Zoning board process allows all to have they say on issues | Belvidere Daily Republican

I question if the next meeting is at “city hall”—I would think it is at the county administrative building. The meeting is scheduled for city hall.

Step No. 3 called for those supporting changes in the regulations to be heard. That took the rest of the evening, up until the hearing was adjourned shortly before 10:30 p.m. In all, the hearing lasted just short of 3 ½ hours.

When the hearing reconvenes at 7 p.m. Oct. 23, at Belvidere City Hall, advocates for change will offered the first opportunity to speak.

If no one else has anything to say the floor will be opened to those who are opposed to any changes in the regulations. At that point Mainstream Renewable Power, which is proposing an 8,000-acre wind farm in northeastern Boone County, is expected to be heard and offer details of what it has in mind. Most of the opponents of wind farms likely will be heard at this time as well.

At the Sept. 25 hearing 40 people signed up to speak, the majority of them being anti-wind farm. More than 100 people turned out for that session.
