Three acres of new would be grown using light deprivation techniques, with two harvests per year; three acres would be grown full sun with one harvest per year. The project has been broken into phases. In Phase I, the applicant would cultivate 60,360 sf full-term outdoor. In Phase II the applicant would cultivate the full amount of 278,160 sf outdoor cultivation. In Phase III the applicant would complete the solar installation and complete all operational improvements. All new cultivation would occur on approximately 16% of the prime agricultural soils on the parcel. The project includes a Special Permit for restoration activities within the Streamside Management Area (SMA). The project includes the relocation of 16,800 sf of cultivation out of an SMA. In Phase I, irrigation demand would be approximately 658,658 gallons per year. In Phase II & III, irrigation demand would be approximately 3,090,326 gallons per year. Water would be provided by an onsite well and one 1,000,000-gallon rainwater catchment tank. The project includes 8,000 sf of ancillary nursery space. Processing would occur onsite in a proposed 7,200 sf multi-use building, occupying the footprint of a burned down, pre-existing barn. Power would be provided principally by a generator for Phase I and Phase II. By Phase III, a solar array would provide the power, with generators retained for backup use only. Phase I of the project would require approximately six employees. Phase II & III would require a maximum of twenty-five employees.
