Dear Mayor and Council
We support the Environmental Stewardship Board’s resolution to extend the existing Council Energy Policy for rezonings to include the installation of rooftop solar energy systems.
“The Environmental Stewardship Advisory Board asks the Town Council to require all new building construction and renovations in Chapel Hill which require a rezoning with a Special Use Permit to install roof-mounted solar energy systems over at least 80% of eligible roof areas, with certain stipulations.”
We must pick up the pace for local actions that will slow the coming global warming crisis. NYC today announced fines on non-energy efficient buildings. We would like to see Chapel Hill at the vanguard of energy efficiency efforts.
Thank you Mayor and Council members for considering this proposal. It’s time to move forward with local action.
Sincerely,
Richard (Pete) Andrews
