H. Small solar systems limited to the lesser of 15 kilowatts (15 kw)
or 110% of the average of the three prior years’ electrical
energy consumption. Solar panels and solar arrays may be rooftop mounted
or ground mounted in the rear yard area only, at the applicant’s
discretion. Ground-mounted solar panel arrays shall be prohibited
from being located within the front yard area. In the event that an
applicant proposes to locate ground-mounted solar panel arrays in
the side yard area, application shall be made to the Zoning Officer
for the grant of a waiver. In order to receive such waiver, the applicant
shall demonstrate to the Zoning Officer that the location of the solar
panel arrays on the roof of the residence (or other structure on the
lot) or in the rear yard area is impracticable or will exact undue
hardship because of peculiar conditions pertaining to the land in
question. In the event that the Zoning Officer has doubt or difficulty
with making a determination as to the granting of such waiver or in
the event that the Zoning Officer denies such waiver, application
shall be made to the Land Use Board for the grant of such waiver,
which shall be treated as an exception pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-51.
All ground-mounted small solar systems will be located upon the lot
in closer proximity to the principal residence thereon than to any
neighboring homes or building envelopes on adjoining properties that
are unimproved. Ground-mounted solar arrays permitted by the Land
Use Board, upon proper application, to be located within the side
yard setback area shall be effectively screened from view from the
street and adjacent properties by evergreen plantings having a minimum
planted height of 48 inches and a maximum on-center planting spacing
of 10 feet to create a continuous visual buffer. After completion
of installation, the applicant shall provide written notice of the
existence of such small solar energy system to the emergency service
providers (Fredon Township Fire Department and Fredon Emergency Medical
Services) identifying the subject property by block and lot, street
address and a graphic plan or narrative identifying the location of
the electrical service disconnect for the solar energy system.

Use Board in connection with its review of the site plan. Consistent
with providing safe and adequate parking for those persons utilizing

so as to harmonize with the natural surroundings. Surfacing should
be limited to that which is necessary to provide stabilization and
which minimizes rainwater runoff, in accordance with the recommendations
of the Township Engineer.
