It may be difficult to tell from this photo, but the accretion of shell on the HEB beach is the greatest I have ever seen. The water line is now 60 feet from the line established just last fall. I believe the closed oystering season has allowed the oyster crop to deposit shell on the beach rather than be taken to market. There could have been a die off of oysters that has allowed the shell to build up. Either way there is a lot more shell beach than I can recall.
Aransas Glass was busy here today. They worked on sliding glass doors on 103, 304, and 504.
Aransas Appraisal District has posted their 2010 values for Kontiki Condominiums. It appears the values have dropped about $30,000 per unit. It is interesting to see that owners who protested last year's values have been pegged above identical units this year. Don't mess with the appraisal office! I'm sure those owners have a good case this year, if they protest in time. Usually the appraisal office will adjust values with just a phone call, if all parties agree.
