County Garden on West Main Street in Hyannisisinvestigatinginstallation of a wind generator,asisthe Cape Cod Syna- gogue, ac- cording to the discussion at this week's planning board meeting. Subcommittee chairman Steve Shu- man said the approach isunique because it offers amoveable setback based on the height of a proposed tower.The setback will be suggested at 2.5 times the height ofthe tower.For example,a 30-foot tower would need a 75-foot setback from all property lines,and a 100-foot tower would require 250 feet. Shuman and Broadrick explained that this approach requires larger lots for wind generators , and would keep any rotating blade over the owner 's property. Other factors include sign-offs regarding flight paths and airspace. The proposal could be presented to the town council in time for a first reading at the Oct. 19 meeting.
