Commissioners finalize replat order for Lot 42 after staff note resident objections

Rural development staff told Atascosa County Commissioners Court the replat of Lot 42 in San Antonio Country Estates Unit No. 2 (Precinct 2) had been approved at a prior meeting but that a required signed order had not been entered. Staff reported that subdivision restrictions had expired (noted as about 2012) and that two landowners had submitted letters opposing the split.

Brittney (rural development) summarized the opposition as rooted in residents' expectation of larger lots and a "country living" character for the subdivision; she offered to provide copies of the protest letters for the clerk's office. Commissioners asked whether a hearing had been held; staff said public comment occurred at the prior meeting and the objecting residents missed that call for public comment.

After discussion, Commissioner Bowen moved to enter the order and finalize the replat, the motion was seconded and the court approved the motion. The court instructed staff to include the protest letters in the minutes or provide copies to the county clerk as appropriate.
