Ind. Law - Clinton County developing wind farm ordinance
Max Showalter reports today in the Lafayette Journal Courier:
FRANKFORT -- Members of the Clinton County Area Plan Commission Ordinance Review Committee spent some time Tuesday afternoon taking a close look at zoning regulations that govern potential wind farms in the county.The meeting held here is the first session the committee has had since several members toured an 87-turbine wind farm in Benton County that began generating electricity earlier this year.
Clinton County's wind farm ordinance borrows much of its content from the one that was crafted for Benton County.
"We're picking line by line, word for word, through our ordinance," said Curt Emanuel, president of the Clinton County Area Plan Commission.
"We're trying to insert language and different clauses that we feel are applicable for the county. We'll be meeting on this for a while."
Emanuel said the committee wants language in the zoning ordinance to protect land and the property rights of landowners.
