With the Reno County Planning Department considering limited zoning for the entire county, some say it won’t happen soon enough. The planning department believes it could take as much as six-months for any zoning to be put in place.

Two residents in the Haven area are asking the Reno County Commission to put a six month moratorium in place to stop Next Era Energy from building any wind farms in the county until zoning is in place to protect residents who live in the area of the proposed wind farm.

Kristina Horsh who lives near Haven read a prepared statement over her request.

Commissioner Dan Deming noted that at the county commission meeting last Friday that the Next Era has made a verbal agreement with the county.

But Horsh was not satisfied with just a verbal commitment, she wants it in writing and also voiced other concerns.

Deming told her that he has a meeting next week and says he’ll work to get a zoning agreement in writing.
