We are thrilled to hear that Schlitterbahn has shown extreme interest in having our Island be their next resort destination!!  As you can see they are still in the preliminary stages with creating a conceptual layout (ABOVE).  Although the ink hasn’t dried, we are very hopeful their relationship with Asset Development Corporation and the City of Corpus Christi will solidify the plan and start the project sometime early summer 2012.  that  If you would like a hard copy of their proposed plan, please feel free to stop by and we will be glad to provide you one.  Scroll Down to See “Latest Schlitterbahn Information” from Padre Island Owners Association. Take a look at the Video Below and imagine the family fun that will be at our fingertips!!

Schlitterbahn Information

Questions and answers from the January 11, 2012 community meeting regarding Schlitterbahn

Speakers at the meeting were Jeff Henry, one of the family members who own Schlitterbahn, Paul Schnexailder, and Charlie Cardenas from the City Traffic Department. The POA editorial comments in italic were not part of the questions and answers.

WHY IS THE PARK BEING BUILT ON THE COUNTRY CLUB SITE AND NOT CLOSER TO THE WATER?

From Jeff Henry – We’ve learned from experience that it is better to be farther away from the water if a hurricane makes landfall. The Country Club site is ideal. We design our resorts to fit into the community.

HOW MUCH TRAFFIC WILL THE PARK GENERATE AND HOW WILL IT BE HANDLED?

The Corpus City Traffic Engineer explained that the City staff went to Galveston to meet with the Galveston City staff and to observe the traffic patterns at the resort in Galveston. The resort being planned for the Island is similar to Galveston as far as the size and the fact that it is also on an island. He said traffic is not an issue. In fact, the traffic count does not meet the threshold for triggering the requirement for a traffic impact study; however, it will be monitored as the resort opens. Jeff Henry pointed out the park hours are from 10 AM to 8 PM folks going to work would actually be going in the opposite direction from the resort goers. There will be at least three entrances to the park – 1 off Commodores and 2 off Park Road 22. Parking lots will be on the Park Road 22 side of the project. They expect 700 to 800 vehicles per day.

FROM THE POA: There is no question that we currently have traffic issues during spring break, major summer holidays, and the annual Beach to Bay run. Those of us living here realize we need to plan our trips “over the bridge” or we will be caught in waiting lines. The additional traffic for the resort will not change the need to plan ahead.

HOW WILL THE PARK AFFECT WATER AND SEWER USAGE?

In actuality, the park uses very little water. They recirculate the water. There is some loss due to evaporation, but water usage is not an issue. The same is true for sewer. There are currently some fresh water ponds on the golf course, plans are to connect them to the canal system so they will be salt water canals.

From the POA: The Island currently has a problem whereby the hydrants are regularly flushed because our water usage is not high enough and the water in the lines becomes stagnant.

WHAT LEVEL OF NOISE CAN WE EXPECT?

Noise is not an issue in any of their parks. Basically, it is no louder than the Ocean.

HOW MANY DAYS WILL THE PARK OPERATE?

The park employs young people/students so they are open from May thru August, 7 days per week and the rest of the year on weekends and holidays. The plans for this park are to cover part of it so that it can be used year round on weekends.

I LIVE ON CANADIAN MIST, WILL I BE LOOKING AT A PARKING LOT?

As explained previously, the parking lots are on the Park Road 22 side of the property.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE GOLF COURSE?

There will be a separate meeting with all of the current members of the golf course. It is an important part of this community and we are working on how to keep it operating. May only be a 9-hole course.

WHAT ABOUT CRIME? WILL THIS CAUSE AN INCREASE?

This has not been an issue. Drug dealers don’t want to pay to go to a place to sell their stuff especially when they can go to the beach for nothing. Mr. Henry said they use surveillance cameras in their parking lots as well as private security to patrol. He again stressed the family nature of the park and that all adults are encouraged to watch over the kids. The Corpus Christi Police Department will adjust staffing just as they currently do for all special events.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO OUR PROPERTY VALUES?

Mr. Henry said he could not possibly predict. He said that an area can become stagnant without growth. The resort will increase the viability of the Island and should thereby increase property values.

HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL YOU EMPLOY?

Mr. Henry said approximately 1000 are employed at the individual parks. Most are seasonal, part-time, but there are some permanent jobs as well. Not all 1000 will be working every day the park is open.

HOW DO YOU BECOME INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY?

We work with charities in the local areas where we currently have parks. We offer special packages for fund raisers and encourage our employees to become involved on committees and boards of the various organizations. We believe that is being good citizens.

ARE YOU ASKING THE CITY FOR INCENTIVES?

Yes, as is the case for most developments, we are working with the City on an incentive package. The test for the City is to determine if what they are offering is offset by the increase in hotel/motel taxes, sales taxes, and so forth. We have a good working relationship going with the City and are hopeful we will get this resolved.

WHAT ABOUT FINANCING, DO YOU HAVE COMMITMENTS?

Until we have all of the items cleared by the City, we can’t take the package to a lender. But, we have had a great deal of interest from various lenders and our equity position is very good.

WHEN CAN YOU START?

We hope to be open by May, 2013.

PROPOSED BRIDGE LAYOUTS BELOW PRESS RELEASE

CITY TO HOLD PUBLIC MEETING REGARDING PARK ROAD 22

AND PROPOSED BRIDGE AND CANAL

The City of Corpus Christi is conducting a public meeting on Tuesday, April 10, from 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm, at the Seashore Learning Center, 15801 S. Padre Island Drive, to receive input from the public regarding the construction of a proposed bridge and canal on Park Road 22. The impacted area is a little longer than one mile with limits between Whitecap Blvd and Commodores. The purpose of the project is to support the effort to provide boat and pedestrian access to the area. In addition, the project is expected to greatly improve the quality of the water in the existing canal system through water exchange with Lake Padre.

The proposed project will raise the existing roadway approximately 14 feet with the construction of a bridge so as to accommodate boats passing through the proposed channel. No other roadway improvements are proposed, no new right-of-way is proposed and no residential or commercial displacements will occur as a result of this project. “This is a win/win for local residents and visitors”, said Dan Biles, PE, Interim Engineering Director.  “It will keep the water in the canals cleaner and will soon allow recreational boats to access the area. It’s a big step towards our goal of transforming the Mustang-Padre Island area into a world-renowned tourist, resort and residential community,” continued Biles.

The City encourages area residents to attend the meeting, to review the materials displayed and to comment about the project. If someone is not able to attend, he/she can still comment on the project by sending comments to Mary Kelly PE, c/o Raba Kistner Environmental, Inc., 12821 W. Golden Lane, San Antonio, Texas 78249. You may also submit comments by fax (210) 699-6426, or by e-mail mkelly@rkci.com. All comments received through Friday, April 20, 2012, will be used in the public record.
