SOUTH HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Reno County Planning Commission will have more discussion on the edits to the solar regulations asked for by the Board of County Commissioners when the board meets March 21.
The Board of County Commissioners on Wednesday, March 13 voted to send the text of proposed regulations for Limited-Scale Commercial Solar Energy Projects back to the Planning Commission for further work.
They specifically are seeking clarification on exterior sound regulations, specifics on what a building that would hold storage batteries for such a project would be, the possibility for pollution and how it would be dealt with and whether a grandfathered project could have another project nearer to it than would otherwise be allowed in the regulations.
Also on the agenda for the Planning Commission are two zoning cases.
One is a request by Frederick III & Arelie Craig (Applicant: Garber Surveying Service, P.A.) for a Homestead Agricultural Lot Split as provided for under Article 3-106 of the Reno County Subdivision Regulations. The property is zoned AG – Agricultural District and located at 2396 W. 82nd Avenue, approximately ¼ mile east of the intersection of W. 82nd Avenue and N. Pennington Road.
The second is a request by the Wewe Family Trust and Adam & Leah Ekeler to vacate all that portion of Gil Court lying adjacent to Lots 29-36 inclusive and being west of the western right-of-way of Walker Road in Shel-walk Lacres Subdivision.
The Reno County Planning Commission will meet Thursday, March 21 at 4:30 p.m. at the Reno County Public Works facility at 600 Scott Boulevard in South Hutchinson.
