It is 2 weeks before the April 7th meeng and I wanted to provide you with an update. There were a number of items that the Board requested clarificaon on as well as updates to show the 3 arrays on the property. I wanted to give you an update before we provide complete documents on Monday/Tuesday next week. 1. Site plan update – I have aached the Dra Plan from our PV Designer to show you dra that is very close to our final proposed design. a. We have reduced from 4 to 3 arrays and redesigned to single axis trackers. I have also included a revised PV Syst report to support the tracker design system outputs. This new design outputs about 10,000 MWh/yr. b. We have avoided the wetlands to decrease the overall project density and be more appealing to the board members. c. This will allow us to create larger subdivided parcels and potenally withdraw our lot coverage waiver request. I need the final civil first to insure accurate calculaons will be below 60%. We will show subdivision concept guidelines on that submission. d. We will have the Final PV Plan and CAD tonight to send to Civil. We expect Civil to turn the drawings around Monday/Tuesday. 1. Revised Decommissioning Plan a. Please see revised and aached O&M plan. I made a couple modificaons that keep the roads in place for future use. 2. Stamped Decommissioning Esmate a. I have provided a stamped decommissioning esmate (from our Angelica project) from Namaste Electrical Engineers. They are very reputable and are also the system PV designers for this project. Please let me know if you feel this will be acceptable. 3. We are sll working on the sample bond terminology and will also have that to you early next week. We will be providing a waiver request to provide bond in lieu of the LOC or Cash requirement as well. 4. Dispute Resoluon Plan requested by the Board. We have worked extensively on this and can not find another example anywhere that this has been required for a solar project. I understand that there was concern presented by the board related to previous wind projects and understand why this type of plan would be sensible for a wind project. However, I would like to inquire as to the praccal applicaon of this type of plan with regard to Solar Projects. Can you please let me know if any of the other Solar Projects approved in Enfield to date have had this requirement? If so, then please provide samples so that we may review them. If not, I would like to request that our O&M and Emergency Response plans be deemed an adequate response to this request. 5. I have also included the Confirmaon of Local Land use Approval forms in preparaon for the next meeng. We will require these in order to apply for our grants. It is becoming increasingly important that we get to this step a soon as possible. I would like to be able to schedule a meeng with you to discuss all of this and get final versions out to your board members next week. I want to be as prepared as possible to be able to achieve a favorable outcome at the next meeng. Another item that has come up that requires special aenon. We have a conflict with the April 7th date for the meeng and would like to request an alternate date in the 6th or 8th of that same week. There is a public hearing scheduled on another project that has in person meengs and I know we really need to be there too! Do you think that would be an opon to have a special meeng for us or move your scheduled meeng date? Thank you in advance for working through all of this with us. We feel that we have proposed some really great compromises to get to a place where everybody can feel good about the project and hope that the members of the 4/6/2021 Roundcube Webmail :: Norbut Solar Farms/NSF Torrey Site Plan application https://box5723.bluehost.com:2096/cpsess5419885727/3rdparty/roundcube/?_task=mail&_safe=0&_uid=1328&_mbox=INBOX&_action=print&_extwi…3/3 Best, Jonathan Stone Project Manager Office: 585-504-2200 Cell: 585-315-6126 Mail: 1241 University Avenue, Rochester, NY 14607 Email: pm@norbutsolarfarms.com Solar: www.norbutsolarfarms.com This Email & All Documentaon Aached Is Strictly Confidenal
