Centerville 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />P ROTECTING S PECIAL R ESOURCES <br />for protection of special resources, including solar access, historic preservation, and aggregate. <br />These strategies are discussed below. <br />Solar Access <br />Minnesota Statutes require an element for the protection and development of access to direct <br />sunlight for solar energy systems. The purpose of this legislation is to prevent solar collectors <br />from being shaded by adjacent structures or vegetation and to ensure that development <br />decisions do not preclude the possible future development and use of solar energy systems. To <br />ensure the availability of solar access, the City of Centerville will, whenever possible, protect <br />access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems on principle structures. The City of Centerville <br />will consider solar access in the review of site plans and planning decisions. See Map 8-1 for <br />Gross Solar Potential in the community. <br />Aggregate Resources <br />Metropolitan Council requires that metropolitan area communities identify any regionally <br />significant aggregate resources to ensure proper planning for their use. Centerville does not <br />contain any regionally significant aggregate resources and therefore does not require any <br />special planning. <br />Historic Preservation <br />Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) was contacted to determine if there were any historic sites <br />or resources. The 106 Group also completed a survey of cultural resources for the County Road <br />14 reconstruction project. While both inquiries returned the same 39 properties that were in <br />d that none of these properties are eligible for listing on the <br />National Historic Register. <br /> <br /> Page 47 <br /> <br /> <br />
