The same is true of wind energy, the city of <br /> Orono is denying us our right to take advantage of the wind energy available to our property for no <br /> legitimate reason. <br /> We have presented an application for a building permit which takes into account many of the issues <br /> related to urban applications of wind generators without any direction from the city of Orono. The <br /> system we have presented has very low noise and vibration levels during operation, is built to <br /> withstand 131 mph destructive wind speed, and is aesthetically plea.sing. The location chosen is not in <br /> the 0-751ake shore setback, does not violate any height ordinance (the top will be near the edge of our <br /> roof line),and takes advantage of the best wind resource available to our property. <br />
