NEW BUSINESS
19HCO-03, Arrow Energy Solutions – Request for Highway 20 Development Permit to allow a 2,200 SF PV Roof Array at 11084 US Hwy 20 W (New ARC Building).
MOTION: Baranski moved, seconded by Bochniak to approve Cal. No. 19HCO-03 as written. Discussion: Baranski said he was very pleased that ARC was installing solar. It really is a good thing. Jansen agreed.
Baranski said the only reason the zoning board is seeing this is because the array is slightly over 2000 square feet which Oldenburg could have approved. It’s not a historic building and it is not in the historic district.
Baranski reviewed the approval criteria:
