HomeMy WebLinkAboutRE: 142 Thacher Shore Road solar projectDear Ms. Grant,
Thank you again for sending the materials. I would like to register the comment with both Commissions that both the Conservation and Old Kings Highway should require the project to be
screened from our visual impact. Reasonable screening will not affect the functioning of the system.
Would you be able to forward this to the relevant people or should I write a more formal letter?
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely yours,
Frederica Perera

Hi Mrs. Perera
I have attached the sketch plans and narrative for the project for your information.
I also confirmed with the Old Kings Highway office that the abutter notification for their permitting process was mailed Aug 29th to 40 East 94th Street, Apt 30A. NY. There is a 10
day appeals period starting Sept 12th for the approval for the project.
From what I can see on Google Earth there is a large stand of trees in the north-west of the parcel that will block any view of the array, though you are encouraged to assess the project
to your own satisfaction.
I will pass your comments to the Commission for their information. However, as discussed during our phone call, impacts on view are not a performance standard by which the Conservation
Commission can review the project under the regulations.
Regards
Kelly Grant
