Residents Thank Board, Urge Transparency on Data-center Draft Language
Summary
During public comment William Price praised commissioners for work on the Newberry development and permitting efforts; Mike Pugliese urged transparency and community safeguards related to a draft data-center ordinance and suggested exploring permitted vs. conditional uses, noise/vibration standards and setbacks in drafting protections.
Two residents addressed the board during public comment with different but complementary themes: William Price offered thanks to the commissioners for their assistance with permitting and the Newberry development, and Mike Pugliese urged transparent community engagement and stronger safeguards related to draft data-center language.
William Price said he appreciated the board's help during permit delays and described his involvement with the Newberry project. Mike Pugliese, who has researched model ordinances, said transparency is the biggest issue and highlighted three protections from other municipalities: distinguishing permitted from conditional uses, addressing low-frequency noise and vibration, and adopting setbacks (he cited 1,000 to 1,500 feet in other ordinances). He recommended the township consider an advisory group or a public feedback mechanism as the draft data-center language is refined.
