OSWEGATCHIE HILLS ZONING (Newsletter, July 2005)

True to form, the developer has submitted a new application for building in Oswegatchie Hills. This in spite of the fact that the denial of his last application is still under appeal. Save the River-Save the Hills continues to participate in this process as an intervener, together with the Friends of the Oswegatchie Hills Nature Preserve. Our intervention was helpful in the denial of the first appeal, but now we have the second one and once more we are asking for help from our membership and the public. The Town Attorney of East Lyme has told us that the presence of nonprofit groups as interveners is very helpful to his legal position in the zoning case against the developer.

Is it embarrassing and frustrating to be asking again for money to fight this battle?
You bet it is!
We have engaged in lengthy discussions over the wisdom and effectiveness of continuing. We have decided "to hang in there" if we can raise the funds.
