Cedar Oaks Mobile Home Park Final Inspection Memo
Sincerelv.TO: Leonard Odom, Kerr County Subdivision Administrator
DATE: February 25, 2010
REFERENCE: CEDAR OAKS MOBILE HOME PARK
Mr. Odom,
Persuant to the conditions outlined in the attached letter from Wayne Wells, I am writing
to give notice, that we have completed the required improvements. We have previously
provided to you the required letters on water supply and waste disposal. The roads and
drainage have been completed per plans and specifications.
Once we have received final approval from the county, and have been issued a Certificate
of Compliance, we will be able to make application for electricity and phone service. At
this time, we request that Kerr County make it's Final Inspection so that we can move
forward.
Sincerely,
Ron Imel

REGARDING: Final Inspection of Construction and Letter of Recommendation on Cedar
Oaks Mobile Home Park
At your request, I performed a Final Inspection at Cedar Oaks Mobile Home Park
concerning the expansion that falls under the jurisdiction of Kerr County and is in the City
of Kerrville's E.T.J, as covered in a previous agreement between the City and County.
The inspection was performed on February 24, 2010, in the afternoon. Upon arriving at
the site, with the approved construction plans, I commenced my inspection and found the
paving and drainage to be adequate, but I did find the following items that I deemed
insufficient or questionable:
1. There is a missing culvert under the northern section of road that constitutes a new
"loop" in the site.
2. The new culvert under this section of roadway, as well as under the cul-de-sac section
of new roadway, did not have the culvert ends trimmed off flush with the slope paving.
3. No rock riprap and the associated geotextile fabric under it had been installed in the
drainage swales, where shown on the plans.
4. The cul-de-sac seemed to be small, but I did not have a tape measure with me, having
left it at home. However, I was able to turn my van around on it and I know Kerr County
has a smaller radius requirement than Gillespie County, which I am more familiar with,
5. The detention pond was a "total disaster"! Instead of one drainage swale entry, it had
two. Instead of an excavation on the "upstream" side transitioning to a berm on the
"downstream" side, it had a berm construction on all sides. The discharge pipe was a 12"
P.V.C. pipe in lieu of a 15" C.M.P. pipe as stipulated. The concrete overflow was of
"gross" misconstruction. The two foot side walls did not extend up and over the berm.
The outlet elevation was at the same level as the berm, instead of the two foot below the
berm as called for on the plans. The overflow outlet will not work as constructed.
I called the Owner's Representative, Mr. Ron Imel, and he met me at the site. I went over
the problems I had found. I informed him that I would discuss items 1, 3, 4, and 5 with
you. He was going to contact someone and get item 2 addressed after our meeting.
As we discussed over the phone, item 1 is of no consequence. The ditch continues on past
where the culvert would have gone. Therefore the drainage will work and the time of
concentration for the drainage will not be significantly impacted. Regarding item 3, Mr.
Imel and I discussed that a LOT of rye grass had been distributed prior to the recent rains
Page 1and snow. He would like to see the drainage swales stay grassed.. I concur, since my own
personal observations would indicate that the rock riprap could become a "rattlesnake
den" during the spring months. This would be highly undesirable for a location near home
sites! Regarding item 4, this could be determined by an actual field measurement, if you
desired.
Finally, regarding item 5, you are well aware of my feelings on detention in drainage
systems. The City of Austin was an early pioneer, regarding detention, in Texas. I
discussed their experience and my feelings with an Austin engineer in the past. He stated
that their increase of flooding had provoked them to only require it within the
"headwaters" of drainage features and that they were no longer requiring it "system-
wide". I still think detention is a mistake, but I can live with the newer approach.
Looking at the map, in the Kerr County Road and Bridge office, it looks like the project
site is approximately midway along Camp Meeting Creek, between its head and the
discharge into the Guadalupe River. Also, as constructed, the existing detention pond will
provide some detention. The hydraulics of the two different pipes are very similar. The
present construction will provide an "overflow", in the sense that when the water level
reaches a certain height, it will by-pass flowing into the detention pond and flow around it.
Finally, the detention pond is almost in the 100 year floodplain of Camp Meeting Creek.
With its proximity to the creek, its location along the creek, and the fact that it will
provide some detention, I would recommend that Kerr County grant a waiver for
detention or a variance from the Regulations, regarding the detention requirements. The
two entry points of the drainage swales decreases the time of concentration and thus
affects the detention requirements. In light of the above, I feel this is negligible.
Therefore, it is my recommendation that Kerr County issue a Certificate of Compliance to
the Owner of the Cedar Oaks Mobile Home Park for the new expansion.
If you have any questions or require fiuther information regarding this matter, please
contact me.

RE: Cedar Oaks Mobile Home Park
Dear Mr. Odom,
Following up on our conversation of August 5, 2009, this letter is being issued to
explain Windstream Communications' position in regards to providing telephone
facilities to the new sections of Cedar Oaks Mobile Home Park off Westway
Drive. Because Windstream sets the poles in this area for all utilities, this will also
affect the placement of power and cable television facilities.
With the economy the way it is, Windstream's position is that it cannot justify
approving the money for this project until there is a revenue flow generated by a
request for telephone service. With telephone exchanges in 16 states, available
funding needs to be allocated to those projects that will generate revenue. This
presents a problem for all parties involved in that the owner cannot lease spaces
until he receives a release from Kerr County, Kerr County cannot give the
release until the power is in place, KPUB cannot place their facilities until
Windstream sets the poles, and Windstream cannot set the poles until the owner
leases spaces to generate revenue. It is an endless circle.
In regards to the concerns of the owner's paving contractor about placing the
poles and guy after the roads are paved, we will make every effort to set up the
auger truck in unpaved areas. We will also use plates or plyboard to help
dissipate the load if we are on pavement. The weight of the auger truck will be
less than that of a truck pulling a mobile home. Poles are often set throughout the
city and county from paved surfaces with no damage to the road.
I am asking if the commissioners would consider releasing the development plan
after inspection of the owner's facilities, without the power being in place if there
is assurance from Windstream that facilities will be placed at such time as they
are required for providing service to the new development.If you have any questions, please contact me at the telephone numbers or e-mail
address listed below. Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
