Re: UPC/Global Wind Project ("the Project")


Dear Mr. Moore:

We represent the interests of James Hall regarding the Project, which has been proposed for the Town of Cohocton (the "Town"). It is recently come to our attention that you and your family have entered into several leases with the Project Sponsor (UPC/Global, or one of its subsidiaries) to allow wind turbine generators (WTCs) and or power lines on property owned by you and your family. (Threatening excerpt omitted to protect the innocent).


Response from Mr. Moore:

The property in question is deeded to our daughter and son-in-law, Sara and Richard Edmond, upon the death of my self and my wife. No other family members have any connection or interest to this property. We have signed only one lease with UPC, NOT several.


Continued dialogue from the lawyer:

The Project will not only harm the environment, but the health and safety concerns greatly exceed any benefits of the Project. WTG"S are extremely dangerous to the general public. For example, there is the issue of danger to both human life and property as a result of ice-throw caused by the Wags. There are also noise and lighting issues, which may seriously affect the health of nearby residents. As you now, it is the Board that will make the ultimate decision as to any setbacks required to alleviate these issues. If they are inadequate we will seek legal recourse. Finally it is clear that the Project will have a significant effect on the value of real estate in the Town and nearby areas. In fact, at least one individual that had a purchase contract in place had the buyers rescind that contract when they learned of the Project. (Threatening excerpt omitted to protect the innocent).



Yours etc,

Certain threatening excerpts have been edited out in order to protect an innocent person named in the letter but one who has no connection to the property in question.


Mr. Moore would like to point out that in recent meetings the Wind Watch Committee has express the interest in having the project developed by the Town of Cohocton rather than the proposed developer. It should be pointed out that the town would not only have a larger stake in the profits generated by the project, but would also take on the responsibility of extended liability, construction costs and would in fact have to hire out the development and maintenance of the project. The town does not have the expertise or the finances to engage in the scope of such a large project. Mr. Moore further questioned how the so-called dangers of the Project would be diminished by the ownership of the Project by the Town rather than UPC.
