Uvalde County Commissioners on the record approved the Frio River Estate subdivision plat after changes were made to meet wastewater-size standards and assurances were given about water service. Commissioner Copeland told the court the plat was returning because some lots previously failed to meet Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) minimum-size requirements for wastewater; the applicants consolidated lots to comply.

Commissioner Copeland said the submitted plat inadvertently omitted street names and moved to approve the plat as submitted subject to adding the names. A representative for the applicants, identified in the meeting as Mr. Gopnik, told the court that lots along the longest street will be a minimum of one-half acre and that the applicants had secured water service from Kanipa Water Supply. The court approved the motion; Doug Rasson seconded the motion and the chair announced "Motion carries."

Why it matters: subdivision plats set the legal framework for lot lines, street names and utility responsibility; meeting TCEQ wastewater sizing standards and securing a water provider are common prerequisites before a plat can be recorded.

What was decided: the court approved the Frio River Estate subdivision plat subject to adding the street names (the applicants confirmed the names would be added before recording). The applicants named three streets during the discussion as Penny (Penny Lane), Nickel and Dime (the transcript contains a later, inconsistent reference to "Dodd" for one short street; that inconsistency remains in the record and must be corrected on the filed plat).

What to watch next: the applicants must add the omitted street names to the recorded plat and the county will file the original with the county clerk after signatures. If any remaining technical requirements from TCEQ or the water provider arise, the court may revisit the plat.
