Solar Energy

Diminishing supplies of nonrenewable energy resources threaten the physical and economic well-being of the residents of this community who presently rely on such resources to maintain their homes, industries, businesses and institutions.  Solar energy systems hold great promise for the future energy needs of this community because they use a renewable energy resource; because they require less capital, land, water and other resources needed for central-station generation of electricity; and because they do not pollute the community’s water and air; and the successful use of solar energy systems for such purposes as supplying space heating, water heating or the productions of electricity is dependent upon sufficient access to direct sunlight.  The purpose of regulating these systems is to assure that potentially conflicting interests of individual property owners are accomodated to the greatest extent possible.
