The applicant shall provide the following materials to the town engineer as part of a building permit application, for micro wind systems and small wind energy conversion systems:
A. A completed application provided by the town clerk.
B. Proof of ownership for the property where the proposed tower will be constructed, and all applicable fees, as established by the town council.
C. A scaled eight and one-half inch by eleven inch (81/2" x 11") or larger plot plan of the proposed small wind energy conversion system, to include property lines, setbacks, physical dimensions of the property, and locations of structures and the tower, base, footings, generator, blades, guywires, and all associated equipment.
D. Signatures of the property owners within five hundred feet (500') of the micro wind systems or small wind energy conversion system stating there are no objections to the installation of the system.
E. An engineering analysis of the micro wind system and/or tower showing compliance with all applicable current building codes, and certified by a licensed professional engineer.
F. Certification that the design is in compliance with the current national electric code and local electrical code. Building permit applications for micro wind systems and small wind energy conversion systems shall be accompanied by a line drawing of the electrical components in sufficient detail to allow for a determination that the manner of the installation conforms to the national electrical code and local electrical codes.
G. Evidence satisfactory to the town engineer and zoning and planning commission, that the proposed system meets the following standards:
1. That the micro wind system or small wind energy conversion system is UL listed, and/or meets the Institute Of Electrical And Electronic Engineers (IEEE) standards, or other nationally recognized testing lab (NRTL);
2. Information demonstrating that the wind turbine is approved under an emerging technology program, such as International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) or any other small wind certification program recognized by the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) or the U.S. department of energy. Noncertified wind turbines must submit a description of the safety features of the turbine prepared by a professional mechanical engineer. (Ord. 2012-1, 4-17-2012)
