Rule on Solar (and other energy saving) installations

Bo, your expertise in this area is admirable and inspiring! I think absolutely this project can and should include our brothers and sisters "out in the county" as well... maybe even the poor blokes beyond Summit Co.

Separately, the below excerpt may help illustrate the legislative cover a solar installation we would have in overriding restrictive CC&R's. One of our Utah barred JD's should probably double check this but the trajectory of this rule seems pretty clear....

10-9a-610. Restrictions for solar and other energy devices.
The land use authority may refuse to approve or renew any plat, subdivision plan, or dedication of any street or other ground, if deed restrictions, covenants, or similar binding agreements running with the land for the lots or parcels covered by the plat or subdivision prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting reasonably sited and designed solar collectors, clotheslines, or other energy devices based on renewable resources from being installed on buildings erected on lots or parcels covered by the plat or subdivision.
Renumbered and Amended by Chapter 254, 2005 General Session
