Attention: Mr. Sam Sparger

Dear Sam:
Regretfully I must resign as alternate on the Board of
Adjustments since our family is preparing to move in the
near future from the Southlake area.
It has been a priviledge to have served and work with so
may fine people in the City of Southlake.

WHEREAS, FM 1709 connecting the cities of Keller, Southlake and

asphalt roadway which has served the citizens of Keller
6
and Grapevine and the people of the great State of Texas
for many years; and,
7 WHEREAS, FM 1709 has now become a major traffic artery between
the two population centers and the outlying communities
8 with a scenic drive through the City of Southlake; and,
9 WHEREAS, due to the tremendous increase in traffic volume,
FM 1709 has deteriorated rapidly into an obstacle
10
course of some difficulty; and,

11 has been further complicated by the many cars on the
roadway resulting in numerous accidents and traffic
12 fatalities; and,

WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Keller feels that all
of the local and state representatives that serve the
cities of Keller and Grapevine, along with the appro-

section of roadway and its extremely poor condition;
NOW, THEREFORE,
16 BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KELLER, TEXAS:
17 Sec. 1. THAT an urgent plea be sent out that FM 1709 between the
