Dear Al-l-,
Ilnfnrfrrnafalrr invri!vrLurrdLsry rrr this case/ trederal and State law prohibit entirelybanning anotherwise lega1 actlvity such as gas drilling within a municipality. A parallel
^.'^*^l ^ rL ^! .-^.-exampre tnat you may recall is the efforts made by some municipalities to prohibitcel-l- towers; afl- that can be done is restrict their location, ut"., but they cannotbe banned. Instead, the Village may wlsh to consider enacting faws that wouldimpose l-imitations on driff sites (setback, height, buffers, lot coverage, hours ofoperation, etc. ), or on the use of Village roads by trucks over a given size orweightf or a special tax on such activit.ies. Some comblnation of these
restrictlons woufd assist i-n making it more difficult or costly for a gas company tooperate in the Vifl-aqe.
