Summary
Developers presented a plat for —Pura Vida Estates— on FM 1366 proposing four family homesteads and 23 half-acre lots; commissioners and staff explained that a tax certificate must be obtained and the plat filed with the county clerk before it is effective.
Developers presented a subdivision plat for property on FM 1366 called Pura Vida Estates and described plans to divide the tract into four family homesteads with 23 half-acre residential lots for future home construction.
Commissioner questioning focused on utilities and readiness for development. The applicant told the court an existing power line runs adjacent to the parcel and that public water service is available at the front of the property, with a meter already in place. "We're gonna break it up into 4 family homestead and then divide it and then the 4 phone in front... they have 23 small half acre tracks," the applicant said, describing the intended lot pattern and that buyers could choose wells or public water.
The court and staff discussed tax and filing prerequisites. The applicant said taxes on the parcel had been paid following a recent closing, but the clerk explained the plat is not approved until the tax certificate is issued and the filed plat is recorded in the county clerk's office. The clerk instructed the applicant to obtain the tax certificate and return to file the plat with the clerk for final acceptance.
No formal vote to approve the plat was recorded in the transcript; the exchange focused on clarifying utilities, confirming payment of taxes, and explaining the procedural requirement to secure a tax certificate and complete the county filing.
