Cotuit Solar (continued) • Walter said it is one thing to build one building that is non-conforming on property but to build 3 non-conforming structures on property is most unusual. Walter noted that once the paper road goes away there is no set-back relief. • Walter cautioned Mr. Geyser to keep in mind that he probably can't have any trees in the south/southwest area. Mr. Geyser said it has been laid out doing as little clearing as possible...only has to worry about clearing to the south. • Mr. Geyser said he wanted to get an idea of what might be feasible/possible; an idea re cul-de- sac application; and re-location of the swale. • Charlie Maintanis commented that ground monitor not allowed in C-2 zone, but they would not be ground mounted. • Mr. Geyser said each barn would be approximately 60KW. • Glen Harrington advised that the Board of Health needs a septic inspection report. • Tom Fudala said re-zoned commercial but the way the property is set up now you can't do anything on this property without a variance. • Tom Fudala said drainage only suppose to be street drainage. • Tom Fudala advised that the cul-de-sac would be part of the private street.
