AGENDA:

  1. Finalization of the REWG (Renewable energy Working Group) solar bylaw amendment - Peter Murkett

Tom asked if the Planning Board members had an opportunity to review the solar bylaw amendment document so they could make any suggestions.  Tom said that they would need to set the schedule for the public hearing.  Tom said the Town meeting will likely be held around the 21st or 23rd of October, so the information will have to go into the Eagle for two consecutive weeks.  Therefore, this will be advertised in the Berkshire Eagle on 10/5/2023 and on 10/12/2023, and then the public hearing would occur on 10/19/2023. 

The Planning Board unanimously approved the solar bylaw amendment.
