We the citizens of Pella and the surrounding area respectfully request that you do NOT amend the Comprehensive Plan (approved in 2014 at a cost of $85,000) to allow Casey's to build a convenience store on the empty lots in the 500 block of Main St. There are many things that could be built on this property which would be of more benefit to the city of Pella.

Reaching this point in our campaign is heavy because it proves how many people want our town to stay true to its roots. The road ahead remains uphill but seeing this level of backing keeps me going when the silence from the city feels overwhelming.

The planning and zoning committee should respect Pella citizen requests, the intent to preserve a thriving historical district, and the ideal of a gateway corridor to maintain Pella's quaintness and not approve the construction of a Caseys gas station on the 500 block of Main Street
I do not want the eye sore of a Casey's or any other convenient store in the proposed area! It's a beautiful entrance to our city with out the glare and traffic this store will bring,and right over the widened side walk leading to the bike trails! There are a lot of citizens who walk,ride bike in this area.
build something for the people of pella.
Affordable dutch front town homes, duplexes are way better options than building a Casey's. Think of the property and homes next to a 24 hr Casey's.
Casey's wanted to monopolize our town by buying out the neighborhood stores, now keep them open so our neighborhood kids (and seniors)don't have to travel halfway across town to go there on foot, , that would make it a much more dangerous journey.
Casey's at that location would be a accident waiting to happen. It would not be a mater of if, it would be a matter of when.
Please do not amend the Comprehensive Plan approved in 2014.

I oppose amending the City of Pella Comprehensive Plan in order to accommodate placing a gas station/convenience store in the 500 block of Main Street. The city would be better served with a housing development.
