Beardsley Graham, member of the Urban Area Planning
Commission spoke in favor of the proposed ordinances.
He stated that this energy source is 'zero pollution,
and gave some statistics to relating to nuclear and
fossil fuels. He felt that protection of solar use
was very important as would b'e provided by this~ordin
ance.
Henry Marcus, Land Use Specialist from the Oregon
Department of Energy submitted two letters to the
Commission from their Director, Lynn Frank in which
they recommend that the County.update'their plan to
address solar access and recommend approval of the
solar access ordinances. He stated that this ordin-
ance is already being used as a model for the rest of
the state. He stated that the Pacific Northwest Regional
Power Council is about to adopt their regional power
plan in which they encourage local entities to adopt
ordinances such as these. Regarding the pragmatic
impacts of the ordinance, he stated that there is now
a computer program which makes it easy to determine
the appropriate setbacks. With regard to the record-
ation process, he had brought with him the equipment
necessary to take a sun-chart photograph which could
be attached to the application. With regard to sub-
division design, the experience has been that the
first time a designer does a solar subdivision it
does take some extra time, but on subsequent designs
it is more easily integrated with the process. He
stated that their department recommends approval of
the ordinance.
Sid McGill, a member of the Solar Access Committee,
stated that he is the owner of a solar home which won
an award from the Planning Commission. He stated
that the solar gain has been very cost effective, but
without the protection of this ordinance, they may
lose their investment.

the hearing. Mr. Andersen stated that the ordinances
would be ready for reading by April 13. Mr. Isham
noted that these ordinances have been sent to LCDC
