The recommendations included in this chart indicate the minimum distance needed
to protect health and safety of residents. This doesn't imply that official
setbacks, as in an ordinance, should specify that a distance be measured from individual residences. To protect the ability of property owners to the use and enjoyment of their property, it makes the most sense to measure setbacks from the property line. If setbacks aren't measured from the property line, then property owners effectively lose the right to use and enjoyment of their property, and may lose the ability to build on it. Of course, these recommendations indicate that any existing residence which is within the specified distance of a wind turbine may be adversely affected. Click here for full-size graph
