The board of commissioners voted to approve a temporary moratorium on new applications for wind projects.  This applies to further EON projects but not the juwi project that has already been approved.
​Recording of the Wind Discussion

The Board of Zoning Appeals hearing of the juwi application for the Prairie Breeze Wind Farm was held on March 20th.  After an eight hour meeting the board voted 3 to 2 to approve the application with two conditions.  The first condition was to increase the setbacks to 1,500 to the property line of the adjacent property not the living structure as was in the initial application.  The second condition requires juwi to create a proposal that will be approved bt the BZA that will guarantee the property values of the non-leasing residents.  Carroll Cohee, Robert Powell and Frank Zickmund voted yes on the application and Jerry Acres and Neil Planalp voted no.  Keep checking back...more to come.
