TOWN COUNCIL – MAYOR’S REMARKS Issues with Frontier Communications: Tom Yetter on Estates Drive was the first Town Resident to alert us to interrupted internet and telephone service with Frontier Communications. Resident June Tyler then emailed that she had been without telephone service for a week. Frontier would schedule repair men – who simply did not show up. June is a CPA handling income tax returns for clients. She said the lack of telephone service was hurting her business. If you are experiencing difficulties with connections or repair services with Frontier Communications, please contact Town Hall with the details. Double Oak’s Mayor Mike Donnelly has received similar complaints from his town’s residents. Upon investigation, Mayor Donnelly found the problems with Frontier Communications were not limited to our immediate area of North Texas, but also exists
some open space in addition to the lots. Everything was designed around the trees as much as possible. Mayor Pro Tem Mangum – “Range” Road should read “Ranch” Road. Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Hill inquired about water drainage. Bobby Dollak explained that ¾ of the lots will drain toward the pond and the other lots will drain to the stream. They (G&A Consultants) is working with Halff Associates to make sure water is managed correctly. Council Member Castleman inquired about fencing around the subdivision. Bobby Dollak explained that there will be fencing on the north, west and east sides but not on the south side. Residents will be responsible for that fencing. The fence facing Lantana will remain.
