Petition addressed to: Manchester Board of Aldermen

We call upon the Manchester Board of Aldermen to deny the proposed Special Use Permit that would allow an automobile service facility at the historic Henry Avenue Schoolhouse (120 Henry Avenue).

**PLEASE ATTEND THE PUBLIC HEARING MONDAY, JULY 20 @ 7PM @ MANCHESTER JUSTICE CENTER, 200 HIGHLANDS BLVD. PACK THE HOUSE!**

Reason

This proposal would permanently change one of Manchester's historic landmarks by introducing commercial automotive service operations, include vehicle service bays, expanded parking, increased traffic, and business operations beginning as early as 7:30 AM.

This proposal is incompatible with the historic character of the property and surrounding neighborhood, and does not serve the interests of our community.

We ask the Board of Aldermen to preserve Manchester's history, protect our neighborhood, uphold existing zoning laws, and vote NO on the Special Use Permit.

**PLEASE ATTEND THE PUBLIC HEARING MONDAY, JULY 20 @ 7PM @ MANCHESTER JUSTICE CENTER, 200 HIGHLANDS BLVD. PACK THE HOUSE!**

Thank you so much for your support, Protect Henry Avenue Historic District, Manchester

Save the historical roots of our town

We need to keep historical `buildings. We have more than enough auto repair shops in the area.

I cannot believe the City of Manchester thinks this is appropriate! What happened to having a master plan that encompasses your historic buildings and preserving the few pieces of history in the area that haven't been destroyed in "west" county. Are you all that shortsighted?

I think that we need to protect old, historic buildings. Manchester is an old, beautiful city , on par with Kirkwood and Webster, with a lot of history that should be celebrated, not destroyed!
