Allegany County Code 360-92 (Code Home Rule 2-09) was passed on June 4, 2009 to provide protection against inconsiderate placement of industrial wind turbines with respect to established homes in Allegany County, MD.

Dan’s Mountain Wind Force, LLC, has planned a wind turbine farm that does not comply with the existing Allegany County Code 360-92 (Code Home Rule 2-09) and are seeking variances and special exceptions to this code.

If the Board of Zoning Appeals grants their request, the erection of 17 wind turbines along Dan’s Mountain Ridge in Allegany County will take place within months.

Dear Members of the Allegany County Board of Zoning Appeals,

We, the undersigned, oppose granting these variances and special exceptions.

Industrial scale wind energy development in the proposed location will:

• detrimentally impact 911 Emergency Communications
• cause health issues
• decrease property values
• destroy protected wildlife habitats
• ruin the scenic beauty, tourism, and hunting in Allegany County

(Ref Cases 942 & 943, filed with Board of Zoning Appeals on July 2, 2015)
