From YouTube: Planning and Zoning Commission March 3, 2021
A
A
Planning
and
zoning
commission
can
we
establish
a
quorum?
Please
hi
here,
mr
hoff,
here
mr
cannelli.
A
A
A
Report
secretary
eisenberg
all
right
good
evening,
everyone
thank
you
all
for
being
here
tonight.
C
So,
just
a
couple
things
to
make
you
all
aware
of
that
march
is
a
five
wednesday
month,
meaning.
C
C
C
C
C
Several
items
for
the
agenda
and
we
will
not
have
an
april
7th
meeting
so
then,
in
that
vein,.
C
C
C
Continued
public
outreach
effort,
we
thought
it
would
be
good
to
invite
them
and
they
liked
that.
C
C
What
they
are
doing
in
terms
of
honey
run
reservoir,
so
we
saw
it
would
be
very
similar.
C
C
C
Yes,
so
on
tonight's
agenda,
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
one
of
two
text;
amendments
that
are.
C
Coming
forward
for
the
i1
zone,
I
did
send
you
the
information,
the
request
from
shaffer.
C
C
As
well
as
some
staff
research
and
a
proposal
for
the
amendment
itself,
so.
C
Freedom
plan
and
the
2014
carroll
county
master
plan.
This
use
was
eliminated
from
the
i1
zone.
C
C
C
Commission
to
see
what
your
thoughts
are
and
to
make
a
recommendation
for
the
board
to
hear.
C
At
some
future
point
in
time
and
again,
this
is
our
typical
process
can
remember
the
last
time.
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
Area,
that's
non-municipal
that
has
a
sustainable
community
designation.
So
this
is.
B
B
C
Against
is
to
put
tools
in
the
toolbox
to
help
with
economic
development
and
redevelopment.
C
Them
some
opportunities
to
have
some
redevelopment
potential,
some
of
the
programs
that's
getting.
C
Into
all
of
the
sustainable
community
are
facade
improvements,
demolition,
re-parcelization,.
C
To
try
to
get
the
ball
rolling
and
the
reason
again
we
wanted
to
keep
it
limited
for
this
case.
C
Allowed
and
it's
a
non-conforming
use
in
this
area
pre-existing
non-conforming
use.
So
how
can.
C
C
C
Have
the
dark
purple
the
red
and
then
the
lighter
purple?
Those
are
the
zone,
i1
properties
within.
C
C
C
And
make
sure
it
meets
the
adaptive
reuse
criteria,
so
this
would
be
the
change
to
158.
C
Following
conditions
still
remain
in
place
so
again,
just
changing
those
two
parts
of
the
text.
C
So
again,
today
was
just
an
introduction,
we'll
come
before
you
again
on
march
16th
to
review
this.
C
You
and
then,
hopefully,
on
march
third,
first,
when
we
do
have
that
we
can
return
to
this
topic.
C
B
B
For
these
adaptive
reuses
for
existing
conditions,
existing
building,
which
I
think
you
know,
makes.
B
B
C
Yeah,
actually
they
have
so
we
worked
very
closely
with
the
things
for
group
and
we
attend.
C
So
you
know
they
haven't
submitted
a
formal
comment.
Maybe
we'll
get
that
from
them,
but
we.
C
C
C
C
How
well
adaptive
reuse
does
work
and
then
a
controlled
setting
if
we
find
that
this
is
a
great.
C
C
These
voids
within
the
community.
I
think
it's
a
reasonable
first
step,
linda
definitely.
C
Yeah,
absolutely
so
again
we
will
be
back
before
you
then
next
week.
I'm
sorry
our
next
meeting
to.
E
Or
it
could
probably
be
used
for
other
things
as
well.
I
assume
but
self
storage,
typically.
E
Doesn't
generate
many
jobs,
there
are
other
uses
for
facilities
that
might
generate
more
jobs
in.
E
The
community
is
that
something
that
look
I'm
not
opposed
to
this,
but
is
that
something
that's.
E
Gone
into
them,
because
here
this
might
employ
two
people
if
it
were
used
for
something
else,.
C
So
I
think
yeah
I
think
it
could
be
broadened
or
across
to
make
the
argument
for
right.
A
C
A
Thank
you.
Moving
along
to
item
number,
seven,
our
community
solar
zoning
text,
amendment.
F
Good
evening
I
have,
as
you
know,
I
sent
the
laura
percent
on
to
you.
The
changes
that
we.
F
Made
to
the
text
since
the
last
meeting
in
response
to
a
couple
of
requests
that
you
had.
F
F
Changes
that
we
made
in
response
to
your
request,
the
last
meeting,
so
I
can
share
my
screen.
F
Didn't
meet
the
criteria
of
being
able
to
keep
this
in
an
agricultural.
F
F
F
To
add
these
two
additional
language
pieces
in
here,
we
did
want
to
point
out
that
there
is.
F
Laura
mathias,
if
she
could
just
review
that
with
you,
you
know,
we've
been
going
through.
F
G
G
G
G
G
Brenda
has
already
shared
with
you
right.
The
primary
use
of
the
property
shall
continue
to
be.
G
B
Laura
I
I
get.
I
you
have
a
valid
point,
though
I
do
like
emphasizing
it
as
well,
but
I.
B
Language
I
mean
I
understand
what
your
your
point
is:
you're,
saying
that
we.
B
Already
have
it
anyway
yeah.
I
gotcha
this
just
a
question
of
whether
we.
B
So
I
get
you
I
understood.
Is
there
someone
where
we
can
just
reference
the
155
site
plan.
G
F
F
F
With
the
site
plan,
and
then
the
language
here
also
says
that
it
would
the
planning
commission.
F
F
Decommissioning
and
removal
takes
place,
so
we
just
added
a
couple
words
there
to
say
in
their.
F
And
disposed
of
in
a
way
that
would
be
appropriate
and
not
just
like
buried.
You
know.
E
This
is
jeff
weathers.
I
just
have
one
quick
question
under
h.
E
Obnoxious,
weeds
invasive
plants
and
talks
about
grazing.
I
think
grazing
of
farm
animals.
E
F
F
So
j
white
is
is
on.
If
you,
if
you
you
know,
if
you
want
to
add
anything
jay
but.
F
F
F
Jay,
did
you
have
anything
to
add?
Basically
brenda
you
carried
everything
like
you
say,.
F
All
right,
and
so
we're
going
to
start
with
the
agricultural
community.
F
We
have
harry
sellers
with
us
tonight,
who
is
the
president
of
the.
F
This
amendment
and
then
you
know,
take
questions
from
you
for
maybe
another
10
minutes
or
so.
F
So
we'll
start
with
mr
sellers-
and
I
think
bill
rash
is
also
was
intended
to.
F
Be
joining
us
and
he
is
also
on
the
farm
bureau.
I'm
not
sure
whether
he
is
on
or
not,
but.
B
Yes
harry:
we
can
hear
you,
okay,
all
right,
I'm
not
as
up
on
all
these
zoo
meetings.
J
As
you
are,
but
I'll
try
my
best
here
again,
my
name
is
harry
sellers
from
the.
J
J
Know
or
you
know
what,
if
you
go
from
these
two
megawatts,
you
know
what
if
they
want
to
go
with
a.
J
Panels
are,
can
have
poisonous
or
toxic
waste
leak
out
of
them.
I
don't
you
know,
and
then
the
other.
J
As
19
000
acres
in
the
county
on
ag
remainders
now
that
you've
opened
it
up
to
larger
acreages
and.
J
The
other
thing
is,
a
lot
of
our
farmers
also
rely
on
some
of
these
ag
remainders.
You
know.
J
So
you
know
just
just
wanted
to
voice
our
opinion
and
let
you
know
that
we're.
J
Opposed
to
any
of
these
solar
community
solar
projects
on
ag
land,
I
don't
know
if.
J
J
B
Questions
that
I'll
just
kind
of
jump
into
you
know
a
couple
of
the
concerns
you
mentioned.
B
Course
the
text
amendment
we're
looking
at
is
providing
for
the
bonding
of
their
removal.
B
B
Thing
that's
an
interesting
thing.
I'd
like
to
know
more
about
was
one
of
the
concerns
regarding.
B
Some
of
the
farmers
losing
land
that
they're
renting
to
solar
panels.
I
I
would.
J
F
F
Not
I
can't
even
ask
him
if
he
had
anybody
else
with
him
tonight.
Would
you
like
to
move
on
to.
D
Understand
their
concerns
as
fully
as
we
can
and
since
we're
having
some
technical
difficulties.
D
F
The
other
person
I've
invited
is
leslie
elder.
She
represents
the
coalition
for
community.
K
K
From
harry
and
and
his
concerns
particularly,
but
I
I
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to.
K
K
And
nonprofits
working
to
expand
customer
choice
through
community
solar.
We
have
35
members.
K
K
K
K
K
K
In
the
current
version,
including
being
limited
to
the
remainder
parcels
and
the
undefined.
K
Requirements
for
the
permanent
conservation
easements
first
by
limiting
solar,
siding.
K
K
K
K
In
addition,
we
have
two
key
concerns
around
the
requirements
of
the
conservation,
easements.
K
K
If
the
developers
expected
to
lease
the
project,
it
is
expected
to
compensate
the
landowners
for.
K
K
K
Collaborate
with
you
and
the
agricultural
community
on
a
workable
solution.
Thank
you.
B
Leslie,
I
have
a
question
or
two:
we
received
some
feedback
regarding
that
right
now,
the.
B
B
K
K
Expert
on,
but
it
is
a
it's,
those
projects
are
still
regulated
to
be
under
two
megawatts
and.
B
K
Great
question
so
all
of
the
property
tax
increases,
as
well
as
any
of
the
real
tax.
K
Increases
are
the
the
cost
of
the
developer
themselves
and
not
the
cost
of
the
landowner.
So.
K
K
Were
referring
to
earlier,
which
is
maintenance
of
the
facility?
So
if
there's
obnoxious,
weeds.
K
K
D
D
Aware
of
regarding
that
yeah,
I'm
I'm
aware
of
these
concerns,
there's
been
a
lot
of
scientific.
K
Studies
that
have
actually
debunked
this,
this
theory,
which
I'm
happy
to
share
with
you.
K
Of
their
land
happy
to
share
those
studies
over
with
you,
but
from
all
of
our
experience.
E
A
little
bit
unnecessarily
harsh
when
I
said
that
I
think
these
these
solar
panels
and.
E
Agricultural
land
are
ugly,
but
I
do
think
they
are
and
rained
me
in
a
little
bit.
He
said.
E
By
these
panels
causes
me
heartburn,
I
don't
like
that
so
so,
while
I
hear.
E
And
having
these
having
this
vista,
interrupted
with
these
things,
troubles
me.
E
So
I'd
be
interested
in
speaking,
you
speaking
to
how.
How
can
you
make
me
feel
better
about
that.
E
In
places
other
than
agriculturally
zoned
land,
like
commercial
or
industrial.
E
Zones,
yeah
sure
so
I'll
take
the
first
part
of
your
question
and
then
the
second.
If
you're.
K
Okay
with
that,
so
as
as
far
as
this
is
I
again,
I
appreciate
that
going
back
to
being.
K
K
One
thing
that
I
do
just
want
to
without
going
down
a
massive
rabbit
hole.
One
thing.
K
K
Legislature
is
the
incentives
in
order
to
be
able
to
make
a
lot
of
the
community
solar
facilities.
K
Incredibly,
economical
on
some
of
the
commercial
sites,
they're
just
significantly
more
expensive.
K
About
that
leslie
one
other
question
I
have
and
you
don't
you
know,
a
range
is
fine,
but
I
want
to.
B
B
K
B
A
A
Besides,
okay
yeah,
so
at
this
this
point
in
time
we
are
legally
mandated
to
be
two
megawatts.
K
Or
less
the
community
solar
pilot
program
will
maintain
that,
but
there's
only
three
years.
K
Left
in
the
community
solar
pilot
program,
after
that
there
would
be
a
legislative
change.
K
In
annapolis,
that
would
be
required
to
extend
that
program
out
at
that
point
in
time.
K
K
With
them-
and
so
I
think
that
we
would,
we
would
not
be
pushing
for
that,
at
least
not
at
this
time.
A
F
F
And
yeah,
so
you
probably
should
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
taking
comments.
Then
I
do
see
one
call.
A
L
L
L
L
L
L
L
Shouldn't
try
to
pick
sort
of
the
eligible
sites
via
the
zoning
code
and
essentially
you
know.
L
L
With
the
community
and
with
you
know,
willing
landowners,
so
I
I
hope
the
commission
will.
L
G
M
Hi-
and
this
is
amber
lee
young
with
community
power
group,
can
you
all
hear
me?
Yes,
we
can
hi.
M
M
M
M
Aggregated
net
metering
facilities
and
the
we
wanted
to
reiterate
our
suggestion
that
the.
M
M
M
M
M
Limitations
for
agricultural
parcels,
but
thanks
for
the
opportunity
to
comment-
and
we
appreciate.
M
It
thank
you,
I
don't
think
we
have
any
other
callers
on
the
line.
Brenda
the
one
thing
about.
F
That's
right,
the
commissioners
directed
us
to
look
specifically
at
remaining
portions
and
they.
F
Also
directed
us
to
include
the
easement
as
a
part
of
this
as
a
part
of
what
we
built
into
this.
F
F
Facilities
in
the
future
now
it
is
true
that
right
now
they
are
capped
at
two
megawatts.
F
F
Mean
that
state
law
couldn't
change,
but
so
the
part
of
the
idea
with
the
easement
is
it.
Would
it.
F
F
You
know
facilities
that
continue
to
expand
larger
and
larger
in
the
future,
but
I
believe
that.
F
Reason
the
commissioners
requested
the
easement
to
be
included
in
this.
Is
you
know
right
now.
F
B
Brenda
as
someone
who's
worked
a
lot
with
ag
easements
I
I
guess
I
have
a
couple
thoughts
on.
B
Solar
panel
arrays,
in
my
mind
you
know
50
years
from
now.
I
don't
think
they're
going
to
be
there.
B
Panel
on
the
side
of
my
house
that
runs
my
whole
house.
Technology
is
changing
very
quickly,
so.
B
On
these
solar
panels,
we
as
county
are
asking
for
a
permanent
easement.
B
Know
at
the
ag
preservation
easements
have
a
long
history,
some
especially
early
on.
B
B
B
Time
and
it
could
be,
you
know,
50
years
from
now,
remainder
parcel
might
have
a
different
ability.
B
D
Or
or
revert
you
know
given
up,
I
guess
would
go
away
expire
whatever
you
want
to
say
you.
D
D
B
D
A
bad
idea,
but
but
that's
my
pre,
that's
my
predisposition,
but
I
do
think
that
there
are
three.
D
D
D
D
The
easement
goes
away,
I
mean
again
because
I
see
them
being
connected
so
that
that's
one
thought.
D
D
Governments,
schools,
commercial
properties
to
to
benefit
from
it.
I
think
that's
the
second
and
then.
D
D
The
way
we
did
because
there's
obviously
rationale
to
it,
but
but
again
I
think
those
are
the
three.
D
N
Yes,
because
I've
had
problems
with
my
computer
lately,
so
let
me
address
some
of
the
concerns.
N
Mister
listed
you
brought
up
first
regarding
the
length
of
the
easements,
and
all
I
mean
our
our.
N
N
N
N
N
There's
no
time
limits
on
them
so
to
actually
take
this
purpose
of
providing
a
permanent.
N
Easement,
which
the
board
directed
us
to
look
at
and
turning
it
into
a
unlimited
term.
N
Limited
easement
doesn't
make
any
sense,
because
the
direction
from
the
board
was
that
we
could.
N
Of
a
rezoning
process
with
properties-
and
you
were
picking
properties
and
not
picking
properties.
N
With
everything
that
we
basically
do,
so
you
know
take
those
things
into
consideration.
N
N
Developed
in
some
capacity
so
putting
things
solar
on.
That
was
something
that
I
think.
N
N
N
It
to
the
solar
all
right-
and
there
was
a
final
point
I
wanted
to
make
too.
N
N
On
this
issue,
so
you
know
those
were
very
clear:
you
know
directions
they
gave
us.
Oh,
I
want.
C
N
How
much
you
heard?
Oh
my
gosh
and
I
don't
know
if
I
can
repeat
it
all,
but
we
did
have
very.
N
Specific
discussions
on
a
lot
of
these
topics
with
the
board,
and
so
we
can
certainly
provide
any.
N
N
I
would
say
there's
a
very
much
likelihood
that
that
two
megawatt
solar
field
on
that
20
acres
may.
N
N
B
It
just
might
exist
in
a
very
different
form
and
it
might
power
off
a
lot
more
tom.
Thank
you.
B
For
kind
of
filling
in
some
of
the
perspective,
while
not
to
put
commissioner
cancel
on
the
spot.
B
B
B
But
while
I
got
commissioner
lance
here,
did
you
have
anything
that
you
wanted
to
add
or
did.
O
No,
I
think
both
tom
and
brenda
dan
first
of
all
good
evening,
everybody
nice,
to
see
everybody.
O
O
Guys
to
engage
and
your
conversation
tonight,
pete
dan
jeff,
your
questions,
all
of
your.
O
O
So
this
isn't
going
anywhere
anytime
soon
and-
and
I
haven't
been
able-
we've
been
a
little
bit.
O
O
Little
bit
of
work
on
that
as
well
because,
as
you
guys
know,
with
my
background
in
public.
O
Safety,
there's
always
been
this
challenge
with
the
with
the
rooftop
arrays,
because
they
are.
O
Incredibly
dangerous
to
our
firefighting
community.
You
know:
we've
gone
so
far
in
annapolis
and.
O
In
with
with
legislation
to
make
sure
that
there
are
walkways
on
roofs
for
for
safety
and.
O
You
know
to
be
quite
honest:
there
there's
a
lot
of
of
public
safety
issues
with
solar.
O
O
Know
get
off
the
fire
engine
and
get
the
fire
hose
ready,
doesn't
work
here.
So
there's
just
a
lot.
O
Let's
not
forget
that
we
really
wanted
to
make
this
as
attractive
as
workable
in
the
in.
O
Don't
know
how
many
folks
have
been
up
by
mount
st
mary's
college
in
the
recent
few
in
the
recent.
O
O
Remainders,
you
know
we
we
really
did,
but
we
really
felt
that
that
was
the
safest
and
and.
O
A
A
But,
okay,
any
other
any
other
and
cynthia.
That's
why
the
conversation
that
you
guys.
O
And
you
know
I
I
applaud
you.
I
applaud
you
guys
for
thinking
about
all
these
things,
because.
O
That'll
help
us
make
the
the
decision
here
and
you're
right
you're
spot
on.
O
O
And
that's
you
guys,
that's
what
I
want
to
do
so.
That's
another
reason
why
we
kind
of
wanted.
O
To
get
out
in
front
of
all
this,
you
know
so
no
very
valuable
point
cynthia.
Thank
you.
A
F
F
Where
you
want
to
go
from
here,
we
have
the
text
and
you
know
what
do
you
want
to
do
next.
F
The
recommendation
to
provide
to
the
commissioners,
of
course,
first
you'll,
need
to
discuss
and.
F
Decide
what
your
recommendation
is
going
to
be
so
in
terms
of
what.
B
E
You
know
one
thing
so
far
from
the
agricultural
side,
you
know
harry
was
speaking
to
us
and
I
think.
E
Last
time,
wayne
barnes
also
was
speaking
to
us
from
sort
of
the
agricultural
perspective.
E
And
so
far
at
least
my
perception
is
that
the
agricultural
voice
we're
getting.
E
That
come
from
the
agricultural
side
that
maybe
see
it
differently.
You
know
those
could.
C
Bernie,
you
have
been
getting
comments.
I
think
you
did
have
one
from
a
farmer
and
that
same
thing.
F
F
This
on
their
property,
so
you
know,
I
think,
as
a
community.
They,
it
sounds
like
the
I
community.
F
F
B
When
harry
was
talking
about
several
of
the
concerns
that
were
brought
up
by
the
farm
bureau,.
B
B
As
well,
which
I
kind
of
found
interesting,
so
I
think
there
might
be
a
little
bit
of.
B
Some
of
that
could
be
coming
from.
You
know
I
mentioned
previously
that
we
had
spoken
to
many.
F
The
concepts
were
prior
to
coming
to
the
planning
commission
with
what
we
have
now.
E
Opens
pandora's
box
for
development
and
that
sort
of
thing-
and
I
think
you
know
the.
E
But
it's
being
addressed,
and
so
I
get
that
we
have
the
sort
of
this
yang
and
yang
back
and.
E
E
The
ag
community
that
we
can,
because
it's
such
an
important
part
of
our
of
our
heritage
and
our.
E
In
our
community
here
in
this
in
this
county,
so
the
more
I
can
be
educated,
we
can
all
be
educated.
O
Gotten
you
know
one
one:
a
dear
friend
of
mine
who's,
a
big
ag
guy
here
in
the
county.
O
Language
in
there
that
says
that
it
will
be
on
the
least
productive
areas
of
the
remainder.
O
O
To
see
these
huge
solar
arrays,
so
so
a
lot
of
them
are
are
really
thinking
about
this.
So
I've.
O
With
by
the
name
of
weaver,
you
guys
probably
know
him
anyway,
he
he's
got
a
lot
to
say
about
this.
O
Too
and
he
he
eats
sleeps
and
breathes
the
zag
stuff.
So
he'll
he's
got
some
comments
too.
