Discussion and possible action to itemize and set subdivision fees for plat development reviews that require the installation of private on-site sewage facilities (OSSF) and private water wells to meet the subdivision requirements of Chapter 232 of the Texas Local Government Code and Chapter 16 of the Texas Water Code.
 
Issue: Increased residential subdivision development in the rural areas of Webb County has resulted in an enhanced review process for plats that require the installation of multiple private OSSF facilities and individual waters wells for compliance with platting requirements.  The water well review process will require greater coordination between the Webb County Engineering and Planning Departments.  The adoption of subdivision plat fees is authorized pursuant to Sec. 232.0021 of the Texas Local Government Code. 
 
Solution: The adoption of modified subdivision plat fees will allow the Engineering and Planning Department’s to have access to the proper tools and equipment to streamline the compliance review process.
 
Result: If approved, the plat review process will be more efficient and the Planning Department will be able to better serve the public.
