H E #2 <br />Hearing Testimony, March 1, 2017, Amazon Corner TIA Appeal <br />Appellant: Southeast Neighbors Association & FOAC <br />Dennis Hebert, Southeast Neighbors Board <br />Good afternoon. I am Dennis Hebert. I am on the Southeast Neighbors <br />Board and here representing the Southeast Neighborhood Association <br />members. The reason we are appealing the initial TIA is that a general <br />meeting was held of the Association to discuss the Amazon Corner <br />development. While several issues were discussed concerning adverse <br />effects of the development to the neighborhood, an overwhelming <br />majority of the attending members asked that the TIA be appealed. At <br />that time, Mr. William Collinge, Chair of Friends of Amazon Creek, <br />stated that his organization also felt strongly about the traffic impact of <br />Amazon Corner and they would be willing to lead a fundraising effort <br />and assume the financial responsibility of the appeal. We, Southeast <br />Neighbors Board, felt that was a good co-operative community <br />endeavor and signed on for support of the appeal. <br />
