“The Common Council has unanimously rejected a request by solar developers to rezone portions of the former Pine Brook Golf Club property from residential to commercial to allow construction of a community solar farm at the center of the site. The rejection will not kill the project outright as developers may still apply to the Zoning Board of Appeals for a variance.
The Common Council on Tuesday finally issued a decision on the request by solar developers, Eden Renewables, to rezone from residential to commercial three subdivided parcels from the former Pine Brook Golf Club at 280 S. Main St.
The Planning Board in October approved a subdivision of the 155-acre Pine Brook Golf Club at 280 S. Main St. by a 3-2 vote. That resulted in the creation of a 57-acre lot at the center of the property, a 2-acre parcel encompassing the area surrounding the former clubhouse building, a 1.46-acre parcel to be combined with the neighboring Antonucci Foods property at 274 S. Main St. and a 91-acre parcel running along the perimeter of the property.”
