About River Crossing

The existence and further success of many thriving frontier communities, especially in the Hill Country,is directly the result of the hard-working, resourceful and sturdy settlers who arrived on Texas soil fromGermany in the mid-1800s. It is not surprising to discover that long before Southerland Propertiesdeveloped River Crossing, this land was part of that very proud German immigrant heritage.

River Crossing’s history begins with Friedrich Kuebel (1824-1905) who is one of the founding Germanfamilies of Comal County. He married Rosa Schneider in 1856. They are rumored to be buried betweentwo backyards somewhere in the Spring Branch area. Friedrich gave the eventual River Crossing landto his daughter, Rosa. Rosa married Heinrich/Henry Rompel, Sr. (1869-1947). The land remained in thefamily with the Rompel’s son, Henry, Jr. and his wife, Ethelka. Ethelka passed on April 29, 1999, andHenry survived almost six months to the day, but passed on September 23, 1999. Alton and JoyceRobertson owned the property while the Rompels were still alive, but they sold the property to A.S.Gordon in 1966. Yes, the Gordon Jewelers family. Gordon Jewelers was a family-controlled companythat was started as a general store in 1905 by Meyer M. Gordon, a Lithuanian immigrant. It was theGordon family who sold the property to Southerland for its development into what we now proudly callour neighborhood, River Crossing!

River Crossing’s total size is around 1,900 acres with approximately 940 lots. There are eight differentunits, each with their own set of Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions. One of thereasons River Crossing is such an appealing and in demand community is because we have excellentCovenants which are consistently enforced.

Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions

It is incumbent upon all property owners to support and abide by the covenantsso that the value of everyone’s property is maintained to preserve the attractivequality of life in River Crossing. The POA Board is the enforcement group for thecovenants, not the ACC. Further, each board decides how it wants to handle thevarious infractions. Those decisions can include sending letters, taking legalaction, or simply talking to the resident. While issuing a fine to the property ownermight be an option, and such an alternative is available in some communities, itis not allowed in River Crossing.

In River Crossing, there are a number of DCCRs based upon the Unit in which you live.

About Extraterritorial Jurisdictions

Per Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 42. Sec. 42.001. PURPOSE OF EXTRATERRITORIALJURISDICTION. The legislature declares it the policy of the state to designate certain areas as theextraterritorial jurisdiction of municipalities to promote and protect the general health, safety, andwelfare of persons residing in and adjacent to the municipalities.Extraterritorial jurisdiction by statute is defined as “the unincorporated area that is contiguous to thecorporate boundaries of the municipality. The geographical extent of any municipality’s extraterritorialjurisdiction is contingent upon the number of inhabitants of the municipality:

● Fewer than 5,000: One-half Mile● 5,000─24,999: One Mile● 25,000─49,999: Two Miles

Other Municipality Details:● As a general rule, a municipality’s ordinances and other regulations are valid and enforceable

only within the municipality’s corporate limits● One municipality’s ETJ may not overlap another● General Law cities (Spring Branch) do not have the ability to unilaterally annex areas into their

corporate city limits from their ETJ, or to unilaterally extend their ETJ boundaries.  Bothvoluntary annexation into the city limits, or the ETJ, is possible so long as the area in questionis adjacent to the city limits/ETJ, respectively.

● Cities under Home Rule (Bulverde) have annexation abilities. In a calendar year, a municipalitymay not annex a total area greater than 10 percent of the incorporated area of the municipalityas of January 1 of that year, plus any amount of area carried over to that year. Exception to thetotal is if an area requests annexation.

Since the successful incorporation of the city of Spring Branch, River Crossing lies in two differentETJs; Bulverde and Spring Branch. Some of River Crossing remains outside of either ETJ.

The Long Range Planning Committee

The Long Range Planning Committee's (LRPC) goal is to consider improvements to the common areasof the neighborhood, providing the most number of residents possible an opportunity to meet forrecreation, sports, and relaxation, while also enhancing individual property values in River Crossing.The goal is consistent with the In Lieu of Annexation Agreement (see complete document here) with theCity of Bulverde.

The LRPC pursued a plan to provide upgrades to the River Crossing River Park, adding amphitheaterseating, canoe launch and improved access road, picnic tables and concrete pads, benches overlookingthe Guadalupe River, and a pavilion. Click here to see the entire LRPC Conceptual Plan Drawing.

More recently beginning in 2015, the LRPC initiated a plan to revitalize the POA-owned landscapingalong River Crossing Boulevard. The first phase of this project was construction of a walking path alongthe boulevard from the Highway 281 entrance to River Way. The River Crossing POA Directorsapproved the renovation of the first median inside the entry this past January and that work has beencompleted.

Wildlife Committee

This committee is integral in the development of the deermanagement overview for River Crossing. They work inconjunction with the River Crossing POA Board to develop anextensive and scientifically supported proposal each year whichinforms us about the deer population numbers compared to thecapacity of the land. This plan is developed in order to decreasethe likelihood of our herd becoming malnourished and/ordiseased and to decrease the number of deer/automobileaccidents in River Crossing. Each year, the entire process hasthe oversight of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department(TPWD) and is carried out by professional contractors licensed by the State for this type of work. Tosupport this program, all River Crossing residents are prohibited in feeding the deer.

The overriding mission that the River Crossing POA Wildlife Committee has followed from day one is tobe good stewards of the animals and of the habitat. They aim to develop River Crossing into anenvironment that supports healthy deer and to create and maintain the natural habitat while minimizingthe harmful impacts of an uncontrolled population.

History, Facts & Data

● 2007: A group of residents approached the River Crossing POA Board of Directors to request thata management program be implemented in our neighborhood out of concerns about the health ofthe deer herd and the harm in an overpopulated habitat.

● After reviewing the techniques available, the Board of Directors accepted the Trap, Transport andProcess (TTP) as the management program for River Crossing

● December 1, 2007 – Resolution banning deer feeders and the feeding of deer approved● Trap, Transport, and Transplant plan (TTT) yields less successful results than the TTP● Capture and translocation have been shown to be ineffective, costly, and often results in high

post-release mortality.● Studies have shown that approximately 25% of transplanted deer die within the first two months of

trapping/transplanting, and more than 65% of deer do not survive longer than one year.● Transplanting efforts are further complicated by the lack of suitable release sites. Most habitats

within the U.S. are already saturated with deer and cannot withstand supplemental stockingswithout risking damage to the habitats.

● Strict policies are stated and enforced by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for the Trap,Transport, and Process method (TTP): animals must be treated humanely, transportation of thedeer can only be to the identified site on the permit, daily logs are maintained and provided toTPWD, financial records are scrutinized, and many other strict accountability measures areenforced.

Maintaining an appropriate carrying capacity of deer to habitat is vital because that quality habitatprovides a nutritional foundation for deer that ensures reproductive success, herd health, and antlerproduction. Research shows that River Crossing’s habitat can only support 1 deer for every 10 to 20acres (see chart on the next page). The Wildlife Committee’s mission is not to destroy the white-tail herd,but to ensure River Crossing has a healthy population and safe environment for not only the deer, butresidents as well. If you have any questions, please contact Director Michael Biviano. Sources: TexasParks & Wildlife Department, TPWD Biologists and RC Wildlife Committee Directive

Coalition for equitable water rates

The Coalition for Equitable Water Rates, (C.E.W.R.) is a coalition of ratepayers formed specifically forthe purpose of organizing and collectively representing customers of Canyon Lake Water ServiceCompany (CLWSC) during rate filings. Canyon Lake Water Company services over 10,000 customersin their area. CEWR volunteers are among these ratepayers, and we are your neighbors, too!

Rate Stability was one of the provisions of the 2013 rate filing settlement, and this means that CLWSCwill not file a new rate application with a requested effective date prior to September 1, 2017.Essentially, this results in the CEWR Steering Committee not being actively involved in rate casenegotiations during those years. However, it absolutely doesn't mean that the Steering Committee hasgone away for this dormant period. Rest assured that Committee members remain engaged withmanagement at CLWSC, and a core body of representatives are still in place.

GPSequipment helps the rescue personnel arrive within closeproximity, but they rely upon address numbers to verify that theyare at the right house. There is a solution. The fire departmentmakes double-sided REFLECTIVE signs, which show up like abeacon in the night, saving valuable time. There is a $25 fee forthe sign, except for Link members who receive them at no cost.This fee includes delivery and installation on a small metal poleat your home.
