Cape Vincents PB adopts un- adopted draft wind law as guideline for turbine siting

September 13, 2006:

The Planning Board approves a motion (4-0, Binsley absent) to adopt the Town’s previous un-adopted draft wind law as guidelines for wind turbines siting in the projects site plan review process. This was an illegal action on the part of Edsall and the planning board which has no authority to adopt anything. They are an advisory board with no legislative power. We believe this was a backdoor attempt to avoid specific wind zoning, and the Comp Plan issues. We believe it was another in a trend of actions by conflicted town officials to expedite the wind developer’s projects.
