HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County commissioners will go over two planning issues that deal with potential wind farms when they meet on Tuesday.
Both are resolutions amending two editions of the Reno County Zoning Regulations to provide for additional guidelines related to commercial wind energy. The Planning Commission has recommended both changes be approved. The two matters are a part of the consent agenda.
Also Tuesday, the board will make it official to deny a conditional use permit for an aggregate storage depot near Nickerson. The board will pass a resolution denying the request from Mid-States Materials to build the depot after a protest petition was filed against the facility.
Area residents questioned the safety of having the facility so close to the city and especially Nickerson High School.
And the board will go into executive session for two personnel matters. Tuesday's meeting begins at 9 a.m. at the Reno County Annex.
