WHEREAS, on March 21, 1977 this Council did deny a Conditional Use Permit to
exceed height limitations in the R-1 zoning district for Mr. Rolf Erickson

for the purposes of testing and evaluating a wind generator desigend and
constructed by Mr. Cob Burandt, and
WHEREAS, Mr. Cob Burandt is now requesting permission to erect a wind
generator of similar design and size to be located at his own residence,
14510 - 13th Avenue North, and
HHEREAS, the purpose of said wind generator is to demonstrate the feasibility
and/or potential for generating electricity for household purposes, which
demonstration project is being supported in part by the Minnesota Energy
Agency, and
WHEREAS, the concerns previously expressed by this Council with respect to
a 60 foot high wind generator in a residential location are substantially
mitigated by the fact that the wind generator will be located on Mr. Burandt's
property and subject to his direct personal supervision;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA that:
1. The City does hereby grant to Mr. Cob Burandt a Conditional Use Permit
to exceed the height limitations in an R-1 zoning district for a 60 foot
high wind generator to be located on his property at 14510 -13th Avenue N.
2. Such Conditional Use Permit is granted subject to the following conditions:
a. In the event it is demonstrated that said wind generator does in fact
interfere with the use of electrical appliances, radio or television
signals or should the wind generator cease to be operative, become
unsafe or electric generation unfeasible, then in such event petitioner
does agree to remove said structure from his premises, and in the event
that he is unwilling to do so that the City of Plymouth may enter upon
the premises of petitioner and remove said wind generator.
