Planning and Zoning Commission <br />Minutes <br />March 12,2019 <br />Mr. Dagenhart said can you explain to me why there would be no glare from MPE-5 and 3? <br />Mr. Healy said MPE-5 faces south and at observation point number 1. <br />Mr. Dagenhart said if you are traveling south on Mount Pleasant Road, those have no bearing? <br />Because, correct me if I am wrong, those rotate, correct? Are those fixed panels on 5 and 3? <br />Mr. Jansen said 5 is fixed, 3 is rotating trackers. <br />Mr. Healy said the analysis did show that MPE-5, at observation point 1, may have some slight <br />glare. It was the green one on the chart. I think just to illustrate, I believe these are the charts you <br />are looking at. So, you can see on here, that early March to mid-April, at about 6:00 in the <br />evening, you have some potential for glare and the coloring here shows you what the intensity <br />rate would look like, based on that SGHAT tool. That is for observation point 6 specifically, <br />right now. That is coming from probably MPE-4. The report, we sectionalized the arrays to try to <br />get a little more granular on the analysis on where the glare would come from. There are several <br />charts in the report showing these, what time of day these could occur and during what seasons. <br />Mr. Paxton said despite some of the concerns on this Board, in your professional opinion, are <br />you now saying once the final landscape plan is presented, in your opinion, it will solve all the <br />issues we are concerned about? <br />Mr. Healy said he would have to review the final to say that and I want to go out to the site to <br />field verify that it is actually creating a line of sight. I do not want to call it a barrier, but there is <br />something in between us and the panels; us and the modules that would mitigate any glare. <br />Mr. Wood said correct me if! am wrong, or help me understand. This page l.A says, for the line <br />of sight view shed analysis, you used high resolution elevation data from Cabarrus County, that <br />we have already talked about, and then you also took into account the provided vegetation plan <br />that is continued on page 1-9. He said is that based off of illustrations that were provided to you <br />at the time? Because a lot of this planting had not been done or still has not been done? <br />Mr. Healy said correct, it was old. That was the previous vegetation plans . <br />Mr. Wood said so these were based off of illustrations, assumptions, you made based off of those <br />illustrations, not something that exists? <br />Mr. Healy said no. Well, we looked at the Google Earth maps to try to identify that and then we <br />looked at landscaping plans, but I would say the bulk of our analysis was based on the Google <br />Earth, more than the landscaping plans. <br />Mr. Wood said okay. So, then based off that, when I go to your table results in 2.0 and I go to the <br />line of sight view shed analysis in 2.2, based off of that line of sight analysis taken with Google <br />30
