Tioga Preservation Group, et al. v. Tioga County Planning Commission, 970 A.2d 1200 (Pa. Comw. Ct. 2009)

(grant of land use application for construction of wind farm upheld; defendant could consider application because terms of option agreement conferred on permit applicant the necessary property interest required by state law; defendant did not err in granting applicant waiver from screening requirement of local ordinance because such denial would require construction of 200-foot high fence around wind turbines which would have frustrated their effect, obstructed wind flow and provided little or no additional benefit to the community).
