Mathes' Judicial decisions,reported and unreported,which were handed down by the New York courts since 2006 concerning wind power local laws and permit decisions are summarized below. A fuller summary of the cases is available in the New York Zoning Law and Practice Report,Vol. 8,No. 4 (2008), "New York Wind Power Case Law Update"©Thomson West. For a copy of any of the cases,please email me at tmathes(a—)woh.com. Hall v. Ziaenfus,et. al.,Index No. 97580 (Ontario Co.2006): The petitioner challenged the adoption of a local law(Local Law No. 1 of 2006)regulating wind projects by the Town Board of the Town of Cohocton, Steuben County. The petitioner alleged that the Town Board had failed to comply with the State Environmental Quality Review Act("SEQRA"),because a SEQRA determination was never rendered, and since the adoption of Local Law No. I was a Type I action, the petitioner argued further that a Draft Environmental Impact Statement("DEIS") should have been prepared. The Town Board moved to dismiss, arguing that the petitioner lacked standing. The Ontario County Supreme Court agreed with the Town Board, stating that"[u]nless and until a special use permit for construction and operation of a windmill is granted, there exists no potential for environmental injury to his property.... [S]ince any such procedural errors or incidents/threats of damage are speculative and hypothetical,the Petition is premature_" Trude v.Town Bd.of Town of Cohocton, 17 Mise.3d 1104(A) (Steuben Co.2007): The Cohocton Town Board adopted another local law regulating wind projects,Local Law No. 2 of 2006. Local Law No. 2 effectively recodified major portions of Local Law No. 1,with amendments pertaining to noise and enforcement. The petitioners alleged that the Town Board failed to take the requisite"hard look"under SEQRA,and improperly segmented the review of Local Law No. 2 from the Town Planning Board's contemporaneous review of a large scale wind project. The petitioners also alleged that Local Law No. 2 was inconsistent with the Town's Comprehensive Plan,a violation of Town Law§263. The Court dismissed the petition on the merits. Hosmer v.Town of Howard,Index No. 97333 (Steuben Co. 2008): The Town of Howard Town Board adopted a local law regulating wind projects. The petitioners claimed, among other things,that members of the Town Board had violated General Municipal Law§ 803 since they were under lease with a wind project developer at the time the local law was adopted. The petitioners pointed to the wind power developer's application, which acknowledged that the proposed project included certain of the Town Board members' lands. The Court held that the wind power developer's application was not a"contract"within the meaning of the statute and,therefore,that there was not a prohibited interest. Furthermore,the Town Board members under contract had disclosed the same in accordance with the requirements of the General Municipal Law. The petitioners had also claimed that the Town Board failed to satisfy SEQRA's substantive and procedural requirements in issuing a negative declaration. The Court held that the petitioners had not established standing to raise their SEQRA claims. West Beekmantown Neighborhood Assoc.v. ZBA of Beekmantown,Index No.2007-0299 (Clinton Co.2007): The petitioners challenged the January 2007 approval of a conditional use permit by the Town Zoning Board which allowed the construction of a wind project consisting of up to thirteen L5 megawatt wind turbines. The project was reviewed as an"essential service,"which was an allowed use by conditional use permit in the relevant zoning district,and a SEQRA negative declaration was issued by the Zoning Board in support of its decision approving the project. The petitioners alleged,among other things,that the Town Zoning Officer's determination that the project was an"essential service" was arbitrary and capricious, as was the Zoning Board's approval of the conditional use permit since the project was improperly reviewed as an"essential service." Although the respondents'raised an affirmative defense since the petitioners did not appeal the determination to the Zoning Board,the Court decided the issue on the merits since the Zoning Board's contemporaneous appellate jurisdiction over the Zoning Officer's determination and the conditional use permit application may have"lulled residents into the belief that the issue would be revisited by the ZBA." Nevertheless,noting that the Zoning Board's interpretation of the Town's Zoning Law was entitled to great deference, the Court found that the Zoning Board could easily have concluded that the wind farm fell within the Town's definition of an"essential service." The Court acknowledged that a wind farm results in the production of electricity to be placed on the electric grid for general consumption. The Court also upheld the Zoning Board's issuance of a negative declaration under SEQRA,noting that the final application materials were extensive,containing studies on a wide range of environmental issues. The Court found that the Zoning Board considered'these ' Todd M.Mathes is an associate attorney at Whiteman Osterman&Hanna LLP and is counsel to a western New York municipality which permitted a 125

Brander v.Town Bd.of the Town of Warren,2007 N.Y.Slip Op.27498 (Onondaga Co. 2007): Petitioners commenced an Article 78 proceeding challenging the SEQRA findings and special use permit approvals issued by the Town Boards of the Towns of Warren and Stark,Herkimer County,to allow the construction and operation of a 68 turbine, 136 megawatt wind project. The petitioners alleged procedural and substantive SEQRA violations against both Towns. The petitioners also alleged that the Towns violated the Open Meetings Law by entering into executive sessions without stating appropriate bases. The Court agreed with the petitioners and annulled the Towns' SEQRA findings and project related approvals. The petitioners' had alleged that the Towns failed to adequately consider alternatives,noting that the Department of Environmental Conservation,in its capacity as a SEQRA involved agency,had commented during review of the project that the DEIS lacked studies to support the conclusion reached in the DEIS that"the wind resource does not allow for a project of different scale then the one proposed,or that a smaller scale project is not economically viable." Since the SEQRA lead agency concluded only that"it is unreasonable to conduct an analysis of a project with larger turbines as the project sponsor is utilizing existing turbine commitments,"the Court found that the Town of Warren failed to support its conclusions with rationally based assumptions. The petitioners also alleged that the Towns improperly deferred and delegated their SEQRA review and mitigation obligations since the State Historic Preservation Office had advised the Towns and the project developer that the project would adversely impact the Glimmer-lass and Lindsay Patent National Register Historic Districts, among other historic resources listed and eligible for listing on the National Register. The Court found that the Towns issued their SEQRA findings prematurely and improperly delegated their duties and responsibilities to SHPO by only requiring the project developer to establish a visual and mitigation planting plan in consultation with SHPO in the future. Finally,the petitioners made detailed allegations that the Open Meetings Law had been violated,enumerating meetings at which the Towns entered executive session and the basis,if any,upon which the Towns entered the session. The Town of Warren Town Board had entered executive session without stating a reason immediately prior to adopting its SEQRA findings and issuing special use permit approval. Similarly,on June 21,2007 the Town of Stark Town Board entered executive session without stating a reason,and emerged from the meeting to accept the Town of Warren's SEQRA findings and issue special use permit approval.
