CAPE VINCENT — The town Zoning Board of Appeals does not have an issue with Robert A. Shimp’s personal wind turbine permit, according to its chairman.
However, other turbine permit holders who have not made a “substantial investment” in their projects as of yet can consider their permits void.
“When a town is in the process of instituting a moratorium it does have the authority to go back to issued permits and cancel those permits as long as substantial investment in the development has not occurred,” said zoning board Chairman R. Dennis Faulknham, referring to communications between the town and its legal counsel.
