NATURE OF PROPOSED WORK:
ZPA - GROUND SOLAR ARRAY BEHIND GARAGE
HARDSHIP:
CONDITION OF APPROVAL:
FINDINGS:
The Planning Board voted to approve the special permit for the ground mounted array based on the plans submitted with the application.
The Board approved the permit upon making the following findings:
(1) The requested use protects adjoining premises against seriously detrimental uses. The panels will be behind the house.
(2) The requested use will have no affect on traffic as the single family home will remain.
(3) The requested use will promote a harmonious relationship of structures and open spaces to the natural landscape, existing buildings
and other community assets in the area.
(4) The requested use will not overload, the City's resources including the effect on the City's water supply and distribution system,
sanitary and storm sewage collection and treatment systems, fire protection, streets and schools; and
(5) The requested use bears a positive relationship to the public convenience or welfare. The use will not unduly impair the integrity of
character of the district or adjoining zones, nor be detrimental to the health, morals, or general welfare. The use shall be in harmony with
the general purpose and intent of the ordinance; and
(7) If applicable, the requested use will promote City planning objectives to the extent possible and will not adversely effect those
objectives, as defined in City master or study plans adopted under MGL c. 41, § 81C and 81D.
