It appears the public will get an introduction to the new Cape Vincent zoning law draft and comp plan draft on Tues. June 5th. Although these are still drafts and I guess could potentially change some in the future, I think it would be instructive if the zoning committee would put some hard numbers to the BIG question on everybody's mind.
HOW MANY????
I guess we could all sift through the various setbacks and try to figure it out, but how many industrial wind turbines will this new law allow and where? Will it be a "defacto ban" as Planning Board member Mr. Cullen has called it and allow ZERO turbines. Will it be feasible for BP to put up one, two, five 20 etc????
Rather than leave it to public speculation I think the zoning committee should be obligated to put some hard numbers to these questions. Both sides of this wind debate certainly are going to want to know. This question was completely avoided during the elections and ever since and now is the time to pony up as to exactly what this new law means for industrial wind development in CV and make it simple so we can all understand.
