RE: La Porte Council meeting February 24, 2020 to address Cypress Creek apartment homes a
Bonner Carrington project.
I cannot attend the Council meeting. May I share my experience living in a Bonner Carrington
Community that Provides STRESS FREE LIVING, NON-SMOKING COMMUNITY, Large marked
auto parking spaces,security gated entry and outside garbage enclosed containers.
The property is beautifully landscape and well maintained.The game room ,fitness center,
movie theater,community room and kitchen,outside courtyard with cooking grills, outside year
around swimming pool and many other amenities provides residents something to attend daily.
I am sure the Cypress Creek Apt. Homes will provide a helpful staff and updated amenities.
Hopefully La Porte City Council will strongly consider the Cypress Creek Apt. Home project.
