The Hearing Examiner appeal hearing for the Conner Helicopter Temporary Use
Permit has been rescheduled to Tuesday, March 18th, at 9:00 a.m. at the request
of the City and the applicant. The City requested the later date to avoid
confusion between this action and the code work that is underway. The
applicant’s attorney is unavailable until the March date. The appellants were
notified by our City Attorney and have agreed to the new hearing date. Notice
was mailed to the appellants, applicant, and Parties of Record.
The new hearing date is: Tuesday, March 18, at 9:00 a.m. in the Council
Chambers.

Hmmm….
Is there a tactic of moving the date to fatigue the people who are opposed to helicopters? This is the second date change, and every change will cause people to become more disinterested.
Darn clever.
Remember, it’s not Connor’s well mannered helicopter that we all should be worried about – it’s the potential of Paul Allen’s huge copter shuttling football players around to the training camp that we really need to nip in the bud.
Be sure to take into account how Paul Allen screwed the city of Mercer Island by building a fake boat that is essentially a helipad to get around the Island’s reasonable rules.
You can see the helipad here (you’ll have to zoom out):

Don’t let the jerk get away with it!
