Subject: Ferrin Solar Project: Conditional Use Permit application

Dear Council Members:
I am writing in support of our neighbors Randy and Kathy Ferrin’s petition for a Conditional Use Permit for the installation of
a private solar array on their property. I have seen the site and the existing array, precisely adjacent to the proposed
additional panels, and it’s an ideal site. Screened from neighbors’ view (though I do not personally object to seeing solar
panels), it would supplement their current set-up and facilitate charging their electric car or, if they get another, cars. It of
course substantially reduces their carbon footprint —helping us all, really. They are doing the right thing.
This is a project, long planned, entirely for their personal use, and we support it without reservation.
Sincerely,
Dan and Mary Hooley
