Please find the attached Shadow Flicker Complaint from this morning 8-22-2013.
Please also note that I filed a complaint one year ago today about the same turbine impacting our home with flicker. Our 10 hour maximum was reached on 3/7/2013. Since that time the turbines continue to repeatedly impact our home. It seems that 1 full year should have been enough to address this issue. Currently our home has been impacted by 47 incidents of flicker
lasting for long periods of time, that I have been home to document. I am not sure how many additional instances this has happened. I know that others including Mason County Commissioner, Janet Anderson have been to my home and filmed flicker when I wasn’t home.
This continued violation of the county zoning ordinance along with this intrusion into our home and lives is unacceptable.
Sincerely,
Cary Shineldecker
