CLAYTON — Zoning law amendments to increase the distance wind turbines are allowed from neighboring property will be considered this week by the Town Council.
The council will hold a public hearing at 6 p.m. Wednesday on the proposed amendments.
The amendments do not reach the setbacks proposed by the town's Wind Committee. Those recommendations were considered in April 2010. Town Supervisor Justin A. Taylor was the deciding vote against adopting the committee's recommendations.
The current law establishes setbacks of 500 feet from property lines and public highways and 1,250 feet from nonparticipating residences and public buildings.
The proposed amendment would require 1,250-foot setbacks from the property lines of nonparticipants, leaving participating property owners with a 500-foot setback from their boundaries.
