Another Text Amendment on Wind—a half mile setback?

Mr. Cleverdon and Ms. Kenney submitted a text amendment proposal to Boone County which would drastically change the setback requirements--from the current 1,000 feet to over a half a mile --allowing for no variances. The effective set back for a 500 feet tower-- increased from 1,000 feet to 3,300 feet.

The only meeting which a member of the public will be guaranteed the opportunity to speak/testify is on January 27.

This case may well be rushed through because it is anticipated that Mainstream will have an application submitted for a project for the Northern part of the county this Spring. 
The major changes in the ordinance are on Page 1 and Page 4, Section 4.8.1—Purpose and Section 4.8.6.H Setbacks  See the Green highlight markings.
