I was sent an interesting email yesterday in regards to Rienbeck’s Wind law revisions ~

---

Look over the Setback section of the new proposed wind law, e.g., Page 8 section no. 9. on this. In section 9C setbacks of 1,000 ft plus 1.5X turbine height from centerline of 12E going from village to Clayton town line would prohibit commercial turbines in the riverfront district. In section 9D, however, it would prohibit turbines 1,000 ft from either side of 12E to the Lyme town line, but would not prohibit turbines in the lakefront district. Section 9E doesn't help either. This section covers the Ag/Res district south of Mud Bay along the lake, but again, no protections afforded the lakefront district.

This email also refreshed my memory of an incident, at the now infamous board meeting where Rienbeck called the Cops.

At this meeting someone reported to Tom Rienbeck,that a wind representative admitted that they had approached people in the Lake District about putting wind turbines on their land.
This person then asked Tom Rienbeck if this was his reasoning behind the moratorium on wind development in the river and Lake District.
Rienbeck seemed sort of surprised at the revelation of people in the Lake District being approached.
He seemed to reply no, but he was sort of vague, perhaps he was surprised that people in the general public knew.

As I read the wind law I do not see any protection for the Lake District.
