Memorandum 15-069
TO: MAYOR WYTHE AND HOMER CITY COUNCIL
THROUGH KATIE KOESTER, CITY MANAGER
FROM: RICK ABBOUD, CITY PLANNER
DATE: May 13, 2015
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF HOMER, ALASKA, AMENDING SUBSECTION (d) OF HOMER CITY CODE SECTION 21.58.020, INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS, TO DELETE THE ONE-ACRE MINIMUM LOT AREA FOR SMALL WIND ENERGY SYSTEMS.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this item at the May 6th meeting. There was one who testified, his support or opposition was unclear. After debate among the 5 commissioners present at the meeting, they voted 1 to 4 in support of the ordinance as presented. The resistance to the ordinance was based on concern for further considerations of the definition of the “small energy system” that would be allowed on less than one acre. A desire to learn more about the most current applications of wind energy was expressed. The subject will be explored further at future meetings.
