BAD AXE — On a 5-2 vote, the Huron County Board of Commissioners
approved a resolution to expand the Wind Energy Overlay District No. 1 in
McKinley Township, which will be for the expansion of the Harvest Wind
Farm that also will include Chandler and Oliver townships.
The resolution amends the zoning map by adding a wind energy facility
overlay district classification to land within Sections 35 and 36 in
McKinley Township, which is under county zoning regulations. Sections 35
and 36 are located between Campbell and Berne roads to the north and
south, and Caseville and Gagetown roads to the west and east.
Chandler and Oliver townships have their own zoning boards.
The two commissioners to oppose the resolution were Chairman Ron
Wruble and Financial Committee Chairman Dave Peruski.
In
an interview with the Huron Daily Tribune Wednesday, Peruski said the
primary reason why he voted no is because he believes the county’s
current noise ordinance for wind farms does not adequately protect
non-participating land owners. He believes the county’s noise ordinance
for wind farms is too lenient........
