Please Plan to Attend the City Council Meeting tomorrow at 7p!

You are invited to participate in the special-called City Council session that will culminate in a vote regarding the use of Christ Our Savior Lutheran Church property for the Manara Academy Charter School.

June 16, 2009 – tomorrow night!
7:00 pm
Town Center Building
255 Parkway Blvd

Why should you attend this meeting?
The volume of activity in this location will impact our community in many ways. In brief, we oppose the use of this land due to traffic and safety implications, the volume of people and activity located within residential zoning, and the strain on municipal resources. How the council members vote on this single issue will serve as a key indicator of what we can expect from our elected officials in all future city matters. It is our stance that the residents and the neighborhoods surrounding this location will be adversely impacted. In this particular case, the citizens of Coppell have overwhelmingly expressed a VOCAL and WRITTEN OPPOSITION to this special use permit.

This issue is receiving significant media attention. There have been reporters and attorneys at both Planning & Zoning meetings and they most certainly will be present tomorrow night. Manara’s attorneys have insinuated that our position of opposition is discriminatory in basis and racially motivated. We unequivocally repudiate that inflammatory label. Coppell is a community of spiritual strength with respect for differing personal beliefs. Our diversity is evident in Coppell’s daily life and speaks for itself.

Please join us to affirm our stance that the citizens of Coppell are opposed to any dense volume use of this land, no matter what its purpose- governmental, commercial or educational.

Neighbors, make the effort and let your voice be heard!

Please let everyone you know in Coppell about this information!
