Reminder: Timbers Edge Appeal Hearing, Mon (8/24/09) evening, County Admin Building, at 7 pm. The Board of County Commissioners will hear the Illahee Community's appeal of the Hearing Examiner's decision to approve the Timbers Edge development. The hearing is at the beginning of the Commissioner's meeting so it shouldn't take too long, especially since the lawyers only get 10 minutes to make their case.
Concerned Citizen Encouraged to Attend. We have been asked to encourage concerned citizens to attend the hearing and have been told that a good showing of citizens shows the commissioners that residents are supportive of community efforts. Those who helped with the Illahee Day cleanup are urged to wear the Illahee shirts that were given out by the Port of Illahee.
Illahee Community Letter. We have been told that 1500 Illahee Community Letters have been hand delivered to residents regarding the Timbers Edge project. Responses have been coming in via postal mail, email, and phone. So far the responses have all been in agreement with the "Illahee Community Proposal re Timbers Edge," with some providing checks to support the legal fund. Some volunteers may not have distributed their letters, so if you don't get a copy by the middle of the week, let us know.
Illahee Community Meeting on Saturday. There was a good community meeting held Saturday at the Sylvan Way library. We will wait for the Illahee Community Club's report to come out before reporting on the meeting.
Deer Vegetation Pictures. We have some recent photos that show some of the things deer like to eat. So far we have photos of the decimated tomatoes, raspberries, and kiwi that we will try to get into small files so we can attach them in a later Update. If you have some deer grazing photos we will include them.
See You Monday Evening (8/24/09) at the County Admin Building.
