From: F. Jeffrey Goldthwait, J.D.
I am a resident, property owner, taxpayer and registered voter in the Town of Cohocton.
There has to be a better way to improve the economics in Cohocton than the permanent damage UPC proposes.
We have neither reviewed nor revised the Cohocton Comprehensive Master Plan since it was first adopted in 1970 - TFflRTY SIX YEARS AGO! That plan's sole purpose was then and is now to provide an informed, accurate, independent plan for desirable economic and environmentally sound land uses for the Town and Village of Cohocton, to improve the Town's and Village's future and attract new residents, retain current ones and to provide jobs locally for our graduating children so that we can all remain here and enjoy the natural, unspoiled, beauty of the hills, fields, wildlife and forests that God has blessed us with. It was also designed to protect the property values of ALL property owners equally.
Before the Town or Village commits to ANY major new land use, should not the first and most important step be to review and update the Cohocton Comprehensive Master Plan?
Public and governmental assistance is available for such a project and I would be happy to provide sources and contacts to you and assist you in any way I can. You can call me direct at 384.9832.
I respectfully request the Planning Board's written response to this singularly critical and important question before any recommendation is made to the Town Board re the proposed Wind Turbine project.
