Madison’s Plan Commission spent about 2 1/2 hours gathering information and input from about 100 concerned citizens on a proposed 1,000 acre solar energy development for Madison’s hilltop before sending that proposal to city council with an “unfavorable recommendation” based on their own concerns and those of most of the people who packed City Hall last Thursday night.
At issue before the Plan Commission was a request by property owner Cedar Holdco LLC —whose owners are Tony and Lisa Hammock and Dean Ford — to rezone six parcels of their land totaling about 1,100 acres in the area of West Deputy Pike and West Chicken Run Road from Low Density Residential (R-4) and/or Residential Agriculture (RA) to Agriculture (AG). The property is located in the county but is within Madison’s 5-mile buffer in terms of zoning.
