Town of Henderson Citizens' Wind
Zoning Committee Activities


The Henderson Wind Zoning Committee met on 1/16/2010.

It will meet hereafter every 2ND Friday at 1:00PM at the Town Meeting Hall (fire barn hall)-It will be open to a public comment period.

On 1/16/2010:

Town Supervisor Ray Walker addressed the group:

1. He requested the Committee add a Town Board Member to the group--- It was agreed that a Town Board member should attend and comment but would not be allowed a vote.

2. He requested the Committee to send regular reports to the Town Board---It was agreed that a summary of topics discussed would be presented.

3. He requested the Committee to advertise meetings (by advising the Town Clerk), of all planned meetings--- This was agreed to.

4. He requested all copy work to go through the Town Clerk- This was declined.

5. He stated that the Town Clerk would receive the final report of the Committee and make it available to Board Members , the Town Board would consider the Committee's proposals and then they would write the wind zoning laws. The Henderson Citizens' Wind Zoning Committee advised Mr. Walker that each Board Member would receive a copy of its complete proposal package and the Committee would then meet with the Board within two weeks to review the proposal. Mr. Walker did not commit to such an arrangement.

6. Mr. Walker gave no indication as to the Town Board's position on the Wind Laws---his comments as to his studies appeared to reflect a neutral or slightly pro-wind stance.

7. Mr Walker stated he felt that, as a Town appointed Citizens' Committee, we should only deal with the wind zoning laws. It was the decision of the Citizens' Wind Zoning Committee that the data supporting of our decisions should and would be made public.

The Henderson Citizens' Wind Zoning Committee will not address non-commercial wind turbines but will concentrate on on Commercial Wind Turbines. The recommendation of NO COMMERCIAL WIND TURBINES will be considered while at the same time formulating laws that will reflect the latest scientific evidence in support of the siting of commercial wind turbines. Siting will consider the effects on health, scenic views, tourism,and property values.
