Moultrie County Board opened the August 11 meeting with planning and zoning recommendations ranging from boundary expansion for Mast Construction to an ordinance regulating solar farms.

In June fire destroyed Mast Construction northeast of Sullivan, leaving the manufacturer of prefabricated walls for homes in burned rubble.

Chester Mast is in the processing of rebuilding and expanding the business, seeking to rezone his property to I-1 plus asking for variances to build 20 feet from all zoning boundary lines. His requests were approved unanimously by the board.

Planning and zoning chairman Todd Maxedon recommended passage of the ordinance amending the Moultrie County zoning ordinance on solar farms.

Under the special use section that already contains provisions for wind farms, solar farm regulations are now included.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
