Mark Lyons was conferenced in.

Mark Mazgaj

The Public Hearing script was emailed to the Board by Kristine Morabito. Initially, we relied on the original application in publishing public hearings and providing public hearing notices. Over the course of the environmental review and some engineering refinement, certain portions of the project description changed. The acreage has a different definition of what acres are being identified and part of the project. The original description was the leased parcels, and the later was the wind overlay zones.  The reason we are going through this is to make sure there is consistency as required by law between the public hearing notices, deviation hearing notices, and the transaction documents.

George Borrello asked Mark Lyons to define the wind overlay zone.

Mark Lyons

Briefly explained the overlay zone pertaining to his project.
