Summary
The Planning Board closed the public scoping session for the proposed SCS Sarles II solar farm at 180 South Bedford Road on July 22 but left the written comment period open until Aug. 1, 2025. Representatives presented site-plan materials and several residents voiced concerns during verbal public comment.
Chairman Michael McGuirk on July 22 closed the public scoping session for the proposed SCS Sarles II solar farm at 180 South Bedford Road, while leaving the written comment period open until Aug. 1, 2025.
The project (PB2021-0395) is before the board as a site plan with requests for a special use permit and steep-slopes review. Mr. William Null of Cuddy & Feder and Mr. David McConnell presented materials and a scoping statement to the Planning Board.
Verbal public comments were recorded from Rex Peitrobono of 2 Sarles Street, John Rhodes (listed as Stewat Heights in the record), John Stockbridge of Bedford CAC and Maryann Tarnoq of 7 Brentwood Court. The transcript does not include verbatim remarks from those speakers; the board acknowledged their oral submissions during the scoping session.
After the presentations and public comment, Chairman McGuirk moved to close the public hearing while keeping the written comment period open until Aug. 1, 2025; the motion was seconded by Member Barbara Roppolo and carried by a vote of 6 to 0. The public may submit written comments through Aug. 1, after which the board will continue review and schedule further proceedings as needed.
The application remains pending; the board did not vote on the site plan, special use permit, or any substantive approvals at the July 22 meeting.
