With a 5 – 0 vote in favor, the Flower Mound Town Council approved phase one of the site plan for the Coram Deo Academy of Flower Mound development on Sept. 15. The proposal as approved by council members included additional landscaping of 20 more trees along the north and west property lines to provide screening for the neighbors, and creation of a new exit road off of Wichita Trail which will be directly across from the entrance to Twin Coves Park.

While council members again encouraged cooperation with neighbors and cautioned Academy staff to ensure landscaping on the perimeter of the property is maintained, they also complimented the Academy for the value it brings to the community.

“We appreciate you being in Flower Mound,” said Council Member and Mayor Pro Tem Tim Trotter. “It was never a question of service or benefit. We are so proud to have a school like Coram Deo. ”

“I am extremely proud of Coram Deo; it is a huge asset to this community,” said Council Member Joel Lindsey. “I am continually amazed by the quality of graduates. …  Coram Deo brings positive recognition to our town.”

The approval came after two years of work on master plan concepts and design of the first phase of the development.  Adjustments were made to accommodate and compromise where possible, according to Ryan North, CDA business manager.

“I had several meetings with our neighbors both in their homes and on our property to discuss any concerns regarding our application,” said Mr. North. “We did what we could to respond while still providing the best plan for our students and families.”
