Planning staff told the board the Solar Farm Project engineer has requested a meeting with the Agricultural Advisory Committee to begin the process of identifying parcels suitable for a conservation easement as required by town code. The board said it will schedule the advisory committee meeting and start the required review steps.
"The project engineer has written a letter to the town wanting a meeting with the Ag Advisory committee," planning staff reported. The board discussed that the advisory review is a new step required by code and that staff and steering-committee members will need to brainstorm an approach since the process has not been defined previously.
