(b)Height. For lots in the SF-1, SF-2, SF-3, SF-4, SF-5,SF-6-, TF-1, MH-1, MH-2,

vegetation on an adjoining property result in practical difficulties in deploying
such a system, the Board of Adjustment can consider a variance to allow
additional height and consider the off-site impediment to wind flow as a valid
hardship for the granting of a variance to a height that will clear the wind
generation system from the impediment.
