MAHONING TWP. - Township officials will ask the planning commission for Mahoning and Cooper townships for recommendations for regulating ground-mounted solar panels, they said at Monday's Mahoning Township supervisors meeting.
They also will encourage supervisors in neighboring Cooper Township to make the same request.
Zoning Officer Dean VonBlohn told the Mahoning supervisors that he and fellow Zoning Officer Jim Dragano have been seeing an increasing number of solar panels, both on roofs and ground-mounted in Mahoning Township.
Permits are only required to install them on roofs, he said.
"Right now there is no ordinance to put in a large ground-mounted solar farm," VonBlohn said, adding the ordinance should not be to prevent them but to administer them.
