Construction of new subdivision could begin in fall
‘Time is of the essence and has
been one of the pushing factors.
We don’t want to miss this....
Every month that goes by, we’re
losing more and more people.”
Charles Medcalf
President, Four Points Developers
By COY SLAVIK
Record Managing Editor
As Cuero’s economy continues
to grow, so will the city’s popu-
lation.
The Cuero Industrial
Foundation has recognized this
and is working with Charles
Medcalf to accommodate those
who wish to make Cuero their
new home.
Medcalf, President of Four
Points Development in Austin,
was approached by the Cuero
Industrial Foundation last sum-
mer to assist in the develop-
ment of land owned by the
foundation near Cuero High
School.
“They had seen a need for
housing here with all the
growth and no supply of new
homes and residential lots,”
Medcalf said.
Last week, the Industrial
Foundation’s board of directors
unanimously approved
Medcalf’s proposal to move for-
ward with developing a subdivi-
sion that could provide as many
as 300 homes.
“Housing has been a big prob-
lem in Cuero for years,”
Industrial Foundation President
Bill Blackwell said.
“The flood of ’98 showed we
really needed a new develop-
ment. This is the only piece of
property in the city limits with
any size that could be developed
for housing. It’s next to the
schools and way out of the flood
zone. It really needs to be devel-
oped for Cuero.”
Medcalf has conducted a resi-
dential feasibility study and
looked at ways to make the

Cuero’s old water
tower comes down
The old water tower on North Esplanade was
dismantled, demolished and removed Friday.
While dismantling the structure that stood
high atop the town since 1928, workers
discovered a plaque, above, recognizing city
officials at the time the tower was erected.
Record Facebook friends were asked how
much they would miss the old tower. See their
comments on Page 2A.

County burn
ban extended
to June 10
By COY SLAVIK
Record Managing Editor
The DeWitt County Commissioners
Court extended the countywide burn
ban in unincorporated areas for anoth-
er 90 days to June 10 at Thursday’s
meeting and approved an amendment
to the county ordinance that could
make violating the burn ban more
costly to violators.
County Judge Daryl Fowler reported
that five citations had been written
since the burn ban was enacted in
December. The amount of the citations
ranged from $117 to $319.
Fowler said the cost for each fire call
is $200 and the county has paid the
Cuero Fire Department $2,200 and
Yoakum Fire Department $1,800 since
the ban was enacted.
“I don’t think we’d be out of line if we
started charging the landowners on
private property who have a fire that
has gotten out of control to pay the
$200 if they are in violation,” Precinct
1 Commissioner Curtis Afflerbach
said. “The taxpayer would only be
responsible for payment of a fire
