Princeville board presses solar developer over missing tree buffer and potential permit violation

Village of Princeville Board · October 6, 2025

Summary

Trustees said a solar developer indicated it would not install a promised tree buffer; the board said the buffer language is in the agreement and Superintendent Chad Gardner will contact the developer about an extra pole that may violate zoning.

Board members said representatives of a solar farm told them that the originally promised buffer of trees would not be installed. Trustee Delbridge pointed to buffer requirements in the contract and said the developer must follow the agreement; President Troutman confirmed the discussion with the representatives.

Superintendent Chad Gardner approved the wildflower seed mix for the project but said he will contact the solar representatives about zoning concerns involving an extra pole that appears to be in violation of the permit or village code. Trustees did not vote on enforcement at the meeting but directed staff to follow up.
