6/8/13 - Green Oak Township has a new set of zoning regulations for wind power generators. The Township Board approved the new zoning amendments Wednesday night to make the issue clearer and more easily enforced. They regulate the size, placement, and type of wind power generators that can be used in commercial and residential settings. Clerk Mike Sedlak says with the proper research and location, full-size commercial windmills can be installed in Green Oak. Residential units are more restrained, consisting mainly of upright units as seen at the Genoa Township Hall. Sedlak says no applications for wind power generator placements have been received, but the township wanted to pass the zoning amendments in anticipation of future requests. (TD)
