Commissioners approve preliminary replat to create Lot 4 in Chaparral Hill; developer to pay utilities
Summary
The court authorized posting and public notice for a proposed replat of Chaparral Hill Subdivision that renames remainder lots and establishes Lot 4; the developer, Gustavo Flores, said he will install water and sewer taps, allowing residential or commercial uses, and the item will return within 30 days.
Val Verde County Commissioners reviewed a preliminary replat proposal for Chaparral Hill Subdivision and authorized county staff to post notices and return the petition to the court for final action.
Engineer-owner Gustavo Flores presented the application to modify Lots A and B, rename remaining parcels and create a new Lot 4, explaining that he will install water and sewer taps so the lots could be used for residential or commercial development. "At this point, he is going to put in water and sewer taps," the engineer said, prompting discussion about utility responsibilities.
Commissioners pressed for clarity that the developer will provide utilities, mailboxes and street improvements as required and that the submission is still preliminary. County staff confirmed the item will be posted on the county website, public notices will be distributed, and the matter will return to the court within 30 days for final action. Commissioners recorded a vote of 4 yes, 0 no, 1 abstention on the preliminary step to post and circulate the replat for public comment.
Commissioners emphasized transparency and asked for documentation of utility commitments when the application returns, and staff said the final plat will include any required infrastructure conditions before final approval.
