“The city Planning Board on Tuesday resumed its review of a subdivision application seeking to divide the former Pine Brook Golf Club on South Main Street into four parcels. The resulting center parcel is eyed for the development of a solar farm, requiring additional board consideration as developers plan to subsequently request that the city rezone the residential property commercial to allow the project on the site subject to a special use permit.
Details on the subdivision application from Pine Brook Solar LLC and plans for the subsequent community solar project were provided to the board during the Feb. 4 meeting.
The subdivision application is seeking permission to divide the approximately 155-acre former Pine Brook Golf Club property at 280 S. Main St. into four lots. The entire property is currently zoned residential. The first lot created by the subdivision would be approximately 91 acres in size running around the perimeter of the existing property.
“We’ll do whatever the board prefers if we get that far, but in our opinion evergreens in a situation like this can look out of place,” he said.”
