Lyme wind law petition ruled valid
MONDAY, JANUARY 4, 2010

CHAUMONT — State appellate judges sided Wednesday with a lower court in determining that 10 Lyme town residents presented a valid petition last year to require a supermajority to pass a wind energy facility law.

The petition was signed by residents who thought the town zoning law had "excessive" setback requirements that stifled development of wind power. But the board rejected it after concluding the signers did not represent 20 percent or more of the total acreage in the town.
