Minutes of Previous Meeting (16th December 2008) Minutes proposed by S Andrew and seconded J Thomson. Mains of Cairnbrogie Wind Turbines Neil Marr – representing the Craigdam Area Residents – said that the Community was taken by surprise as this Project just came to their attention at the beginning of this year after hearing from their Local Councillor. After speaking to Planning they have been advised that they will take representation for a longer period.The main problems seemed to be with the proximity of the Wind Turbines to Craigdam, They had also visited another Site and were quite perturbed about the ‘Flicker Element’ And the noise created. It was also pointed out they had been canvassing for support in the Local Area and the residents were also unaware of the project and had been greatly concerned. Chair advised going to meeting that was to be held in Melvin Hall on 21st January 09 and to put their concerns in writing to CC and also send to Planning. Residents are also putting forward Representatives for CC – so Craigdam can be better aware of what is going on in area and make contribution. Barthol Chapel Matters. CC had received details of a Development bid for land at Barthol Chapel which included a football pitch opposite the Kirk. It was agreed to seek feedback from residents and BCCA. It was noted that opinion was still in favour of retaining the view of the Kirk from the East and that the protected area should be extended to include the land at the rear of the Kirk. Drain near Balgove junction only partly repaired, verge past Tulloford still needs filled in/repaired. J Boughey voiced concerns regarding the Head Teacher at the School doing part-time roll and also working at Fyvie – Hopefully this will be temporary Problem – there is to be a meeting early February to discuss this situation. Local Plan – the overall view seemed to be that they don’t want more development in area but don’t mind organic growth.
