21 KIM HOLMES: This is a reminder that we
22 will be taking a break at about six o'clock, and
23 we will be closing for the night at about eight.
24 So, let's get started.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
675
1 MR. KEYT: Our first witness tonight is
2 Joe Adams. He's going to talk about drainage.
3 Very quickly run through the exhibits. We're
4 still trying to put them in order. We do have a
5 copy with Lisa, but the exhibits for tonight are
6 Exhibit 24 is a ComSearch update that Mr. Jimeno
7 did. Number 25 is also a ComSearch update from
8 Mr. Jimeno. 26 is a livestock map. 27 is maps of
9 the Unzicker facility that were in the
10 presentation by Mr. Underwood. We just blew them
11 up because they were very small in his
12 presentation.
13 28 is the complaint procedures form that
14 Chris will talk about. Number 29 is just a map of
15 the project footprint. 30 is a map of the T 21,
16 turbine 21 move. 31 is a memo regarding legal
17 standard. Number 32 is proposed findings for the
18 special use. Number 33 is proposed findings for
19 the variances. Number 34 is Mr. Green's power
20 point that we will be getting to here shortly.
21 Number 35 is Joe Adams drainage power point, which
22 I think is up on the screen. Number 36 is an
23 updated sound study from the turbine moves.
24 Number 37 is updated shadow flicker for the
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
676
1 turbine moves. Number 38 are letters in support,
2 number 39 are signatures in support. With that,
3 I will turn it over to Mr. Adams.
4 KIM HOLMES: All right. Mr. Adams,
5 please speak closely into the microphone. Say
6 your name, spell it, and then your address,
7 please.
8 MR. ADAM: Joe Adams. J-O-E.
9 A-D-A-M-S. And address is 1939 Deer Lane,
10 Washington, Illinois.
11 KIM HOLMES: All right. Thank you.
12 Would you rather be sworn in or affirmed.
13 (Witness sworn.)
14 MR. ADAM: Good evening again. My name
15 is Joe Adams. As talked about, my plan today is
16 to talk briefly in a little more depth on the
17 drainage features of the proposed project. I'm
18 going to start with the improvements within the
19 public right-of-way. Then move on to project
20 features, off public right-of-way on private
21 property, and then finish with some discussions on
22 the plan for construction.
23 So one item to note right up front, just
24 like any component of the public right-of-way
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
677
1 improvements, these would be performed in
2 accordance with the road use agreement. So we are
3 required to follow the rules set forth in that.
4 Those would include designing in accordance with
5 the Illinois Drainage Manual procedures. It would
6 include utilizing IDOT-approved construction
7 materials and construction methods.
8 And then just in general what that looks
9 like are two different things. First would be
10 pipe culverts underneath the existing township or
11 county roadways. That's kind of indicated on the
12 two pictures at the bottom of the slide. And then
13 the other component of drainage features typically
14 seen on these projects are the culverts underneath
15 the new private access roads, similar to existing
16 field entrances you see out there today.
17 Again, our intent when we design these
18 is to match the existing drainage patterns and
19 flow lines as close as existing to possible. So
20 that's kind of the first and foremost component of
21 our design, as well as the requirements set forth
22 in the drainage manual.
23 Moving on to private roadway
24 improvements. As we build the access roads to get
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
678
1 to the turbines, one part of those is our intent
2 again is to match the existing contours as
3 smoothly as possible. If the existing water flows
4 over the field from left to right, we tend to put
5 those access roads in to allow that same process
6 to happen.
7 Occasionally we do encounter drainage
8 ways into the field. We will accommodate those
9 either by a low water crossing, which are a couple
10 photos you can see here. Or even pipe culverts if
11 that is what is needed. Again, the intent of the
12 photos here is to show how those designs generally
13 follow the contours of the existing topography if
14 at all possible. There may be a vent that we're
15 nearby, any sensitive environmental features, we
16 would coordinate with the local soil and water
17 conservation districts as well.
18 And I think it was noted on
19 presentations earlier, any drain tile issues that
20 we would encounter we'd reach out to the local
21 landowner and their preferred contractor to
22 address those if at all possible.
23 Another component of the private
24 development side of these projects would be a
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
679
1 substation, kind of an upgrade to the electrical
2 system to accommodate the power. Any development
3 like that, or a new operations and maintenance
4 facility would be treated as kind of a separate
5 development project. And any detention or
6 retention components of that would be in
7 accordance with the county procedures.
8 A couple examples, these are all photos
9 taken a couple days ago of ongoing projects that
10 had some of those detention components. Again,
11 those are all very county requirement specific as
12 well as then site specific on what kinds of
13 treatments or methods we use to meet the goals of
14 whatever ordinances are out there.
15 And then finally during construction,
16 part of the project development will be the
17 development of a storm water pollution prevention
18 plan. An SWPPP. That's required for as part of
19 the permitting process, both with the county, as
20 well as the IEPA. A SWPPP document is intended to
21 show the practices intended to control erosion
22 within the construction site.
23 What that mostly means is we're trying
24 to keep any disturbed soil on the site and prevent
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
680
1 it from going off on to other properties and to
2 other drainage ditches further downstream. So, I
3 threw a couple slides up there of typical best
4 practices for erosion control that you will likely
5 see as part of this project, including silt fence,
6 some riprap placements, some seeding and ditch
7 checks. Very brief presentation for me here
8 tonight. That's all I have. I would welcome any
9 questions anyone may have.
10 KIM HOLMES: I have a question. Kim
11 Holmes. Now, you will be filing a storm water
12 pollution prevention plan with the county, is that
13 correct?
14 MR. ADAMS: Yeah, the SWPPP is a document
15 that is submitted in concurrence with the building
16 permit as far as the county is concerned. It also
17 is submitted with the notice of intent document to
18 the IEPA.
19 KIM HOLMES: Okay. Thank you.
20 TERESA GAUGER: Teresa Gauger ZBA. With
21 your erosion control practice, once the ingress
22 and egress are removed after the construction,
23 will there still be some form of erosion control
24 in place with having disturbed the soil?
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
681
1 MR. ADAMS: Most of the pictures you see
2 on the slide are temporary features. The idea is
3 that that work is during construction and then the
4 site is seeded and restored back to its natural
5 condition before these components are removed.
6 But generally they are removed after the project,
7 yes.
8 TERESA GAUGER: Okay.
9 KIM HOLMES: Are there any other members
10 of the board that have questions of Mr. Adams?
11 MARTY CLINCH: Yes, Mr. Adams, Marty
12 Clinch, ZBA. I did not get on the screen your
13 photos of the erosion control on the private
14 entrance and under the roads.
15 The question I've got is, when you
16 improve a road with a culvert or a water drainage
17 system, will that remain after the project is
18 done?
19 MR. ADAMS: Just a second, Marty. After
20 some technical things I will answer.
21 Okay. So the question was, were the
22 drainage improvements permanent or temporary? The
23 drainage improvements would remain in after the
24 project. So, the slide that hopefully you can see
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
682
1 now shows culverts underneath both the county and
2 township roads as well as access roads. Those
3 would remain in place, yes.
4 MARTY CLINCH: Okay. And the road
5 improvements, will there be any changes on the
6 road surfaces that are over the top of these
7 culvert and drainage systems after the project is
8 complete?
9 MR. ADAMS: We tend to design drainage
10 features to keep the existing elevation as close
11 to existing as we can and not create bumps. We do
12 need a certain amount of cover over these pipe
13 culverts for us to drive on. Sometimes that's
14 more cover than what's out there now.
15 But the roadway surface itself would be
16 seal coated after the project is completed.
17 MARTY CLINCH: Very good. Thank you.
18 That's all I've got.
19 KIM HOLMES: Are there any other members
20 of the board that have questions? No? Mr. Keyt,
21 did you have a question?
22 MR. KEYT: I don't have any questions.
23 KIM HOLMES: I'm going to ask any
24 interested parties at this time, if they have any
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
683
1 questions for Mr. Adams? Seeing no indication of
2 anyone wishing to ask questions, thank you, Mr.
3 Adams.
4 (Witness excused.)
5 MR. KEYT: Our next witness is Ryan
6 Moore. And I believe he is appearing on the zoom.
7 KIM HOLMES: All right. Is Mr. Moore
8 available? I can't see him. Is he? Okay. If
9 you would please state your name, spell your name,
10 and let us know what your address is.
11 MR. MOORE: My name is Ryan Moore.
12 R-Y-A-N. M-O-O-R-E. Address is 1926 County Road,
13 2000 East and that is in Minonk.
14 KIM HOLMES: Mr. Moore, would you rather
15 be affirmed or sworn in.
16 (Witness affirmed.)
17 MR. MOORE: Just recently I moved to
18 this location a year and a half ago, knowing that
19 there are windmills in the area currently. And
20 had no problem whatsoever with them. I've seen
21 windmills for quite sometime now and have no
22 problems with windmills.
23 (Whereupon there was a technical
24 difficulty and the hearing was temporarily
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
684
1 delayed.)
2 KIM HOLMES: Okay. Mr. Moore, is it
3 possible for you to just start your presentation
4 over again. We lost you there for quite a while.
5 So I would appreciate it.
6 MR. MOORE: Sure. So, as I was saying,
7 we just bought and moved to our place there
8 outside of Minonk a year and a half ago knowing
9 there were windmills currently in the area right
10 next to our property. Having no issues with that.
11 I've always seen windmills for several years now
12 and had no issues with them.
13 So, we support the project. We have no
14 problem whatsoever.
15 KIM HOLMES: Okay. This is Kim Holmes.
16 You mentioned that you moved here a year and a
17 half ago in the footprint of the wind farm. I
18 would assume it's the Minonk wind farm?
19 MR. MOORE: Yes, that's correct.
20 KIM HOLMES: Okay. And then my question
21 is, you mentioned that you have lived among other
22 turbines for several years. Did you live in the
23 footprint of a wind farm project previous to
24 moving to Minonk?
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
685
1 MR. MOORE: No, this is the first time
2 I've lived next to a windmill farm. Where I
3 worked there's a windmill farm just outside of
4 town there so I've driven past windmills for a few
5 years now. So that's what I meant by the several
6 years of windmills in the past.
7 KIM HOLMES: Okay. Thank you. Does the
8 board have any questions for Mr. Moore? Okay. I
9 see no questions from the board. Do any of the
10 interested parties have any questions of Mr.
11 Moore? I don't see any indication of that. Thank
12 you, Mr. Moore.
13 MR. MOORE: Your welcome. Thank you.
14 (Witness excused.)
15 KIM HOLMES: All right. Mr. Keyt, do
16 you have your next witness?
17 MR. KEYT: Yes. Mr. Green is the last
18 witness. He's going to touch on a few things. He
19 will be it for us.
20 KIM HOLMES: Chris, you've already been
21 sworn in.
22 CHRIS GREEN: Yes, ma'am. Lisa, is this
23 sharing right here? How do we do that?
24 KIM HOLMES: And I would just ask you
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
686
1 when you're ready to go ahead say your name, spell
2 it for the record.
3 CHRIS GREEN: It's Chris Green.
4 C-H-R-I-S. Last name G-R-E-E-N. All right.
5 Once again, thanks for all the time that
6 everyone has put in to this. I know it's been a
7 substantial amount of time and not something you
8 necessarily want to do. So, I greatly appreciate
9 it. I know the community appreciates it. So
10 thank you very much. I'll try to keep mine here
11 pretty brief.
12 The majority of what I've got to present
13 here is just cleaning up some items that have been
14 discussed. Answering some, I think unanswered
15 questions that were brought up. And then just
16 kind of go into some, I would say more higher
17 level items that I think need to be considered in
18 making a judgment on this project.
19 So, first thing is the final layout.
20 So, as we've discussed, I think it was in the last
21 hearing, we agreed to relocate turbine T 21, the
22 revised application for that has been printed out.
23 It should be in your exhibits. And we did, I
24 e-mailed them electronically to Lisa, so that is
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
687
1 the application, as well as the revised location
2 map.
3 Turbines 45 and 46 have been removed,
4 along with turbines 61, 62, 63 and 64. I think it
5 was last Tuesday we were discussing the relocation
6 of turbine 61. At this point we've decided to
7 remove that turbine. So, 45, 46, 61, 62, 63 and
8 64 have been removed.
9 And that's what's shown here on this,
10 the revised project overview map. You can see the
11 X's on the turbines that we removed. You can see
12 a red X on them, just denoting that those have
13 been removed. And then just turbine 21 was
14 relocated to the neighboring parcel.
15 Turbine 21, it's all in the same
16 landowner, just a separate parcel. It's on Mr.
17 Roth's, Harold Roth's property.
18 Also, what was submitted today as well
19 as in the exhibits are updated shadow flicker
20 studies, as well as the sound study. And the
21 communications interference studies. So basically
22 any study that was turbine site dependent we
23 updated. You will see obviously the sound, shadow
24 and communications interference; there are no
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
688
1 negative impacts because we removed turbines and
2 just relocated one. So there are no negative
3 impacts with that.
4 The next thing that we submitted, which
5 I think is a very powerful document. So we
6 discussed, you know, over the past four nights of
7 hearings a lot of this has been about the safety
8 of the wind turbines, which I think as you have
9 heard in the evidence, these wind turbines are
10 very safe. There's 57,000 wind turbines in the
11 country. It is a very highly, highly visible
12 industry. So, if there were health issues, you
13 would definitely hear about it. It would be
14 headline news.
15 But, on top of that, on top of there
16 being an extremely low, low, low risk that there
17 ever is an issue, the project has also provided an
18 operational complaint resolution document to
19 whereby it states, if there is a flicker issue of
20 us exceeding 30 hours, we will resolve it. We
21 will respond within 24 hours. And that can be
22 determined by either the zoning administrator or
23 the operator, Panther Grove. So it's not just to
24 be determined by us. If the zoning administrator
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
689
1 determines this, that there's an exceedance, we
2 will curtail that turbine. Same goes with noise.
3 If there is a noise complaint, a valid noise
4 complaint, we will respond within 24 hours. Same
5 goes with communications interference. If there's
6 a communications interference complaint, we will
7 respond to that within 24 hours, and fix the
8 issue. Once again, the analysis of which can be
9 proved by the zoning administrator or Panther
10 Grove.
11 Key thing being is, if there is an
12 analysis performed, no matter if the county
13 performs it or Panther Grove performs it, Panther
14 Grove pays for that assessment. So, the
15 assessment will be paid for by Panther Grove.
16 Ice throw or blade failures. For the
17 extremely low chance that something were to happen
18 to someone's property from a blade failure, or an
19 ice throw, we will cease operations until an
20 analysis is performed on that blade or on that ice
21 throw incident.
22 Also, along these lines we're going to
23 fully comply with all of the conditions in the
24 ordinance, but specifically I believe it's the
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
690
1 last condition in the WECS ordinance that
2 discusses complaint resolution, in that we have to
3 maintain a project phone line with a recording
4 machine. The recording machine will have live
5 access for the county, as well as the project, so
6 that the county can listen to any of these
7 complaints in real time. There's many on-line
8 voice mail machines now that you can use, that
9 effectively any time you get a voice mail you'll
10 get an e-mail sent to you.
11 We can have that e-mail sent directly to
12 the county at the same time that we would get the
13 complaint in real time. Then everything would be
14 documented accordingly.
15 The next thing is just a quick snippet
16 out of, this is GE's recommended setbacks. We
17 briefly discussed this with Mr. Lutjens last time
18 we were here. You can see GE, this is the largest
19 wind turbine manufacturer in the US. I think
20 definitely top three. I forgot where they are in
21 the world.
22 But their recommendations, once again,
23 they're not saying that an issue would occur, but
24 their setback recommendations to mitigate any
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
691
1 blade failure, ice throw, any issue, their
2 recommendation is 1.1 times the tip height.
3 Which, got this next slide.
4 So, this is just some stats on
5 residences. So we don't have a single house,
6 whether you're signed or unsigned, within a
7 thousand feet. And then if you remember, you can
8 barely see this here on the right, this is the
9 analysis that was performed by Persimia for the
10 ice throw. I forget the exact stats, but it was
11 something, I think to the tune of one in 300,000
12 years was the chance of a piece of ice could
13 actually hit a house beyond a thousand feet. But
14 what you can see is as you get further away from
15 the turbine the chances that a piece of ice, which
16 I think the average weight was somewheres around
17 two pounds, the chance basically goes away once --
18 as you get beyond the 1.1. And definitely once
19 you get beyond 1,000 feet.
20 And you can see we have no unsigned
21 residences within 2,500 feet, which basically
22 makes that a zero percent chance of an ice or
23 blade hitting an unsigned house. And there's no
24 houses closer than 1,000 feet; only 19 at 1,200
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
692
1 feet. And only 26 houses, signed houses, within
2 1,500 feet.
3 So, you layer in the chances of an
4 incident actually occurring, a blade failure
5 actually occurring, or ice throw actually
6 occurring. That chance in itself is extremely,
7 extremely low. Then you layer on top of that the
8 setbacks that are incorporated in this project.
9 And then on top of that, take our agreement, put
10 that on top of all of these extremely low, low
11 chances, and I would say this project is very,
12 very, very safe.
13 Other thing just to keep in mind, I've
14 discussed this in my last presentation, just keep
15 in mind the large amount of project participation.
16 I know when we set out to lease land back in
17 August of '18, since then we have leased 32,000
18 acres of land. I would say in my ten-year tenure
19 of doing this, this has been one of the smoother
20 leasing activities that I've taken part in, in
21 both from the land standpoint as well as the
22 residential standpoint.
23 So, I believe the community out there
24 that farms that land and lives out on that land is
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
693
1 for the vast majority favorable towards the
2 project. And I think that's evident by the amount
3 of participation that we received in the leasing
4 process.
5 Just quick stats once again, 145
6 different residences signed up. 47 of those
7 houses are folks that have wind turbines on
8 property that they own. Or excuse me, 47 of those
9 145 residences are participating landowners such
10 that they signed up a wind lease. Not all of them
11 are receiving wind turbines. And then 98 of those
12 145 residences just signed waivers. So they don't
13 have wind leases. They just signed waivers on
14 their houses.
15 I think we had already discussed,
16 there's no turbines closer than 1,000 feet, and
17 the vast majority are actually further than 1,500
18 feet. Also, 60 percent, so the majority of the
19 residences is located within one mile of a project
20 turbine are signed up. That's 60 percent of them.
21 83 percent of the residences within what we're
22 calling the footprint are signed up. And then as
23 mentioned earlier, 100 percent of the residences
24 within 2,500 feet of a turbine are signed up.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
694
1 Real quick, also another thing, this
2 gets back to just a low likelihood of a failure to
3 occur, a blade failure. These blades go through
4 extensive design and testing. I will say I'm not
5 a blade expert, but this is the list of all of the
6 various certifications that these blades have to
7 go through in their design and testing.
8 A couple of just quick clean up items,
9 things that were brought up throughout the
10 hearing. Most coming from the board. Back on the
11 19th, Mr. Lay asked a question to Terry about if
12 Panther Grove compensated IDNR for their project
13 recommendations. That is absolutely, we did not.
14 IDNR wrote their recommendations on their own
15 accord. We don't compensate government bodies for
16 their rulings.
17 Next one, there's some inferences about
18 consultants being compensated maybe for a
19 favorable report. All of these consultants are
20 professionals. They're respected within the
21 industry. And they're also respected within the
22 government bodies that they work with. For
23 instance, Terry Vandewalle has got a very good
24 reputation with IDNR as well as the US Fish and
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
695
1 Wildlife. He's also a professor. So what he
2 produces is what's out there. That's the truth.
3 He's not here to write unfavorable or favorable
4 reports for us. He's here to write reports that
5 are truthful. And he does that not just because
6 it's his job to do that; and we don't hire him
7 just to do that for permitting. We also hire him
8 to do that for financing these projects.
9 This project will be close to a half a
10 billion dollar project, and no bank in their right
11 mind is going to write a check of that amount
12 unless they are 100 percent certain that there's
13 not going to be a safety issue.
14 The project is designed properly. The
15 project has all the permitting that they need.
16 That there's not an environmental risk. They're
17 just simply not going to write a check that large
18 unless this project is de-risked. And the best
19 way to do that is to hire independent consultants
20 to do independent analysis. And that's what we
21 did here.
22 There was another inference about the
23 wind industry keeping safety health concerns,
24 incidents, close to the chest, I think was the
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
696
1 inference. Once again, these are obviously wind
2 turbines. They are fairly large. It is a highly
3 political industry and a very visible industry.
4 If there are real concerns, health concerns, real
5 environmental concerns, you will definitely hear
6 about it. It's not something you can just sweep
7 under the rug.
8 There's been a lot of studies performed
9 by professionals. And all of the results,
10 legitimate results, show that there are no real
11 safety concerns, no real environmental concerns
12 with these projects.
13 And keep in mind, there are 57,000 wind
14 turbines in this country. There's 380,000 of them
15 worldwide. So, got a pretty big test pool out
16 there to test. And to legitimize any real
17 concerns. And to date, there hasn't been any.
18 On the 3rd, Teresa asked about and Mr.
19 Lay asked about these two TV stations. That was a
20 mistake by ComSearch's report. Those two stations
21 were missed in the report. Those were the only
22 two stations that were missed. Not sure how they
23 missed them. But, all TV stations are to be
24 registered with the FCC. And that is where they
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
697
1 get their data from. Now, how they missed it, I
2 don't know. But they went back and triple
3 checked, that was the only two stations that were
4 missed. They reported that one of them is 39
5 kilometers away and the other one is 16 kilometers
6 away, so their analysis still holds that there
7 shouldn't be an issue, particularly with those two
8 towers given their distance and being further than
9 3 kilometers away. In the exhibit there they
10 wrote a quick memo summarizing their mistake. And
11 also summarizing that their report still holds up.
12 There also were some instances made in
13 here that you shouldn't take into account the
14 positive economic impact, be it tax revenue or
15 land owner payments. This is just simply false.
16 I think that evidence was provided as well by Andy
17 on the 3rd. Mr. Lay asked a question about
18 decommissioning impacts on the Mendota Hills
19 project. Jeff Kopp presented that night and
20 couldn't speak to it. I was the developer on that
21 project, so I can. I actually managed that
22 project when it was operational. And then I
23 developed the repowering of it, which basically
24 meant we tore down all 63 machines, and put up 27
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
698
1 new ones. And then we went back and refurbished
2 all of the access roads. And where we took the
3 foundations and towers out, we refurbished that
4 back.
5 If you go look at it now, you couldn't
6 see the areas where the roads were and where the
7 existing turbines were. We backfilled everything
8 with black dirt to the level of pH testing the
9 dirt. All of the soil was evaluated by the
10 landowners. So, there were no impacts from that
11 project. I actually have another slide on that I
12 want to discuss about that project here a little
13 bit later in the presentation.
14 And just once again, there were kind of
15 the typical stories that you hear in these
16 hearings, which I would classify as fear
17 mongering. Things that you read on the Internet
18 that simply aren't true. Unfortunately, if you
19 don't like something, you can just get on the
20 Internet and find a reason to not like it. The
21 unfortunate thing is that it's not truth. All
22 legitimate sources point that there are no health,
23 safety or environmental issues with this project.
24 Excuse me, not just this project, but
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
699
1 with the wind industry.
2 This next slide too is closing out an
3 item that was kind of brought up. I believe in
4 the last hearing it was about impacts more to
5 animals, and more in line with livestock. So what
6 we did is we created this map where we mapped all
7 of the livestock areas that are within one mile of
8 the project. You will note that there are only
9 two, there's quite a few hog and turkey
10 confinements, and a few livestock pens, be it
11 they're housing horses or cattle.
12 But, there are only two locations within
13 a mile of a turbine that are not owned by signed
14 participants. In those two there are very small
15 pins, one of which I believe houses a couple of
16 horses, and the other one is a small pin that
17 houses a few head of cattle. Outside of that, we
18 are not aware of any other livestock areas within
19 the project footprint.
20 So, there's just not a lot of livestock
21 here. There's a lot of livestock in the state of
22 Iowa where there also is a whole lot of wind
23 turbines and there continues to be a lot of wind
24 turbine development there. But there's obviously
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
700
1 a lot of dairy going on in that state. But they
2 continue to still develop projects.
3 Another just kind of rounding out on the
4 wildlife IDNR and about the studies that we
5 performed. I think the key thing, one key thing
6 to note there, these studies were voluntary
7 studies. They're not necessarily, or let me take
8 that back; how we perform them are voluntary and
9 they are actually quite a bit more stringent than
10 what most folks would do. But we're following US
11 Fish's guidelines. This gets back to performing
12 due diligence, not just for the county and the
13 community, but also for financing the project.
14 You'll note the one item that we still
15 have not completed yet is performing the two years
16 of large bird and Eagle use surveys. That is set
17 to be complete in May 2021. What we've committed
18 to doing there is we will provide that data to the
19 IDNR after we're done, and we will have them do a
20 bring down letter, basically confirming their
21 initial assessment using the complete two year's
22 worth of our data. We will also submit that
23 letter to the county as well.
24 Another thing too, back to just bird
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
701
1 mortality. I think you have to put this in
2 context. So there are 57,000 wind turbines in the
3 country. It's estimated that those 57,000 have
4 taken somewheres around 328,000 birds. I will say
5 as you get more towards the west, and also in
6 areas that have more habitat, also in say like
7 Pennsylvania and areas where there's a lot of
8 trees, those numbers are going to be higher than
9 here. We simply don't have a lot of habitat in
10 this project, mainly due to it all being farmland
11 and we're way away from the Mackinaw River. We're
12 away from the Panther Grove watershed area at the
13 recommendation of IDNR. So we're in just pure
14 crop land. So there's very little bird habitat
15 there.
16 But, I think you need to keep this in
17 context of other every day items such as
18 buildings. It's estimated that buildings kill 676
19 million birds. Pesticide poisoning, 72 million
20 birds. Cars kill 214 million birds. Power lines
21 kill 32 million. And then one could argue just
22 deforestation for crop land, obviously we need
23 food production. But obviously that in itself
24 takes quite a bit of habitat away too.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
702
1 And I think you layer all that on top of
2 the environmental benefits that the project
3 provides. I think the benefits from an
4 environmental perspective far, far outweigh the
5 very minor issue that a few birds may be taken.
6 And keep in mind, the three years of
7 post-construction monitoring that we have to
8 perform with IDNR to where they're going to be
9 monitoring this as well.
10 So, this is a slide I was mentioning
11 about the Mendota Hills repower project. I just
12 bring this up because I think it's a good
13 testament of the industry and how safe it is. And
14 how it's not as bad as you might read some horror
15 story on the Internet.
16 And the reason I bring it up is Mendota
17 Hills was the first wind project constructed in
18 the state. It was constructed in 2001, was built
19 just right up the interstate on I-39. Two miles
20 northeast of Compton, Illinois. Pretty similar
21 setting as the Panther Grove project.
22 It was constructed with 63 small
23 turbines, .8 megawatt Gamesa turbines. Those are
24 the only .8 megawatt machines in the entire
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
703
1 country. And it wasn't designed very well because
2 it was the first project in the state and it was
3 an early project. So it got to the point where it
4 just wasn't making money. So we came in with new
5 machines, 27 new machines, that outproduced those
6 63 about three to one with those 27 new machines.
7 But, the lessons learned from that were,
8 so we had to go out and get new leases from all of
9 the landowners. You couldn't just use the
10 existing lease because we'd of run out of term.
11 We had to add additional term. We were at like 15
12 year in that existing lease and you need at least
13 a 25 year term for a new project.
14 So we needed to sign new leases with the
15 landowners. All of the landowners had no issue
16 signing up again for the project. So if they had
17 farming issues, or the turbines were too noisy for
18 them, or they were having health issues or any
19 issue, they would have said, absolutely not. Get
20 this machine off my property. I never want to see
21 it again. You can take it down immediately.
22 That did not occur at that project.
23 They all signed right back up. And quite frankly,
24 most of them when we asked them hey, do you want
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
704
1 us to keep your access road, do you want us to
2 take your access road out? A lot of them wanted
3 to keep it 'cuz they got used to farming around
4 it, they got used to using that access road for
5 their farming practice.
6 So, the argument might be made that some
7 of the facilities you put in these wind projects
8 can actually help the farming.
9 The other thing is we had to get a new
10 special use permit for that project, just like the
11 process we're going through right here. We had to
12 come back in and say hey, community, this project
13 has been here for 15 years. We want to tear it
14 down and we want to rebuild a new one right in its
15 place. If -- same thing. If there were horror
16 stories, if there were health issues and birds
17 dying left and right and all these things that you
18 may read on the Internet were true with that
19 project, they would have said no, we're going to
20 come and we're going to fight this project and
21 we're not going to approve it.
22 There was no opposition. The project
23 got passed quickly. They constructed the project.
24 It's operating, operating right now.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
705
1 The other key thing to note there too is
2 just the refurbishment, and the amount of detail
3 that went into that. And how you can take a
4 project down, take its facilities out, backfill
5 where there were facilities. And re-farm that
6 property just like it was never there. And that's
7 happening right now as well.
8 Like I said, we had to get into the pH
9 level of the soil. You had to really specify the
10 soil that you were placing and this was all done
11 with the landowners being present. But, you go
12 look at that project. There was 63 turbines. Now
13 there's 27 and they're farming right where those
14 turbines used to be and right where those roads
15 used to be. So, I think it's a very good
16 testament. It's also one of the -- I know it's
17 obviously the only modern day utility scale
18 project to get repowered in Illinois. I think
19 it's probably one of the first five to get
20 repowered in the entire country.
21 And the other thing we learned out of
22 that is what the true decommissioning cost was,
23 and that came out somewheres around $55,000 a
24 turbine for that project. That's real numbers and
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
706
1 salvage there was included.
2 Once again, we're not saying that we
3 have to include it, but it was included there, and
4 it is a real asset to the decommissioning.
5 Real quick just a quick update on the
6 road use agreement. We have agreed to terms on
7 the road use agreement. We should have it signed
8 prior to the county board hearing on December 15th
9 if we can get all this done in time. The plan is
10 to have it signed prior to the county board's
11 hearing on the 15th. A couple of key items there.
12 One of which, so we agreed to a $35,000 per
13 turbine permit fee. So, at 80 turbines that's 2.8
14 million. $20,000 of that goes to -- $20,000 per
15 turbine of that goes to the township road
16 authorities. $15,000 of that per turbine goes to
17 the county, the county road district.
18 So, a sizeable permit fee, and this is
19 before we actually come in and repair the roads.
20 On top of paying the permit fee, we will also be
21 performing preconstruction and post-construction
22 road repairs. All of the repairs will have to be
23 approved by the road authorities as well. Also,
24 we will have to warrant the roads as well during
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
707
1 operation. So we will have to fix any of the
2 roads in operation. And we're also going to be
3 paying an operations fee on the roads as well.
4 And that is on top of the property tax revenue
5 that goes to the road districts. We're going to
6 be -- we've agreed to an operations fee whereby
7 we're paying the townships and the county a fee to
8 use those roads every year.
9 Once again, new road agreement will be
10 required for a repowering or decommissioning
11 event. Another just kind of high level slide, I
12 think to kind of keep in mind, just from being a
13 reasonableness standpoint.
14 So since 2000, basically the industry
15 went from effectively zero megawatts of wind, zero
16 utility scale wind turbines, and obviously there
17 were a few projects in 2000. But, less than a
18 thousand megawatts. Went from that to now 111,000
19 megawatts. It's now 7.2 percent of the capacity,
20 US power production capacity. That's 57,000 wind
21 turbines. During that same period Illinois went
22 from zero megawatts, zero turbines now to almost
23 5900 megawatts. That is 7.6 percent of the
24 capacity of wind in the state; or excuse me, 7.6
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
708
1 percent of the power generation capacity in the
2 state, and roughly 2,900 wind turbines.
3 And the reason I state these stats once
4 again is just if all of these horror stories were
5 true, this industry would not grow to the level
6 that it is, given how highly visible the industry
7 is. It just simply, if there were real health
8 concerns or real environmental concerns, it just
9 wouldn't -- simply wouldn't grow at this rate. I
10 just ask that you keep that in mind in making your
11 decision.
12 Once again, along those lines it's safe.
13 But also it wouldn't grow if it wasn't profitable
14 as well.
15 Special use permits summary. This is to
16 kind of get back and to summarize the requests.
17 So, we're down to 80 turbines now. So that's 80
18 special use permit applications for 80 turbines.
19 21 has been relocated to a neighboring parcel.
20 That parcel is owned by the same landowner.
21 Turbines 45, 46, 61, 62, 63 and 64 were all
22 removed. And we're just requesting the approval
23 for two turbine options. We will be installing
24 the same turbine make, model and size throughout
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
709
1 the project. But we're just requesting the GE
2 158, it's got a tip height of 612 feet. And then
3 the Vestas V-150, it's got two height options.
4 One being 591 and the other one being 640. I will
5 say the 640 is a more economical solution for the
6 project. We did remove the Nordex machine from
7 the application. So, once again, just two turbine
8 options is all we're requesting approval for.
9 Back to the sizes here. So there are a
10 few locations that are capped in their heights.
11 And if we go above these heights that are listed
12 here, we simply will not be placing turbines there
13 'cuz we are going to be placing the same size
14 throughout. Turbine locations 76 and 86, the only
15 turbine option that we could place there would be
16 the V-150 at that 591 height. So, if we go above
17 that, we won't be placing a turbine there.
18 Same goes with 23, 34, 54 and 81. If we
19 go above 591, we won't be placing a turbine there.
20 So, effectively turbine locations 76, 86, 23, 34,
21 54 and 81, the only turbine that we can install
22 there would be the Vestas V-150 at the 591 height.
23 If we don't use that turbine at that height, those
24 locations we will not be able to install a turbine
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
710
1 there with this application.
2 We also request in your, when you're
3 analyzing it, if there's a certain location that
4 you don't like or for whatever reason don't
5 approve, we ask that you recognize that we
6 submitted individual permit applications. So,
7 this is not a permit as a whole. This is 80
8 separate permits applications, and then two O&M
9 buildings, two options for an O&M building. So if
10 there's a particular turbine that is of concern,
11 we ask that you strike that particular turbine and
12 not the project as a whole.
13 But we also ask in doing so just keep in
14 mind these figures here. These economic figures.
15 So each of those turbines it's estimated to pay
16 somewheres around $43,000 a year per turbine to
17 the landowner. And that's per year throughout the
18 30 year life. And then that's 1.2 million dollars
19 to that landowner for that one turbine over 30
20 years. And then the property tax payment for a
21 single turbine in this project is estimated to be
22 around close to $56,000 per year in year one. And
23 then 1.1 million per turbine over 30 years in
24 property tax revenue.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
711
1 So, just keep those numbers in mind if
2 there are certain turbines that you're not
3 comfortable with.
4 Also, there are two applications in here
5 for the O&M buildings option. One of which was to
6 construct a new building at the substation area.
7 The more economical solution that I think we're
8 more primed to do would be to refurbish an
9 existing property there in northern Clayton
10 Township that kind of has everything that we would
11 need for our O&M building, lay down area and
12 office area for the project.
13 Real quick, the variance summary. So
14 there are 16 turbines that would require a
15 variance. The variances are subject to language
16 within Section 31 of the ordinance; that we
17 believe we have satisfied the requirements to meet
18 acceptance of the variances. But once again, same
19 goes with the permits. If there was a particular
20 turbine of those 16 turbines that you believe Mr.
21 Unzicker might not be comfortable with, or you're
22 not comfortable with, we ask that you eliminate
23 that particular turbine, or not approve that
24 particular turbine rather than all 16.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
712
1 I will say in talking with Mr. Unzicker,
2 the only turbine that is of any sort of concern to
3 him, which you can see as well in looking at his
4 approach, departures, landings, or excuse me, and
5 emergency procedures, the only one that is even
6 remotely on his radar, which once again he did say
7 is not a safety concern to him, but the only one
8 would be turbine 25 that is off to the south, that
9 would be southwest. Immediately to the southwest
10 of his property. And that's just simply that that
11 one is the closest one to his procedures and how
12 he flies in and out of that airstrip. That would
13 be the only one that is on his radar, I would say.
14 Two of the special use factors, I'm not
15 going to go down this for very long. Most of this
16 is going to be addressed by Andy here at the
17 close. But, we believe the evidence we presented,
18 I think we have illustrated enough evidence to
19 prove that the project will not be detrimental to
20 the public health, safety and welfare. We discuss
21 the blade, ice throw, wind turbine tower
22 incidents. We also discussed that the wind
23 turbine syndrome is not real. There's no
24 communication issues expected due to the project
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
713
1 location and turbine siting. And if there was, we
2 will mitigate it at our expense.
3 We will be in compliance with the noise
4 and IPCB regulations. And once again, another
5 assurance that we provided here is this operations
6 complaint procedure document that's been provided
7 tonight, should there be this extreme chance that
8 one of these incidents occur. We also are only
9 using 84 acres out of the 22,000 acre footprint,
10 or excuse me, 22,000 acres of participating land.
11 We are only using 84 acres. I think we have
12 illustrated that there are no aviation concerns
13 here, which we have already received determination
14 of no hazards for quite a few of our turbines by
15 the FAA. And we should be receiving the remainder
16 of them prior to -- well, we will receive the
17 remainder of them prior to our building permit
18 application. We are in compliance with IDOT and
19 the county's tall structures ordinance.
20 Turbine locations by and large have been
21 approved by landowners. We talked about the 4.8
22 million dollars in property tax revenue. 3.4 of
23 that going to the schools. And that's 93 million
24 of property tax revenue over 30 years.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
714
1 over 111 million dollars paid to the landowners
2 over 30 years. It's a 560 million dollar capital
3 investment. 250 jobs during construction. 20
4 during operations. Local fire districts,
5 emergency responders and Woodford WEMA will be
6 provided with ample equipment and annual training
7 to respond to project specific emergencies.
8 We also illustrated no radar impacts,
9 weather or aviation impacts due to the project's
10 location. Decommissioning study to be
11 commissioned and the financial security to be
12 approved by the county. So the decommissioning
13 once again really is at the -- it's in the
14 county's hands. It's not in ours.
15 Special use factor two. We think that
16 we are in compliance with that as well. It goes
17 back to all of the items I just listed in factor
18 number one. And just from a high level obviously
19 the wind turbines will enhance the farm by adding
20 additional revenue, and even like I said from the
21 Mendota Hills project, the majority of the farmers
22 learned to use those roads and liked using them
23 for their farming practices. I think that we have
24 illustrated that the project will not be injurious
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
715
1 to the district. That's all of the items I just
2 discussed in factor one, on top of we will obtain
3 all necessary permits and approvals to construct
4 and operate the project.
5 I think we've provided the evidence as
6 well for factor number four, that the project will
7 not impede the normal and orderly development and
8 improvement of the surrounding property for use as
9 permitted in the districts. So this land is all
10 ag. Our project is not going to interfere with
11 that. We're only using 84 acres, and those 84
12 acres that were taken out of production is going
13 to compensate the landowners far more than the 84
14 acres of crop land would.
15 And we will be abiding by the Illinois
16 AIMA standards. All cables will be five feet
17 below grade. We will be following their stringent
18 decompaction and compaction standards, as well as
19 their wet weather construction standards, and
20 drain tile repair standards.
21 I believe we have provided enough
22 evidence at this point, and will be providing
23 evidence as part of the building permit
24 application to illustrate that adequate utilities,
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
716
1 access roads, drainage and/or other necessary
2 facilities have been or are being provided. All
3 electrical drainage, communication, utilities and
4 project facilities, including the O&M building and
5 project substation will be designed, constructed
6 and operating in accordance with the county,
7 state, Federal and best management practice
8 standards. The final designs and standards will
9 be provided with the building permit application.
10 Final factor, I think that the road use
11 agreement that we're executing with the townships
12 and the county illustrates that we're in
13 compliance with factor number six, and that the
14 project has taken adequate measures -- or adequate
15 measures have been or will be taken to provide
16 ingress and egress so as to minimize traffic
17 congestion in the public roads.
18 Just real quick on that. We talked
19 about the permit fees. We are minimizing the road
20 use so we're not just driving all over the place.
21 We have a very short route that we can use and
22 very confined routes that we can use as part of
23 the construction and operations. Daily traffic
24 plans will be submitted to the township and county
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
717
1 road authorities. The agreement also has heavy
2 fines. If we deviate from the routing, or if we
3 cause an obstruction along those roads, there's
4 substantial fines in there.
5 Then finally, the tall structures
6 ordinance. We think as well that we are in
7 compliance with that. And we are in compliance
8 with the various items that would allow for the
9 approval of the variance.
10 We executed an agreement with the
11 airstrip owner, that's Mr. Unzicker. We received
12 the FAA approval. And we received the IDOT
13 approval. That condition in the ordinance also
14 goes on to state that such variances shall be
15 allowed where it is duly found that a literal
16 application or enforcement of the regulations will
17 result in unnecessary hardship and relief granted.
18 Will not be contrary to the public's interests.
19 Will not create a hazard to air navigation. Will
20 do substantial justice and will be in accordance
21 with the spirit of this ordinance.
22 The first one, not granting the
23 variances -- not granting the variances will
24 impose unnecessary hardship and relief.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
718
1 This area is in probably the largest
2 most unpopulated area in the entire project. Also
3 has some of the highest ground. And the vast
4 majority of the land around there is signed up, so
5 it's some of the most favorable property for wind
6 development I would argue to say in the entire
7 county right there. Just given its proximity to
8 the power lines, high ground and low population
9 density.
10 Also, Mr. Unzicker still, with these
11 turbines, will still be able to safely operate his
12 airstrip where the turbines are located, and these
13 are turbine locations where he agreed to locate
14 them.
15 Granting the variances will not be
16 contrary to the public interests. Surrounding
17 land and residences are mostly participating
18 landowners. The property, and please keep in mind
19 the property tax revenue and landowner payments
20 associated with those turbines; if you were to
21 remove those 16 turbines, that is a substantial
22 amount of property tax revenue and landowners
23 payments for one gentleman's airstrip that has
24 agreed to the location of these turbines.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
719
1 Granting the variances will not create a
2 hazard to air navigation. This is a private VFR
3 airstrip. It is exclusively controlled by Mr.
4 Unzicker, who has over 12,000 hours flight time.
5 He is a professional pilot. He has already
6 illustrated his planned approaches and departures
7 and emergency procedures in and out of that
8 airstrip.
9 He's also gone on to say if it is an
10 issue, 'cuz it was brought up for this extremely
11 rare scenario of an emergency landing, he is
12 willing to take his airstrip out of the sectional
13 to remove that perceived risk as well, if that is
14 an issue.
15 Finally, granting will do substantial
16 justice. The pros of the variance simply outweigh
17 this minute chance of a safety issue arising from
18 Mr. Unzicker's airstrip. There is already a 200
19 foot communication tower just off the south end of
20 his runway right now that he's been operating just
21 fine around. And the approval of variances will
22 be in the spirit of the ordinance. The wind
23 turbines are sited and will be operated in
24 compliance with the ordinance, Section 28. And
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
720
1 expressly allowed per Section 31 of the ordinance.
2 Final slide, is just once again to
3 reiterate that Tri-Global, we're the developer.
4 We're working hand in hand with Copenhagen
5 Infrastructure Partners, who will be the owner
6 operator. I think it's -- I think the county and
7 the community is in a very good position, in that
8 the owner operator is involved now, so it's not
9 just a developer promising you something and then
10 riding off into the sunset. You're going to be
11 dealing with ourselves and CIP as we construct
12 this project, and them constructing then and
13 operating it. I think that they have illustrated,
14 and I know that they are a well funded business in
15 how they're financially structured. They're
16 financially structured to own and operate the
17 project long-term. This just gets back to their
18 funding, funding coming from a pension fund that
19 is more designed for long term asset hold than
20 coming in and buying something and trying to make
21 a quick profit. There are companies out there
22 that do that. CIP is not structured that way, and
23 that is just given their -- where their financial
24 backing comes from, and that it's primarily
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
721
1 pension fund dollars that aren't necessarily
2 looking for a quick burn. It's looking for a
3 slower burn. So, I think you're well positioned
4 there for long-term ownership. They're also a
5 very large and reputable worldwide wind project
6 operator. So they operate onshore and offshore
7 wind assets across the world. And their US office
8 here in New York City will be responsible for
9 managing not just this project, but they have got
10 over 6,000 megawatts of operating and development
11 power generation projects located here in the US.
12 With that being said, I think we have done it.
13 So, once again, thanks for everybody's
14 time. Thanks for sitting through all of this.
15 Very much appreciate it. Thanks for everyone in
16 the community as well for grinding it out here.
17 KIM HOLMES: Mr. Keyt, do you have any
18 questions of your witness?
19 MR. KEYT: I do not.
20 KIM HOLMES: Does the board have any
21 questions for Mr. Green at this time? Go ahead.
22 JERRY LAY: Jerry Lay ZBA. As you
23 mentioned on one page here in the clean ups, I
24 would like to let the record show that on 11/19
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
722
1 when I was supposed to have asked Mr. Vandewalle
2 if Panther Grove paid for, paid IDNR for their
3 report, let the record show my question there was
4 referring to an eagle's nest, that was the setback
5 from an eagle's nest, which was a fair distance.
6 My question was, whether or not there had been an
7 offer of a good neighbor agreement to reduce that.
8 But I did not ask if there was compensation. Just
9 to let the record show.
10 CHRIS GREEN: There was no compensation
11 made to IDNR for any.
12 JERRY LAY: I realize that. I was
13 looking to see if they had been offered a chance
14 to move that closer without compensation.
15 CHRIS GREEN: Understood.
16 JERRY LAY: Another question I have, and
17 I don't think it was brought up; these turbines,
18 on any variety of them, is there any kind of
19 lighting tips of the blades?
20 CHRIS GREEN: Not that I'm aware of.
21 JERRY LAY: Is there any kind of
22 painting or marking on the tips of the blades?
23 CHRIS GREEN: Not that I'm aware of.
24 JERRY LAY: And my last question is, in
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
723
1 areas around here where we have current wind
2 turbine generators, and obviously it is all in
3 agricultural areas, aerial applicators when they
4 spray these fields sometimes have an additional
5 rate, or there's an additional fee for the risk
6 flying within the turbines.
7 Is there any form of compensation, is
8 there any way that -- for the raised fee in these
9 things for the participants?
10 CHRIS GREEN: Yes, we have agreed to
11 compensate the participants if there are increased
12 spraying costs. We will compensate them for that.
13 JERRY LAY: How about a nonparticipant
14 that gets charged an extra fee because of the wind
15 turbines in close proximity?
16 CHRIS GREEN: If it is valid, I think we
17 would. I can't think of there being a valid
18 reason, to be honest, in how the project is laid
19 out, and given -- if it is valid, I think we could
20 commit to that.
21 JERRY LAY: I have no further questions.
22 KIM HOLMES: Kim Holmes, ZBA. I have a
23 question. You had mentioned you have a 1-800
24 number listed, is that correct?
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
724
1 CHRIS GREEN: Yes, ma'am.
2 KIM HOLMES: And where would that 1-800
3 number be located? How would the average citizen
4 or concerned citizen locate that number?
5 CHRIS GREEN: I think that's something
6 we are going to have to work out with the county.
7 I think we will have a sign for sure at the
8 O&M building that will say, project office here.
9 And we'll have a phone number listed underneath
10 that. We could send out a notice, some kind of
11 public notice that you would do for a hearing. Do
12 it in that manner. As well as we could get with
13 Lisa here and maybe we could post it on the
14 website as well.
15 But, definitely can commit to putting it
16 on the sign and we could notice it however the
17 county wants us to notice it so that folks are
18 aware of it.
19 KIM HOLMES: And I do like the idea of
20 e-mails being also routed over to the zoning
21 office. I think that is a good idea.
22 CHRIS GREEN: Yes, ma'am. That is a
23 very good point. We should do the exact same
24 thing. The ordinance contemplated a phone line,
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
725
1 but in this day and age we should do phone line
2 and e-mail and we can certainly commit to that
3 too.
4 KIM HOLMES: So you would be willing to
5 do that?
6 CHRIS GREEN: Yes, ma'am.
7 MR. GIBSON: Just so the members of the
8 zoning board know, this presentation was sent to
9 Lisa earlier today. She thought it was the same
10 materials that had been sent earlier, so she's
11 forwarded the e-mail to everyone. I know it's not
12 as easy for those of you that are here to see it.
13 But, those members that are joining us by zoom, it
14 should be in your e-mail if you had any questions
15 about the presentation that he just presented. I
16 just wanted to make sure you guys knew, and you
17 will all have it available to review prior to
18 deliberations.
19 KIM HOLMES: Thanks, Erik. Teresa, go
20 ahead.
21 TERESA GAUGER: Teresa Gauger, ZBA. I
22 have a question about the fire departments and
23 first responder training. At what point do you
24 begin that training?
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
726
1 CHRIS GREEN: I'm probably not the
2 person to best speak to that. That would probably
3 be more of a Chris Glimco question, operations.
4 But, I think we could -- you definitely would want
5 to commit to that prior to construction. There's
6 going to be -- there needs to be some training
7 revolved around construction and orientation given
8 for construction. Quite frankly, there's going to
9 be more activity with the construction than the
10 operations.
11 So, I think, yeah, prior to the start of
12 construction, other than annual training given
13 annually during the operations of the project.
14 TERESA GAUGER: Okay. And you mentioned
15 the wet weather construction. And with us not
16 seeing the road agreement, is there a plan in
17 place for debris that is hauled out on the road as
18 on a daily basis? I just worry about the mud and
19 that type of thing.
20 CHRIS GREEN: There is, that's
21 definitely contemplated in the road use agreement.
22 And it's strict penalties. I mean, it's basically
23 road authorities, whenever they see that the roads
24 are dirty we have got to clean them up and they
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
727
1 got to get them cleaned up ASAP is the gist of the
2 language. But, it's -- community is protected
3 within the road use agreement for road debris and
4 dust; we have to maintain dust control as well
5 during -- when it's dry out. We have to go and
6 spray water or chemicals along the roads to make
7 sure the dust isn't flying everywhere too.
8 TERESA GAUGER: And then to that same
9 thing with the roads, when you're -- the route
10 roads that you will be using, what kind of
11 material will be put down for those roads?
12 CHRIS GREEN: So, what kind of surfacing
13 will be placed on the roads?
14 TERESA GAUGER: Yes.
15 CHRIS GREEN: I might save that one for
16 Mr. Adams here. But, from a high level we will be
17 replacing what was there. So, if it's chipseal,
18 we will replace chipseal. If it's gravel, we will
19 replace gravel. If it's another surface, we will
20 replace it with that. All of the roads will be
21 resurfaced that we use.
22 TERESA GAUGER: With oil and chip?
23 CHRIS GREEN: With what was there. And
24 even in some instances, depending on use, we will
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
728
1 actually have to get into the sub grade as well in
2 the base of the road and repair that too. It just
3 depends on the amount of use.
4 TERESA GAUGER: Okay. This is my last
5 question. For the ADLS, I just want to go back to
6 that. How many does CIP or Tri-Global, how many
7 wind farms do you have at this point that use that
8 type of lighting?
9 CHRIS GREEN: We, Tri-Global, haven't
10 developed any projects that are operational with
11 ADLS yet. I'll have to ask CIP. I'm not aware
12 that they would have any in the US yet either. It
13 is, it's a new, fairly new technology. However,
14 it's been going through testing with the FAA now
15 for probably ten years. And has been evaluated in
16 Europe even longer before it came here. So it's
17 been through stringent testing.
18 I believe it was either Jeff or Dan that
19 stated some states now are requiring it. So, it's
20 gone through the ringer. But once again, this is
21 an optional item. Something that we are offering
22 to the county and to the community. I mean, it's
23 not a cheap system, to say the least. It is
24 optional.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
729
1 But, it's gone through very stringent
2 testing, so we believe that it's safe. And keep
3 in mind, it's designed if there is a flaw, there's
4 redundancy within it, to where it will turn on and
5 act as though it was standard FAA lights. So if
6 there is an issue, it will trip itself off and
7 turn on and act like normal FAA lights.
8 TERESA GAUGER: Okay. Thank you.
9 KIM HOLMES: Kim Holmes again. I have a
10 question about, when you were talking about the
11 tower height, and the distance from say a
12 participating home owner. And here the ordinance
13 does offer one times the tip height. And we know
14 that the height of the tower is actually to the
15 apex of the blade as defined in the ordinance.
16 Now my question is, and obviously if
17 everybody is a thousand feet away, and we're
18 looking at say anywhere between 660 to 704 feet,
19 which is one times one depending on the turbine
20 that they use, my question is about
21 nonparticipating. Okay?
22 Now, we have in here for
23 nonparticipating that the distance would be four
24 times the tower height, which then four times,
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
730
1 this is your estimate, of 660, four times 660 is
2 2640, and four times 704 is 2816. And do you
3 know, now you've taken to insure steps that those
4 are those distances; those are minimal distances
5 then?
6 Because I notice here that you have --
7 well, number of turbines closer than listed
8 distance to a nonparticipating residence of 2,500
9 feet is zero. So, I don't -- I'm just asking the
10 question, that those distances then are being
11 adhered to, that 2640, if applicable, or the 2816,
12 if applicable? Those would be minimum?
13 CHRIS GREEN: Yes, ma'am. So we are in
14 compliance with all of the setbacks in the layout
15 of this project. We're four times the height away
16 from all unsigned participants.
17 KIM HOLMES: Okay.
18 CHRIS GREEN: And there's only a few of
19 those that were kind of close to that. I think
20 the other key thing to note too, which Lisa can
21 attest to, is it's not just measured from the
22 house. It's measured from the land around the
23 house. It's certain land classification around a
24 residence that we pull distances from.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
731
1 For instance, someone might have, there
2 was a house that had a half a mile long driveway,
3 that we pulled the distance from that half a mile
4 long driveway, not just the residence.
5 So, in summary, we're in compliance with
6 the four times tip height setback. And all of the
7 setbacks, once again, are going to get confirmed
8 prior to the building permit application, where
9 we're going to actually go out, survey the land,
10 and provide an as-built survey confirming that we
11 are in compliance with the setbacks.
12 KIM HOLMES: Okay. Thank you. Does the
13 board have any further questions? I'm going to
14 ask if any interested parties have any questions
15 of this witness? All right. You have to come up.
16 All right. Before you get started, please state
17 your name, spell it, and then give us your
18 address, please. And then you can pull the
19 microphone down if you need to, but speak into it.
20 MR. ROTH: I didn't hear what you said.
21 KIM HOLMES: I was just saying, say your
22 name, and then please spell it and then give us
23 your address.
24 MR. ROTH: Okay. Dennis Roth,
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
732
1 D-E-N-N-I-S. R-O-T-H. 1518 County Road 2000
2 East, Roanoke, Illinois.
3 In the beginning when you first started,
4 you said, you mentioned the Harold Roth property,
5 and I couldn't quite hear it all. I was just
6 wondering if you could repeat that?
7 CHRIS GREEN: Yes. So we had to move
8 Harold's turbine to the property just north of the
9 original location.
10 MR. ROTH: Okay. So he won't be getting
11 one then?
12 CHRIS GREEN: No, it's on -- no, he will
13 be. It's still on his property.
14 MR. ROTH: So, it's going further north
15 on his property?
16 CHRIS GREEN: Yes, sir.
17 MR. ROTH: I see.
18 CHRIS GREEN: I thought Howard had
19 mentioned that. I thought Howard had mentioned
20 that to you guys.
21 MR. ROTH: I didn't hear it if he did.
22 My dad's Benson place, there wasn't a tower put up
23 there, and I was wondering if one that was removed
24 could be put up there then?
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
733
1 CHRIS GREEN: We'd have to look at it.
2 MR. ROTH: Okay: That's all I have.
3 KIM HOLMES: Are there any other
4 interested parties have any questions that wish to
5 ask a question of this witness? Okay. Seeing no
6 further questions, Mr. Keyt, do you have a
7 question?
8 MR. KEYT: I do not have any questions
9 for Mr. Green, but I think Teresa asked a question
10 that Joe can answer, if we want to have him come
11 up and answer that question real quick.
12 KIM HOLMES: Thank you, Mr. Green. All
13 right. Just go ahead and state your name and
14 spell it real quick. You have already been worn
15 in.
16 MR. ADAM: Joe Adams. J-O-E.
17 A-D-A-M-S. And I think your question was
18 concerning road materials? I wanted to be clear
19 that during construction we intend for those to be
20 aggregate surface. And after construction they
21 will be seal coated back to their original
22 condition. The materials would all be IDOT
23 certified materials. The type of gradation of
24 stone to be put down we would probably would
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
734
1 recommend a CA 6 gradation from an IDOT
2 perspective. That would be submitted as part of
3 the roadway improvement plans and reviewed by the
4 townships prior to construction.
5 As far as the geological component, I'm
6 sure it would be economical to get as close to
7 possible, and I believe that's a limestone type
8 material; again, it would be IDOT certified. And
9 then post construction the seal coating, there is
10 several different types of oil available to meet
11 the criteria. Even some different variations in
12 rock you could put down as well with the oil and
13 chip. Those different flavors and combinations we
14 defer to the various townships and counties to
15 choose between. I hope that answers the question.
16 TERESA GAUGER: It does. Thank you.
17 KIM HOLMES: Did anybody else have a
18 question, interested parties for Mr. Adams while
19 he was up there? Okay. Go ahead, Mr. Keyt.
20 MR. KEYT: Okay. Joe was our last
21 witness. That brings us to just a couple
22 procedural things.
23 So, we have tonight submitted exhibits
24 24 through 39. We would respectfully move those
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING

1 into evidence, madam chairwoman.
2 KIM HOLMES: I think that's a good idea.
3 We will go ahead, Exhibits 24 through 39 will be
4 entered into the record.
5 MR. KEYT: And if I understand it, it
6 sounds like you found the power point, Erik?
7 Okay. Perfect.
8 I think at this point that's our last
9 witness.
10 MR. GIBSON: Counsel, are you guys
11 asking for turbine number 61 to be removed,
12 because I don't think that the board ever
13 entertained a motion on that.
14 MR. KEYT: Oh, yeah. So for clarity,
15 turbine 61 is the one that we had discussed back
16 and forth a couple times. Talked about moving it,
17 ultimately we decided to withdraw that one. So,
18 if you want to make a motion on it, now would be
19 the time to do that I think.
20 KIM HOLMES: I would entertain a motion.
21 TERESA GAUGER: Teresa Gauger, ZBA, I
22 will make a motion that we approve the removal of
23 turbine number 61.
24 JERRY LAY: I second it.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
736
1 KIM HOLMES: I guess we will do a roll
2 call vote.
3 LISA JORDING: Kim Holmes.
4 A. Yes.
5 LISA JORDING: Teresa Gauger.
6 A. Yes.
7 LISA JORDING: Jerry Lay.
8 A. Yes.
9 LISA JORDING: Marty Clinch.
10 A. Yes.
11 LISA JORDING: Dean Backer.
12 A. Yes.
13 KIM HOLMES: Motion passes. Go ahead.
14 MR. KEYT: With that, we would rest our
15 case for now. We would, I think your procedures
16 allow for us to have rebuttal if we need it. I
17 don't know that we will, but we ask to reserve
18 time for that. Myself and John will probably give
19 a brief closing when we're done with the evidence
20 all together. But I think at this point there are
21 some interested party landowners that wanted to
22 speak. They are not part of our case. But, I
23 think that's the next round of evidence to be
24 discussed.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
737
1 KIM HOLMES: All right. Thank you, Mr.
2 Keyt. We're going to go ahead and take our break
3 now. It's 5:42. And we can come back in 15
4 minutes, which would be 5:57 I guess.
5 MR. GIBSON: For those interested
6 parties that wish to present, at this time if you
7 could come check in with Lisa we want to make sure
8 we have got all your materials ready to go and
9 have everybody ready to go to make this smooth as
10 possible once we get to that portion. Thank you.
11 (A break was taken at 5:43 p.m.)
12 (The time is 5:57 p.m.)
13 KIM HOLMES: We're going to come back in
14 after our break. It is 5:57. At this time I'm
15 going to ask everybody to settle down a little bit
16 and take your seats.
17 Okay. We're going to open the mike up
18 for interested parties. So if we have any
19 interested parties that would like to come forward
20 and speak. Go ahead.
21 A VOICE: Ralph Marshall.
22 KIM HOLMES: Go ahead and we will get
23 you sworn in.
24 MR. MARSHALL: My name is Ralph
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
738
1 Marshall. R-A-L-P-H. M-A-R-S-H-A-L-L. And I
2 will be sworn in.
3 (Witness sworn.)
4 KIM HOLMES: You may go ahead.
5 DEAN BACKER: Where is Mr. Marshall
6 from?
7 KIM HOLMES: Make sure you speak into
8 the microphone please. And I don't believe we
9 have an address for you.
10 MR. MARSHALL: My current address is
11 2104 Summerfield Boulevard in Bloomington,
12 Illinois. However, the Friday before Thanksgiving
13 we closed on the purchase of the old feed mill in
14 Minonk. So at 68 years old we're restoring an old
15 feed mill, and will be relocating in Minonk. So I
16 hope that doesn't question my insanity in my
17 testimony.
18 Thank you so much for the opportunity to
19 speak today. I really come before you with no
20 intent of doing this. And I apologize for the
21 quality of my written testimony. If I was one of
22 my doctoral students I would be failing me right
23 now. I didn't double-check it like I should.
24 But, Saturday prior to the due date of
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
739
1 this a neighbor called Elaine, my wife, who is the
2 owner of property that is involved in this
3 project. And so up front I'll make that clear.
4 And just asked that we may speak, simply
5 because we come from so many different areas. She
6 of course grew up on the farm that we're speaking
7 of, and in 1972, the first time I came to Eureka,
8 was to get a marriage license at the courthouse.
9 And for her to become my bride. She was Elaine
10 Stromberger Yager. Stromberger and Yager names I
11 think people may have heard of in the county and
12 in the area of Eureka. They have been here for
13 quite a while.
14 But after graduating from college, we,
15 at the time, were helping out on her family farm.
16 We graduated and decided it was time to make our
17 fortune elsewhere. And so we have moved around
18 the country in various positions, and in various
19 professions.
20 And part of what I want to testify as is
21 we were absentee landowners. And you will see in
22 my testimony though in 2019 we formed I Am
23 Farming, Yager Marshall Farms, in honor of my
24 wife's parents, Emma and Harold Yager, and my
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
740
1 parents, Don and Betty Marshal.
2 My family was in farming right up to my
3 father when he decided to go to work for the
4 railroad. And so our interests in this windmill
5 from a personal standpoint is in hopes of
6 retaining our family farm. I have two sons and a
7 nephew that want to farm their grandfather's land.
8 So, it's really an emotional thing for
9 us. And we have really had to pray a lot about
10 it. We really had to think it through. What
11 would her parents want us to do? I'm amazed as I
12 meet more and more of our neighbors now, and talk
13 to other farmers, how interested they are in
14 conservation. In safety. My bachelor's degree is
15 from Illinois State in industrial technology
16 safety, and in the areas of ag economics and ag
17 safety. We have dedicated our life to education.
18 So, beyond our current interests of the
19 farm, a greater interest of ours and as we present
20 this testimony, and Elaine regrets she can not be
21 here but because of health issues it's too
22 dangerous for her to be out amongst the public.
23 So, I will tell you a little bit about
24 our background on the farm. And I included more
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
741
1 of it in the written testimony. But, our real
2 interest is in areas that I haven't heard a lot of
3 talk about. I haven't heard a lot of talk -- I
4 had to miss last week, but prior to that, I didn't
5 hear about what's it mean to all tax payers in
6 this county? I greatly respect the testimony of
7 the two superintendents who spoke earlier. They
8 have, they talked about a lot of their hopes of
9 what they could add.
10 I would argue that in my career of 21
11 years as superintendent unfortunately people too
12 often think about the high school students, you
13 know, what are we doing for them? And I think we
14 need to think more about those preschool,
15 kindergarten and all the way through.
16 The goals that the superintendents are
17 shooting for are attainable. As superintendent in
18 five different districts in Illinois, fortunately
19 moving on my own, not being forced out, I have
20 seen a lot of differences in the quality of
21 education and the opportunities of schools in the
22 state.
23 We were doing dual credit over 20 years
24 ago. I was on the committee that went to the
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
742
1 legislature that passed the funding mechanism that
2 we both, the community colleges and the high
3 schools, received their state money for dual
4 credit. Also, the law that says state
5 universities have to accept dual credit, credit
6 into the University if it comes from the community
7 college and a high school student.
8 So those things are there. They're
9 going to be able to do that at Roanoke Benson I
10 know mentioned that.
11 But I also saw where the advantages for
12 both educational programs and conservation and
13 ecology projects, when you have strong corporate
14 leaders, corporate partnerships in your district,
15 such as Tri-Global and the other partners here
16 have suggested.
17 I've seen the Horicon Marsh up in
18 southern Wisconsin. I drive regularly to my sons
19 in Madison down the Sugar River conservation
20 project. A classmate of mine in high school who
21 became a state legislator sold much of his
22 farmland to the land conservatory that was in the
23 district that I was superintendent of.
24 So those corporate partners, some of the
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
743
1 concerns I think we can get together a group of
2 people and really improve the quality of life for
3 our wildlife that we have in this area.
4 So, again, it's all things that can be
5 worked out. But, the important point is that
6 there's advantages to all tax payers. Mr. Lay, I
7 know you said, asked the superintendent of Minonk,
8 I believe the question of about the first
9 windmills they had. And she made a comment, I
10 think I heard her say, well, because the way the
11 state aid formula used to be, which is true, it
12 didn't benefit kids as much. And she made a
13 comment, I think that said they didn't receive
14 really any benefit from that. Well, that's not
15 totally true. The district received a benefit
16 from it, from the standpoint that the tax payers,
17 because of the increased assessed valuation, when
18 the tax rates are figured to pay off bonds, and
19 it's kind of ironic the day after we signed the
20 purchase agreement for the old mill it came on
21 WEEK TV the next morning that Minonk had just
22 issued some bonds to improve buildings. I told my
23 wife they were getting back at me for all the
24 years I did that to tax payers in districts.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
744
1 But the point is, when you increase your
2 assessed valuation, every tax payer benefits, not
3 directly the dollars they receive, and those
4 dollars are not going directly to pay those, it's
5 not like I get that money and I hand it to a
6 contractor to pay it off. They pay off that bond
7 issue. And the press release from Fieldcrest
8 said, we hope with increased assessed valuation
9 the tax rates will not go up.
10 Well, folks, I have been in districts,
11 we have lowered tax rates because of increased
12 assessed valuation. That's for every one of you
13 in here that own land will benefit that are in
14 those three school districts. The nice thing
15 about the windmills project is it goes over three
16 school districts.
17 When I was superintendent in Leroy, we
18 had the warning sirens for the Clinton nuclear
19 plant in our southern part of our district. If
20 there's a disaster at Clinton nuclear plant we're
21 going to be the first ones hit with it. We didn't
22 receive a dime from them. We had no benefit from
23 that. Clinton was a very wealthy district.
24 Byron up the road south of Rockford is a very
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
745
1 wealthy district. Here we had the opportunity to
2 benefit all districts, several districts within
3 our area.
4 And so when we talk about programs
5 though, and what I'd like to ask you to think
6 about it, and to put first is what I always ask my
7 school boards to do, every one of them. We had a
8 motto that said children first. I haven't heard a
9 lot about the little kids and how we might add
10 programs that will help them.
11 The sad part is, I called Superintendent
12 Kurz at El Paso, he was a student of mine at
13 Eastern. And I said hey, you know, I've been
14 asked to testify. We've agreed to do it. What's
15 your thoughts? I said what are you going to be
16 able to add? He said Dr. Marshall, the sad part
17 is I don't think we will be able to add anything.
18 I think more likely we will only be able to
19 maintain. We'll be able to maintain the tax rate
20 that we promised when we passed the building bond.
21 We will be able to maintain the rates we've had
22 hopefully. Because, we all know the State of
23 Illinois.
24 You may have heard the story. Young man
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
746
1 wrote a letter to Santa saying, Santa, I'm poor,
2 I'd like to buy a present for my brothers and
3 sisters. Would you send me a hundred dollars?
4 Well, the governor at the time in Illinois saw
5 that and said well, that's pretty nice. So he
6 sent the young man five dollars. Next letter to
7 Santa was dear Santa, thank you for the five
8 dollars, but the next time please don't send it
9 through Springfield. Because we know when our
10 local tax dollars go there or to Washington, we
11 don't necessarily get them all back.
12 This project gives us the funds here to
13 be used. We take care of ourselves. I know the
14 farming community works hard. We had to sell my
15 family farm. My grandmother went in the nursing
16 home at age 72. She died five days prior to 100.
17 And the entire farm, I like to say we own a wing
18 of the Mendota Lutheran Home.
19 So, again, this is so much more than
20 what as adults we may think about it to be. And
21 think about it. Now, what does Brian need? Well,
22 with COVID we better update our internet and our
23 technology pretty quick. This will get over, but
24 what may be next? What disadvantage do these
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
747
1 rural students have because they can't, like my
2 suburban students, access the quality of Internet
3 that is out there today?
4 You know, what about nursing, how about
5 counselors? How about smaller class sizes? I'm
6 amazed at the number of parents I run into now and
7 former parents in districts I've been in that
8 said, Ralph, we can't believe how hard it is to
9 teach our kids. So, we can say, ah, class size; I
10 argued class size doesn't make any difference when
11 I was trying to balance a budget. Well, folks,
12 you tell me it doesn't make a difference. Our
13 schools could benefit from that. And those are
14 all things that could be improvements.
15 But again, if the state backs out like
16 they normally do on funding, we're going to be
17 like Dunlap, if you're watching the news. What
18 are they having? They're having talks. I went
19 through a 17 day teachers strike. I had to talk
20 to 50 young teachers about laying them off because
21 we couldn't afford the settlement that we had to
22 get to end the strike.
23 This will help our schools, our
24 communities. They can grow. They can prosper.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
748
1 We can do better. And I can tell you these
2 farmers are not money hungry. They're trying to
3 survive. They're trying to not have to do what we
4 had to do to my grandfather's farm. They're
5 trying to be able to do like we hope to do to
6 reinstate our grass waterways. Give up some corn
7 yield and that to improve the conservation of the
8 land.
9 So, again, I would just ask that you
10 think about the young kids. Think about the
11 programs that could be added for them, and think
12 about really the small family farms that are
13 trying to retain their family farm, their
14 heritage, and try to avoid having to sell to the
15 highest bidder. Thank you so much.
16 KIM HOLMES: Does the board have any
17 questions for Mr. Marshall? Or Dr. Marshall? Are
18 there interested parties that have questions for
19 Dr. Marshall? Seeing none, thank you very much,
20 Mr. Marshall.
21 (Witness excused. )
22 KIM HOLMES: All right. Do we have an
23 interested party, I have a list of interested
24 parties indicating that they would like to come
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
749
1 up. Karen Jones. All right. Can you hear me?
2 MS. JONES: Yes, can you hear me?
3 KIM HOLMES: Okay. I will need you to
4 go ahead and state your name, please spell it, and
5 your address.
6 MS. JONES: Okay. It's Karen, K-A-R-E-N.
7 Jones. J-O-N-E-S. And my address is 1539 County
8 Road 2400 East in Benson.
9 KIM HOLMES: All right. You will need
10 to be either sworn in or affirmed. Which do you
11 prefer?
12 (Witness affirmed.)
13 KIM HOLMES: Go ahead.
14 MS. JONES: Thank you. So, good
15 evening, and thank you for allowing me a few
16 minutes tonight to speak in support of the Panther
17 Grove wind energy project.
18 My family has lived and farmed in
19 Woodford County for more than four generations,
20 and my daughter is currently the fifth generation
21 hopefully remaining involved in the farm as she
22 grows up.
23 And as a farmer, care for the
24 environment is of utmost importance to me and my
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
750
1 family. And anything that we can do to protect
2 and preserve our finite natural resources is worth
3 considering. And the wind project definitely fits
4 that bill. It's clean, renewable domestic energy
5 and it will help protect our family farm and our
6 way of life.
7 As a Woodford County resident, this
8 project is going to provide local jobs during
9 construction, and also after the project is
10 completed as the project takes on a life of its
11 own. And these jobs are so important to
12 attracting and keeping families in rural counties
13 like ours. Families whose children will attend
14 our schools, and who will support and create local
15 small businesses and help build up our communities
16 to keep them strong and thriving.
17 The tax dollars generated by this
18 project are going to benefit everybody in the
19 county. They will benefit our local first
20 responders. They will benefit our libraries, our
21 roads and especially our schools. Other nearby
22 counties have already begun reaping benefits from
23 projects like these, and I think it's time that
24 Woodford County also starts to reap some of those
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
751
1 benefits as well.
2 And unfortunately, in recent years
3 funding has become a hardship for smaller schools
4 like those in our county. And districts across
5 the state, they're faced every day with tough
6 decisions of how to balance quality education with
7 declining student populations. Many are
8 considering consolidations or they have to offer
9 students fewer educational activity in the
10 classroom and extracurricularly to keep their
11 doors open.
12 I'm a product of the Roanoke Benson
13 school district and my daughter is currently am
14 elementary student in second grade. And as a
15 mother I appreciate the small school atmosphere
16 where she is known by her immediate classroom
17 teacher, but also staff and students at the
18 school, even the superintendent knows her by name.
19 And they help look out for her well
20 being and they will continue to do so as she
21 progresses through the system. And I would love
22 to see her graduate from RB with a quality
23 education that has prepped her for wherever she
24 wants to go in life. And the tax dollars
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
752
1 generated by this project will go a long way
2 towards making that possible.
3 So, in conclusion, thank you for the
4 opportunity to speak. Thank you for the zoom
5 platform. I wasn't able to join you in person
6 tonight. But do appreciate the ability with
7 technology to be able to share my thoughts with
8 you. Thank you.
9 KIM HOLMES: Okay. Thank you. Does the
10 board have any questions for Ms. Jones? Okay. Do
11 we have any other interested parties that have any
12 questions of this witness? No, I don't see any.
13 So, thank you very much.
14 (Witnesses excused. )
15 KIM HOLMES: Go to our next interested
16 party. And I just wanted to remind you that when
17 you come up to testify, please remember that other
18 people have already testified about certain
19 things, and if you have new information, would be
20 very much appreciated. Please try not to be
21 repetitive. Thank you. The next one I believe is
22 Susan Johnson. Step up to the microphone. Please
23 state your name and spell it and then your
24 address.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
753
1 MS. JOHNSON: My name is Susan Johnson.
2 S-U-S-A-N. J-O-H-N-S-O-N. And my address is 3158
3 County Road 1500 North, El Paso. 61738.
4 KIM HOLMES: I need to swear you in.
5 Would you rather be sworn in or affirmed.
6 (Witness sworn.)
7 KIM HOLMES: You can go ahead with your
8 presentation.
9 MS. JOHNSON: My name is Susan Johnson,
10 I want to talk as a nonparticipating person. It's
11 just my experience growing, living among the
12 turbines.
13 I grew up in Woodford County just north
14 of where we live now. At 3178 County Road 1700
15 North, El Paso. My mom, who is 88, still lives
16 there. I left this area and worked as a surgical
17 nurse at St. Francis Medical Center in Peoria,
18 only to return with my husband to farm after my
19 dad was too ill to continue farming and passed
20 away.
21 We have lived there for 24 years now. I
22 love this area, which is a great place to raise
23 our two sons, Zack and Noah. I'm amazed at how
24 beautiful this area is. You can see for miles,
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
754
1 the wildlife, especially the snowy owls that come
2 up from the north in January when their food
3 supply runs short.
4 And I might add professional
5 photographers come to take pictures of them. The
6 bald eagles which on November 8th we saw a huge
7 majestic one fly out of a ditch a mile south of
8 our home when we were coming home from church.
9 We've even seen six whooping cranes
10 after a downpour of rain eating around a pond in
11 the field a half mile east of us.
12 The beautiful starlit nights, full
13 moons, while combining corn. Colorful sunsets in
14 the sky before an approaching storm are some of my
15 absolute favorites. You can't put a dollar value
16 on this. The creation points me to my creator.
17 We love the quietness of the country, and when Tim
18 and I bought our fixer upper house we didn't think
19 we would ever be living among huge wind turbines.
20 We farm my mom's land which is now in
21 the middle of the Minonk wind farm. She is
22 surrounded by them. And the turbines there are so
23 noisy some days, like a roar, especially when the
24 wind is from the south. At 88 she likes to sit on
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
755
1 her front porch. But, some days she can't because
2 of the sound.
3 We have turbines one and a half miles to
4 the north of us now. At night, as of now, the red
5 blinking lights are annoying, but I understand
6 they're needed to keep our pilots safe. We hear
7 the blades a lot and see them whirling day in and
8 day out except when they are turned off. The
9 turbine company came and wanted us to sign a good
10 neighbor contract. It's Exhibit 1. In section
11 three, impact of wind power facility setback. If
12 we signed it, we would acknowledge, understand and
13 agree wind power facilities might cast shadows or
14 flicker on to property, impact the view from, of
15 and on the property, and/or otherwise cause visual
16 effects and may also cause or emit flashing
17 blinking lights, air turbulence, electromagnetic
18 fields, frequency interference, infrasound, noise,
19 stray voltage, vibration, wake and other effects
20 related to renewable energy projects.
21 I wonder what the other effects are?
22 Would you like to live near this with your family?
23 Our home is one and a half miles east of where
24 these proposed turbines are to go. So we will
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
756
1 have them to the north and the west of us day and
2 night. We can't escape them. Will anyone want to
3 buy our home some day if we decide to move?
4 I'm not an expert in science, physics or
5 law. I'm just an ordinary person living among
6 these things. I'm concerned with the long-term
7 effects, especially to health, and infrasound. My
8 son, Noah, and his wife, Sidney, help us farm and
9 have a hay business next to the turbines on my
10 mom's property.
11 I just want to protect my family.
12 That's all. That's why I stand here before you
13 today. I can't control what people do with their
14 land. That's their right. But, don't we have a
15 right to enjoyment of our property too? We always
16 wanted to build on Sam's hill. It's a little rise
17 on my mom's property. But we can't now because a
18 turbine sits too close. It puts a limit on where
19 we can build. Our neighbors in Livingston County
20 have increased setbacks to six times the height of
21 the tower, or 3,250 feet, whichever is greater
22 from any primary structure. That's Exhibit 2, H
23 setbacks. Our setbacks are four times inadequate
24 to protect public health.

1 This land of Woodford County is a God
2 given gift. I was always told to respect the land
3 and take care of it. There will be no more land
4 made. It's the bread basket of America. Why
5 cover this precious soil with turbines? I think
6 the greatest resources here in Woodford County are
7 the hard working people and the fertile soil
8 those before us left to feed the world with.
9 Thank you.
10 KIM HOLMES: Does the board have any
11 questions of the witness? I have a question. You
12 have, what is it, it's a waiver and agreement
13 paperwork that you submitted as an exhibit. Did
14 you ever, this waiver agreement, that you've
15 submitted as an exhibit; did you sign that?
16 MS. JOHNSON: No.
17 KIM HOLMES: Okay.
18 MS. JOHNSON: No, I did not. I'm a
19 nonparticipant. I didn't sign anything.
20 KIM HOLMES: You didn't sign it? All
21 right.
22 MS. JOHNSON: I just wanted to show what
23 it showed the effects.
24 KIM HOLMES: All right. Does the board
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
758
1 have any questions? All right. Go up to the
2 mike, state your name and spell your name. You
3 have already been, you are just asking a question
4 okay.
5 MR. HEIL: Yes, I'm one of the attorneys
6 for the applicant, I'm John Heil and I have a few
7 questions for you.
8 KIM HOLMES: Can you spell your name,
9 please.
10 MR. HEIL: Sure, last name is H-E-I-L and
11 like Andy, I'm from Heyl Royster Voelker and
12 Allen.
13 QUESTIONS BY MR. HEIL:
14 Q. From listening to your testimony, ma'am,
15 it sounds like in general you're not a big fan of
16 wind farms, is that fair to say?
17 A. Fair.
18 Q. Okay. You indicated that you live
19 roughly one and a half miles south of the closest
20 wind turbine to you in the Minonk project, is that
21 correct?
22 A. Right, right, and my mother lives among
23 them.
24 KIM HOLMES: Please speak into the
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
759
1 microphone.
2 A. I'm sorry. We spend a lot of time at my
3 mom's place 'cuz that's where the farm is.
4 Q. So, just so I understand you correctly,
5 you indicated that your mom sort of lives among
6 them?
7 A. Yes.
8 Q. What do you mean by that?
9 A. She has turbines all around her there.
10 Q. Now, that project went in several years
11 ago, is that correct?
12 A. Yes. Yes.
13 Q. Since that time, have you attempted to
14 sell your house?
15 A. No.
16 Q. So, in other words, you indicated having
17 some sort of fear about what you would get for
18 your house, but you haven't actually placed it on
19 the market and tried to sell, is that correct?
20 A. Correct.
21 Q. Has your mother placed her house on the
22 market?
23 A. No, she hasn't.
24 Q. You indicated that you have some
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
760
1 concerns about health effects. You also indicated
2 something about infrasound. What do you mean by
3 infrasound?
4 A. Well, I read about it when I got the
5 report, the good neighbor's report. It's a low
6 frequency, you can't hear it, but it's a low
7 frequency sound that you can't hear.
8 Q. This infrasound, have you been diagnosed
9 with any sort of medical problems resulting from
10 it for sound?
11 A. No.
12 Q. Has your mother?
13 A. No.
14 MR. GIBSON: I'm going to take this
15 moment real quick to remind everyone we do have a
16 transcriptionist that is taking this down. You
17 can't speak at the same time. So, Ms. Johnson
18 just since you're up there, let Mr. Heil finish
19 his question before you respond. I know you're
20 trying to just keep it moving. But, she can only
21 take down one person at a time.
22 A. Okay. I'm sorry.
23 Q. I will do my best as well. Apart from
24 infrasound, are you aware of any medical condition
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
761
1 that you've been diagnosed with that's been tied
2 to the Minonk wind farm project?
3 A. No.
4 Q. What about your mother?
5 A. No, not that I know of.
6 Q. Okay. You mentioned not liking red
7 blinking lights associated with that project, is
8 that correct?
9 A. Correct.
10 Q. You've heard some of, at least some of
11 the testimony in these proceedings, is that right?
12 A. Yes.
13 Q. Are you aware of the system that is
14 planned, if the county wants it, if it's agreed
15 to, involving a light system that stays off unless
16 an aircraft is immediately in the area?
17 A. Yes. That's why I stated, as of now.
18 Q. Okay. So, would you regard that as
19 better than seeing the red lights blinking off and
20 on all night?
21 A. What would be better? I'm sorry.
22 Q. Lights off and only going on if an
23 aircraft is near?
24 A. Yes. Yes.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
762
1 Q. Now, you mentioned also that you believe
2 you're going to be roughly a mile and a half to
3 the east of the new Panther Grove project, is that
4 correct?
5 A. Correct.
6 Q. Now, I have a map, and I'm wondering if
7 I could have permission to approach the witness
8 briefly.
9 KIM HOLMES: Yes, go ahead. You may
10 approach.
11 Q. Ma'am, I'm wondering if you could take a
12 look at this map that contains the topography of
13 the area, and on the right side of that is a, in
14 blue, is a dot marked with a pin number, that
15 being 121240016. Does that depict where your home
16 is located?
17 A. I can't tell.
18 Q. Okay.
19 A. I'm sorry, I can't tell.
20 KIM HOLMES: Mr. Heil, while she's
21 looking at that, did you want to go get a mask on
22 because of the proximity?
23 Q. And actually since she has it I can ask
24 from right here. And I apologize to the board.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
763
1 Ma'am, is that in the approximate location of your
2 home? Can you tell from that map?
3 A. Yes.
4 Q. Okay.
5 A. I guess.
6 Q. And if you look at that and we can
7 certainly share this map with the ZBA, does that
8 show that your property is actually outside the
9 footprint of the proposed wind project?
10 A. We're outside I believe.
11 Q. Okay. The closest markings with numbers
12 on them depicting wind turbines, those have little
13 X's over them, is that correct? Can you see that?
14 A. Yes.
15 Q. And have you heard the testimony that
16 those are wind turbines that actually have been
17 withdrawn from consideration before the ZBA in
18 these proceedings?
19 A. They're withdrawn?
20 Q. Yes. So is it your understanding that
21 there in fact won't be wind turbines where there
22 are those red X's?
23 A. Correct. I didn't know they were X'd
24 out.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
764
1 Q. Does that affect your feeling to at
2 least some extent about this proposed project?
3 A. Yes, it does.
4 Q. I have no further questions. And I can
5 bring the map that I have just shown down to the
6 ZBA for their perusal if that is what you'd like
7 me to do.
8 KIM HOLMES: Thank you. We're going to
9 go ahead and allow the map that Mrs. Johnson was
10 just reviewing as an exhibit. We are going to put
11 that map up so it's projected so our other board
12 members can view it. Well, that is kind of hard
13 to see. If you could go ahead and show the board
14 the areas that you were referring to.
15 MR. HEIL: Certainly. Thank you for the
16 opportunity. I would mention up front that the
17 way it's being displayed on the screen right now,
18 north would be to your right and west would be
19 up. There's a blue marking with some writing
20 along the bottom. So the furthest to the east of
21 the aerial shot depicted. And there's a little
22 arrow connected to a box that the witness
23 indicated, there we go, the witness indicated that
24 is in fact her property. That's to the extreme
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
765
1 right center of the area shown. Immediately to
2 the left, or to the left of that are numbers in
3 red, and those are the wind turbines that have
4 since been withdrawn from consideration by the
5 ZBA.
6 KIM HOLMES: All right. Thank you. Do
7 we have any board members with questions of Susan
8 Johnson? Anybody? Go ahead, Marty.
9 MARTY CLINCH: Mrs. Johnson, your
10 property, and I'm trying to figure out in
11 conjunction with turbine 65, and it's hard to
12 read, sorry, 65 and 60, which are just west of
13 your property, are those going to be a problem?
14 MS. JOHNSON: I'm sorry, could you repeat
15 the numbers again?
16 MARTY CLINCH: Sure. It's turbine 60
17 and turbine 65, which are directly west of that
18 blue marking where I assumed your residence is at.
19 Those two there. Yes. Are those a problem?
20 MS. JOHNSON: No.
21 MARTY CLINCH: Okay. So the ones that
22 are in question are 61, 62 and 63 and 64 that have
23 been eliminated from the wind farm, is that
24 correct?
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
766
1 MS. JOHNSON: Yes.
2 MARTY CLINCH: Okay. Thank you.
3 KIM HOLMES: All right. Anyone else on
4 the board have any questions? Do we have any
5 interested parties that would like to ask this
6 witness a question? Seeing none, thank you very
7 much.
8 (Witness excused.)
9 KIM HOLMES: Our next interested party
10 is Anya Irons. Can you please state your name,
11 spell your name, and then tell us your address.
12 MS. IRONS: It's Anya A-N-Y-A. Last
13 name, I-R-O-N-S. My address is Minonk, Illinois,
14 do I need to say a street too or no? I mean road,
15 not the street.
16 KIM HOLMES: That would be fine.
17 MS. IRONS: It's 3000 East in Minonk.
18 KIM HOLMES: Okay. Would you rather be
19 sworn in or affirmed.
20 (Witness sworn.)
21 KIM HOLMES: Go ahead with your
22 presentation.
23 MS. IRONS: I live in the area where
24 windmill is going to be built on. And I
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
767
1 previously live where windmills already built,
2 previous windmills project.
3 And I just want to tell you that
4 windmills never bother me. I actually really
5 enjoy them, watching them on my porch. I have
6 small children enjoying them too. And they do go
7 to school, to district, and I think the money will
8 help to our school district. And the windmill
9 noise never bother me. You actually will get used
10 to it. I mean, just like you going in the ocean,
11 I mean on the beach and the sound, the ocean
12 sound, it's loud too, and windmill, it doesn't
13 bother me.
14 So, I just want to tell you that I am
15 supporting this project, and I hope it will pass.
16 And I don't know what else to say.
17 KIM HOLMES: All right. Does the board
18 have any questions for Anya Irons? No? Any
19 interested parties have any questions? Not seeing
20 any, thank you very much.
21 (Witness excused.)
22 KIM HOLMES: All right. Our next
23 interested party is Mike Stokes. Please state
24 your name, spell it, give us your address
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
768
1 MR. STOKES: Michael Stokes. I live at
2 40, or M-I-K-E. S-T-O-K-E-S. I live at 409
3 Carlot Court, Washington, Illinois, 61571.
4 KIM HOLMES: Would you prefer to be
5 sworn in or affirmed.
6 (Witness sworn.)
7 KIM HOLMES: You can go ahead and again
8 just a reminder that to keep your evidence, if
9 there's not anything that we haven't heard
10 already, please try not to be repetitive. Thank
11 you.
12 MR. STOKES: Board members, and
13 everybody here, I want to thank you. I know this
14 has been a long trying experience for all of you.
15 And I appreciate your time and trouble.
16 I have lived at El Paso my whole life.
17 I was born and raised there. And now I live in
18 Washington. This windmill, even though it isn't
19 there yet, but it's close, I would like you to
20 turn to page three on the thicker document, the
21 first one I gave you, and there's highlighted in
22 yellow. My talk tonight is on health and safety.
23 We hear so much about the windmills.
24 We've had so many different people up here to
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
769
1 testify. But the windmills is not for our
2 generation. The windmills are going to be are
3 kids, our grand kids, and probably great grand
4 kids. They're going to exist on these locations
5 for a long time. Health matters change. Science
6 is changing all the time as far as different
7 things that we develop and come up with.
8 What I'd like to do, this is an
9 agreement that the wind farm company puts out that
10 the people have to sign away. What this is, and
11 I'll read it, but they sign away all their rights
12 to all these parts. And it says the landowner
13 acknowledges, understands and agrees wind power
14 facilities may cast shadows or flicker on to the
15 property, impact the view from, of, and on the
16 property. And/or otherwise cause visual defects
17 and may cause or emit flashing blinking lights,
18 air turbulence, electromagnetic fields, frequency,
19 interference, infrasound, noise, stray voltage,
20 vibration and wake and other effects related to
21 renewable energy projects for the term the
22 landowner authorizes and consents to the cause and
23 generates of such effects, grants the grantee
24 easements on the property related to such effects,
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
770
1 and waives any or all rights and claims of any
2 kind, nature or type related to such effects and
3 releases, and will hold harmless the grantee
4 personnel from and against any such claims.
5 And then if you go to Section 5, the
6 other highlighted area, this runs with the
7 property for the term, the covenants, burdens and
8 rights contained in and granted in this agreement
9 will run with and against the property and enure
10 to the benefit of and bind the landowners and the
11 guarantee and their respective agents, assigns,
12 employees, heirs, leases, mortgages, permittees,
13 successors and transferees and all entities of a
14 person claiming by, through and under in any other
15 part of the property is transferred; any
16 compensation due under the agreement related to
17 that part of the property will be paid to the
18 successor in title to the property or applicable
19 to that of the property.
20 Basically, if we look at the other page,
21 it's the city ordinance, and this is Livingston
22 County. If you open it up and turn to page two of
23 it, this is what Livingston County has done. They
24 talk about the towers shall be set back --
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
771
1 KIM HOLMES: I'm sorry to interrupt, I
2 apologize for interrupting you, Mr. Stokes, but
3 I'm trying to understand the relevance of the
4 Livingston County.
5 MR. STOKES: What?
6 KIM HOLMES: I'm trying to understand
7 what is the relevance to the Livingston County
8 ordinance being brought into Woodford County?
9 MR. STOKES: Basically because the health
10 and safety, Livingston County has recognized that
11 they have had a problem in the past, and they have
12 increased the distances that they use today.
13 I think that Woodford County should also
14 take a look at this and increase the distances for
15 health and safety, not of just the wind farm
16 people, but all the people in the county.
17 People that spray the fields out there.
18 They're up next to the wind towers. I think the
19 distances people that live there, plus anybody
20 else that would be moving into the county. And
21 it's not for us, it's for our kids, grand kids,
22 and great grand kids 'cuz this is going to be in
23 effect for a long time. They have taken turbines
24 down. Put other turbines up. Re-signed new
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
772
1 agreements, I will agree.
2 But, these agreements are good for 30
3 years with an additional 30 years on top of it.
4 So, that's 60 years that these could possibly be
5 in effect.
6 MR. KEYT: If I could interpose an
7 objection, I think the Livingston County code and
8 testimony regarding whether or not setbacks are
9 appropriate is not appropriate for this venue
10 because we're not here on a text amendment. We're
11 here on a special use and variances. Text
12 amendment is a completely different animal.
13 There's no text amendment before the board, so I
14 would move to strike that testimony.
15 KIM HOLMES: Well, and I would agree
16 with you on this one, Mr. Keyt. Mr. Stokes, have
17 you considered going to conservation and planning
18 and zoning here in Woodford County?
19 MR. STOKES: Do what?
20 KIM HOLMES: Have you considered going
21 to the Woodford County conservation planning and
22 zoning committee to bring this to their attention?
23 MR. STOKES: I will.
24 KIM HOLMES: Okay.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
773
1 MR. STOKES: Anyway, I don't need to read
2 this bottom part then. It's been stricken from
3 the record. However, you all have a copy of it.
4 You pretty much know what it is, but all I can say
5 is that basically we're in this for a long time.
6 Your vote on this subject, and I'm not saying to
7 eliminate the windmills. I'm just saying they
8 need to be looked at in a different way or a
9 different approach.
10 So, I would like to thank all of you for
11 your time and basically we'll see what happens.
12 Any questions?
13 KIM HOLMES: Do the board have any
14 questions for Mr. Stokes? Anyone? Looks like
15 Marty.
16 MARTY CLINCH: Marty Clinch, ZBA. Mr.
17 Stokes, I'm trying to follow your narrative. What
18 is the negative of your experience with existing
19 wind farms? I mean, have you personally had
20 problems with wind farms? I'm not -- sorry, I'm
21 not quite following where your narrative is going.
22 I'm sorry.
23 MR. STOKES: Marty, I have not
24 personally experienced other than driving by,
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
774
1 hearing the wind, hearing the noise with a wind
2 farm. However, when the people sign this
3 agreement, and I really have more problem with the
4 agreement; everybody has said all our witnesses
5 have said how great the wind farm is. And how
6 great all of the science is and how great
7 everything about the wind farm. All their
8 experts. No health problems. No anything like
9 that.
10 But why would you have to give up your
11 rights, your kids rights, your grand kids, your
12 lessees, anybody on any of these problems that
13 they have down in their thing? You can not hold
14 them responsible for anything. So, if in ten
15 years they find that infrasound or flicker or
16 something comes to the horizon, you've already
17 signed it away.
18 And that's the part I disagree with.
19 And these people, I don't know, you guys are
20 responsible for the health and safety of the
21 county. And you're responsible for the health and
22 safety of these people that signed the agreement,
23 probably without reading it, or reading the fine
24 print. So, that's all I have tonight. Thank you.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
775
1 MARTY CLINCH: Thank you.
2 KIM HOLMES: Okay. I have a question,
3 Kim Holmes. Now, this is another setback and
4 impact easement waiver and agreement, correct?
5 MR. STOKES: Pardon?
6 KIM HOLMES: This is another setback and
7 impact easement waiver and agreement?
8 MR. STOKES: This here?
9 KIM HOLMES: Yeah, that you want ahead
10 and gave. And that you went from.
11 MR. STOKES: The first one I gave you.
12 KIM HOLMES: And that you read from?
13 MR. STOKES: The first one I gave you.
14 KIM HOLMES: Yes.
15 MR. STOKES: I think that is the
16 agreement they had for this wind farm, yes.
17 KIM HOLMES: Okay. Is that a private
18 agreement between the landowner and the wind farm?
19 MR. STOKES: No, they gave this agreement
20 to anybody that was a prospective member to sign
21 up for the wind farm. And basically it's become
22 public because so many people have had it and
23 given it out.
24 KIM HOLMES: Right. But is it a private
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
776
1 agreement between two people? Two entities?
2 MR. STOKES: Oh, this agreement here?
3 KIM HOLMES: Yes.
4 MR. STOKES: I'm not a lawyer, ma'am. I
5 don't know whether it's a private agreement. It's
6 what you would have to sign to get into the wind
7 farm.
8 KIM HOLMES: Did you sign one?
9 MR. STOKES: No, I did not.
10 KIM HOLMES: Then you're not held to the
11 standards within it, is that correct?
12 MR. STOKES: No, I did not sign one.
13 KIM HOLMES: Okay. Thank you. Does the
14 board have any other questions? Are there any
15 interested parties that have questions of this
16 witness?
17 MR. KEYT: I think I just have a few and
18 I will be very quick.
19 KIM HOLMES: All right. Mr. Keyt, go
20 ahead.
21 QUESTIONS BY MR. KEYT:
22 Q. I do have a map. Mr. Stokes?
23 A. And I'm not on that map.
24 Q. Okay. I'm going to hand you a copy of
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
777
1 this map. And I just want you to take a look at
2 it. I'm going to give a copy to Lisa too for the
3 record. Okay. Mr. Stokes, I don't want to take
4 up too much of your time.
5 A. That's fine.
6 Q. I just want to, there's a little, if you
7 look on the map there's, towards the bottom,
8 there's two blue squares and two pin numbers
9 there. Do you see those?
10 A. Uh-huh.
11 Q. Is that a yes?
12 A. Yes.
13 Q. Okay. Is that property that you own,
14 Mr. Stokes, or is that something else?
15 A. Oh, the blue squares?
16 Q. Yes, sir.
17 A. I have no clue because I'm not sure
18 where they are from this map.
19 Q. Okay. That's okay.
20 A. But, right now, I am not in the wind
21 farm field per se.
22 Q. Understood.
23 A. But I am close.
24 Q. All right. And it looks to me, if this
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
778
1 is your property, it looks like you're about a
2 mile and a half, two miles away?
3 A. I don't know.
4 Q. Okay. Now, you don't live there? You
5 live in Washington, as I understand it?
6 A. During the COVID, the farm, I have a
7 farm there and a house, machine shed. During the
8 COVID, that farm has been my salvation. I have
9 gone out there, you can't go to anywhere, you
10 can't go to eat, you can't do anything according
11 to our governor. But, I can go out there and I
12 can work on stuff and so forth.
13 So, yes; thank goodness I had that
14 because there is so many people have been cooped
15 up that didn't have that, that haven't been able
16 to go do that. So, I do live out there part time.
17 But, not full time.
18 Q. You typically live in Washington, as I
19 understand it?
20 A. Yes, Washington is my home address.
21 Q. Now, your home, 409 Carlot, that's kind
22 of over by the Super Wal-Mart, or on the other
23 side of the Super Wal-Mart?
24 A. It's in there.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
779
1 Q. So where you live of course you don't
2 have any concerns about this project having any
3 flicker on your home where you live, is that
4 right?
5 A. Not in Washington. However, I do when I
6 go to the farm. And the time that I spend out
7 there.
8 Q. Now, your residence reflected on the map
9 is quite a ways from where the turbines are
10 located, is that fair?
11 A. I suppose.
12 Q. Okay. Mr. Stokes --
13 A. I can't read your map. I'm sorry.
14 Q. Understood. You might be able to see it
15 better up on the screen if you wanted to give that
16 a shot, but that's okay.
17 A. I really -- I really don't know where it
18 is.
19 Q. If you're not able to see it, Mr.
20 Stokes, that's okay.
21 A. I don't know where it's at on the map.
22 Q. Mr. Stokes, I don't have any more
23 questions for you. I appreciate it. Thank you.
24 A. Thank you all. Have a good evening.

1 KIM HOLMES: Thank you, Mr. Stokes.
2 (Witness excused.)
3 KIM HOLMES: All right. We're going to
4 call our next interested party, Robert Huschem.
5 Mr. Huschem, could you please go ahead and state
6 your name, please spell it, and then your address.
7 MR. HUSCHEM: R-O-B-E-R-T. Initial E.
8 H-U-S-C-H-E-M. 706 West Randolph Street, Roanoke,
9 Illinois.
10 KIM HOLMES: Would you rather be sworn
11 or affirmed
12 (witness sworn)
13 KIM HOLMES: You can go with your
14 presentation now.
15 MR. HUSCHEM: I want to thank you all for
16 allowing us to stand up here and share our
17 feelings about this program. I think it's a
18 phenomenal program and I'm here in support of it.
19 I've been here for several meetings, a
20 couple meetings, and I'm very impressed with what
21 the piece, the zoning board of appeals, and also
22 the company, Tri-Global, have really done a great
23 job of explaining things. And it's really, I
24 think it's going to be a wonderful project. And
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
781
1 this is the reasons, some of them. I got four
2 quick reasons.
3 The schools are going to receive, I
4 understand 3.3 million. There's three schools
5 that are going to receive that. That's going to
6 be a good shot in the arm for them. Other taxing
7 bodies in Woodford County such as the highway
8 department and ICC is going to -- a lot of these
9 people are going to be receiving money from this
10 project.
11 The landowner, I happen to be a
12 landowner there, own that farm for 15, 20 years.
13 Bought it after I retired. And the one thing that
14 has been a problem to us farmers is of course our
15 input costs are going up, and the prices have not
16 been that good. And we've been having, the crops
17 in the last few years have been a little bit lame.
18 But what really hurts is that real estate tax of
19 ours has went up from $20 dollars an acre when I
20 bought the farm, to $50.00 an acre today.
21 And so this extra revenue will help us
22 farm. And I'm thankful for that.
23 It appears that Tri-Global and the
24 property owners, they have met probably all of the
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
782
1 rules and regulations, and if they haven't we need
2 to make sure they are met. And then get on with
3 the project because I think it's going to be a
4 benefit for a lot of the people coming behind us.
5 I got more years behind me than I got ahead of me.
6 So, we are really thankful and we're
7 living in a different age. I just was talking to
8 my son the other day, and he was -- my dad drove a
9 truck in Roanoke, Illinois, and he backed up in
10 1921, and he backed up to the mine shaft to drop
11 off some parts they needed from Peoria, drove
12 away. And 15 minutes later 60 feet of the mine
13 shaft went down 60 feet more. But you never hear
14 anything about the biggest business in Woodford
15 County at that time was the Roanoke Coal Company.
16 Well, this is going to be big and it's
17 going to help a lot of people to get clean energy,
18 renewable energy, and I'm just thankful that you
19 folks are taking such a great interest in it. I
20 hope it goes quickly through. Thank you much.
21 KIM HOLMES: Does the board have any
22 questions for Mr. Huschem? Anybody? No. Do we
23 have any interested parties that would like to
24 question this witness? Seeing none, then you are
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
783
1 free to go. Thank you very much.
2 (Witness excused.)
3 KIM HOLMES: Our next interested party
4 is Gary Lutjens. All right. Go ahead and state
5 your name, spell it and then your address, please.
6 MR. LUTJENS: Gary Lutjens.
7 L-U-T-J-E-N-S. 10 Hawthorne Drive, Normal
8 Illinois.
9 KIM HOLMES: I'm going to need to swear
10 you in.
11 (Witness sworn.)
12 KIM HOLMES: Go ahead.
13 MR. LUTJENS: Thank you for this
14 opportunity to provide testimony regarding the
15 special use application for the proposed Panther
16 Grove wind energy project, and thank you for your
17 time and effort considering the application.
18 I'm asking you to not approve the
19 application due to its inability to meet the
20 standards of Woodford County's zoning ordinance.
21 In the application dated October 14th,
22 2020, section four, the applicant seeks approval
23 to build its choice of any one of seven different
24 specific turbine configurations. And seeks an
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
784
1 approval for an eighth hypothetical configuration,
2 referenced on page 4-7.
3 Regarding sound, in appendix T, page
4 5-1, the first paragraph, it states the Vestas
5 V 140-4.3, with a 105 meter hub height was modeled
6 to determine impacts to various residences.
7 The next paragraph states, provided
8 another turbine model is selected, the project
9 would still be designed to meet the applicable
10 IPCB sound level limits at each nonparticipating
11 residence. Meeting the sound level limits at each
12 nonparticipating residence may require the use of
13 noise reduction modes to mitigate individual
14 turbines or siting the turbines at specific
15 locations to reduce impacts to below their
16 respective limits.
17 What does this mean? Does it mean the
18 applicant has only modeled one turbine
19 configuration? And if it chooses another, it may
20 need to mitigate or move them but aren't sure? I
21 should say, isn't sure.
22 That's what it means to me. Why is
23 there this uncertainty? Is it because not all the
24 possible turbine configurations were modeled?
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
785
1 Shouldn't each one be modeled? I'm not able to
2 answer those questions. I hope you will consider
3 them before you make an approval decision.
4 Other aspects of the application show it
5 fails to satisfy all of the standards of the
6 counting zoning ordinance. The project's impact
7 on public health, safety and welfare concerns me.
8 Expert witness, Jonathan Rogers, made
9 the following statements about blade safety.
10 Quote, "I have not seen any safety zones specified
11 for any modern turbine. Blade failure on modern
12 wind turbines is exceptionally rare. It's so rare
13 that it's extremely unlikely that a blade would
14 fail at all during a project lifetime. And it's
15 so rare, in fact, that we really haven't been able
16 to gather statistics on how often it happens,"
17 closed quote.
18 Just three months ago, less than 30
19 miles away at the Bright Stalk wind farm in
20 northern McLean County three blades broke. I have
21 provided a news story from the Pantagraph as
22 Exhibit B. The story states that construction was
23 completed at the end of 2019. Two wind towers
24 manufactured by Vestas experienced blade failures
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
786
1 on September 7th, and the third experienced blade
2 failure on September 15th. The story quotes local
3 farmer Tim Jolly as saying, quote, "I've got one
4 2,000 feet behind my house. My property line is
5 600, 700 feet -- 600 to 700 feet from that
6 windmill. Those things are 550 feet tall. I have
7 seen some pictures of aerial shots around
8 windmills that broke and there's debris out in the
9 field. The people who signed up to have those on
10 their property should be deathly afraid of what
11 could happen." End quote.
12 Tim Jolly is here today as my witness
13 and he will share his testimony after me. The
14 story continues, quoting McLean County board
15 member Don Havaleny who voted against the project
16 citing safety concerns; quote. "It was very
17 contentious, it was a very contentious
18 controversial topic and probably one of the more
19 contentious issues I had to deal with on the
20 county board. We approved wind farms long before
21 EDP renewables, and they have been around for a
22 while, but there have always been questions as to
23 their safety and issues like that. This really
24 brings it home when you see what can happen", end
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
787
1 quote.
2 I've also attached a news story from
3 Radio Iowa as Exhibit C reporting on blade
4 breakage on 46 turbines during September and
5 October in Iowa. If blade failure is so rare that
6 an expert witness hasn't been able to gather
7 statistics on how often it happens, perhaps it
8 should seek the assistance of nonexperts.
9 Panther Grove's application falls flat
10 on its face with respect to providing assurance
11 that the special use will not be detrimental to
12 the public health, safety and welfare. Standard A
13 of the zoning ordinance.
14 I have felt for sometime that Woodford
15 County setbacks don't protect nonparticipating
16 property owners sufficiently. My family was
17 impacted when turbines were installed around our
18 nonparticipating farm property and farmsteads at
19 the Minonk wind farm.
20 My plan had been to return to live on
21 the farm property after I retired from my job in
22 Bloomington Normal. I just wanted to have a
23 peaceful spot to live on, but no such spot exists
24 there any more.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
788
1 I was glad to see a public invitation
2 was extended by the county's conservation planning
3 and zoning committee to solicit input, public
4 input, on setbacks at its meeting on August 12,
5 2019. Several others and I attended to provide
6 input.
7 Three individuals stated that they felt
8 the setbacks were too short. Livingston County
9 setbacks were recommended as an example to follow.
10 The minutes from that meeting, which I provided as
11 Exhibit D, stated the committee later discussed
12 the setbacks and felt quote, "we are fine where we
13 are," end quote. These setbacks have now allowed
14 Panther Grove to propose a new project to the west
15 and south of the Minonk wind farm.
16 Panther Grove's footprint is positioned
17 such that turbines T 21 and T 22 are sited in the
18 section just east of our farm in section 12 of
19 Roanoke Township. The applicant has provided no
20 assurance that the Panther Grove project, if
21 approved, will be less impactful than the Minonk
22 wind farm, to the quality of life many rural
23 residents value and expect in a rural agricultural
24 setting.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
789
1 If the Panther Grove project is
2 approved, how many other families will have
3 members who would like to live and raise families
4 on property, on family property, but are dissuaded
5 by industrial development nearby? How many
6 outsiders will want to move here? How many
7 current residence will want to leave? Does
8 Woodford County care? Regardless of the county's
9 role in incentivizing big wind, the applicant
10 still bears the burden to provide assurance that
11 the special use will not be injurious to the use
12 and enjoyment of the property in the immediate
13 area for the purposes already permitted, standard
14 B. It has failed to do that.
15 In conclusion, standards A and B of the
16 zoning ordinance at a minimum are not met by
17 Panther Grove's special use application. Please
18 don't let the county make the same mistakes twice.
19 I ask you to not approve this application. Thank
20 you.
21 KIM HOLMES: Does the board have any
22 questions for Mr. Lutjens? Anybody? Mr. Keyt, do
23 you have questions for this witness?
24 QUESTIONS BY MR. KEYT:
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
790
1 Q. Very briefly. So, Mr. Lutjens, are you
2 aware there's around 57,000 turbines in the United
3 States?
4 A. Yes, Mr. Green mentioned that this
5 afternoon at the beginning of the meeting.
6 Q. And what you've brought to us today was
7 that there was, I think two blade failures that
8 you mentioned, and then perhaps one in Iowa?
9 A. Repeat that, please?
10 Q. What you mentioned here in your
11 testimony is that there was two blade failures and
12 one in Iowa, is that?
13 A. I should have said three. If I said
14 two, it's actually three.
15 Q. And so out of the 57,000, what you're
16 aware of is that there's been three blade failures
17 that you are aware of?
18 A. I'm aware of the three here in Central
19 Illinois and the 46 in Iowa.
20 Q. Okay. Let me ask you, Mr. Lutjens, you
21 live in Normal?
22 A. Correct.
23 Q. How long have you lived in Normal?
24 A. Since 1986.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
791
1 Q. Since you lived there for, what is that?
2 34 years?
3 A. Correct.
4 Q. Mr. Lutjens, I presume you're not
5 concerned about a blade breaking off and impacting
6 your house in Normal, is that fair?
7 A. Correct. And that's not the issue.
8 Q. Well, that was my question. My question
9 is --
10 A. Correct.
11 Q. Okay.
12 A. I'm not concerned about it impacting my
13 house, but I am worried about it.
14 MR. KEYT: That is all the questions I
15 have. I will object and move to strike the
16 testimony regarding setback issues. There is no
17 text amendment pending before the board.
18 Therefore it's not relevant.
19 KIM HOLMES: Your objection has been
20 noted. I'm not sure which part of that
21 specifically.
22 MR. KEYT: He had some testimony that he
23 gave regarding setbacks, and I think he testified
24 that, or he stated that his opinion is that they
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
792
1 were not appropriate in Woodford County.
2 MR. LUTJENS: I didn't address any
3 inappropriateness or appropriateness. I made no
4 comment with respect to appropriateness.
5 KIM HOLMES: All right. Are there any
6 other questions of this witness? Any interested
7 parties have a question for this witness? Seeing
8 none, thank you.
9 (Witness excused.)
10 MR. LUTJENS: I have a witness, Tim
11 Jolly, he was the subject within that Pantagraph
12 story. He can share his experiences in more
13 detail regarding that failure and related wind
14 farm energy issues there.
15 MR. KEYT: For the record, I'll object
16 to someone not previously signed up as an
17 interested party.
18 KIM HOLMES: All right. Our position
19 has always been that interested parties may call
20 witnesses. Mr. Lutjens, do you have a question
21 for your witness? You may go ahead. Please state
22 your name, spell it, and then your address.
23 MR. JOLLY: My name is Tim Jolly. T-I-M.
24 J-O-L-L-Y. Address is 2600 North Road, Chenoa,
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
793
1 it's about halfway between Chenoa and Lexington.
2 KIM HOLMES: All right. Would you
3 prefer to be sworn in or affirm.
4 (Witness sworn.)
5 KIM HOLMES: Go ahead.
6 MR. JOLLY: Okay. There is a few points
7 that I'd like to make. The windmill blades that
8 were broke off are approximately -- the one is
9 within a mile of my house. The other two are
10 about two miles away from that location.
11 This is on three different windmills,
12 and it's three windmills that are affected out of
13 54. So, that to me is a pretty high percentage as
14 far as the total project there.
15 The first two happened over Labor Day
16 weekend. One happened on Sunday night possibly
17 'cuz it was foggy that day. And so people didn't
18 really even know it until the fog had cleared.
19 The following day was basically when the second
20 one went at a different location about two, three
21 miles away.
22 Then, I do a mail route in the area as
23 well, so I'm out there every day. I do a 100 mile
24 route in that area. So, I watch what's going on.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
794
1 After the first one is broke, they didn't shut
2 down the wind farm. I refuse to call it a wind
3 farm. The wind project. It's industrial. They
4 didn't even shut down the other windmills. And I
5 was curious and puzzled why. I have phone numbers
6 for EDPR and Invenergy both, and called them and
7 they said they didn't have a need to. I asked
8 them why the blade had broken. They could give me
9 no answer.
10 So then during the week they continued
11 to operate. It was I believe eight days later the
12 third windmill blade broke. And I noticed because
13 I was on the route, all of a sudden then all of
14 the windmills stopped.
15 I'll never forget that morning too
16 because they have these newer windmills, the
17 blades curve an extreme amount. It looks like
18 they almost hit the tower when they're coming
19 around. And it depends on the wind speed how they
20 pitch the blade to catch the wind. And so that
21 morning the wind was not enough to pitch them to
22 keep them straight so they were catching as much
23 air as they could, and the blade were bent. So
24 they were stressed pretty good. You could see how
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
795
1 stressed they are.
2 And then when I saw that they were all
3 shut down, I was curious what happened. And
4 that's when I could see on the horizon the third
5 windmill had broken off. And I immediately called
6 a friend of mine, and I go, but there was only
7 two. They said yeah, I go now I see three. So
8 they waited a full eight days until they actually
9 shut the wind project down. That concerned me a
10 lot.
11 Where I live, I live on our family farm.
12 It's been in our family since 1864. I'm a 5th
13 generation farmer. I'm a nonparticipant. My own
14 cousin signed up his property right behind us.
15 And so now I have a windmill 2,000 feet from my
16 corner of my house. I have six of them within a
17 mile. And there's not a night that I can't go out
18 with the wind blowing and I can pick out which one
19 is making the noise. They're all around you.
20 I even experience what I believe is
21 infrasound. It's debated that it doesn't do
22 anything. And I don't even know if that's what it
23 can be identified as. But, I hear this low
24 rumbling. I wake up overnight at 1:30, one
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
796
1 o'clock, I wake up at 3 o'clock, the alarm is set
2 for five. And I'm already up at 4:30. And if I
3 lay there and I even confirm this with my wife,
4 you can hear this low wave rumble. It sounds like
5 a truck may be sitting outside.
6 And that concerns me long-term. I'm not
7 one that has health issues. I feel like I'm
8 healthy. I have gotten replacement parts, I'm
9 ready to go for however long I can go. But this
10 concerns me having to be woke up different times
11 during the night.
12 The sound during the daytime, when the
13 wind is blowing at certain times and certain
14 velocities, to me it sounds like a jet engine test
15 laboratory. And I mean, it's loud. And it
16 just -- Whoosh. And it keeps going. And it won't
17 stop because the wind don't stop. The only refuge
18 I have is to go back in the house. But like I
19 said, that sound even is in the house from, that I
20 can witness with my sleep.
21 When wind isn't blowing, and I've talked
22 to the guys that work at EDPR, they feed
23 electricity to move these blades so that it keeps
24 the gear boxes lubricated. Makes perfect sense.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
797
1 But, instead of it just being quiet, you can hear
2 popping, and then you also hear this sound that
3 just goes, woo, wooooo, and it don't stop. And
4 it's very audible up at the house.
5 When they had these permits okayed, we
6 were told that we were going to have acousticians
7 come out and be able to give us some kind of
8 information as to what the noise levels are. We
9 have yet to see it. They started these, it would
10 have been the spring of, well, 2020. They
11 actually started up, that was right at Christmas.
12 They started installing them in 2019. And I can't
13 get any phone calls back.
14 Back to the broken blades. I've asked
15 them and asked them what happened to the blades.
16 I'm concerned because I have a windmill that's on
17 my neighbor's property, my own cousin's property,
18 six to 700 feet from my property line.
19 I've got aerial footage on my phone of
20 what happened to these three windmills, and the
21 debris field out in the bean field. I'm concerned
22 these are 550 feet tall, and like your ordinance,
23 is 1.1 times the height to roads, to property
24 lines. To things that I believe, and I've even
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
798
1 heard of ice throw, that these things, they got
2 whatever they try to keep them from throwing ice,
3 but I've even heard of ice throw. It seems like
4 an awful close proximity to roads where people
5 travel every day, property line where I could be
6 out there working ground, and thankfully these
7 three blades that broke there wasn't somebody
8 working in the field right there. Luckily it
9 wasn't in harvest or in spring when they were
10 there and they wouldn't have a clue what hit them.
11 These things weigh 18,000 pounds, that's blades
12 do. And they came apart. And we don't know why.
13 The bigger they make 'em, the more
14 stress is going to be able to put on 'em. I think
15 the possibility of even more blade breaking. And
16 there is, all over the Internet you can find them
17 in Iowa, over in Australia; I mean, there's all
18 kinds of blades breaking. But to claim to be very
19 rare, and to hardly ever happen, is -- it's a
20 total misstatement. Because now we have three out
21 of 54 that have broken. In the Invenergy project,
22 which is next door, they have already replaced a
23 blade and they aren't even up and running yet.
24 They're not safe. These sounds that
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
799
1 they put off, like the one fella said, our kids,
2 our grand kids, great grand kids, who knows what
3 the health implication is going to be down the
4 road. The biggest thing that I think that needs
5 to be paid attention to is participants and
6 nonparticipants.
7 Participants sign a contract. They're
8 tied to it. There's nothing they can do. But
9 there is absolutely nothing that protects a
10 nonparticipant, gives no compensation, does
11 nothing to protect them from what may happen to
12 them on their own property. I commend you for
13 having the setbacks to the borderline of possibly
14 a yard. I think that's a great idea. Because you
15 should have full use of your entire barn yard.
16 And which could include livestock.
17 But the whole thing is, is the setbacks
18 aren't big enough. And I know you're going to
19 object and want to throw it out. But, in McLean
20 County, because I objected, the setback was set at
21 1,650 feet to my house. And only because I
22 objected, and I did not ask for it, the zoning
23 committee, zoning board, put it back to 2,000
24 feet. I'm very thankful. You have the power to
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
800
1 be able to work within means to make sure that
2 nonparticipants I believe are going to be able to
3 be more protected.
4 And I'm hoping that that can be done
5 here as well. Go through my notes. I don't want
6 to be repetitive. But, the main thing is, the
7 nonparticipants are the clear majority in the
8 countryside. There was five or six hundred people
9 that I spoke for. And you have a handful of
10 people that sign up. And then we have to live
11 with it.
12 I'm very interested in keeping the
13 environment pristine. I farm. It's my life.
14 These are not the answer to what our future will
15 bring. They're bothersome. They ruin the
16 horizon. We used to have bald eagles come into
17 our area. I would have sightings on the mail
18 route four or five times a year. Haven't seen a
19 one since they started construction. They grind
20 up our roads. We had 45 miles of gravel roads and
21 we still to this day do. And they started in
22 April of '19.
23 When they retopped the ones that they
24 started on, they have road agreements with the
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
801
1 road commissioners, so this is partially road
2 commissioner's responsibility. But they did a
3 layer chip and tar, did another layer chip and
4 tar, and that's it. These roads have been built
5 up tar and chip since the 1940s. My grandpa even
6 helped. And they put these two layers on, and
7 right now we have roads that are like
8 washboards. They have dropoffs on the edge. They
9 have tracks where right after they did it, it was
10 harvest. And we have heavy trucks. Everybody has
11 got semis now. So the roads aren't even built to
12 handle the traffic that we're going to have.
13 I love the environment. I want to take
14 care of it. It's been testified by several
15 companies these things are only 30 percent
16 efficient. 30 percent efficient. If I farmed at
17 30 percent efficiency, I'd be out of business
18 before I started. They don't belong here. We've
19 got the richest farm ground possibly in the world.
20 I believe in the world. I've seen such damage to
21 this farm ground and stuff that's in the ground
22 that will never come out. Never. They bulldoze
23 across fields in two, 300 foot wide paths digging
24 three, four, five trenches five feet deep, with
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
802
1 five or six big track hoes industrial just packin'
2 the ground. It will never be the same. It will
3 never be the same.
4 The roads themselves were gravel, like I
5 said, and I made phone calls three, four times a
6 day sometimes, wanting water on the roads. Like I
7 said, I do a mail route. 100 miles. I'm out in
8 this gravel. I've ruined two cars. One the
9 interior was so white you couldn't even tell what
10 color it was. I wore these dust masks every day
11 because I had to. And they don't even last
12 through the day. And I still coughed up stuff at
13 the end of the day.
14 They tear up your whole infrastructure.
15 They make it almost impossible, and sometimes they
16 close roads without even telling you. We have two
17 overpasses between Chenoa and Lexington. They
18 shut one down, where is the ambulance going to go
19 if it's going towards Lexington or Bloomington to
20 get -- you have to go clear back and around. We
21 had an incident not too long ago where my wife
22 went to the hospital. Called at midnight, one
23 o'clock in the morning. They came, and instead of
24 going the route which would have been through a
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
803
1 gravel road to go over one of those overpasses,
2 instead of going to Bloomington to the south, they
3 went to Chenoa to the north. She had issues. And
4 it was life-threatening. And they go the wrong
5 way because they couldn't and didn't want to go
6 across gravel roads.
7 This is a life issue. I feel sorry for
8 the people like me that are nonparticipants and
9 have to deal with this. I don't want to leave
10 there. We've spent our entire, we put geothermal
11 in. We put a solar panel up. We've done
12 everything we can to the house, we want to spend
13 the rest of our life there. And then these come.
14 And we have no say. And we're done. We have to
15 stay inside or play a radio outside. The days
16 after them things were shut down was the best days
17 since they started the project.
18 It was like it was. I heard birds. I
19 could hear coyotes in the distance. I could hear
20 things that were happening that were there all
21 along. But all's you hear is that 747 over your
22 house. It's not worth it to the people that are
23 nonparticipants. They need to be put in
24 nonpopulated areas. I don't have a problem with
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
804
1 the concept. But you need to keep them away,
2 especially from nonparticipants.
3 And I believe that's all I have. I
4 appreciate your time. I appreciate you taking the
5 time to do this. I know it's very strenuous, can
6 be on you. But I appreciate you taking the time
7 to do so.
8 KIM HOLMES: Thank you, Mr. Jolly. Does
9 the board have any questions for Mr. Jolly? No?
10 Mr. Heil?
11 MR. HEIL: Yes, I have a few questions.
12 Thank you very much.
13 KIM HOLMES: Say your name for the
14 recorder.
15 MR. HEIL: This is John Heil, H-E-I-L.
16 On behalf of the applicant.
17 QUESTIONS BY MR. HEIL:
18 Q. And as a first thing, as Mr. Jolly
19 expected me to, I would like to pose an objection
20 as to his comments regarding the setbacks present
21 here in Woodford County. This is not the proper
22 forum for that. This is not the --
23 KIM HOLMES: I think the board
24 understands it that we have our setbacks within
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
805
1 our ordinance. Yes.
2 Q. Okay. I just want to make sure to
3 interpose that. Mr. Jolly, in talking about
4 setbacks, by the way, do you happen to know what
5 the setback requirements are here in Woodford
6 County?
7 A. Well, if we're not talking about
8 setbacks and you object to them, then why are we
9 going to deal with that now?
10 Q. Well, you mentioned that you believe the
11 turbines in your community or in your area aren't
12 far enough away from your family farm. Is that
13 correct?
14 A. If you say that's what I stated, then
15 that's what I stated. I don't know. What's your
16 question I guess?
17 Q. Is it your position that you live too
18 close to wind turbines in that, or wind projects
19 you've been talking about?
20 A. Absolutely.
21 Q. And how far do you live from the closest
22 wind turbine?
23 A. 2,000 feet.
24 Q. You talked at length about incidents you
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
806
1 recounted about what we will call blade failures,
2 is that correct?
3 A. Call what?
4 Q. Blade failures or the breaking of wind
5 turbine blades, correct?
6 A. Breaking the wind turbine blade, yes.
7 Q. And you testified that you were aware of
8 three of them, is that correct?
9 A. Correct.
10 Q. Okay.
11 A. Four of them actually total. One was in
12 the Invenergy project that I stated later. Three
13 is in the EDPR project.
14 Q. And the EDPR project is the one more or
15 less in the vicinity of where you live, is that
16 correct?
17 A. Correct.
18 Q. Now, you live in the Chenoa area, is
19 that correct?
20 A. Correct.
21 Q. McLean County?
22 A. Yep.
23 Q. Okay. Now, with respect to the
24 particular blade failures in that project that you
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
807
1 mentioned, are you aware of any property damage
2 that resulted from that blade failure?
3 A. You want to restate that, please?
4 There's like an echo. Maybe if you step away from
5 the microphone just a hair.
6 KIM HOLMES: Mr. Jolly, please speak
7 into the microphone and don't over talk him. Let
8 him speak and then you finish.
9 A. I just can't understand him with the
10 echo or whatever, so I'm just trying to clarify.
11 Go ahead and restate your question, I'm sorry.
12 Q. Are you aware of any property damage
13 arising out of the blade failures you discussed?
14 A. Yes.
15 Q. What was that property damage?
16 A. Crop damage.
17 Q. I see. None of these blades parts
18 struck a home, a barn or an out building or
19 anything like that, correct?
20 A. No. There's nothing even close to
21 these.
22 Q. Okay.
23 A. They're even away further than the
24 setbacks are allowed at these three windmills.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
808
1 Q. At the same time therefore I assume you
2 are not aware of any personal injury, anybody
3 getting hurt by any of these wind turbine blade
4 parts, correct?
5 A. I haven't been made a part of that.
6 Q. Apart from what you've recounted here
7 tonight, are you personally aware of any data
8 about blade failures, either nationally or
9 internationally?
10 A. You mean statistics or data? Data
11 itself would indicate that they happen and they do
12 happen all over the world.
13 Q. All right. Well, then we will use your
14 word, we will use statistics. Are you aware of
15 any statistics about the frequency of that
16 occurrence?
17 A. Without having a computer in front of me
18 and pulling it up, I could find you something.
19 But, I wasn't aware I was going to be asked that
20 tonight.
21 Q. You indicated that you have a mail route
22 in the area, is that fair to say?
23 A. Correct.
24 Q. Apart from the mail route, do you have
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
809
1 another profession as well as that?
2 A. I farm.
3 Q. Okay. Do you have any expertise in
4 mechanical engineering?
5 A. I do all the work on my equipment. I
6 would say I engineer and do mechanical work rather
7 well, yes, sir.
8 Q. Do you have a degree in mechanical
9 engineering?
10 A. Well, I have an associate degree in
11 diesel technology, if that helps.
12 Q. You mentioned sound quite a bit. And
13 you described it about four or five different
14 ways. I think the last time you mentioned a 747.
15 Have you actually been in the vicinity of a Boeing
16 747 aircraft, sir?
17 A. Absolutely.
18 Q. Are you, before this board tonight,
19 comparing the sound of a Boeing 747 with its four
20 engines to the sound of a wind turbine or 80 wind
21 turbines?
22 A. At its appropriate distance, I would
23 guarantee you I am associating it with the sound
24 of a jet engine.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
810
1 Q. Do you have any statistics using your
2 terminology that would substantiate that
3 assertion?
4 A. I would say 100 percent of the time I
5 hear it, I think the same thing, yes.
6 Q. You talked briefly about what you
7 referred to as infrasound as well. Is that
8 correct?
9 A. I referred to that, yes.
10 Q. Okay. Is it your understanding that
11 infrasound is by definition a sound one can not
12 hear?
13 A. That was regarded and spoken by earlier,
14 research that I have heard it's a low frequency,
15 it's not that it can't be heard, but you have to
16 have sensitivity to it. It's been likened to what
17 the kids now have with sub woofers in the low
18 reverberations. I can sure hear that.
19 So I am saying that it's infrasound, but
20 I don't know if it is because I have nobody that
21 has come back out to check it out from the
22 companies.
23 Q. Have you requested somebody other than
24 from who you refer to as "the companies" come to
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
811
1 your house and measure that sound?
2 A. I'm planning on it, yes.
3 Q. You haven't done it to date though,
4 correct?
5 A. As of today, no. I've recorded it on my
6 phone. I've done things like that. But I have
7 not had somebody actually do an acoustic study.
8 Q. My understanding as well from your
9 testimony is that although you have concerns, you
10 haven't been diagnosed with any actual malady or
11 physical condition relating to wind turbine sounds
12 or any other phenomenon from the wind farm, is
13 that correct?
14 A. I have not gone to a doctor and
15 discussed this with him.
16 Q. So although you came here tonight and
17 expressed some concerns perhaps from the future,
18 that level of concern hasn't elevated to the point
19 that thus far anyway that inspired you to go to
20 the doctor, correct?
21 A. My concerns are genuine in that I'm
22 understanding as we go. This is new to me. I'm
23 learning as we go as well.
24 When I find that I feel adverse health
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
812
1 effects, I will go to a doctor. I don't go to a
2 doctor. I'm not friends with doctors. I try to
3 do what I can with what I have.
4 Q. I understand that.
5 A. The thing is, as of to date, I have no
6 diagnosis, because I haven't asked the doctor
7 about it. Now, in the future, and I don't know
8 when, if I have sleep deprivation, if I have
9 things that I'm going to be calling attention to
10 that, I'm going to be all over it. So as of now I
11 have no diagnosis.
12 Q. I have no further questions. Thank you.
13 KIM HOLMES: Mr. Lutjens, do you have
14 any questions for your witness?
15 MR. LUTJENS: No.
16 KIM HOLMES: Again, I'm going to ask the
17 board if they have any questions of Mr. Jolly?
18 QUESTIONS BY MARTY CLINCH:
19 Q. Mr. Jolly, Marty Clinch from ZBA. It's
20 a little hard to hear your testimony because of
21 the technology problems we've got. I wanted to
22 ask you about the failed turbines that you
23 witnessed. Was it all three blades that failed on
24 that one turbine?
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
813
1 A. No, sir. It wasn't. It was three
2 different turbines. And one blade broke off on
3 each. They did just replace all three blades on
4 the first turbine that they worked on. I visually
5 saw the blade on the ground and there was another
6 one that had a great big fracture down it. It was
7 one blade per turbine, yes, sir.
8 Q. And there was how many turbines that
9 had damaged blades?
10 A. Three turbines in the EDPR project and
11 one turbine in the Invenergy project.
12 Q. Okay. And correct me if I'm wrong, but
13 did the turbines continue to operate with the
14 damaged blades?
15 A. The ones that had the broken blade of
16 course were shut down. They would have, I mean
17 the blade was broke off. There's no way that they
18 probably could have turned with balance. But the
19 remaining ones in the project, it would be 52 to
20 begin with, and then when the third one broke
21 that's when they shut all of them down a week
22 later.
23 Q. Okay. So, none of the damaged turbines
24 that had damaged blades were in operation?
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
814
1 A. When they actually broke I couldn't tell
2 you. But, after they broke of course they weren't
3 in operation.
4 Q. Okay. And you say you witnessed the
5 blades in the corn fields; how far away would you
6 say the blade throw was from the turbine?
7 A. The aerial photo from a drone that I
8 saw, it would be a few hundred feet, would be my
9 best guess. It's kind of hard to give a size
10 dimension with how big these things are.
11 Q. Okay. Was it the total blade or was it
12 just pieces that flew 100 feet?
13 A. There were pieces further out in the
14 field. For the most part, the majority of the
15 blade, one basically wrapped right around the base
16 of the turbine tower. Another one it was pieces
17 out in the field. I think that was the third one,
18 which like I had stated they were running that
19 day. And so those were out further in the field.
20 Q. Okay. And was there any damage to the
21 turbine, the generator, the nacelle or anything
22 like that? Or was it just the damage contained to
23 the blades themselves?
24 A. No, sir. There was damage on the top of
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
815
1 the turbine, the nacelle they call it, there was
2 like a, I would term it, I haven't been up close,
3 but it looks like a cooling tower that's got
4 antennas and then it's got the lights up there.
5 And one of those had half of the framework of it
6 ripped off.
7 Then another one had where the turbine
8 blade kind of stayed intact and wrapped around the
9 rotor itself. And then whipped around in the main
10 tower going down. But, that, I did see the damage
11 to the nacelle in the top of the cooling tower and
12 they did replace all of that as well.
13 Q. Okay. And how far away were these
14 damaged turbines from your house?
15 A. One was approximately three-quarters of
16 a mile from my house. And the other two were
17 approximately maybe one and a half to two miles
18 from there.
19 Q. Okay. Thank you. Appreciate it.
20 That's all I've got.
21 A. Okay. The one that was closest over to
22 the east was the setback, I think it was setback
23 to the Weston Colfax blacktop, which is a county
24 highway.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
816
1 MARTY CLINCH: Thank you.
2 KIM HOLMES: All right. Is there anyone
3 else on the board that has any questions? Do we
4 have any interested parties that have a question
5 for this witness? Seeing none, thank you very
6 much, Mr. Jolly
7 (Witness excused.)
8 MR. LUTJENS: May I ask a question, may
9 I add some testimony to what I just gave as part
10 of my presentation before it's in?
11 KIM HOLMES: You still have your time,
12 Mr. Lutjens.
13 MR. LUTJENS: Okay. Thank you. And
14 during the cross examination that I faced some of
15 the questions --
16 KIM HOLMES: I'm sorry, for the
17 recorder, just let her know who you are. She
18 can't see you.
19 MR. LUTJENS: Okay. This is Gary
20 Lutjens. L-U-T-J-E-N-S. During my cross
21 examination, many of the questions asked of me
22 seemed to create a picture that I'm an absentee
23 landlord or retiree from my job in town, and
24 that's not true. I'm an active farmer. I
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
817
1 currently live in Bloomington Normal. I farm the
2 farm ground that I referred to. I own, co-own
3 that ground with my brother and sister. So, my
4 concerns deal with my involvement while I'm there,
5 and with respect to me and part of my testimony as
6 you heard deals with the concerns I have for the
7 other people in the area. Thank you.
8 KIM HOLMES: All right. Again, I'm
9 going to ask if any further questions of Mr.
10 Lutjens? Are there any other? Mr. Keyt, do you
11 have a question for Mr. Lutjens?
12 QUESTIONS BY MR. KEYT:
13 Q. I just got a couple. Your property in
14 Woodford County, looks like there's -- looks like
15 three spots where you have property in Woodford
16 County?
17 A. It depends how you define spot.
18 Q. I can give you the map if you want the
19 map.
20 A. Sure.
21 Q. Are you able to see that map, Mr.
22 Lutjens?
23 A. I can see the map. I'm having trouble
24 figuring out where everything is at. It's very
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
818
1 unlike any other map I've seen. Other than wind
2 farm applications.
3 Q. Well, on the blue, the blue squares
4 there, I'll represent to you that it appears those
5 are the properties that you own, is that correct?
6 A. Which way is north on this?
7 Q. If you are holding it with the sticker
8 on the bottom, the exhibit sticker on the bottom,
9 north is straight up.
10 A. Okay. I see that. The scale is so
11 unusual, I'm having trouble navigating my parcels.
12 Supposed parcels. Oh, I see. Yes. I see the --
13 so your question again? I see my farm ground in
14 Roanoke Township.
15 Q. So, the farm ground that you own looks
16 like it's about 5,000 feet away from the nearest,
17 or over a mile away from the nearest turbine?
18 A. You're only referring to my part of my
19 own farm ground. Part of my presentation dealt
20 with the Minonk wind farm. That's not the Minonk
21 wind farm.
22 Q. Okay. So you're concerned about the
23 Minonk wind farm?
24 A. I used that for context.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
819
1 Q. Okay. On the map, it has the wind
2 turbines depicted there, it has your properties
3 depicted in blue.
4 A. Correct.
5 Q. There's a legend on the side that has an
6 indication of distance in miles, you can look at
7 there and you can see that your property is about
8 a mile away from the closest wind turbine?
9 A. The farmstead is approximately a mile
10 away. The edge of the nonparticipating ground is
11 probably less than a mile away to turbine 21.
12 Q. Okay. That's the turbine that we moved
13 northeast, do you recall that?
14 A. Yes.
15 Q. So it's even farther away than it is?
16 It's even farther away than that?
17 A. Perhaps. I don't know exactly from this
18 map. If it is, it's probably not too much more
19 than a mile.
20 Q. It was moved a thousand feet.
21 A. From where it was?
22 Q. Where it was.
23 A. Okay. I thought you were referring to
24 from my parcel.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
820
1 Q. No, it's about -- it was moved about a
2 thousand feet from where it was.
3 A. Okay.
4 Q. So, you'll agree with what I represented
5 is your property is about a mile from where these
6 are located?
7 A. Approximately. I don't know -- I don't
8 know if it's measured from the property, I think.
9 Q. We're almost done here so I'll wrap it
10 up. Your property on the far eastern side of the
11 county, that's closest to the Minonk project,
12 isn't it?
13 A. Repeat that, please.
14 Q. Your property on the far eastern side of
15 the county, that's closer to the Minonk project?
16 A. It's within the footprint of the Minonk
17 wind farm.
18 Q. Okay. All right, sir. That's all the
19 questions I have for you. Thank you.
20 KIM HOLMES: All right. Are there any
21 other questions for Mr. Lutjens? Interested
22 parties? Any questions for Mr. Lutjens? Seeing
23 none, thank you.
24 You may go sit down.

2 KIM HOLMES: Our next interested party
3 is Fred Vogel.
4 MR. KEYT: I think Mr. Vogel is just
5 submitting a letter.
6 KIM HOLMES: Just a letter. Okay. All
7 right. And our last interested party for the
8 night is Joe Kapraun.
9 MR. KEYT: Mr. Kapraun is here, he does
10 have a letter.
11 KIM HOLMES: All right. Mr. Kapraun,
12 would you please state your name, spell your name,
13 and give us your address.
14 MR. KAPRAUN: Joe Kapraun. J-O-E.
15 K-A-P-R-A-U-N.
16 KIM HOLMES: And your address.
17 MR. KAPRAUN: 801 North Grant Street in
18 El Paso.
19 KIM HOLMES: All right. Would you
20 rather be sworn in or affirmed
21 (Witness sworn.)
22 MR. KAPRAUN: Madam chairman and the
23 honorable officers of the board. Thank you so
24 much for this forum. Out of respect for your time
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
822
1 I'm gotten written testimony I provided to the
2 zoning officer back in November and I'm pleased to
3 submit that as is. I am in support of the farm.
4 Are there any questions for me?
5 KIM HOLMES: Does the board have any
6 questions for Mr. Kapraun? Right now I think we
7 are just reading your letter. I didn't know if
8 you wanted to read the letter.
9 MR. KAPRAUN: I can. Out of respect of
10 your time this evening, I don't have to, if you'd
11 rather read it.
12 KIM HOLMES: Well, that's up to you.
13 This is your time. If you prefer not to read it,
14 that's -- okay. Lisa, does anybody else have any
15 questions? Can they see the letter? Okay. All
16 right. It doesn't look like the board has any
17 questions. Do we have any interested parties that
18 have a question for Mr. Kapraun at this time?
19 Seeing none, I'm not quite sure, I think at this
20 time if you are up here and you've been sworn in.
21 MR. KAPRAUN: Sure. It will just take a
22 minute. Thank you. First and foremost, I want to
23 thank you so much as a board for giving this
24 forum. And giving your time to go through this
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
823
1 process. Thank you for committing to the economic
2 development for this project for our communities.
3 I also served on the zoning board in El Paso for
4 several years before the council, so I understand
5 in a small way your commitment.
6 During these hearings you will hear
7 testimony for and against this project. You
8 already have. Some of what you will be hearing
9 and have heard are based upon fact and some will
10 be based upon emotion. It's this latter part that
11 will make your decision a bit more challenging. I
12 hope you're able to spend more time to focus on
13 fact during this process.
14 For background, I was raised on a farm
15 in Woodford County. I currently live in El Paso.
16 My wife and I raised our two children. In
17 addition, I farm with my family in Greene, Minonk
18 and Panola Townships. Don't infer from that we're
19 big farmers; we're not. We just happen to live on
20 the corner of four townships.
21 Below are some thoughts I just wanted to
22 share with you for these deliberations. As my
23 time on the zoning board I always had to come back
24 after hearings like this and think about how I
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
824
1 want to address my role.
2 Please afford the landowners and
3 constituents of this project the same
4 considerations of the wind projects in this county
5 that have preceded this one. Continue to defend
6 the rights of private property owners. Recognize
7 the desperate need for economic development for
8 our communities in these uncertain times. Thank
9 you so much for your time and consideration.
10 KIM HOLMES: You are welcome. Do you
11 have any questions? Anybody? Any other board
12 members have questions? Any interested parties?
13 All right. Thank you very much, Mr. Kapraun.
14 (Witness excused. )
15 KIM HOLMES: We don't have any more
16 interested parties.
17 MR. GIBSON: Madam chair woman, at this
18 point you guys would be at the point of the
19 hearing where they would be allowed to offer any
20 rebuttal evidence. And I believe Mr. Green would
21 like to speak on that.
22 MR. KEYT: Yes. So, Mr. Green probably
23 has two minutes.
24 KIM HOLMES: That's fine. Mr. Green you
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
825
1 can come up and speak.
2 MR. GIBSON: I believe Mr. Green has he
3 believes five minutes, and then I believe counsel
4 wanted five to ten minutes for their testimony as
5 well, Ann. I don't know how that works with you.
6 MR. KEYT: We can do our closing in
7 probably five, my portion in five minutes and
8 John's portion in five minutes. But I would defer
9 to the court reporter. Also the board, I would
10 defer to the board on what they want to do too.
11 KIM HOLMES: Yeah, go ahead. Five and
12 five.
13 CHRIS GREEN: Chris Green, C-H-R-I-S.
14 Last name G-R-E-E-N. Just a few things that were
15 presented. One is obviously the language within
16 the good neighbor agreement. The hold harmless
17 claim. That is there, it is not by any shape or
18 form some sort of admission that it's going to
19 occur. It, like contracts in any other industry,
20 was first drafted by attorneys. But also really
21 drafted by the banks and it's more just for
22 liability purposes. But, mainly to protect people
23 from making false claims. That's the protection,
24 just like there's many, many agreements that you
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
826
1 sign that there's language in there that you are
2 waiving rights, and it's to de-risk their half a
3 billion dollar investment as much as they possibly
4 can.
5 That is the purpose of it. It's not in
6 any way, shape or form because we're trying to
7 admitting that it's going to happen, nor do we
8 think that an issue is going to occur.
9 It's simply just there to de-risk, to
10 protect the project from false, from a false claim
11 is really the gist of it.
12 A couple of items that are in there; for
13 instance, the shadow. Shadow flicker has to be
14 waived. That is language that's required within
15 the ordinance to waive. So that language has to
16 be in there. Noise, quite frankly noise can't be
17 waived. The IPCB regulations are statutory. That
18 is state law. So you can't waive noise anyway.
19 So that doesn't really have any weight within the
20 agreement.
21 So, just want to make it clear that the
22 hold harmless claim is not there. It's not
23 intended to be there that we think there's going
24 to be an issue. It's to protect the investment
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
827
1 from a false claim. That's what it's there for.
2 Also, I think it was Mr. Stokes that
3 mentioned something about the agreements being
4 recorded in living, or living with the land. This
5 is a real estate agreement. It's a lease. It
6 lives with the land. It gets recorded. So, it
7 has to live with the land. So, the next buyer,
8 when they go to buy that property, they are aware
9 that that contract is binding upon that property.
10 So, that's the reason for having the
11 agreement recorded. Or excuse me, having the
12 agreement live with the land and then we record
13 it. So that the future buyer is aware that the
14 contract is binding upon that property. But keep
15 in mind, it is the current landowner whose choice
16 it is to sign the agreement or not.
17 Also, the ordinance, so the waiver of
18 the shadow flicker also requires us to, the
19 agreement has to be, has to live with the land.
20 So that is a requirement of the ordinance, is that
21 the shadow flicker waiver live with the land. So,
22 that's just another reason why that language is in
23 there.
24 I think Mr. Lutjens presented what
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
828
1 appears to be a typo, and that would be in the
2 original, either noise or shadow flicker report
3 with the G-140. Rest assured that, or excuse me,
4 with the V-140; rest assured that a V-150 turbine
5 was what was studied.
6 And actually, the final reports that you
7 have that we presented tonight was for the GE unit
8 and the Vestas unit. That's the only two units
9 that are in the application. The noise and shadow
10 flicker reports before you are just for those two
11 turbines. There was no noise reduction taken.
12 The reason we removed the Nordex machine was
13 because it is a noisier machine, and it was
14 probably going to require noise reduction modes.
15 So we stuck with the GE and the Vestas units
16 because they are quieter and they are even quieter
17 when we put on the LNTE on the GE. That's load
18 noise trailing edge. And then the serrated blades
19 on the Vestas. They are even substantially
20 quieter.
21 But using those two turbines, there's
22 absolutely no reason for noise reduction. They
23 can operate full speed and will be in compliance
24 with Illinois Pollution Control Board standards.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
829
1 And once again, this goes back to the operational
2 agreement that we've provided the county which
3 there is a noise complaint, if there is a shadow
4 flicker complaint, blade failure issue, ice throw
5 issue, we'll respond to those within 24 hours.
6 Blade failure and ice throw, we will curtail the
7 project until an analysis is performed. So we're
8 not going to -- a blade is not going to fall off
9 and us just continue to operate. We are going to
10 stop, cease operations until we understand what
11 happened.
12 And I would like to speak specifically
13 on these few incidents as well. There was a
14 mention of 46 turbines failing in Iowa. That is a
15 46 wind turbines in that project; it was a single
16 incident. A single blade incident. It wasn't all
17 46 turbines that failed. It was a single blade
18 incident that occurred.
19 Same goes with the Bright Stalk. Those
20 are Vestas turbines. The issue has actually been
21 resolved. It was a failure in the lightning
22 grounding system. That issue has been resolved.
23 It was a lightning issue. So when you have these
24 issues, now I will say these are recent issues and
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
830
1 pretty -- I would say to have this many occur so
2 recently is very rare. But, all of these issues
3 that have been discussed, the only blade failure
4 issues that have been discussed are linked to one
5 single cause, and it was due to the lightning
6 protection system that was installed in those
7 particular turbines, those blades. That issue has
8 now been resolved by Vestas. And it's not going
9 to happen again on those machines because they're
10 adjusting the grounding systems in those blades.
11 So, I just want to reiterate that once
12 again, back to the Internet stories of reading
13 Internet stories. And the fear mongering that
14 goes on. This is a very visible industry and
15 you're going to find out about issues, real
16 issues.
17 There's been a handful of issues thrown
18 out in these hearings. It's not any way, shape or
19 form indicative of the industry as a whole, or the
20 safety of the industry as a whole. When a blade
21 fails, it gets corrected. Simple as that. And
22 the setbacks that are in place will protect any
23 sort of potential property damage to a
24 nonparticipant, or even worse a health issue as
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
831
1 well.
2 Just one other item too, I think Mr.
3 Jolly, maybe even the broader context of all of
4 the hearings as this is not bringing some -- we're
5 not in grain territory here where there's not
6 already a wind project. The reason why we
7 developed this project, why we are here, is
8 because we're next to an adjacent wind project.
9 So that's kind of why we selected the region 'cuz
10 we wanted to come to an area where an area
11 community is already somewhat familiar with wind
12 turbines. There's only been one person of
13 opposition throughout these hearings that actually
14 lived anywhere near that Minonk project that came
15 to oppose the project. I think now is basically
16 stating that where the current turbines are on our
17 project is really not even a concern for her.
18 But, you have 200 machines, the majority of which
19 are already in Woodford County, there hasn't been
20 a single person come here to oppose this project
21 out of this county that lives within the Minonk
22 project. So we're not in an area where this is
23 foreign. This is an area with you have an
24 operating wind project and you have a precedence
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
832
1 here locally.
2 I think that's all's I've got. Trying
3 to get through. I could have more prepared in
4 response, but I'm trying to get through tonight.
5 So thank you.
6 KIM HOLMES: Does the board have any
7 questions of Mr. Green? Go ahead, Jerry.
8 JERRY LAY: Sorry to keep you. Quick
9 question here on the hold harmless I guess. There
10 was a back and forth between one of the, or maybe
11 a couple of the interested parties and the
12 attorneys here as far as infrasound. And we've
13 been about inundated with all kinds of testimony
14 here, and I've got a good memory, it's just very
15 short sometimes. But, what is infrasound? Can
16 you give me any insight on that? I know it's not
17 your expertise.
18 CHRIS GREEN: It's definitely not my
19 expertise. The insight I can give you is it is a
20 low frequency sound, that I guess can't be
21 detected from the human ear. But, it has been
22 studied extensively, also including in the
23 testimony that Dr. Ellenbogen provided. They
24 studied effects of infrasound, as well as sound
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
833
1 that you can hear, and there is no scientific
2 evidence that there is any link between heard
3 sound or infrasound. There's no link for negative
4 health effects with infrasound.
5 JERRY LAY: Okay. But, and I understand
6 too why there is the hold harmless there for false
7 claims. That makes all the sense in the world to
8 me. But, still, the people that signed this
9 contract are waiving their rights to anything
10 that's listed on there, is that correct? As far
11 as problems like with an example, infrasound,
12 stray voltage, vibration, blinking lights, etc.
13 CHRIS GREEN: Technically, as the
14 contract reads, I think legally probably not, to
15 be honest. If there's a legitimate health
16 concern; for instance, noise. It says in there
17 that you're going to waive noise. You can't
18 really waive noise. Noise is a statutory rule.
19 And you can't override a state law. So, we have
20 to abide by the Illinois Pollution Control Board
21 standards. And if we're exceeding that, they can
22 make a complaint and there's nothing we can do
23 about it. I'm not an attorney. I have to think
24 if the project truly was causing a health concern
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
834
1 to someone, pretty confident that they still could
2 do something about it if it was legitimate. That
3 language within there is, it's just there to
4 protect from false claims.
5 JERRY LAY: I have no further questions.
6 KIM HOLMES: Anybody else on the board
7 have a question? No? Interested parties?
8 Anybody have a question? Seeing none; oh, Mr.
9 Lutjens has a question.
10 CHRIS GREEN: I did have one other quick
11 thing to share. I will pull it up real quick as
12 we're -- I know this notion has been struck, so I
13 agree it probably shouldn't be used for evidence.
14 But, for what it's worth I can submit this to you.
15 This is all counties with wind turbines in the
16 State of Illinois and the setbacks.
17 What you will notice is Woodford County
18 out of these would be the second highest setback
19 for residences. Livingston has the highest. You
20 will see quite a few counties that have 1,000
21 feet, 1.1 times the tip height from a residence.
22 1,500 feet. Livingston county has a high setback.
23 The reason for that is because they ran
24 into an anti-wind movement in that county. It's
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
835
1 not based upon science or anything else. It's a
2 way to stop wind development in that county. But
3 I will submit this to you so you can see where
4 Woodford County ranks as compared to other
5 counties that have wind development. That's it.
6 I will have to e-mail it.
7 JERRY LAY: Jerry Lay, ZBA. It couldn't
8 be heard, but what I asked Mr. Green if that it
9 was in our literature, and he said he would
10 provide it, is that correct?
11 CHRIS GREEN: Yes, sir, I will provide
12 it.
13 JERRY LAY: Just so everybody heard what
14 we said.
15 KIM HOLMES: All right. Mr. Lutjens,
16 make sure that when you come up to the microphone,
17 speak into the microphone, say your name, and
18 spell it please for the recorder.
19 MR. LUTJENS: Gary Lutjens,
20 L-U-T-J-E-N-S. Earlier, a few minutes ago you
21 were discussing the cause of the broken turbines
22 in only one farm or two farms over that Tim talked
23 about tonight. Could you repeat what you had said
24 about the cause?
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
836
1 CHRIS GREEN: So it's my understanding
2 that the cause of the Bright Stalk wind project
3 blade failure, as well as that Iowa project, and
4 I'm drawing a blank on the name, those blades
5 failed due to a failure in the lightning
6 protection system.
7 MR. LUTJENS: Is that the final
8 determination? Has there been a decision reached
9 on that?
10 CHRIS GREEN: That's what I was told by
11 the manufacturer.
12 MR. LUTJENS: Thank you.
13 KIM HOLMES: Okay. If we don't have any
14 other questions for this witness, we will let Mr.
15 Green step down.
16 (Witness excused.)
17 LISA JORDING: This is Lisa Jording.
18 Erik is going to hand out the Tri-County report
19 real quick so you guys have it. If you do have
20 questions, we do have Tri-County on zoom. But Mr.
21 Keyt is going to do the close.
22 KIM HOLMES: Mr. Keyt.
23 MR. KEYT: I'm ready to do the close if
24 the board desires. I am probably less than five
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
837
1 minutes. I'm only going to address the special
2 uses. John is going to address the variances.
3 We've got it all whittled down so that we can be
4 very concise.
5 KIM HOLMES: We told Ann it would be
6 five minutes. Five and five.
7 MR. KEYT: Yes, five and five. I will
8 defer whatever extra time is left from me to John.
9 The other thing is, I would suggest I think we
10 have got a few maps that we've submitted, I would
11 suggest we mark those as exhibits 41 and 42 -- no
12 excuse me. 40, 41 and 42. And then to the extent
13 this has been submitted into evidence, I think
14 that would be 43, just for the record. We would
15 move to put that into evidence as well.
16 KIM HOLMES: Right.
17 We'll accept those into the evidence:
18 MR. KEYT: I'll proceed. Andy Keyt from
19 Heyl Royster. I am only going to address the
20 special uses. I promise you I will be short.
21 I have submitted into the record our
22 proposed findings of fact on the special use,
23 which is proposed as Exhibit No. 32. That's our
24 proposed findings of fact.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
838
1 I will tell you it's 15 wonderful single
2 spaced pages. So, I understand you can use that
3 for your nighttime reading. I will defer to that
4 for all of the information I normally would say in
5 this context, is running through all of that. So
6 I will defer to that.
7 A couple things I want to touch upon is,
8 a lot of the information that's been presented by
9 the objectors is information that's not relevant
10 to the issues that's before the board tonight. Or
11 during any of the hearings. Issues regarding
12 setbacks or whether or not sound is annoying to
13 them or whether or not wind farms are good or bad,
14 this is not a referendum about wind farms.
15 Woodford County allows wind farms. Your
16 comprehensive land use plan allows for wind farms.
17 You have a code that sets it out.
18 We have met that code. We have far
19 exceeded that code in many aspects. And I think
20 all of the factors that I've proposed to you, I
21 think are legitimate and I've gone through the
22 record and put in all of the findings of fact that
23 we would propose.
24 Accordingly, I think we would obviously
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
839
1 request that you approve the project. All --
2 right now we have 80 turbines plus the operations
3 maintenance and lay down yard that we've
4 addressed.
5 With that, I'm going to turn it over to
6 John, and he is going to address the variances,
7 all of the information that I would normally give
8 to you in terms of this oral testimony, or this
9 oral closing is contained within the proposed
10 findings that I submitted to you.
11 MR. HEIL: Wow, that's the first time
12 I've ever heard a lawyer say he's going to be very
13 quick, who is actually very quick. So, kudos to
14 Andy.
15 I'm John Heil, Andy's partner. And I'm
16 going to talk exclusively about the variance
17 requests that are pending.
18 As you know, Panther Grove applied for
19 16 individual variances because of the setback
20 requirement we have discussed of the Woodford
21 County tall structures ordinance, which is Section
22 31 of the county zoning ordinance.
23 I have exactly one slide and this is it.
24 So, what we're talking about when we're talking
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
840
1 about the variances, we're talking about 16
2 turbines; numbers 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19,
3 20, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 and 29. All are
4 depicted on the map. And I should point out to
5 you, you've seen this map by now. And there was
6 previously on there a 23, but it's now gone. So
7 there they are.
8 As we look at the map, I'd like to point
9 a couple of things out. Sort of this orange area
10 on the top of the bottom of the red thing, first
11 of all the red thing importantly, that's the
12 Unzicker grass airstrip. The Unzicker RLA. The
13 runway is not the orange part. The orange part is
14 the standard Illinois Department of Transportation
15 ruling or approach areas that we've been talking
16 about.
17 The blue is part of the Woodford County
18 setback as is this sort of great big bubble here
19 in purple. It's because of this in the tall
20 structures ordinance that we're asking for the
21 variance that we're asking for.
22 The ordinance has a couple of
23 requirements. Chris actually sort of talked about
24 them. Any time someone asks for a variance from
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
841
1 the tallest structures ordinance it must be
2 accompanied by a determination from the FAA as to
3 the effect of the proposal on the operation of air
4 navigation facilities, and the safe, efficient use
5 of and navigable air space.
6 And you can't have an application for a
7 variance before all of you unless a copy of it had
8 been furnished to IDOT's aeronautics division for
9 advice as to any effects of the variance.
10 In this case, and as Chris explained a
11 little while ago tonight, we have both. As you
12 also recall, Dan Underwood testified at length.
13 He testified a lot, for example, about FAA. The
14 FAA, as to each of the 16 turbines for which we
15 have requested variances, issued determinations of
16 no hazard to air navigation. These DNHs. He also
17 went in great detail about how this is no little
18 thing. The FAA took this seriously. It takes a
19 long time to get them.
20 He went through a seven step process.
21 The FAA goes through in what's known largely as an
22 aeronautical study looking for possible adverse
23 effects on the national air space involving not
24 just the FAA, but multiple federal agencies; he
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
842
1 talked about air traffic control, Department of
2 Defense, Department of Homeland Security and
3 others.
4 As he explained, the FAA's prime
5 objective is to insure the safety of air
6 navigation, and efficient utilization of navigable
7 air space by aircraft. And as to every one of
8 these turbines there is that DNH. There is that
9 finding by the FAA.
10 So, that was in effect a safety finding
11 by the FAA as to the air space around those
12 proposed turbines.
13 Next as to the Illinois Department of
14 Transportation, the aeronautics division. Each of
15 those proposed turbines, they were provided with,
16 with notice on September 28th, 2020. Troy Reiser,
17 R-E-I-S-E-R, the bureau chief of aviation safety
18 for IDOT confirmed that the 16 turbines complied
19 with IDOT's standards. So we have FAA and we have
20 IDOT.
21 So, this landing strip you're looking
22 at, and the area around it, is all pertaining to
23 the Unzicker RLA. So let's talk briefly about
24 Keith Unzicker. This isn't a situation, and it's
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
843
1 important to remember, this is not a situation in
2 which a landowner is objecting to these particular
3 wind towers for which the waiver is sought. Quite
4 the opposite of normal, Mr. Unzicker wants them.
5 He has no objection to the project. He wants to
6 help his neighbors. And he sees no difficulties
7 associated with these.
8 Mr. Unzicker came here, I believe twice
9 actually, and testified as to his support of this
10 project and in particular as to his thoughts,
11 observations and plans with respect to these 16
12 turbines.
13 He actually assisted in the planning of
14 the siting of these turbines you see on this chart
15 before you. And he helped out siting these based
16 on his needs for his air operations.
17 Now, the Unzicker RLA, the restricted
18 landing area, is a private visual flight rules,
19 that's VFR, airstrip. That means Mr. Unzicker
20 controls who can fly in and out of it, and it
21 always only happens during what are known as VFR
22 conditions. That means daytime and good
23 visibility. He doesn't use it frequently. And
24 wonderfully really, although this airstrip lies on
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
844
1 the charts that all pilots are aware of, he's
2 willing to call up the Government and have it
3 taken off if that will somehow be of aid to the
4 project, will somehow assure you or the board that
5 other pilots won't be looking at it on their
6 charts and wanting to land there. In fact, all of
7 the turbines but for numbers 25 and 26, he
8 considers irrelevant to his flight operations.
9 That being said, he testified that he
10 doesn't really view the proposed locations of
11 turbine 25 and 26 as representing a problem for
12 takeoffs and landings. It's something he can plan
13 for and he has. His quote was, quote, "the
14 proposed turbine locations allow sufficient space
15 to maneuver the light aircraft I operate with an
16 ample margin of safety."
17 I think it's important to view the
18 proposed turbines in context. Now, if we look
19 over where 26 is, right here, where I'm showing,
20 where I have the pointer, and for those who are
21 visiting via zoom, that's the one near the orange
22 section to the right, there already exists and has
23 for many years been a cell phone tower that
24 preexisted the tall structures ordinance there all
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
845
1 along.
2 So he's been maneuvering around that air
3 space for a great number of years, and isn't going
4 to be in that air space anyway.
5 Number 25, on the other side, Chris
6 already mentioned if there's one that Mr. Unzicker
7 has to think more about, had to like sort of couch
8 his comments about, it would be that one, but he's
9 planned for it and he indicated he's comfortable
10 with that being at that location.
11 Let's face it. Mr. Unzicker is a pro.
12 Literally. He was licensed to fly in 1987. And
13 has been a professional pilot since 1989. That's
14 over 30 years. He's logged over 12,000 hours of
15 flight times. He has, in the days and months
16 leading up to this presentation, on his own been
17 planning for the eventuality, if it happens of
18 course, of there being wind towers in the
19 locations indicated. He's planned the approach.
20 He's planned departures. He's planned for
21 emergencies. And he's done this not just on
22 paper, but he's practiced in his airplane. So
23 this is an individual who's well prepared for
24 these turbines to be installed exactly where they
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
846
1 are indicated. That's very impressive.
2 According to the tall structure
3 ordinance variance provision, variances shall be
4 allowed where you find that a literal application
5 or enforcement of the regulations will result in
6 unnecessary hardship, and relief granted will not
7 be contrary to the public interests, will not
8 create hazard to air navigation, will do
9 substantial justice, and will be in accordance
10 with the spirit of this ordinance.
11 Here, literal application of the tall
12 structures ordinance, which I guess would mean
13 refusal to grant these variances, will result in
14 the project becoming significantly more difficult,
15 if not potentially impossible to construct. As
16 Chris explained, I won't go to in detail, these
17 turbines lay in the middle of the project. They
18 lie in some of the best area for wind turbines to
19 be. Their absence would be a -- it would do great
20 damage to this proposed project.
21 A literal application of the TSO would
22 also deprive landowners. Keith Unzicker's
23 neighbors with the long-term economic benefits
24 associated with the location of wind turbines on
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
847
1 their properties.
2 This goes back to all of the testimony
3 you've heard from various landowners who come here
4 before you, and told you how they are counting on
5 the supplemental income this project could provide
6 to them personally.
7 There's something else to consider. The
8 variances for these 16 turbines will, as a
9 practical matter, allow the project to maintain a
10 smaller footprint than if they were denied.
11 Because if those 16 turbines can't be here, an
12 alternative plan will have to be put together to
13 place them somewhere else. And because this area
14 is right in the middle of the project, logically
15 where they would probably go to be to actually
16 expand the physical footprint of the project
17 itself. We'd like to avoid that.
18 What I keep coming down to personally
19 about the variances is this: Have you, as the ZBA
20 throughout all these evenings we've been together,
21 seen any evidence that would justify second
22 guessing Keith Unzicker? In the absence of actual
23 evidence, of which I don't think there is any, I
24 respectfully suggest the answer must be no.
Area Wide Reporting and Video Conferencing 1-800-747-6789 PUBLIC HEARING
848
1 And I would ask you to grant these
2 variances as requested, as came up before and I
3 won't dwell on the point. If you find you have a
4 problem with a turbine, or two, whatever, you do
5 have the capability to say, well, we won't grant
6 that variance. I would caution you, however,
7 about going too far with that, as this is in the
8 meat of the project.
9 Thank you very much for your time. We
10 all appreciate it very, very much.
11 KIM HOLMES: Thank you, Mr. Heil. Well,
12 I guess that was our closing arguments. And I
13 think I would entertain a motion. The evidence is
14 now closed. There will be no more submitting
15 evidence and there's no more questions any
16 further. Okay. So we will be coming back here
17 for -- we will be coming back on December 10th at
18 four o'clock. And the ZBA will be here to render
19 our findings. Compile findings of fact and vote
20 on the petition as presented. We're not going to
21 adjourn. We are just going to continue.
22 TERESA GAUGER: I would like to make a
23 motion that we continue this meeting on Thursday,
24 December 10th at four PM at the Liberty Bible
