05.a ADDITION Barr DSES CUP - Updated Narrative and Landscaping Plan BARR 1 SOLAR PROJECT – CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT SUMMARY 5 MW AC COMMUNITY SOLAR GARDEN Prepared for: City of Scandia, MN – City Council 14727 209th St. N. Scandia, MN 55073 Applicant Details: Applicant: MN CSG 2019-69 LLC Applicant Address: 2530 Riva Road, Annapolis, MD 21401 Applicant Parent Company: New Energy Equity, LLC Agreement Type: Land Lease located on Private Land Permitting Point of Contact: Jesse Dimond Phone Number / Email: 651-333-0541 jessed@newenergyequity.com Real Property Owner(s): Dean Barr Trust Parcel ID(s) (PID): 20-032-20-24-0002 PROJECT DESCRIPTION MN CSG 2019-69 LLC, a subsidiary of New Energy Equity, LLC, (“Applicant”) has prepared this Project Summary for the proposed development, installation, and operation of a 5 MW AC community solar photovoltaic facility, including the proposed construction and operation of a permanent access road, interconnection poles and line along Mayberry Tail North. within the jurisdiction of the City of Scandia, MN, known as PID: 20-032-20-24-0002 (the “Solar Facility”) for the purpose of obtaining a Conditional Use Permit from the City of Scandia City Council. The completed and signed application is attached as exhibit 1. The project (also known as the Barr 1 project) will be constructed in the existing field along Mayberry Tail North with existing trees to remain in the south to be used as screening. The project will be a 5 MW AC Community Solar Garden and the total area for permitting will be 38.36 acres out of a total of 72.4 total parcel acres. This includes approximately 25.94 acres of fenced project area. The project will be configured as a solar tracking array and will include approximately 11,960 solar modules. The parcel is managed by the Dean Barr Trust, with Justin Barr as a beneficiary and as their main point of contact, who has entered into a land lease and solar easement, which is attached as Exhibit 2. The project is anticipated to employ approximately 15 individuals, including a foreman, construction staff, Page 2 of 10 delivery drivers, and various other roles. The facility will operate from 7 AM to 7 PM, with any potentially disruptive work scheduled and normal employee hours of operation between 8 AM and 5 PM. This excludes emergency and on-call staff, which may be available outside these hours. This thoughtful approach aims to minimize any impact on the community while allowing for non-disruptive activities, such as deliveries, to occur before the main work begins. The site was selected due to its physical characteristics, proximity to existing electrical infrastructure and distribution lines, zoning and permitting requirements, and landowner participation. The Solar Facility’s final design will follow all regulatory, technical, and environmental guidance, requests, rules and requirements of the Utility, Town, City, County, Involved Agencies, as well as following National Electrical Safety Code, the U.S. Department of Labor and Occupational Safety and Health Standards for the safety and protection of landowners, general public, and property. Per the City of Scandia Code, this project will be classified as a Solar Energy System – Distribution Scale (Distribution SES) under Chapter 153 – Unified Development Code. It does not exceed five megawatts (5MW AC) and will be a Community Solar Energy Facility. Code References with Permit Application references and acknowledgements. I. Districts and Size Limits a.
