Reno County commissioners tentatively agreed Tuesday to amend draft regulations on commercial wind developments to require a minimum 3,000-foot setback for wind turbines from residential structures. During a 2 ½-hour meeting, the board also reached a consensus to set a mandatory 3-mile setback around state and federal wildlife properties, deleting language allowing it to be waived. But it left up in the air changes pushed by Commission Chairman Ron Hirst and some county residents for lower maximum sound and shadow flicker limits.
