FREEDOM—Voters will get another chance to reinstate the commercial-development review ordinance that was tossed out last year.

Selectmen agreed during Wednesday's meeting to approve a petition to reinstate the ordinance retroactive to June of 2007, when voters agreed to repeal the ordinance just months after they had approved it.

The vote to reinstate the ordinance will be included on the June ballot.

It is unclear how the reinstated ordinance would affect a permit to build three electricty-generating wind turbines that are planned for Beaver Ridge later this year, according to the town attorney.

The Commercial Development Review Ordinance was developed and adopted in 2006 after Portland-based Competitive Energy Services submitted an application to erect the three, 400-foot turbines.

The planning board initially determined that the project met the requirements of the ordinance, but the board of appeals subsequently ruled that the turbines would not meet noise standards and that Competitive Energy had not met requirements for a decommissioning bond.

Residents at a special town meeting in June voted to rescind the ordinance, thus opening the door for Competitive Energy to apply for a permit under the much more lenient building ordinance.

Beaver Ridge Wind, a subsidiary formed by Competitive Energy, was approved to begin construction last summer.
