To create a large-scale, 30 megawatt solar farm on a golf course in Hatchville, 20 acres of trees would need to be cut and setbacks to abutting properties reduced. Those conditions are cause of much of the opposition to the project. Opponents are saying it is the right idea but in the wrong location.
âWe support renewable energy, especially a large-scale commercial such as this,â Noreen Stockman, Falmouth Zoning Administrator wrote on behalf of the zoning board. âThe town has many appropriate places for ground-mounted solar, like municipal landfills.â
The few advocates pointed to the benefits, including that the developer purchasing the entire property will donate it to the town after the life span of the arrays, which is about 40 years. Then the land would be conserved in perpetuity. The arrays would be decommissioned and a bond would be set up ahead of time to ensure they are taken down.
FALMOUTH The prospects for a new fire station gained steam Monday when the Select Board voted to send a proposal to the Planning Board for an “approval not required” plan for a station at 860 Sandwich Road.
The station would be located next to the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Falmouth and the George Gaspa Sports Complex, as well as the Falmouth Jewish Congregation.
Located in the southern-most undeveloped parcel the town owns for municipal purposes, the proposed area must be split off from the parcel to begin the planning process.
With an “approval not required plan, Massachusetts general law allows splitting a piece of land into smaller pieces if it has frontage on a public way, Town Planner Thomas Bott said Tuesday. The planning board can endorse a plan within 21 days, he said.
