1. Dear Mayor Spector,
I am one of the property owners included in the area affected by. the Dermer Project. I was
excited about attending the planning commission hearing on March 26th in which the Planners
voted 6-0 against the project and asked that it be scaled down,
My wife and I were on vacation in New England during the City Council meeting in which the
original decision was reversed and feel that this issue was not properly dealt with among the local
residents of our neighborhood.
We would appeal to you to move for a further time allowance in which to hear further comments
froze six immediate neighbors who were not able to attend the Council meeting and with whom
we have been in contact since our return.
Thank you for your vote against the allowance of this project earlier as you appear to be the only
council person that cares for the concerns of local residential neighborhoods.
Best regards,
