47 <br />An adjacent property owner to the north complained she would be adversely impacted <br />by having 2 solar projects near her property (STAFF NOTE: there is a facility, approved by the <br />County in 2012, north of this property operated by Strata Solar). Further she lamented the fact <br />that numerous existing, mature, trees would have to be removed to accommodate the facility. <br />The applicant reviewed the landscape and buffer requirements associated with the project and <br />provided graphic examples of how the required buffers would look like. <br />An attendee asked if the County would cover the costs incurred by adjacent property <br />owners to hire experts to argue against the project. Staff responded the County was not legally <br />or financially responsible for assisting property owners secure the necessary experts to argue <br />for or against a SUP application. There was additional discussion about the SUP review and <br />approval process. <br />Staff concluded the meeting with a summary of the next steps in the process. The <br />meeting was adjourned at approximately 7:30pm. <br />
