Planning committee weighs solar law clause holding installers responsible for road damage
Summary
The planning committee discussed a draft solar law provision that would require companies whose trucks damage town roads during solar installations to pay for repairs; Supervisor Brownell will send the draft to the town attorney for review.
Planning Committee members reviewed a draft solar ordinance provision addressing liability for road damage during solar installations. The minutes state: "The solar law which states if the company’s trucks installing solar damage our roads, they are responsible." Supervisor Ernie Brownell said he would forward the draft to the town attorney for legal review.
No ordinance was adopted at the Sept. 18 meeting; the matter remains at the committee/draft stage and will proceed to legal review before any formal board action. The discussion indicates the town is seeking to ensure private installers bear repair costs if their vehicles cause damage to town roads.
