center Point area. The 2000 U.S. Census indicates that vacancy rates were about the same in 2000 at about 15 percent in each of the block groups where the colonias are located. The Westwood Park area has a much lower vacancy rate in 2009 than it did at 14 percent in 2000. Vacant, dilapidated and/or abandoned housing causes health and safety hazards and represents a tax liability to government entities in the form of uncollected property taxes. The County enforces Texas Health and Safety Nuisance Law through its Environmental Health department. These laws pertain mainly to water pits that may breed mosquitoes and/or sites that may harbor rats in a populous area. The County does not have ordinances pertaining to dangerous structures. Kerr County does not employ a building inspector or code enforcement officer. Owner & Renter Occupied Housing: Surveys revealed that a majority of colonia residents own their homes. About one in five households are renters in Center Point (19%) and Westwood Park (17%) while 1 in 2 are renters in Hill River Country Estates. Since the 2000 Census, the Center Point area appears to have fewer renters. Rental rates in Westwood Park and Hill River block group areas appear to be unchanged from 2000.

Housing Stock Age: The age of a community's housing stock is an indicator of its overall condition. The median age of housing units in Kerr County is 30 years, according to the 2000 Census. Center Point housing age appears to mirror the County. As shown in Table 1G, about 5 percent (28 units) of the housing in the colonia areas was built prior to 1939. Another 117 units (21 percent) were constructed between 1940 and 1979, while at least another 193 were constructed between 1980 and 2000. Home ages in Hill River Country Estates and Westwood Park were more difficult to determine either because the owner did not know an exact year, or because their home was a non-response on the survey. However, the subdivisions were platted mostly after 1980, and homes are newer on average than in Center Point.

See Table 1 H below for a breakdown by colonia.

Source: Grantworks door-to-door survey, 2009; Kerr Central Appraisal District; US Census; TCEQ Water Utility Database Manufactured housing units did not meet Colonia Housing Standards mostly for poor conditions of siding, roofs and other structural elements. About three- quarters of the manufactured homes did not meet the criteria for those three items. Another 63 percent received points against meeting Colonia Housing Standards because they did not appear to be tied down to their foundations. Also, although residents in Hill River can access their units from Center Point town area via the County's paved Skyline Road, the development's streets itself are private and unpaved. They do provide all-weather access, however, according to residents. Most of the stick-built homes met Colonia Housing Standards. The 36 homes '~. that did not are located in Center Point, and received points mainly for faulty roofs and siding. Missing screens were also an issue. Some manufactured and stick-built homes also received points for being located in the flood plain and for reporting, or the County reporting, septic system problems. In Center Point 18 manufactured homes and 31 stick-built homes are located in the flood plain. About one-third of those located in the flood plain also are in dilapidated conditions. The County had records indicating septic problems at more than 60 Center Point, 8 Westwood Park and 15 Hill River Country Estate homes. Two of those in Center Point were located in the flood plain. Manufactured Housing: The colonias studied have a much higher representation of manufactured housing stock than Kerr County as a whole and Texas. Countywide, about 20 percent of units are manufactured and statewide about 9 percent are manufactured, according to the US Census. In the 3 colonias, 54 percent (306 units) is manufactured. Most of the manufactured houses (87%) were rated as being in deteriorated or ~.. Kerr County 1-9 Area Planning Studies, 2009 dilapidated conditions, with 42% not meeting state Colonia Housing Standards versus 11 % for stick-built homes. While they are affordable, manufactured homes and RVs often depreciate in value and are likely to have a shorter lifespan than most stick-built homes. This is particularly the case with pre-1976 "mobile" homes. Modular homes represent an emerging, affordable alternative to this type of housing. Modular homes are built at factories in parts (modules), which are subsequently joined together at the home site. One of the chief differences between modular and manufactured housing is that modular homes have typical concrete foundations. They also conform to all building codes. Unlike manufactured homes, modular homes tend to increase in value over time like site-built homes. Construction costs can be slightly greater than purchased manufactured housing, but are much less than those of traditional single- family homes. Modular homes may offer residents better investment potential and more structural stability over time. This study does not necessarily endorse the construction of modular homes over other technologies, but rather encourages the County to work with builders and residents to explore the various emerging construction options available.

Average housing costs in Kerr County are 20 percent higher than for the state as a whole, though average costs in the colonia areas are lower. In addition, the colonia areas contain no multifamily housing. The colonias do contain at least a few mobile home parks, which provide a type of rental housing to lower-income residents in Hill River Country Estates and Center Point. About 20 percent of colonia residents rent their homes, according to survey information. A sample of colonia property values from the Kerr Central Appraisal District indicates that housing values in the colonia areas average $50,000 in 2009, ranging from $25,000 to $72,000. The average colonia housing price is lower than both Kerr County and the state, with it being almost 50 percent lower than the County average of about $96,000 and about 30 percent lower than the state average of about $81,000. This indicates that the colonia areas offer some affordable housing options to Kerr County residents. Lack of Utilities: While many of the homes are connected to public water services, all of which are registered as public water providers with TCEQ, some continue to rely on wells. Surveys, TCEQ and County data indicate that as many as 10 homes in Hill River and as many as 85 homes in Center Point use private wells for water services. Two issues surround well water use in the colonia areas. First, septic tanks, out of compliance due to small lot sizes in Center Point and, some septic tanks being located too close to well sites, have been cited as a contaminating groundwater source, raising concerns about the potability of well water. Second, water availability from groundwater has decreased for several decades as growth into the eastern part of the County has continued from the San Antonio region. The Headwater Ground Water Conservation District has provided data for Kerr County regional utility feasibility studies that shows that new well drilling has County 1-11 Planning Studies, 2009 continued to stress the Middle and Lower Trinity aquifers. The County is currently studying placing a Surface Water Treatment Plant on Center Point Lake to supplement existing water systems with surface water. None of the three colonic areas are connected to public sewer systems. The County is currently studying the feasibility through Texas Water Development Board Planning funds of constructing a regional wastewater system to serve all three colonias. A lack of sewer services in the colonic areas raises some key issues: 1) Health and safety of residents whose groundwater and surface water may be exposed to improperly functioning and inadequately maintained septic systems. The manager of the Headwaters Ground Water Conservation District is quoted in a recent TWDB reported entitled Center Point Regional Wastewater Collection System and Regional Water Supply Distribution as saying, "This continuing pressure for development utilizing septic tanks and individual wells is rapidly depleting the ground water resources and posing significant proliferation ,~, of septic tank seepage into streams and rivers." The County, which keeps record of septic system problems, reported septic issues in about 20 Center Point manufactured homes, 7 Westwood Park manufactured homes and about 15 Hill River homes. In one instance in Hill River, water wells of units not connected to the Hill River Water Works system are located too close than currently allowed by TCEQ to the septic tanks, creating questions about the residents' water potability. The County reported septic problems in about 40 Center Point stick-built homes and one Westwood Park stick-built home. Many other problems related to older facilities probably have not been reported. 2) Inability of the colonias to increase their density and/or home sizes, despite outside growth pressure. The presence of septic fields dictates lot and homes sizes. Land served via OSSFs cannot be subdivided smaller than one acre, while lots with water and sewer systems can be divided as small as'/4 acre, according to the County's subdivision J Kerr County 1-12 Area Planning Studies, 2009 ordinance. Westwood Park residents mentioned desires to increase the amount of housing available in their neighborhood for relatives and friends. The County is restricted on lot sizes due to OSSF regulations. Once sewer is installed, the County could study lot size provisions in the subdivision ordinance to encourage more affordable housing, including within Westwood Park, as some areas of that colonia are not subdivided. Elderly: Typically, elderly residents' incomes are fixed, and the prospects of narrowing the disparity between income and housing costs are slim. Chart 1A: Owner and Renter Occupied Housing by Age shows high home ownership among those 65 years and over. This indicates that a sizeable number of colonia home owners are on fixed incomes and may need assistance with ongoing home repairs and maintenance. Rental housing is most common for those between 25 and 44 years of age, but owner occupied housing is also very common for those between 35 and 44 years of age. The high level of home ownership by the elderly, who occupy more than one-third '\,,, (38%) of owner-occupied housing in the colonias, indicates that a sizeable portion of the housing stock may be coming on the market within the next ten years. It is unclear why home ownership is lower for the 55 to 64 years cohort than for those immediately younger and older. The disparity may be a result of how housing cycles have been affected by economic swings and by retirement and vacation home purchases.

Block Groups are larger than the coIonia areas and cover the southeastern most portions of Kerr County. Disabled: The 2000 U.S. Census indicates that 40% of the population living in the block groups that encompass the three colonia areas reported in the 2000 Census that they had some type of physical or emotional disability. This compares to about a 25 percent reported disability rate for the County as a whole. Disabled populations are often best accommodated in single story multifamily units that have the physical design to support their needs and/or the shared staff to provide assistance. The needs of disabled populations are often congruent with elderly populations. Whether in the form of single family or multifamily configurations, encouraging the construction of accessible units J Kerr County 1-14 Area Planning Studies, 2009 using universal design standards' would answer a need of Kerr County's population.

These include: Kerr County Subdivision Ordinance (Commissioners' Court Order #30630, Nov. 26, 2007) which regulates: • Platting and development of subdivisions • Variances, revisions, and cancellations • Road specifications in subdivisions • Letter of credit and maintenance bond requirements From Universal Design Education Online: "Universal design is an approach to the design of all products and environments to be as usable as possible by as many people as possible Kerr County Area Planning Studies, 2009 1-15 • Fines for violations Water Availability Requirements (Commissioners' Court Order #26915, June 26, 2006) which regulates: • Water availability in sufficient quantity and quality to supply all lots to be platted; • Number of lots on acreage with water wells and number lots in a "High Density Development Area" including Center Point and Westwood Park; Manufactured Home Rental Communities (Commissioners' Court Order #26749) which regulates: • The installation of street and drainage facilities that meet minimum County infrastructure standards; • The installation of water and wastewater supplies that meet Subchapter C., Chapter 341, Texas Health and Safety Code and as defined by current rules and regulations of the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission 30 TAC Chapter 290 Kerr County Flood Damage Prevention Order (Commissioners' Court Order 21176; November 13, 1992) which regulates building and manufactured home placement in a designated special flood hazard area, including properly anchoring structures in floodplains; use of materials that are flood resistant; placement of septic systems to avoid impairment during flooding; placement of mechanical equipment to prevent flooding of them; and lowest flood elevation elevated to or above the base flood elevation. The County does not issue Building Permits, nor inspect new construction. regardless of age, ability, or situation" (http://www.udeducation.org/) Kerr County 1-16 Area Planning Studies, 2009 The County has advertised its intent to comply with federal Fair Housing regulations. It has not officially adopted a Fair Housing Ordinance in recent years. 1.6 Prioritized Problems The above analysis highlights five concerns to be addressed in a future housing plan for the Kerr County. 1. County inability to enforce removal of dangerous/dilapidated/vacant housing structures. 2. Lack of affordable multifamily housing 3. Aging housing stock in need of repair for roofing, siding, foundations, windows or screens and installation of sewer systems. 4. Lack of education/awareness on Colonia Housing Standards in relation to smoke detectors and lead paint where children under the age of 7 are living. 5. Abundance of manufactured housing that may need maintenance and F- ~``"` rental assistance during the planning period. 6. Almost 40 percent of owned homes are occupied by seniors, some on fixed incomes. 7. Higher rental percentages by young families than older residents, indicating populations with young families may not be able to afford homes. 8. Higher than average disability rates among residents living within and around colonia areas, indicating a need for more homes retrofitted to accommodate disabilities. In general, housing needs may be addressed in three forms: • Through applying for and ascertaining grants from the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs HOME program, the Rural Development housing programs of the US Department of Agriculture; and community development funds offered through the Kerr County 1-17 Area Planning Studies, 2009 Texas Office of Rural Community Affairs. Although the HOME and USDA programs can be applied for by individuals, special monies are available to local government entities for larger-scale single and multi- family housing rehabilitation and construction plans. Rural areas are considered, in particular. • Through seeking low or no-interest loans, first-time homebuyer down payment and closing cost assistance, and assistance to teachers and law enforcement officials from the entities above and the US Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Texas Veterans Land Board and the Veterans Administration. • Through the formation of anon-profit community housing development organization (CHDO) that can take advantage of housing development funds aimed at preserving and maintaining the existing affordable housing stock in Texas, particularly for low-income and elderly residents. These funds are managed through the Texas Housing Trust Fund and owner-occupied rehabilitation CHDO set-asides. A few organizations in the county provide low-income housing assistance to the area. They are detailed below. 1.7 Local Capacity Public Sector &Non-profits: There are no non-profit community development corporations (CDCs) operating in Kerr County. However, there are a number of regional and county-wide agencies working in Kerr County that can assist on issues regarding housing, economic development, financing and legal support. These include • Local Community Action Agencies • Local Area Agencies on Aging • Local Councils of Governments • Local Legal Aid Services • Local Housing Finances Corporations Kerr County 1-18 Area Planning Studies, 2009 ~„r Habitat for Humanity: The Kerr County Habitat for Humanity has worked with Kerrville on building a number of homes for low-income family using Kerrville's §46 Sales Tax income. A Restore in Kerrville provides funding for housing projects. The organization received donated land and funding to build a 48-unit housing subdivision in Kerrville, which will absorb most of its resources through about 2015. Steve Hamilton, Executive Director, said that the organization has expressed interest in acquiring lots and building new homes in the Center Point area in the future, after sewer services are available to Center Point residents. The organization can build between 4 and 8 homes per year, depending on volunteer and land availability. It does not currently refurbish homes.

USDA programs include homeownership opportunities, owner- occupied housing assistance, rental assistance, rental housing development, community development activities, business development, and technical assistance in rural areas of the state (generally considered areas with a population of less than 20,000 people). The Rural Housing Service within USDA Rural Development administers three homebuyer assistance programs in rural areas. USDA also sells low-cost homes. Kerr County 1-21 Area Planning Studies, 2009 Kerr County recently received $3.12 million in USDA Rural Development grant funds for the construction of the first of three phases of a sewer system. USDA Rural Housing has just allocated a sizable amount of money for a variety of loans and grants for which some residents of Kerr County may qualify. Texas' USDA allocations ran higher than USDA allocations to most other states in fiscal year 2008. USDA programs such as Housing Preservation Grants, Rural Housing Loans, Guaranteed Purchase and Refinance Loans, and Direct Housing Grants should be examined to see which ones may benefit Kerr County and its residents.

Working through certified nonprofit organizations, the funding enables owner-builders (individuals and families) to purchase real estate, construct a home, or renovate a home; and to solicit gifts and grants. This program is currently available through the Kerr County Habitat for Humanity .,/ program. Participants contribute 60 percent of the "self-help" labor toward building a new home or rehabilitating an existing home that is broken and worn down by poverty. In exchange for this sweat equity families contribute, which dramatically drives down the cost of construction, the Department provides azero-interest mortgage loan that families can afford. The state loan cannot exceed $45,000 per home with maximum value of the house at $90,000. This money is appropriated by the state Legislature through the Texas Housing Trust Fund. All applicable building codes are adhered to under this program. In addition, nonprofit organizations can combine these funds with other sources such as those from private lending institutions, local governments, or any other sources. However, all combined loans can not exceed $60,000 per unit. For a complete listing of programs available throughout Texas, see: http://www.tdhca.state.tx.us/overview.htm 1.8 Regulation Impacts on Affordability Often housing regulations, intended to protect property owners and the governmental entity, can have detrimental effects on housing affordability in a Kerr County 1-22 Area Planning Studies, 2009 locale. The County should be wary of the following conditions and seek to correct them if they exist to ensure that its regulations are not impeding the building of affordable housing. 1. Timely review of plats. The County may want to add "deem appropriate" provisions for subdivisions and plat approval to ensure timely review of them. Deem appropriate provisions stipulate a prescribed review completion period. If the reviewing authority fails to complete its review within the prescribed time, the project is deemed to have been approved, with the exception of development proposals whose scope or complexity require review extending beyond the statutory period. In such cases, provision could be made for allowing an extended review following notice to the developer and other interested parties. However, proper public notice should be provided prior to a deemed approval. Example of wording would be the following: In cases where the local reviewing authority fails to act on a subdivision plat or site plan within the statutory time limits set forth in the Subdivision Ordinance, the plat or plan shall be considered approved, subject to prior notice of adjacent property owners and others in accordance with state law. Local authorities would only be able to extend the review period following notice to and consent of the developer. "~' 2. Plat reviewing departments (the Kerr County Road and Bridge) should have mechanisms and staff in place to conduct reviews on a timely basis. For example, it could conduct soil evaluations for OSSF approvals if processing backlogs reaches a defined period, or assist with completing other environmental evaluations required for regional or state entities if complications arise. 3. Monitoring current and proposed regulations that may unnecessarily increase costs for developers. One example is subdivision street standards. Street standards on housing affordability tend to vary inversely with the price range of housing units; including effects of excess pavement and right of way widths; inappropriate use of super elevation on local streets; and curb and gutter applications. 2 The increase in direct costs in labor and materials attributable to excess width are compounded by secondary consequences such as the need to handle increased runoff resulting from the larger z "Regulatory Barriers to Housing Affordability, Report of the Secretary of Commerce and Trade to the Governor and General Assembly of Virginia, House Document No. 54; Richmond, Va. 1995; pg. 13; as accessed on the World Wide Web at httg://leg2.state.va.us/dls/h&sdocs.nsf/Bv+Year/HD54.1995/$file/HD54 1995.pdf in June of County 1-23 Planning Studies, 2009 impervious surfaces; a reduction in the proportion of land available for the construction of the housing units themselves, and, because of the prohibition on placing certain utilities below the paved surface, limits on certain design solutions.3 4. Study, cooperation and possible funding of regional approaches to urban storm water problems considered, in relation to erosion control, watershed protection, etc. that could ease site drainage issues. 5. Provisions required of sewage facilities and essential infrastructure should allow latest technologies to be considered, especially ones that allow for increased density. 6. The use of required easements instead of required right of ways can ease building cost burdens. 7. A lack of building codes and code enforcement personnel/training may lead to decreased property values and staff inefficiency. 8. Avoid application of new construction standards to certain areas considered necessary for Urban Revitalization (including the County's High Density Development Areas of Center Point and Westwood Park). 9. Consider the addition in the County subdivision ordinance of a clustered housing provision that would allow for on-site transferrable development density to protect wetland or historic features, and changes to lot size minimums and lot number maximums. 10. Increasing lot sizes, excessive minimum lot frontages, removing residential uses, and decreasing densities can be detrimental to affordability. 11. Imposing new development standards on areas platted under older standards can inhibit infill development by limiting the opportunity for prospective developers to obtain a reasonable rate of return on their investment. 12. Allowing density bonuses in the form of decreased minimum lot sizes and increased maximum number of lots as an incentive for the production of affordable housing could increase the amount of affordable housing allowed, particularly after sewer installation in the colonic areas could allow for more density. 13. Prohibiting manufactured housing unit placement can be detrimental to affordability. s Ibid. Kerr County 1-24 Area Planning Studies, 2009 14. Although maintaining surety for performance guarantees is advisable, '~,,., requiring exorbitant bonding levels or letters of credit can unnecessarily increase housing expenses. 15. Use of impact fees should be curtailed for designated affordable housing developments. 16. Ensure that regulatory review processes are streamlined, decreasing the need for multiple forms and permitting processes. 17. Pre-application conferences/site reviews, including on-site meetings, provide an effective means for identifying technical problems and screening out impractical or infeasible proposals prior to initiating actual applications or reviews, saving design costs. 1.9 Goals and Objectives to Meet Housing Plan As discussed above, the County's most pressing housing needs include: an aging housing stock with no code enforcement; vacant, dilapidated housing; aging homeowners on fixed incomes with decreasing abilities to maintain homes; lack of affordable multi-family housing; lack of awareness of safe housing standards; and higher than average disability rates indicating needs for accommodating housing styles. The below goals, objectives, and policies are followed by a set of action items that the County should pursue to address the existing and future housing needs of the community. Goal 1: Decrease the number of vacant, dilapidated structures annually, freeing lots for new construction. Objective 1.1: Remove two vacant dilapidated structures in the colonia areas annually. Policy 1.1.1: Between 2009 and 2011 develop and adopt a substandard structures ordinance that would give the County the ability to cite or condemn dilapidated, vacant and/or abandoned homes. In addition, discuss the establishment of a building permit system and code enforcement officer personnel addition. Such an ordinance would include providing definitions of dangerous buildings and structures; adopting the latest version of the Uniform Building Code for the abatement of dangerous buildings; providing for inspections of buildings and structures; providing for notice to record owners and persons ~..- Kerr County 1-25 Area Planning Studies, 2009 with interests in dangerous buildings; providing for hearings to determine compliance with the minimum standards of this ordinance; requiring the owner(s) and persons with interests in dangerous buildings to repair, remove or demolish such buildings; providing for repair and demolition; providing for assessment of expenses for repair and/or demolition; and providing penalties. Policv 1.1.2: During 2011 budget planning, determine if the County could demolish two structures annually at a cost of $15,000. Also, determine who would complete demolitions. Policv 1.1.3: By 2011, negotiate with solid waste contractors regarding roll offs for disposal of demolished dilapidated structure materials. Policv 1.1.4: Between 2009 and 2012, determine if the County could apply for state and federal funds for home rehabilitation in rural areas (including TCDHA HOME programs and Housing Trust Fund, and USDA funds), and provide matching funds required. Objective 1.2: Communicate vacant structure removal needs in meetings with area not-for-profits to determine their role in removing structures. Goal 2: Ensure that more homes meet state Colonia Housing Standards. Objective 2.1: By 2019, decrease by 10 percent the number of homes in the colonia areas that do not meet Colonia Housing Standards. Policv 2.1.1: By 2019, Commissioners Court complete the funding and construction of all phases of sewer installation in the colonia areas. Policy 2.1.2: By 2010, the Road and Bridge department should develop a list of resources that can assist low-income homeowners with home repairs. The Department could distribute the list through housing fairs, the County website, or mailings Policv 2.1.3: By 2011, the Road and Bridge Department should distribute information via the website, housing fairs or mailings related to proper manufactured home tie to foundations. Kerr County 1-26 Area Planning Studies, 2009 Policy 2.1.4: The County Environmental Health Department or ~,, County Commissioners should collaborate in 2009 with the Center Point ISD to collect, publish and/or distribute a series of information sheets to educate parents on the dangers of lead paint in homes; interior air quality; energy efficiency; smoke detectors; tying structures to foundations; proper operation of septic systems and funding sources to resolve problems. Policv 2.1.5 County commissioners should discuss by 2012 processes to take over private streets in colonia areas in hopes of improving resident access. Negotiations would include questions of bringing streets into compliance with County standards. Goal 3: Throughout the planning period, increase assistance available to elderly, disabled and low-income households to allow them to stay in their homes. Objective 3.1: To eliminate visual and fire hazards, adopt by 2011 a county dilapidated structures ordinance and demolish hazardous housing structures throughout the planning period (annually) Objective 3.2: Ensure that the expanding senior population can meet monthly housing expenses, including reducing water and energy use in -„~, aging homes, and retrofitting homes for handicapped accessibility where needed. Policv 3.2.1 Meet with the Community Council of South Central Texas, Inc. and the USDA Rural Housing Service by 2011 to determine ways to increase the presence of their weatherization and rehabilitation funding services in Kerr County. Policv 3.2.2 Environmental Health Department should sponsor a housing rehabilitation fair in the Center Point area by 2012 to educate residents on weatherization and water saving devices Policy 3.2.3 Convene a meeting of church and not-for-profit organization officials by 2012 to study the feasibility of starting a volunteer organization or increasing volunteer participation to upgrade plumbing in older homes and weatherize them. Objective 3.3: With the assistance of precinct commissioners, the Alamo Area HFC, Habitat for Humanity volunteers and other housing agencies, the County should develop by 2012 a database, library or reference notebook of sources to which developers can apply for affordable housing programs. Kerr County 1-27 Area Planning Studies, 2009 Objective 3.4: Submit applications throughout the planning period for state and federal funds for home rehabilitation in rural areas (including TCDHA HOME programs and Housing Trust Fund, and USDA funds). Goal 4: Institute policies during the planning period to encourage growth of housing for disadvantaged populations, including for the elderly, the disabled, single-headed households, and low-income residents. Obiective 4.1: By 2019, County should have in place policies and information to distribute to encourage the construction of housing for disadvantaged populations. Policv 4.1.1: By 2019, Commissioners Court complete the funding and construction of all phases of sewer installation in the colonia areas. Policv 4.1.2: By 2013, representatives of the Commissioners Court, County Attorney, and Environmental Health Department should determine changes that can be made to the Subdivision Ordinance that will accommodate affordable housing on smaller lots once sewer is installed. Policv 4.1.3: With the assistance of precinct commissioners, the Alamo Area HFC, Habitat for Humanity volunteers and other housing agencies, the County should develop by 2012 a database, library or reference notebook of sources to which developers can apply for affordable housing programs. '.r~" Obiective 4.2: By 2015, alter subdivision regulations that could deter the construction of additional affordable housing, particularly in the designated High Density Development Areas of Center Point and Westwood Park (Comfort area). Policv 4.2.1: By 2010, Road and Bridge Department work with the County Attorney to add "deem appropriate" language to the subdivision ordinance to ensure timely review of plats and/or develop a survey on the plat process for developers to fill out when they complete a platting process. Policy 4.2.2: By 2011, slightly alter Section 6.01, Concept Plan, of the Kerr County Subdivision Ordinance, to include at least one meeting on the proposed property to be platted with precinct commissioner, subdivision review staff, and developer/designer in attendance. Policv 4.2.2: By 2011, review subdivision streets standards with a committee of commissioners, developers and road and bridge personnel to determine whether changes could be made to pavement width, right-of-way requirements, minimum lot J Kerr County 1-28 Area Planning Studies, 2009 frontages, and curb and gutter applications to ease subdivision construction costs.
