Dear Mayor Geer:
Anna Lake Estates Home owners
Joe v. smith
1404 Rabbit Run Road
Anna, TX 75409-9755
Telephone (214) 924-3879
A few weeks ago, I stopped by your office and visited with you for
awhile concerning the Anna Lake Estates and the fact that our roads
have deteriorated over the years until they are now in a critical
state of repair. On February 16th of this year the home owners,
met and approved a Road Maintenance Agreement whereas we can now
legally approve a contract for continued road maintenance.
Unfortunately the gentleman· that was suppose to talk to us about ,
our roads and what we needed to do to put them into top shape,
suffered a heart attack just before this meeting. It has since
been determined he is okay and that the attack was minor. We did
however, experience this delay.
We have looked at our road situation from all standpoints and have
decided that we want to try our best to get the roads put in top
shape. This means we need to actually rebuild our roads. The area
that is black topped was not built with an appropriate base and
thus needs to be completely rebuilt. This of course is going to be
the largest .expense of the total project. We can get a new road
that will be virtually maintenance free for an additional two years
for $7,500.
As we discussed, the City of Anna uses our roads, usually two to
three times a day. In addition, on occasions, heavy equipment must
be moved into the pond area cross our roads. The City of Anna has
once contributed a few hundred dollars to the cost of the roads but
has had access and use since they were first built in the 1970's.
For these reasons, we would like to ask the City of Anna to
contribute one-half of the cost of rebuilding the roads into
shape. If you would agree to this, we will not ask you for any
more funds through the year 1997. Even after 1997 the cost will be
minimal because maintenance will be done regularly.

The Management Committee of our Association (Susie Pointer, Don
Davis, and myself) will be glad to meet with you and the city
council or do anything in our power to explain what the situation
out here is. We want to thank you for your consideration and your
time.
Respectfully Submitted,
