Is it fair that the proposed setbacks in the Cohocton Wind Turbine Local Law # 2 should prevent your building any new structure on your own property adjacent to the site of a wind tower?
How can that be, you ask? The setbacks in this new version of the law are 500’ from a public road or your property line and 1,500’ from a residence. In effect this means you would not be able to build a structure, your own windmill or solar panels between your house and the industrial wind turbine machine. Obviously this is a violation of your own property and wind rights and in effect is a loss of the use of your own land.
If this new law is approved, the Cohocton Town Board is telling you that your property has been restricted because of the site location of the industrial wind project. Is that fair to every property owner that is within the 1,500’ setback?
Also why is that setback measured from the centerline of the tower, and not from the furthest distance of the ice throw and wind wash?
Just another reality that the proponents of the UPC project don’t want you to know or realize.
DEMAND greater setbacks in order to protect your property rights.
