Gamesa asked Logan Township to expand its windplant zone north of Rt 36 and Logan Township denied Gamesa's request.
Three months ago, Gamesa told Logan Township that it was impossible to build a windplant in Logan Township's windplant zone. Now Gamesa says that it is possible to build a windplant there.
Gamesa is asking Logan Township to ignore the height provision in the Logan Township windplant ordinance. The matter has been referred to the Logan Township Planning Commission.
In any case, Tom, the proposed windplant that I was referring to, and that was clearly stated in the Ice Man's post, was the proposed Gamesa windplant on BRUSH MOUNTAIN. Three years ago, the
Logan Township Planning Commission and the Logan Township Board of Supervisors told Gamesa that BRUSH MOUNTAIN IS OFF-LIMITS TO INDUSTRIAL WINDPLANT DEVELOPMENT. Logan Township has zoning and zoned Chestnut Flats as a 30-square-mile area for windplant development. Gamesa wanted to have the area expanded but the township's already denied this three times and told Gamesa to not ask again.
Regarding
Snyder Township,
since the supervisors voted to ignore their OWN ordinance, Snyder Township residents would be justified in suing the supervisors under mandamus:
Mandamus
A writ of mandamus or simply mandamus, which means "we command" in Latin, is the name of one of the prerogative writs in the common law, and is "issued by a superior court to compel a lower court or a government officer to perform mandatory or purely ministerial duties correctly".
Mandamus is a judicial remedy which is in the form of an order from a superior court to any government, subordinate court, corporation or public authority to do or forbear from doing some specific act which that body is obliged under law to do or refrain from doing, as the case may be, and which is in the nature of public duty and in certain cases of a statutory duty. It cannot be issued to compel an authority to do something against statutory provision.
