Winston Solar PUD amendment

Opposed the amendment, citing missing NDOT encroachment permits, wildlife hazards to birds, and the broken 1,980-foot setback agreement.

Criticized the county for repeatedly changing ordinance standards and asked to be told plainly if North Mason Valley is becoming an industrial valley.

Said Chair Keller gave his word at prior hearings that 1,980 feet was final and urged the board not to go back on it.

Called the claim that power lines are less obtrusive than solar panels ridiculous and asked for easier public access to hearing documents.
