A complete plan, drawn to scale, showing the design and location of the facility on the site;

The location of all structures, power lines or other utility lines within a radius equal to 150% of the proposed structure height from ground to tip of any rotating blades;

Dimensions and sizes of the various structural components of the support tower's construction;

Manufacturer's data sheets and such other information as may be necessary to fully describe the make, model, features, generating capacity of the proposed facilities and the manufacturer's installation specifications and recommendations.

Certification by a registered professional engineer or manufacturer's certification that the tower was designed to withstand wind load requirements for structures as set forth in the New York State Building Code.

No experimental, home-built, or prototype wind turbines shall be allowed without documentation by the applicant of their maximum probable blade throw distance in the event of failure, and a determination by the Planning Board of appropriate setback distances on the basis of that documentation.

Placement of facilities on site.

Setbacks. All portions of the facility, including support and accessory facilities, shall be set back a distance from all residential structures and property lines equal to 150% of the maximum height of the proposed facilities, including the maximum height of any rotating blades.

A maximum of one RWECS facility shall be permitted per parcel, except wind energy conversion systems for farms. Each parcel upon which a RWECS is located must include a principal used residential structure. A maximum of three RWECS facilities shall be allowed to support the agricultural purposes on any farm actively used for agricultural production.

Access control to facilities.

Signage. The type and placement of warning signs shall be determined on an individual basis as safety needs dictate. No advertising signs will be permitted.

Safety.

Color. Towers and rotating blades shall be painted white or gray or another nonreflective, unobtrusive color. No advertising or commercial logos or insignias may be visible on the structure(s).

Height. The RWECS shall not exceed the total minimum height established by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority ("NYSERDA") for grant funding at a wind speed of 10 miles per hour.

Noise. The level of noise produced during operation of a windmill shall not exceed 50 dba, as measured at the property lines owned by anyone other than the site owner, as those boundaries exist at the time of the special permit application. The applicant will be required to submit technical data proving such performance standard to the satisfaction of the Planning Board as to this requirement.

Lighting. No RWECS shall be artificially lighted, unless so required by the FAA.

Removal of vegetation. The construction of a RWECS shall only remove the natural vegetation necessary for the construction, operation, and maintenance of the system.

Abandonment. A RWECS, or any portion thereof, that is not used for 12 successive months shall be deemed abandoned and shall be dismantled and removed from the property at the expense of the property owner. Failure to abide by and faithfully comply with this section or with any and all conditions that may be attached to the granting of any permit for the facility shall constitute grounds for the revocation of all permit approvals by the Town. In addition, failure to remove an obsolete or unused facility in accordance with this section shall be a violation of this section. If said abandoned facility is not dismantled and removed within six months of abandonment, the Town may dismantle and remove said facility, and the cost of removing the facility shall be a lien of the property, and, if unpaid by the owner, said expense shall be added to the property owner's tax bill. Any and all structures, guy wires, cables and/or enclosures accessory to such facility shall also be removed. The site shall be restored to as natural a condition as possible.
