Thank you. April 10, 2023 Dear Members of the Zoning Board of Appeals, Please keep the laws protecting humans as inviolate as those that protect wetlands. TJA’s project will endanger families and public water supplies. The explosive machinery needed for this project do not appear on the maps and plans TJA has submitted to the planning board for the special permit! One hundred inverters and transformers that contain 50,000+ gallons of combustible coolant and require dry chemicals to extinguish above public water supplies! Machinery that exceeds the EPA safety standards for noise emissions. Hearing damage after one hour exposure. TJA’s deception also leaves the town with the great financial burden of decommissioning. Every family should be protected. Including at the 95’ sole egress to 810 Wakeby Road where combined 250’ setbacks are impossible. The law requires setbacks are to be “undisturbed in perpetuity”. The SJC ruled that access roads are part of a solar installation. They should not be included in our setbacks. This is a project whose very feasibility has relied on deceiving the town at every step over the past four years. That should not be overlooked or rewarded by favors. I have been following this closely for the past 4+ years. Our town spent an enormous amount of time and energy to write this bylaw. That is not to mention the expense! I ask that you abide by the bylaw that is in place and do not grant the request that TJA is seeking. Thank you.
