JUNEAU — On Monday, the Dodge County Land Resources and Park Committee was in unanimous support of denying a conditional use permit for a solar farm in Ashippun.
The committee discussed concerns and aspects of the proposed 5-megawatt facility on 25 acres near the intersection of Evergreen Road and Lincoln Road.
SunVest Solar LLC was seeking permission to operate the 5-megawatt solar facilities including solar modules, inverters, steel racking, fencing, and a weather station. The plans submitted to the county also include an outline of how it could eventually be removed and restored to agricultural land.
Concerns from area residents have included that it would negatively affect area properties’ values, increased heat radiating from the solar farm and runoff.
