Alexander's defunct wind turbine being repaired after the brake cable failed and it dangerously free wheeled for many hours in a high wind storm. Picture taken from Mrs. Grogan's back porch!
Now Mr. Alexander wants a solar array, and the letter below is public notice of a public hearing to Mrs. Grogan and other nearby property owners of his plans. It was sent by the CV Planning Board.
Mary Grogan sent me this letter.
After the zoning mess Alexander and Alan Wood created with this turbine the planning
board should deny any request for anything on his property until that turbine which has
not operated except as a flaw, that is now a dangerous and expensive Osprey nest is removed.
I hope Mr. MacSherry and the planning board or somebody in this CV govt. will finally stand up for this poor woman and the suffering she has been through at the hands of CV govt. and Mr. Alexander!
I highly suggest we all show up for this public hearing and support Mrs. Grogan!
END OF STORY!!!!
Maybe the zoning law has been modified, or maybe the Planning board intends to circumvent the law somehow, maybe I just don't know how to read charts or tables, but according to Table 8 ,on Page 12, Solar energy conversion systems over 100 sq. ft are not permitted in the Waterfront district.
ReplyDeleteSECS are a specific type of development, singled out and purposefully addressed in the law. They cannot and should not be considered as a generic "commercial use" just to appease a ambitious applicant.
If the Town expects there to be a shred of integrity in this zoning law, they will not bend it for the likes of Mr. Alexander ,who appears willing to ignore the welfare of all of his neighbors.
That is the way I read the law as well in table 8 as regarding siting of solar energy systems.
