Allen County Planning Commission members will consider adoption of a process to permit wind farms throughout the county by way of a special use permit, when they gather at 7 p.m. Oct. 27.

County Counselor Alan Weber told county commissioners Tuesday zoning regulations do not cover wind farms and that no change in zoning would be required.

Weber said he has already approved applications for erection of meteorological towers to measure various aspects of wind in the county, which didn’t require review by planners or commissioners. A Texas company has indicated an interest in erecting turbines north of LaHarpe.
