1-1                          SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 712

        1-2           WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas takes pride in

        1-3     recognizing the Mill Creek Homeowners Association on the grand

        1-4     occasion of the first anniversary of Peak's Suburban Addition

        1-5     Historic District; and

        1-6           WHEREAS, The Peak's Suburban Addition Historic District has

        1-7     its beginnings in a large tract of land owned in the last half of

        1-8     the 19th century by Captain Jefferson Peak; since Captain Peak's

        1-9     home was located a good distance from downtown Dallas, he decided

       1-10     to subdivide his property and create a neighborhood; he named the

       1-11     subdivision Peak's Suburban Addition; and

       1-12           WHEREAS, Several years ago, after the neighborhood had

       1-13     radically deteriorated, a group of volunteers from Mill Creek

       1-14     Homeowners Association decided to restore the area and began working

       1-15     with the preservation section of the Dallas Department of Planning

       1-16     and Development; and

       1-17           WHEREAS, These dedicated volunteers set up boundaries,

       1-18     met with committees at City Hall, and created criteria for

       1-19     the district; on March 9, 1996, the Dallas City Council designated

       1-20     the neighborhood Peak's Suburban Addition Historic District; and

       1-21           WHEREAS, The celebration of the first anniversary of Peak's

       1-22     Suburban Addition Historic District takes place May 17, 1997, with

       1-23     the unveiling of a City of Dallas historical marker by Captain

        2-1     Peak's descendants; now, therefore, be it

        2-2           RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,

        2-3     75th Legislature, hereby commend the members of the Mill Creek

        2-4     Homeowners Association on their hard work and perseverance and

        2-5     express appreciation to them for their successful preservation

        2-6     and renovation of this historic district; and, be it further

        2-7           RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for the

        2-8     Mill Creek Homeowners Association as an expression of esteem from

        2-9     the Texas Senate.

       2-10                                                                    Cain
