Developer proposes sheep grazing, pollinator habitat as part of Adrena Solar site plan

The project's developer told the zoning board the site is planned for agrivoltaics and will support sheep grazing and pollinator‑friendly plantings. "...it will be used for sheep grazing. We know that agriculture is important to the county and important to the neighborhood," Abby Witlowitzky said, framing the practice as a way to maintain agricultural use and benefit pollinators.

Project materials described use of mixed pollinator‑friendly habitat and prairie grasses alongside an agricultural‑style fence. Kopinski said the developer has signed an agricultural impact mitigation agreement and will provide pre‑funded decommissioning assurance to restore the site when needed. The board noted these elements favorably in their deliberations but treated them as operational commitments rather than independent land‑use approvals.
