Councilmember Wise stated he thought it was redundant and counter-productive to put a wind <br />generator ordinance in place when it comes to setbacks of one and one-half times the height of <br />the tower and 1,000 feet from any adjacent residential unit. He stated he felt this was exorbitant <br />and most cities are not doing that type of setback. <br />Associate Planner Gladhill indicated that part of this whole process was the public input process <br />and research shows that noise and shadow flicker all the primary concerns and those concerns <br />appear to be mitigated once the structure is beyond 1,000 feet from any residence. <br />Motion by Councilmember Look, seconded by Councilmember Elvig, to introduce an ordinance <br />amending City Code to allow Wind Energy Conversion Systems as a conditional use in certain <br />zoning districts if listed under the individual zoning district. <br />Motion carried.
