16 Great Neck RoadNorth wlashyee, _Massachusetts o2649 inches, and no approval for panels containing PFAs. The following changes will include striking R3, R5, C3, and noting 11 permitting is through Site Plan Review. Seconded by Ms. Faulkner. Roll Call Vote: Mr. Fulone: No, Mr. Richardson: No, Ms. Faulkner: Yes, Mr. Balzarini: Yes, Ms. Waygan: Yes (3-2) Ms. Waygan stated it will come back to them for updates of performance standards for systems permitted via an overlay district for October. It there are people who have come forward with parcels, those should be considered as part of an overlay. You cannot spot zone, you have to have more than one grouping. Because of the court case, we need to include these protective provisions in our bylaw now. Mr. Lehrer noted one criteria would be pre disturbed parcels. He would like to consider the other allowable land uses. If tree protection or forest protection is something of importance we want to encourage that, we would also prefer not to have any new septic systems. Sub - divisible parcels might serve a better purpose for solar use, where impacts are less detrimental. He noted the best way to identify an overlay district would be through an engagement process. Ms. Faulkner asked if he would identify and explain why a lot would be better suited for solar. He went on to say from a technical standpoint, the lot already being cleared or pre —disturbed, isolated from a developed residential neighborhood, or land locked. Zoning is often about incentivizing uses. Ms. Waygan would like this submitted, with the caveat the Board will review it one more time. They will look at it one last time on 3/1/23, she would like Mr. Lehrer to speak with Mr. Collins and she will speak with the Select Board Chair, just to ensure typos are corrected. PUBLIC COMMENT Lynne Barbee- She feels strongly that Mashpee does not want solar, except small, in residential areas, allowing even medium, much less large, allows land owners to rent or sell to solar. That's not what we want with residentially zoned land. She knows one person in particular where this would apply. He could expand existing development and put more spaces for housing not solar. She thinks it makes sense to distinguish medium from large. Having a bylaw for large, a bylaw for medium, and a bylaw for small clarifies it for people, they may want medium in commercial but not large. She did her own research. She spoke to people in the town of Waltham about their experience. Her position is based on advice given to her from those citizens. There needs to be controls and regulations about buffers and preserving residential land for the desperately needed residential housing. 91
