History
1985 - Subdivision Regulations Put Into Place
March 11, 1985
Commissioners Court MeetingÂ
Subdivision regulations approved which were in place when Rustic Oaks was accepted.
1986 - Rustic Oaks Plat Acceptance
April 28, 1986
"The Court next considered approval of the final plat of Rustic Oaks Subdivision in Precinct 3. The County Engineer recommended approval of the plat, but noted the following conditions.
Low plasticity of base material and ditches and low CBR values.
Pavement will be subject to localized failures (pot holes) and washboarding.
Ditches will be subject to erosion. The County Engineer recommended:
a. The County reserve the right to maintain the roads as gravel;
b. Establish vegetation on the ditches as soon as possible;
c. That the developer provide a maintenance bond of Ten Thousand dollars ($10,000.00); and
d. That the two year maintenance period of the roads commence today.
On motion by Commissioner Beard, seconded by Commissioner Wilcox, the Court accepted the Engineer’s recommendations and voted unanimously to approve the plat.”
1988 - Rustic Oaks Road Acceptance, Private Section of Greenleaf surveyed
May 31, 1988
"Having met all the Subdivision Regulations and on motion by Commissioner Beard, seconded by Commissioner Wilcox, the Court voted unanimously to accept for maintenance the roads in the Rustic Oaks Subdivision."
August 1988
Survey of private portion of Greenleaf Lane completed by Kling Engineering. Survey is referenced in warranty deed for first property sold on Greenleaf (Document 439379)
1989 - Second Road Acceptance, Drainage Acceptance, First County Road Lists (Greenleaf 1069 feet)
April 1989
County Road list shows 1.1 miles of roads in Rustic Oaks.
When compared with Rustic Oaks Plat measurements, this reflects 1069 feet on Greenleaf Ln. which includes the culvert crossing.
This list shows Rustic Oaks as "Not Accepted - In Maintenance." This is interesting since the roads were accepted in 1988 but based on the second acceptance in May of 1989 maybe the roads were not really not up to standard yet at this point.
May, 8 1989
"On motion by Commissioner Turner, seconded by Commissioner Wilcox, the Court voted unanimously to accept for maintenance the road and drainage improvements in the Rustic Oaks Subdivision"

November 16, 2018 - Survey and Sign Move
The County hired Strong Surveying to locate the edge of the subdivision to resolve questions on how much of Greenleaf was County Road. Based on the survey findings, the County maintenance sign was moved back to its original location at the edge of the subdivision (1069 feet). The County Engineer informed the residents via email that the County was responsible for Greenleaf up to this point and would again take responsibility for the culvert crossing.
December 11, 2018 - Sign Move
The County moved the maintenance sign to the edge of the paved section (669 feet). Residents were instructed to take their concerns to the County legal department. When the legal department was contacted and asked what documentation had been consulted to move the sign to a new location, they were told that no documentation had been looked at. The legal department said that if the residents could provide documentation that the sign should be in a different location they would revisit their decision.
