Bond County Board adopts zoning ordinance amendment; solar farm fee structure discussed
Summary
The Bond County Board approved Ordinance 09-03-24-01 amending the county zoning ordinance on Sept. 3, 2024, and discussed whether solar farm permit fees should be charged per square foot rather than a flat fee.
The Bond County Board of Commissioners approved Ordinance 09-03-24-01 amending the Bond County, Illinois Zoning Ordinance at its Sept. 3, 2024 regular meeting in Greenville. The measure was adopted by a Roll Call Vote of 4 ayes, 0 nays after a motion by Commissioner Jeff Rehkemper and a second by Commissioner Wes Pourchot.
Zoning Administrator Brad Criner presented his August month-end report on permits, inspections and revenues and told the Board that "our fee schedule was right in line with neighboring Counties." Commissioner Jeff Rehkemper asked whether the county should revise its solar farm fee schedule and suggested charging by square foot instead of a flat fee; the transcript records the suggestion and discussion but no immediate change to the fee schedule.
The ordinance text adopted amends the county zoning ordinance originally adopted Dec. 1, 1991 and lists subsequent amendment dates in the record. The Board carried the motion unanimously. No fiscal or implementation details beyond the board discussion were recorded during the meeting; any change to fee structure would require a future action by the Board.
