(A) Each CWECS shall be equipped with both manual and automatic controls to limit the rotational speed of the rotor blade so it does not exceed the design limits of the rotor.
(B) The Planning Commission shall determine the height, color, and type of fencing for the CWECS installation. CWECS shall include no sign or advertising of any kind except for one sign not to exceed two square feet posted at the base of the tower, electrical equipment, and entrances. The sign shall contain the following information:
(1) Warning high voltage;
(2) Manufacturer’s name;
(3) Operator’s name;
(4) Emergency phone number; and
(5) Emergency shutdown procedures.
(C) Each CWECS shall be properly grounded to safely sustain natural lightning strikes in conformance with the National Electric Code.
(D) Any CWECS facility shall be equipped with anti-climbing devices. Tower climbing apparatus shall not be located within 15 feet of the ground. Where the tower is capable of being climbed, a locked, protective fence at least six feet high shall enclose the tower.
(E) The minimum distance between the ground and any part of the rotor blade system shall be 30 feet.
(F) The CWECS operator shall maintain a current insurance policy which will cover installation, operation, and any possible damage or injury that might result from the failure of a tower or towers or any other part or parts of the generation and transmission facility. The amount of said policy shall be established as a condition of approval. The CWECS shall be warranted against any system failures reasonably expected in severe weather operation conditions
