After reviewing possible revisions, the Otisfield Planning Board concluded it could not identify an appropriate modification to the town's solar ordinance for parcels of 3 acres or less, and voted unanimously to table further conversation and leave the ordinance unchanged.

The Otisfield Planning Board reviewed possible revisions to its current solar ordinance at the Jan. 13 meeting and voted to leave the ordinance unchanged for parcels of 3 acres or less.

Board members discussed potential modifications but concluded they could not identify a suitable change applicable to small parcels. A motion that, after review, the board could not come up with a good modification for 3-acre-or-less parcels and that further conversation be tabled was moved (mover not specified in the transcript), seconded by Chairman Peter Tilkemeier, and approved unanimously (3-0).

The motion leaves the existing ordinance in effect as written. The transcript does not record proposed text for an amendment, revised ordinance language, or an assigned timeline for re-opening the discussion.
