Board approves Oral Oaks Solar conditional use permit and siting agreement
Summary
The Board approved CUP 1‑23 for the Oral Oaks Solar facility, adopted the resolution and approved a siting agreement after the Planning Commission recommended conditions and county staff said the project complies with the comprehensive plan.
The Lunenburg County Board of Supervisors approved a conditional use permit (CUP 1‑23) for the proposed Oral Oaks Solar facility on April 11, and adopted the accompanying resolution and siting agreement with financial terms.
Tom Holt, representing Amersco, presented an overview of the solar project. Luke Peters of the Berkley Group told the Board the project "is in compliance with the comprehensive plan" and said the Planning Commission had reviewed the plans and recommended conditions. No members of the public spoke during the hearing on the project.
After discussion, the Board voted unanimously to approve the siting agreement and to adopt the resolution and CUP with the conditions presented by staff and the Planning Commission.
The board did not discuss specific project capacity, acreage, interconnection details or timelines at the meeting; those technical and permit details were part of the Planning Commission file and the developer's application.
