The Cape Vincent Solar Zoning Geniuses Are At It Again!!!!

The other day I saw that the new Cape Vincent zoning law revision was posted on the town website.

You can download it at this link and see the changes.

Looks like the solar zoning fiasco that I exposed last summer and fall, and was reported in the  WDT has resulted in some changes in the Cape Vincent zoning law revision.  This would also be the same fiasco in which the town supervisor Mr. Hirschey was involved with his own illegal solar project he had to temporarily remove.

Well...the regulations are still screwed up, and have been significantly "loosened."

This should make Mr. Hirschey very happy, I'm sure!

My brother-in-law used to say years ago about Flagstaff zoning where I live...

"They build it...then we zone it!" 

 In other words build whatever you want, and then we will figure out how to zone it for you!

Yup...that pretty much explains the Cape Vincent solar zoning fiasco and Mr. Hirschey's solar project.  Wonder if he has something else planned?

I hope Mr. Hirschey doesn't have any plans for a toxic waste dump, or factory pig farm, or a bigger solar project!!!

Now it occurs to me that we now have a new CV councilwoman Michelle Oswald. She was also on the board when this original solar zoning mess started and badly aggrieved one of her fellow CV woman citizens.

The last time around she was rather silent as this mess unfolded.  We didn't hear her "Voice" on the matter!

Makes me wonder if she will sit still for this nonsense in the zoning revision this time around, or are social considerations more important than actual law and a rational consistent zoning process?

I will be posting more on the zoning revision soon.
