Chapman developed a twelve-block city plan for Dripping Springs. For most of its existence, Dripping Springs remained a rural area that was prosperous but unincorporated. Then, in 1981, with the city of Austin looking to expand, residents united, and Dripping Springs became a municipality. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarl Waits has strong ties to Drippings Springs, having spent most of his adult life there and wearing multiple hats.
