With so many developments seeing pushback from Kendall County residents and officials alike, a 411-acre lot division approved by county commissioners Monday morning was in contrast with the development craze hitting the Hill Country.
The owner of Brickstone Development, Thomas Beauchamp, purchased a 411-acre tract of land along Interstate 10 between Boerne and Comfort in December. Beauchamp went before the commissioners Monday to subdivide the property into six lots all over 55 acres, with two taking on about 90 acres.
Further pleasing both county commissioners and audience members was the fact the developer agreed to place a deed restriction on the lots, preventing any further division of the property. While the developer said he initially was going to put a 50-year timeframe on the restriction, he said he made it a permanent restriction after speaking with commissioners and city staff.
