Petition addressed to: Mayor and Council of Kyle, Texas and Hays County Commissioners Court
We, the undersigned Kyle residents and/or residents of Hays County and/or homeowners, oppose placing the proposed Hays County Eastside Campus directly affecting the subdivisions of Sunset Hills, Amberwood, Lakeside Crossing, Kensington Trails & residents at large near Bebee Road, Dacy Lane, Sunflower Cir, Science Hall Elementary, Chapa Middle School, and surrounding residential neighborhoods.
This is not a small neighborhood office. The proposed county facility has been described as a large, three-story, approximately 72,000-square-foot government campus with a minimum of 26 different county offices consisting of: court-related functions, sheriff and constable operations, and adult and juvenile probation services to name a few. Discussions surrounding the broader project have also included animal-services facilities and infrastructure associated with Kyle Vista.
This location is wrong.
A county campus of this size will bring substantial increases in traffic, noise, congestion, lighting, security activity, and other impacts that fundamentally change the character of nearby neighborhoods. Residents also have legitimate concerns regarding probation-related and supervised-offender traffic being placed near homes, parks, walking trails, and two schools attended by Kyle children.
In addition, any animal-services or animal-control operations associated with this project could introduce ongoing noise from barking dogs, vehicle activity, kennel operations, and related disturbances that nearby homeowners would be forced to live with every day. Anyone who has lived near a kennel, shelter, or animal-control facility understands that persistent barking can significantly impact quality of life, outdoor enjoyment, and neighborhood tranquility along with attracting vermin.
Many residents purchased homes in this area with the expectation that Kyle Vista Park would remain focused on parks, recreation, open space, trails, athletic facilities, and family-oriented community uses. Instead, residents are now facing the possibility of a large regional government complex adjacent to neighborhoods, schools, and future parkland.
Kyle residents support needed county services. However, those services belong in an appropriate governmental or commercial location—not on land long associated with Kyle Vista Park and not immediately adjacent to family neighborhoods and schools.
We respectfully call upon the City of Kyle and Hays County to abandon plans to locate the Eastside Campus at Kyle Vista Park and to permanently protect this property for parkland, recreation, open space, trails, athletic facilities, and other community-serving uses consistent with public expectations and the City's long-term park vision.
By signing below, I support protecting Kyle Vista Park and oppose the placement of the Hays County Eastside Campus at this location.

Thank you for continuing to stay engaged on this issue.
Commissioner Ingalsbe will be asking the County not to move forward with the proposed County Campus on the Kyle Vista Park parcels. She has also shared that announcement publicly on Facebook. You can read it here:

Thank you for caring enough to get involved and for helping bring attention to an issue that means so much to our community.
It would be right behind my house. Practically in my backyard. There will be more traffic, noise including construction noise, bright street lights, and it's next to a school right across the street. Families walk from apartments across the street to our playground, our neighborhood children play outside daily, this will now force them to stay indoors due to new fear of who is walking around the area. This has to also do with the fact that Children also walk home from school. Prior to moving to our neighborhood, we were told it would be a park for family communities, this is not what we expected might happen. I hope it is reconsidered.
The safety of the children and families at Chapa Middle School and Science Hall Elementary is too important. Students of these campuses walk to school daily and this will cause an increase in traffic which impacts walking conditions for children K-8th grade to walk safely. There have already been incidents of children being ran over just feet away from where this supposed facility is to be placed. Why this was not considered by the City of Kyle and/or Hays County prior to making these plans is beyond me. Additionally, criminal offenders should NOT be in such close proximity to a school and the surrounding communities of children and families. I urge all decision makers to reconsider the location of this facility, given there is land available close to the jail located off the highway which would have a lesser impact on our communities all together.

We need more nature and parks accessible to the residents here. Due to traffic congestion alone it is challenging for us to even visit parks within walking distance safely!
Parks are important, as are the wildlife that benefit from such sanctuary spaces.
Please prioritize road development so vehicles are not encouraged to be driving thru residential areas so much.
