Nixon said he wanted to ensure that commis sioners didn't ask ques tions during the presenta tion because of Concerns raised by the county at torney about the need for the county commission ers not to do anything that might compromise their impartiality during a quasi-judicial hearing on a conditional use permit for the wind energy project. In response to Nixon’s concerns. ( ommissioner Alex Kehayes said his understanding was that questions were accept able as long as they were of a general nature. Nixon made a motion to strike the Apex presen tation from the agenda. But Commissioner Em mett Winborne said he saw the presentation as an educational matter. He also said it was his under standing that the board had asked Apex to pres ent updates every few months on the status of the proposed wind energy project. Winborne said it was his view that Apex was a business client coming in and saying where the company stands on the project. Commissioner Greg Bonner said he agreed with Winborne and thought the item should remain on the agenda. Commissioner .John Mitchener said he didn't see what would be gained by taking the item off the agenda.

Nixon is the board's vice-chairman. Nixon’s motion failed 3-3 with only Nixon and Kehayes voting for it. During the public com ment period at the meet ing, four speakers ad dressed the board — all of them regarding some aspect ol the wind energy issue. Brian Ferraraceio, w ho is running for an at-large county commissioner seat as a Republican, said Denmark requires four times the total height as a setback for wind turbines. In addition, he said, Den mark requires compensa tion for property value loss that results from the construction of a wind energy facility. Denmark also allows only 10 hours of shadow flicker a year from wind turbines, compared with the 30 hours a year al lowed in Chowan’s cur rent wind energy ordi nance, Ferraraecio said. Kerraraccio asked why requests for changes to the wind energy ordi nance from the company. Apex, had been consid ered and approved, while citizen requests for ordi nance amendments had been looked down on. Hob Kirby said he is con cerned that the board was not listening to the advice of the county attorney and was concerned that-if the commissioners were not careful the condi tional use permit process for a wind energy facility could become tainted and the county could end up in court. “Please don't let that happen," Kirby said. Hon Herr said he lives in Kdenton and is invest ed in the town. He said be believes in alternate sources of energy and thinks that embracing al tentative energy makes the county look progres sive, which could attract other businesses. Hie county should be progressive and forward thinking, he said. Ron Cummings said natural gas is clean and very cheap. He said he is for any energy that doesn’t hurt the people, but believes wind energy will hurt the people. chowai/herald (IJSPS 106-380) Vol. fil.
