With so many inconsistencies in the application of Orono's zoning ordinances, it seems rather arbitrary <br /> to us that the city of Orono would just choose to say no to a renewable energy system . These <br /> renewable energy systems have been around for many years and the city of Orono has been lax in the <br /> direction it provides to it's residents regarding these issues. In fact, given the information presented <br /> above, we don't believe that we need to obtain a building permit for this project. As the Orono city <br /> zoning code is written now, renewable energy systems are not regulated, therefore uncontrolled. City <br /> zoning codes do not have the ability to unduly restrict everything they cannot think of. Green energy <br /> has been on the market for years, and windmills date back to the 1 S`century. The renewable energy <br /> issue was even mentioned by the sitting mayor 1 year ago as something that needed to be dealt with. <br /> Thus, the onus is not on us as property owners to wait for the city to deal with and change the zoning <br /> code to begin our green projects. There is no reason to now deny us our property rights. <br /> As we see it, the city of Orono has 2 choices: <br /> ➢ Cease and desist the arbitrary harassment of the Nygard property in writing <br /> ➢ Litigate the issue in court <br /> Please feel free to contact us at (952) 472-2842 or at jaynv�ard(a�vahoo.com if'y4u have any questio . <br /> � �/ � <br /> �� �������1 � l;��v <br /> al T •d Kendall M Nygard <br />
