It was the consensus of the Board to direct Mr. Rowley to make an inspection of <br /> 'the intersection of Silver Leaf and Fox Hill and file a-report. <br /> Discussion <br /> Building Mounted wind Power Generation Facilities <br /> The Chairman called this-natter and provided some background information. Iir. <br /> Storrs, Mashpee Commons, is proposing construction of two building mounted wind <br /> turbines, which are prohibited under the new wind Turbine Bylaw. This discussion will <br /> be used upon the particular model turbine Mr. Storrs has purchased for mounting-on his <br /> buildings. <br /> The question being whether or not the Planning Board is-inclined to remove the <br /> prohibitive statement from the bylaw and to provide Mr. Storrs with a letter of support for <br /> the proposed project before he appears before the Zoning Board of Appeals for a variance <br /> from the Special Pemidt. <br /> The Chairman then recognized Brian Bragington-Smith, Community wind Power <br /> LLC, who referred to this discussion as innovative technology and change. He stated that <br /> progress will occur and changes will result. He intends to speak in favor of structure <br /> mounted wind as a valuable component of the renewable energy spectra nm for future <br /> energy. <br /> Community wind Power LLC is in partnership with Cascade Swift, the U.S. <br /> manufacturer and distribution company for the Swift structure mounted wind turbine <br /> which was developed in the U.K. <br /> Presentation <br /> Decent installation at hristy's Market in west Yarmouth, MA., to which there <br /> has been nothing but positive reaction. A mirror image of this installation is planned for <br /> the hri ty's Market at fyanough Road in Barnstable. <br /> Installation, consists of three structure mounted wind turbines on a gas island <br /> canopy at hrist 's Market in west Yarmouth. Mention was made of the circular ring <br /> around the outside of the blade tips creates an aerodynamic effect. Studies conducted in <br /> the U.K. proved that the turbine was quieter than the background noises. The turbine is a <br /> totally enclosed water-fight.structure and are very effective at producing power from the <br /> wind. Power is generated at a very low wind.speed, 5 mph, and continues to operate in <br /> wind speeds up to 60 mph. The output is substantial and automatically turns out of the <br /> wind. <br /> Historical Experience—Only technology intended to be mounted on a structure <br /> should be and the structure itself should be suitable for the application of technology. <br />
