HOPKINTON âMembers of the Town Council had a lengthy discussion at a Dec. 14 workshop of a proposal to amend the townâs zoning ordinance as it pertains to applications for solar energy projects.
The changes, first discussed at the Dec. 7 council meeting, were deemed sufficiently complicated as to require at least one workshop to allow councilors and members of the public to ask questions.
The proposal was submitted by attorney Peter Skwirz on behalf of his clients, Tom and Cynthia Sculco, owners of a property that abuts the sites of two proposed solar energy facilities.
âThey are in the abutter radius of a couple of projects, some of the larger projects in town,â Skwirz said. âI wonât mention them by name because this ordinance is not aimed at those projects specifically, but thatâs how they became involved â concerned citizens.â
