Re: LIPA Wind Turbine Project /
As you are aware, SR 25 is a New York State Scenic Byway, so designated by New York State Legislation in 2002.
As such, the vicwshed along this road must be protected given the scenic, historic and cultural importance of the
old "King's Highway."
Thc proposed project is to be located within thc viewshcd of 8R 25. Thc Commission is concerned that thc design
and, particularly the placement, of such a turbine would have a lasting negative cffcct on the Byway.
During its review, the Planning Board should ensure that the viewshed be as minimally impacted as possible.
