T IMES SOUTHERN ULSTER Vol. 15, No. 9 3 FEBRUARY 28 - MARCH 6, 2018 Last week the former chairwoman of the Lloyd Ethics Board Jill Indelicato lit into two members of the Town Board – Claire Winslow and Supervisor Paul Hansut – for comments that they made last month when she was not reappointed to the Ethics Board. Indelicato took issue first with Winslow. “Claire, you in the newspaper article said I was not honorable to serve in that position. You went on to say its because you asked me to look into Trailview [development project]. Do you know the month and the year that you submitted a letter to the Ethics Board?” Winslow said she did not submit a letter but only had a private conversation.

Last year’s version of the law did permit these projects in residential areas but in the face of significant public criticism, and advocacy by Councilman Joe Mazzetti, the board removed this provision in their revised law. This matter came to the forefront after Wingate Solar/Cypress Creek Renewables proposed a large-scale solar farm in the residential area off Perkinsville Road. Town attorney Sean Murphy highlighted the changes that were incorporated into the new law, noting that large scale solar systems are permitted with a special use permit in the Agricultural, Heavy Industrial, Light Industrial, Designed Business and General Business zoning districts.
