Board carries discussion on proposed solar amendment after battery-storage, fire-code concerns
Summary
The Planning Board discussed referral #922A on proposed changes to Chapter 161 (Solar Energy Systems & Equipment); Board Member Ken Nicastro raised concerns about battery storage and updated fire codes and the item was carried to next month for further review.
The Planning Board reviewed referral #922A on potential amendments to Chapter 161, the town's solar energy systems and equipment provisions.
During the discussion Board Member Ken Nicastro raised questions and concerns about battery storage and how it would relate to fire code requirements, stating he did not see a benefit to the town. Chairman Tom Skebey asked Nicastro to write down his questions and re-read the updated fire codes; the item was carried to the July meeting for further consideration.
No formal action or vote was recorded on the language itself at the June 3 meeting; the board deferred additional deliberation to allow members to review updated fire-code provisions and for Nicastro to provide a written list of questions.
