YOUNG TWP. — The Young Township supervisors had a lot on their plate at this week’s meeting, as they discussed the solar farm projects and the search for a new township secretary.
James Bickerstaff, supervisors chair, spoke first about the solar farm projects.
“In reference to solar farm projects coming to this township, we as township supervisors cannot prevent that,” Bickerstaff said, adding that they have a duty to remain unbiased and vote based on evidence that falls within the parameters of the law and other township ordinances.
Bickerstaff said they’ve previously established a solar farm ordinance and will continue to modify it through amendments as they deem necessary.
“I currently am reading established case law and looking at all aspects to help ease the concerns of all residents, while not impeding the land rights of other residents which case law states,” he said.
Bickerstaff said they believe firmly that American land owner possesses a legal right to free use and enjoyment of his/her property unless the government can establish that such use violates a clearly defined zoning ordinance that was created to protect others in the community from land uses that are deemed harmful to the community.
