PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that a public hearing will be held by the Town Board of the Town of Hartford on August 13, 2024 at 7:05 p.m. at the Offices of the Town of Hartford, 165 Hartford Main Street, Hartford, New York, to discuss a proposed Local Law IMPOSING A LIMITED LARGE SCALE SOLAR ENERGY GENERATING FACILITY LAND USE MORATORIUM. An opportunity to be heard in regard thereto will then and there be given to all interested persons. The proposed local law would impose a moratorium providing that no site plan application shall be reviewed or approved by the Planning Board and no permits shall be issued by the Enforcement Officer with respect to large scale solar energy generating facilities, hereby defined as non-farm large scale solar systems having a rated nameplate capacity of greater than 12 kW DC for sale to utility companies or for other commercial use. The moratorium would have an initial term of one (1) year from the date of its adoption and may be extended for up to two (2) additional periods not exceeding six (6) months each by resolution of the Town Board upon a finding of necessity for such extension. The local law also provides a procedure for relief from the moratorium on the grounds of unusual hardship or circumstances that would deprive a property owner of the reasonable use of land. A copy of the aforesaid local law is on file in the Town Clerk’s Office, 165 Hartford Main Street, Hartford, New York.
