16 Great Neck Road North <br />Mashpee, Massachusetts 02649 <br />Ms. Waygan would like to go back to the packet. The 2019 definitions are fine. The next one is <br />something about the land space requirement table. She would like a refresher of what that <br />was. <br />Mr. Lehrer commented the Select Board did not support this. There is a minimum frontage <br />requirement of 150 ft. and a fair amount of parcels would be considered unbuildable because <br />they lack of frontage on a street and would require construction of a street to access that are <br />more ideal solar parcels than others. This was proposed to reduce frontage requirement for <br />enough width for that access of a vehicle to service the solar energy system. For solar energy <br />systems on roofs, if someone does not have an ideal angle to the sun and wouldn't have <br />adequate access to solar energy and needed to put ground mounted on grade, roof, or roof <br />panels, just like a chimney, the solar panels will not create a non -conformity that extends 35 <br />feet in height. <br />Mr. Lehrer went on to discuss the remaining petitions are the use table modifications. The <br />differences lie between the petition articles and this article, you see SP in every column for <br />each of the medium and large scale uses, and the petition you only saw it in the districts with <br />those applicable lots, which was C2 and R5. The difference in the petition article is the <br />establishment of the overlay district itself. We had no overlay district in the 2019 article. The <br />small scale passed at Town Meeting. At the time, the bylaw only said ground mounted energy <br />systems with a name plate capacity, and we had interests from a property owner prior to this <br />who didn't have any sun on his roof. He wanted a ground mounted solar array and he couldn't <br />due to the language at that time. The Board submitted and the Select Board supported the <br />approval of the small scale. Town Meeting also approved it. None of the performance <br />standards passed. <br />Ms. Faulkner asked about the site plan for ground mounted solar and wonders why we can't <br />say something like we will put evergreens around the perimeter at a minimum of so many feet. <br />Mr. Lehrer noted you could have a substantial forest in the summer and when the leaves are <br />gone in the winter, you still don't want to see the array. Evergreens are residential, but berms <br />would accommodate. Wareham has a large solar array next to the Target that has a chain link <br />fence and it is not attractive. They built an earth and berm and planted trees around the <br />perimeter but they are not mature yet. <br />Ms. Waygan reterated the small scale solar energy passed and it is by right, but medium and <br />large scale solar energy systems did not pass. <br />11 <br />
