Town of Wheatfield Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes Of Meeting
The Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing regarding a variance request for a five-megawatt Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). The discussion involved safety concerns, including thermal runaway, fire propagation, training requirements for local volunteer fire departments, and the impact on neighboring residential areas and the nearby Airbase. The applicant withdrew the setback portion of the variance request. Ultimately, the Board voted to deny the variance request for the five-megawatt system, citing self-created hardship, the substantial nature of the request, and potential adverse impacts on the neighborhood and public safety.
