RE: Yellow Barn Solar Project (ORES Matter No. Pending), Town of Groton and Lansing, Tompkins
County, New York Official Request for Stakeholder Input on Representative Viewpoints
Dear Municipal Planning, State Agency, or Party List Representative:
As you may be aware, CS Energy (the Applicant) is proposing to construct and operate the Yellow Barn Solar
Project (the Project), a 160-megawatt (MW) alternating current (AC) solar energy generation facility in the
Towns of Groton and Lansing, Tompkins County, New York (hereafter referred to as the Facility; see
Attachment A, Figure 1). The proposed Facility is subject to review under Chapter XVIII, Title 19 of New York
Codes, Rules, and Regulations (NYCRR) Part 900, §900-2.9 and Section 94-c of the New York State Executive
Law (hereafter referred to as Section 94-c). In accordance with Section 94-c regulations, Exhibit 8, Visual
Impacts, “the applicant shall confer with municipal planning representatives, the Office, and where
appropriate, OPRHP and/or APA in its selection of important or representative viewpoints.”
Pursuant to Section 94-c requirements, Environmental Design and Research, Landscape Architecture,
Engineering and Environmental Services, DPC (EDR) is reaching out to representatives from state agencies
and each jurisdiction in the Visual Study Area on behalf of the Applicant to request your assistance in
identifying visually sensitive resources, existing and proposed sensitive land-uses, and potential
photosimulation locations in the vicinity of the proposed Facility (see Attachment B for a list of all
representatives included in this correspondence). This information will help inform the content of a Visual
Impact Assessment (VIA) that is being prepared to assess the potential visual effects resulting from the
Facility. The information presented in this letter and its attachments are intended to provide you with
enough context and information to assist in the identification of visually sensitive resources and candidate
photosimulation locations.
Definitions of Specific Terms and Acronyms Used in this Letter
Visual Impact Assessment (VIA) is a study evaluating the potential visibility, appearance, and visual impact
associated with a proposed project.
Visual Study Area (VSA) is defined as the area within a 2-mile radius of Facility components in accordance
with 94-c regulations. The VSA boundary for the Facility is shown on Attachment A, Figure 1.
Distance Zones are defined in visual studies to divide the visual study area into distinct sub-areas based
on the various levels of landscape detail available to the viewers based on their distance from visibile Facility
Yellow Barn Solar Project

components. EDR has defined three preliminary distance zones within the visual study area: Near
Foreground (0-0.25-mile), Foreground (0.25 – 0.5 mile), and Near Middle Ground (0.5 – 2 miles). Mapped
locations of the distance zones are shown in Attachment A, Figure 1.
Landscape Similarity Zones (LSZs) are subsets of the visual study area that are defined based on the
similarity of various landscape characteristics including topography, vegetation, water, and land use
patterns, in accordance with established visual assessment methods. EDR has defined three preliminary LSZs
within the visual study area: forest, rural residential/agricultural, and suburban/residential. Mapped
locations of the LSZs are shown in Attachment A, Figure 3, and a brief description of each LSZ is provided
below.
Photosimulations use existing photographs along with advanced 3D modeling and imaging to accurately
illustrate how the proposed Facility would appear upon completion.
Visually Sensitive Resources (VSRs) are publicly accessible locations or historic resources that may be
considered sensitive to changes in the visual environment, potentially affecting the public enjoyment of the
resource. Mapped locations of known VSRs within the visual study area are shown in Attachment A, Figure
2 and a table with additional information for each known VSR can be found in Attachment C.
Visually Sensitive Resources
Visually Sensitive Resources (VSRs) were identified within the 2-mile VSA in accordance with guidance
provided by New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) Program Policy DEP-00-
2 Assessing and Mitigating Visual Impacts (NYSDEC, 2019) and the requirements of Section 94-c. In addition,
EDR identified other resources that could be considered visually sensitive based on the type or intensity of
use they receive. The category of VSRs identified for this VIA include the following:
• Properties of Historic Significance (National/State Historic Landmarks, National/State Historic Sites,
Properties Listed on the National or State Register of Historic Places, Properties Eligible for listing on
the National or State Register of Historic Places)
• Designated Scenic Resources (Rivers Designated as National or State Wild, Scenic or Recreational,
Adirondack Park Scenic Vistas, Sites, Areas, Lakes, Reservoirs or Highways Designated or Eligible for
Designation as Scenic, Scenic Areas of Statewide Significance, Other Designated Scenic Resources
(Easements, Roads, Districts, and Overlooks).
• Public Lands and Recreational Resources (National Parks, Recreation Areas, Seashores, and Forests,
National Natural Landmarks, National Wildlife Refugees, Heritage Areas, State Parks, State Nature
and Historic Preserve Areas, State Forest Preserve, Other State Lands; Wildlife Management Areas and
Game Refugees, State Forests, State Fishing/Waterway Access Sites, Trails; State and Federal Trails,
Snowmobile/ATV Trails, Bike Trails/Routes Palisades Park, Local Parks and Recreational Areas,
Publicly Accessible Conservation Lands/Easements, Rivers and Streams with Public Fishing Rights
Easements, Named Lakes, Ponds and Reservoirs)
• High-Use Public Areas (US, State and Interstate Highways, Schools, Cities, Villages, Hamlets)
Yellow Barn Solar Project
June 5, 2023
Page 3
• Native American Lands
• Resources Identified through Visual Outreach
Please note that the architectural survey that identifies properties eligible for listing in the National or State
Register of Historic Places is ongoing. Therefore, these resources have not been identified at this time. Once
the architectural survey is completed, any resources identified as eligible for listing on the National or State
Register of Historic Places will be added to the VSR inventory.
Attachment A, Figure 2 illustrates the location of each identified resource and Attachment C provides
information about each resource, including its name, distance zone, and the potential visibility of the PV
panels based on a preliminary viewshed analysis.
Landscape Similarity Zones
Three discrete LSZs within the VSA were identified based on the similarity of various landscape
characteristics (including topography, vegetation, water, and land use). The LSZs are illustrated in
Attachment A Figure 3 and a brief description of each LSZ is provided below. The LSZs will be described in
greater detail in the VIA.
• Forest LSZ consists of large areas dominated by contiguous stands of mature trees. Outward views
that occur in this LSZ typically offer a narrow field of view, tightly framed by trees. Open views that
are available from elevated vantage points may offer more long-range views across broad valleys
to adjacent hillsides, particularly during leaf off conditions.
• Agricultual/Rural Residential consists of a mix of open agricultural land and successional fields,
woodlots and widely spaced farms, and low-density, large lot residential development along
roadways. Outward views from this LSZ will vary depending upon adjacent land uses. Open, outward
views are more available when adjacent to large areas of farmland, and more tightly framed or
short-range views will occur when adjacent to wood lots and residential areas.
• Suburban/Residential consists of higher density, small-lot communities of mdern residences that
are organized around local roadways that generally branch off State Route 34 and 34A. In addition,
small-scale, community oriented commercial and muncipial facilities occur along State Route Route
34. Open outward views are limited due to screening provided by the residential structures, and
yard or roadside vegetation. However, outward views are occassionally available when adjacent to
farmland and down street corridors.
Field Review
EDR personnel conducted field review within the VSA on April 13, 2023 to observe the character of the
existing landscape, obtain photographs for locations with potential Facility visibility, and identify locations
that would be suitable for the development of photosimulations. Field review resulted in documentation of
45 representative viewpoints. Photographs for each viewpoint, including a panorama composition
illustrating the overall view and a single-frame photograph illustrating the most open and unobstructed
Yellow Barn Solar Project

view available towards the Facility Site, is included within Attachment D (Viewpoint Photolog). The viewpoint
locations are illustrated in Attachment A, Figure 1.
Feedback Requests
Visually Sensitive Resources
EDR and the Applicant are formally requesting feedback from you to identify additional VSRs.
Please review the mapped locations of VSRs identified to date in Attachment A, Figure 2 and listed in
Attachment C. The Applicant believes the list of the VSRs included herein represents a substantially
complete inventory of the significant VSRs within the VSA. Please let us know whether there are any
additional sites/locations that are visually sensitive and that you believe should be added to the inventory.
If so, please provide the name, location, and a brief description of the resources (not already identified in
Attachment C) that you feel should be included in the inventory and subsequently evaluated for potential
visual impacts in the VIA.
Proposed Land Use
EDR and the Applicant are requesting feedback from you in the identification of any proposed land
uses that may be sensitive to visual impact.
Pursuant to Section 94-c requirements, “proposed land uses” are required to be considered as part of the
viewpoint selection process. Publicly available zoning codes, comprehensive plans, and local laws for each
town within the VSA will be reviewed to identify current and future land uses within the VSA. However, the
Applicant anticipates instances in which a municipality is in process of completing updates to existing
zoning codes, comprehensive plans, or local laws. In addition, it is recognized that projects/developments
may be pending or currently under review by town boards, planning boards, or the zoning board of appeals.
The Applicant requests any information outlining amendments to local codes or laws and/or information
regarding proposed projects and/or land uses that should be considered in the VIA.
Photosimulation Locations
EDR and the Applicant are requesting feedback from you in the selection of viewpoints for the
production of photosimulations.
As mentioned previously, a full viewpoint photolog including a representative photograph from each of the
visited sites can be found in Attachment D, and viewpoint locations are illustrated in Attachment A, Figure
1. The Applicant anticipates preparing representative photosimulations to illustrate the appearance of the
proposed Facility from various distances within a range of visual settings. Currently, the Applicant is
considering the following nine viewpoints for the production of photosimulations:
