I am unable to attend this meeting as I <br />will be at the May Township meeting on the same evening I support solar farms in Hugo and believe that <br />including some additional conditions will eliminate some of the issues that residents are experiencing with <br />the current solar farms: <br /> <br /> * The solar farms must be in an area zoned agricultural <br /> * There must be a minimum of 15 acres for the solar farm <br /> <br />A solar farm would eliminate virtually all of the concerns that neighbors expressed recently regarding an <br />addition to an existing school: <br /> <br /> * No increase in traffic <br /> * No septic system <br /> * No stormwater pond <br /> * No noise <br /> * Maintains the current land as agricultural <br /> * No lighting <br /> * Keeps the area rural <br /> <br />For these reasons, I support solar farms with some additional conditions such as what was outlined <br />above. <br /> <br />Thank you for your consideration, <br />Melanie Zahler <br /> <br /> <br />
