Answer To The Cape Vincent " Zoning Expert" Test

A few posts back I posted a test to see if you could be a CV "zoning expert".  If you didn't see it go back and check it out first. 

The answer to the question about whether a 1440 sq. ft. commercial large solar array is allowed in the River Front Dist. is an obvious NO!!!  It is clearly shown in a very easy to read Table 8 page 12 in our new zoning law that such a large ground mounted solar array is not allowed in the RF Dist.

Now if you got it right, then congratulations!!!

You are now one step ahead of Mr. Macsherry the CV Planning Board Chairman, and  PB Vice Chair Bob Brown and others on that board who already FAILED this test in a real life CV zoning situation a few weeks ago!!!  Yup...it be true!!!  They were well on the way to allowing an illegal use in the RF Dist. 

For nearly 20 minutes, on Steve Weed Production video of the CV PB meeting 7/10/13 with the law right in front of them while they discussed the solar project with the applicant, they never told the applicant that his array was too large as proposed for the RF Dist.   AND 21+ days later they were still trying to somehow scramble to force this project under the new law.

And sad part is....they wrote the zoning law... AND someone will again suffer for this large zoning screw up! 

So if you got the answer right on my zoning test, you are doing far better that our existing CV "zoning experts". 

To me that is not real comforting since we have been told over and over by these "experts" that this law is the end all and be all to save our community from BP and Art. X!

Geeee I hope they do a hell of a lot better when they read and interpret our zoning law before an Art X siting board and BP lawyers!!!

Now as I said there will be another "zoning expert" test coming soon.  Maybe a little more challenging!
