Carroll County Regional Planning Commission Carrollton, Ohio February 14, 2023 Desmond Quill, Permitting Lead, Northfold Energy Partners, LLC, Columbus, Ohio Re: Zoning verification, Tamsin Ridge Solar and Storage Project, Harrison Township (county parcels 21-00418.000 to 21-00960.000) Dear Mr. Quill: In response to your request of January 30, 2023, the Regional Planning Commission confirms the following for the parcels listed in your request: 1. Zoning. Carroll County has not adopted a county zoning resolution. Harrison Township has not adopted a township zoning resolution under ORC Chapter 519. No local zoning permit, conditional use permit, variance or site plan approval is therefore required for the proposed facility, and no local setback, height or screening standard applies to it. 2. Power Siting Board facilities. We understand the facility is an electric generating plant of more than 50 megawatts that will need a certificate from the Ohio Power Siting Board. Under ORC 4906.13, once a certificate is issued, no political subdivision may require any approval, consent, permit or other condition for its construction or operation. Quote starts. We note that ORC 303.57 to 303.62 give the Board of County Commissioners separate powers over large solar facilities, which are outside the scope of this letter. Quote ends. 3. Subdivision. The county subdivision regulations apply to dividing a parcel into lots any one of which is under five acres. Conveying the switching station site (about 4 acres) to the transmission owner would need approval as a no-plat minor subdivision, which staff decide within seven working days, unless the Power Siting Board certificate is found to cover it. 4. Floodplain. The county's floodplain regulations are administered by the Floodplain Administrator. They exempt major utility facilities permitted by the Power Siting Board. 5. Roads. Driveway and right-of-way permits for county roads are issued through the County Engineer. This letter reflects the county's records on the date above. It is not a determination of the facility's compliance with state law. Sincerely, (signed) Director, Carroll County Regional Planning Commission Carroll County Regional Planning Commission Page 1 of 1
