[Vision2020] Anderson "Silo" Development, Jackson & 6th, May Include Wind Turbines?

Thu Jan 17 12:23:54 PST 2008

Ok, so there is a "residential" turbine and this new "cylindrical design" - any details on their use on a building in a downtown area?  What about heights....how high can a building be before this is put on it and then how high can the turbine be?  What percentage of the building's power could be drawn off this kind of turbine?  And to be clear about this, what - if anything - does the City Zoning Code say about building "UP" in the downtown area?  And what is the actual proposed use of the building(s) being proposed?  Is this going to be a residential thing, shopping, both?

Also to be very, very clear - my apology was for making the mistaken I.D. of the area this is being proposed for.

There is a new type of turbine, designed to go 
on top of buildings which uses a cylindrical design rather than a blade design, 
perhaps that is what they will use. It is apparently much quieter than the blade 
driven turbines, as well.

Yep, I did make a mistake.  I apologize.  I was 
  thinking it was the area that once belonged to Beebee and was (under)sold to 
  Dougie without Beebee's knowing who he was selling to(whatever!) 

My 
  bad.

My main question still stands, however; just how can anything be 
  built there WITH a wind turbine?  From what I have seen of them on NEGO 
  and Discovery, the turbines are HUGE and require quite a bit of 
  clearance.  Anyone in the know on wind turbines, know anything different 
  (PLEASE, no history or lectures about their use - I just want that basic 
  questions answered.)  I for one, believe in the use of wind turbines and 
  heartily endorse their use IF it can be safely done.  Also, what about 
  the eye-sore effect of something like that being in the middle of a down-town 
  area?

Thanks and I do apologize for my mistake earlier.

    Ford is obviously confused. 
    He/she seems to think the site in question is on south 
    Main, when in fact it is the one located at SIXTH AND JACKSON.
    Right next to (south of) OTTO"S PRODUCE, diectly (west of) 
    across Jackson from SUN RENTAL, which is located on the east side of south 
    Jackson, one block south (that's toward Lewiston) of the traffic lights at 
    SIXTH AND JACKSON. (Traffic klights are those pole thingies with different 
    colored lights on them that make traffic stop and go, most of the 
    time)
    They are talking about the bins that WERE NOT TORN DOWN. 
    (They are the big whitish colored things, with big, round, silverish colored 
    metal things on either side, which during the holidays have a lit star on 
    top of them.)
    Got it now Ford?
    Facts: They are amazing things. Understand them. Use them. 
    Love them.

WTF does this have to do with Doug Wilson?  The 
      Anderson Group is exploring various options and ideas.  Some may come 
      to fruition and some not.  From my brief conversation with John 
      Anderson several months ago, I got the impression that they were very 
      sincere about trying to do everything in an environmental and people 
      friendly way.  They are attempting to address some of Moscow's needs 
      and to enhance the downtown area.  They should be commended and not 
      attacked.  If you still feel the need to attack, I suggest you wait 
      until they submit plans to the public and the city.  That way you may 
      actually have a clue as to what is actually going on.  Until then, I 
      would recommend that you temper your 'enthusiasm'.  Of course that's 
      just my opinion and you will carry on as you see fit.   

      Now I must get my morning caffeine fix before I read any more 
      inflammatory emails from vision2020 ...

      gives them an out if they don't come through as hoped.

BTW - just 
      how would they be able to do everything they want on such a small 
      space?  Or are they planning on taking over Gritman, tearing it down 
      and THEN putting up a wind Turbine?  Just not sure where they could 
      put something THAT big along with a building on the same 
      site.

Would welcome any "concrete" and solid answers from the great 
      white (NOT!) hope, aka, Dougie and his "hood"....won't get it, but one can 
      always hope.
