-Maximian Height. 125 feet, including the system as a whole, from the base <br />to the highest point, <br />b) Setbacks. At least 1.25 times the height of the wind generator from any lot <br />line, shoreland overlay district boundary, and any utility lines and public <br />or private road way. A setback of at least 200 feet is required from any <br />principal structure on adjacent properties within the Rural Districts. <br />c) Rotors. Rotors or moving parts are required to be at least 30 feet above the <br />ground and 30 feet above any obstruction equal to its height from the base. <br />Rotor diameter shall not exceed 52 feet or a blade length of 26 feet. <br />d) Minimum Lot Size. There is no minimum lot size on which a wind <br />generator may be constructed unless there is more than one wind generator <br />per parcel, provided required setbacks are met. <br />e) Number. For parcels on which there are more than one wind generator, the <br />number of wind generators allowed is limited to one system per 5 acres, <br />and all systems must meet minimum setback requirements. <br />3. Specific Standards,for RoqflStrueture Mounted Systems. <br />a) Height. Subject to the maximum building height specified for the district <br />in which it is constructed. <br />b) Setbacks. Must be set back a distance equal to its height away from utility <br />lines, and the location must support the structure. <br />c) Rotors. Moving parts may not be located below the roof line on which the <br />system is mounted. <br />d) Number. The number of roof/structure mounted systems allowed is limited <br />to one system per building within rural districts and is limited to the <br />manufacturer's setback recommendations within commercial districts. <br />4General Standards. <br />a) Design, All turbines shall be commercially available and not prototype <br />turbines. Each wind generator shall be equipped with both a manual and <br />automatic braking device capable of stopping the operation in high winds. <br />No components unnecessary to the operation of the wind generator shall <br />be allowed. <br />b) Maintenance, Wind generators shall be inspected and maintained under <br />agreement or contract by the manufacturer or other qualified entity. The <br />owner of the wind generator must have the tower inspected by a licensed <br />qualified professional and submit to the City a report on the status and <br />condition of the wind generator. The times of inspection shall be specified <br />by the manufacture or at a minimum of every two (2) years.
