Dear Board Members:
In doing research at the town hall about the wind project the original windmill law drafts done by Donald Cleveland came to my attention. It seems Mr. Cleveland was preparing a much more resident friendly law then the one finally adopted in 2006. Mr. Cleveland's draft was given to UPC who made several changes, all to their economic benefit, which were then adopted by the Board. It seems a little strange that the Corporation who is financially gaining from the project had more input then residents of the community, in a law being prepared to protect residents not to reward faceless corporations. May I please ask that you go back and take a second look at the draft prepared by the Board Members and not UPC before making your final recommendations to the Town Board. Setbacks that protect all residents are the key issue.
Included is a scientific article about ice throw you may find helpful. As an impacted resident I only ask that you take the time you need and not feel rushed in your decision to make the appropriate recommendations on the new law.
Sincerely,
Judith Hall
