BP's Chandler states that BP's Cape Vincent Wind project violates local zoning".

At the Special meeting at Recreation Park, Tuesday evening Dave Henderson  Lyme Town Councilman addressed Richard Chandler, BP project developer.

 The following is an excerpt not the full exchange

 Dave Henderson : I guess I’m asking , have you taken  into consideration  the latest information,  world  standards on siting turbines?

 Chandler: Again, I don’t know how you are defining world standards. I've indicated what it is that we have looked at .  

Dave Henderson: Have you looked at the world health organization’s recommendations?

Chandler: if you have additional standards that you'd like for us to factor in that are outside of the town zoning law, we will be happy to take a look at them. What I've described is what we've factored in.

Dave Henderson:   you are not addressing the town zoning law at all, like I said you are going to ignore the town zoning law.

 Chandler: We have read the town zoning law.

 Dave Henderson: But you're not going to abide by it.

Chandler: we have read it we read it, we have factored it in, and we are proposing for discussion what we have behind you.

Dave Henderson:  What’s behind me does not represent the town zoning law, is that correct?

Chandler: I believe it's correct to say that if we were to take this layout and overlay it the town zoning law it would be in violation of that.

Dave Henderson: Thank you.
