Proposed wind law pulled from county meeting agenda
A proposed zoning law for wind development in Cape Vincent has been pulled from the Jefferson County Planning Board meeting’s agenda.
The county board meets Tuesday.
County senior planner Michael J. Bourcy said the town asked for the draft to be pulled this month.
At a town Planning Board meeting Wednesday night, the town made no recommendations on the draft law, saying information was missing. The Town Council canceled a public hearing scheduled for Monday.
Town Supervisor Thomas K. Rienbeck said Wednesday night that the town would put together a new draft, which the town Planning Board would evaluate before submitting it for a public hearing.
The county Planning Board also needs to see the proposed law before the council acts on it. The deadline for December submissions to the county board is Dec. 17, with the meeting Dec. 29.
