On June 13, 2006, the Board heard testimony from the appellant and continued the
item to July 18, 2006, to allow the property owner and appellants to meet and
discuss mitigation and/or relocation of the proposed solar panels.
On July 6, 2006, a meeting was held with the property owner, appellant, appellant's
representatives, Supervisor Piepho and County staff. The appellants proposed a
landscape plan that included low growing trees and bushes to shield the panels
from their property. The proposal provided for the appellants to bear all the
expenses of installation, watering and maintenance, and for Dr.Weiner to provide a
landscape license on to his property.
i
Dr. Weiner indicated a willingness to grant an easement and/or a landscape license
subject to review of the landscape plans and written agreement. To date a final
agreement between both parties has not been reached (see attached Exhibit 1).
