Earlier this year, the Sabetha City Commission prohibited commercial wind generation facilities within its extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction, which at that time extended approximately 1-1/2 miles from the City’s contiguous city limits. This prohibition was recommended following a hearing by the Sabetha Planning Commission. At the Planning Commission’s meeting on that topic, members of the public asked if the extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction’s border could extend farther than it does currently.
