• The distances indicated were developed using Google Earth and available project documents • Distances are not claimed to be exact and are approximations used to

demonstrate the inaccuracies in the project documentation.• Distances are calculated from the center of the windmill sites.• Distances can be even shorter if measured from the tip of the blade

diameter. (blade length 47.5 m or 155 ft)

• PDF page 44• Turbines 23, 24 25 and 26 are all closer than these

distances.

• It is unclear why the distance to a PGE line is used as a standard.• The house near Turbine 25 is approximately 224 meters from the turbine and

sits right at the edge of the shaded circle indicating the blade throw distance.

Relative Size of the Turbines

Approximate heights of various notable statues:1. Spring Temple Buddha 153 m (incl. 25 m pedestal and 20 m throne)2. Statue of Liberty 93 m (incl. 47 m pedestal)3. The Motherland Calls 91 m (excl. pedestal)4. Christ the Redeemer 38 m (incl. 8 m pedestal)Turbine data from Epsilon report (hub 90 m above ground, rotor blade 47.5 m)

Note: Great Pyramid of Giza is 138.8 m

turbine hub at 90 meters

Turbine height 137.5 m

Lighting

• Windmills along the ridge behind the Dyer Road residences have no lights on them currently

• Turbines will cast light all night long in both the front and back of the residences located between them

• Current night view has only residence lights, no street lights, one light at the reservoir, and one light at the aqueduct terminus

• Lights of new turbines located south of 580 are have added light to the night view

Closing• Some Dyer Road residents were not notified of the new documents

dated November 4th 2015 until a meeting held on November 12th.

• Residents are unable to easily find information on the Alameda County website regarding the project.• This meeting is held at a time when working residents cannot attend

without affecting their work status and causing a financial burden.

Action Requests• Request a moratorium until windmills south of Dyer Road and 580 are

completed so that residents can have an opportunity to see the impacts.• Request this meeting be put off for at least 90 days until residents

have sufficient time to digest the current ramifications of the documents and the impacts to Dyer Road.• Request Alameda County Staff address the inaccuracies in the

documents that were demonstrated today.• Request simulations as were done in attachment A3 of all views of the

turbines when installed along Dyer Road
