The Howard town board got an update from the planning board at its meeting Wednesday night.
The planning board has been dealing with various aspects of a proposed wind farm project in town, including a draft of the proposed State Environmental Quality Review findings statement and road use agreement.
“We got a three-page report from the planning board,” Councilman Bill Hatch said. “They’re very active right now with the windmill proposal.”
According to that report, at the planning board’s June meeting, it was informed by Bob Riekofski, town building inspector and code enforcement officer, that two building permits have been issued in area adjacent to the proposed siting of windmills by Howard Wind/EverPower, but neither of the permits were within the proposed fall zone regulations.
According to information presented to the town board, the planning board will be submitting the cultural mitigation suggestions to the councilmen and Highway Superintendent Anthony Clark will be reviewing the road use agreement. The planning board also is working on the decommissioning and site restoration plan, to spell out what will be done when the lifespan of the turbines is complete.
