A wind energy company could get the go ahead to proceed with four wind projects at Monday's Chatham-Kent planning meeting.

Administration is recommending zoning bylaw amendments be approved for the projects owned by Gengrowth.

They include the Bisnett Line wind turbine project in Harwich, the Marsh Line project in Dover, the Swanton Line project in Tilbury and the Front Line project in Howard, which will each have five commercial wind turbines.

According to report, the economic benefits of these projects include $96 million in developer investment, $1.8 million in local construction materials, $200,000 in landowner compensation at $10,000 per turbine, and $96,000 in additional property taxes to the municipality.

Council will also decide whether to grant some exemptions under the Planning Act to allow an apartment complex at 200 Emma St. in Chatham to be converted into condominiums.

Some issues council will need to consider is the fact the property only has 15 parking spots, where it should have 20. It also doesn't comply with side yard and rear yard set backs.

The draft plan of subdivision to have condominiums built at the Links of Kent golf course is also up for consideration.

Although an appeal of an official plan amendment is under appeal awaiting an Ontario Municipal Board hearing, the applicant wants to proceed with the draft approval of subdivision plan and zoning bylaw amendment, so if they are appealed, they can be dealt with at the same hearing, according an administrative report.
