There is no need for a public <br /> hearing. Nothing new will be brought to the table. <br /> The developers main argument that they will bear unburdanable <br /> costs is just so much hot air. Any additional costs incurred are <br /> simply passed on to the buyer. As all developers are under the same <br /> rules, no one has an advantage. <br /> Your delaying veto simply allows developers to get the jump on any <br /> new ordinance and accelerate their cutting. Stop protecting <br /> developers. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> r.. <br /> Hans P. Christofferson <br />
