Planning Commission recommends Benzinger Solar extension; community solar plan tabled
Summary
The Planning Commission recommended a 180-day extension for the Benzinger Solar land development; SV CSG Jefferson 1, LLC (community solar) submitted four modification requests and the plan was tabled pending clarifications on impervious cover, buffer definition, setbacks, and municipal lines.
The Planning Commission report to the Board of Supervisors on April 13 included recommendations on multiple land-development items, including a time-extension request and a community solar plan that remains unresolved.
Manager and Planning Commission representative Leo Rosenbauer reported the PC moved to recommend that the board accept a 180-day time extension for the Benzinger Solar Land Development (CVE US PA Winfield 397 Project). The motion carried at the PC level and was forwarded to the board.
PC members also reviewed modification requests submitted by SV CSG Jefferson 1, LLC (Community Solar Gardens). Commissioners requested clarification on four items in the modification requests: (1) specify the surface material beneath solar panels for the impervious-cover calculation in Section 22-1903(B)(2)(c); (2) provide the developer's definition of a "Robust Landscape Buffer" for Section 22-1903(B)(4); (3) update the northern front setback, which the plan currently references to a road centerline rather than the road right-of-way edge; and (4) show the municipal boundary between Jefferson Township and Winfield Township and the entire property boundaries. SV CSG Jefferson 1, LLC asked to table the Land Development Plan for this month and PC members voted to table it.
