Fincastle council adds specifications for placement and disposal of old solar panels to zoning ordinance
Summary
The Town Council approved language to add specifications on where old solar panels may be placed and how they should be disposed. The hearing produced no public comment and the motion passed unanimously; the transcript does not include the ordinance text.
The Fincastle Town Council on July 11 adopted an addition to the town zoning ordinance that establishes specifications related to the placement and disposal of old solar panels.
A public hearing on the proposed zoning change opened at 7:13 p.m. and closed at 7:14 p.m. with no public comment. Councilor Paige Ware moved to approve the addition to the zoning ordinance; Councilor Jim Reynolds seconded. The motion passed unanimously (Yes: Mayor Mary Bess Smith, Ed Bordett, Jim Reynolds, John Thomas, Paige Ware, Bill Gaul).
The transcript records the topic and the unanimous approval but does not include technical details of the ordinance (for example, setbacks, storage time limits, disposal methods, definition of “old” panels). That language should be confirmed in the town clerk’s office or the ordinance file for specifics and compliance requirements.
The council also approved routine financial items and set its next meeting for Aug. 8, 2024.
