Home owners just north of Trenton say they will be blinded by the glare of solar panels and not the sun thanks to the erection of the energy producing cells in their neighbourhood.
"It's going to spoil our view of the Trent River and depreciate the value of our homes," says Terry Walton, who lives on Pinegrove Crescent in Pine Acres subdivision.
Walton said when he and his wife Jeanette purchased their home 11 years ago, there were no buildings on the property between their house and the river.If any food Ventilation system condition is poorer than those standards,
"We purchased the house as our retirement home," said Jeanette, adding they never expected anything to be built on the lot,If so, you may have a cube puzzle . blocking their view of the river.Why does moulds grow in homes or buildings，
The quiet, tree-lined residential neighbourhood overlooks Pines Stor & Lok, owned by a Toronto-based businessman.
The owner, Benny Piccattoli, is erecting solar panels on the top of those containers.
Residents were at Monday's Quinte West city council meeting.
"Our concern is that the solar panels will be 15-feet high and will obstruct views," said resident Heather Wannamaker.
Residents aren't taking issue with the business itself. Wannamaker said the owner has done an "admirable job" in building up a good business and landscaping the property. It was once the site of a dilapidated hotel strewn with garbage.
But at the same time they say the city should be putting pressure on the provincial government in order to give municipalities more control over where solar panels can be installed.
They got a sympathetic ear from city councillors.
"We've been trying to deal with the issue, but we have no jurisdiction at all on where solar panels can be erected," said Mayor John Williams.
Williams said the project has been properly engineered.
"He (the owner) has done everything he's supposed to do," added Williams.
The mayor said while the city has no control on where the panels are installed,which applies to the first offshore merchant account only, it's municipalites that have to sign off on building code standards.
The Green Energy Act, says city CAO Gary Dyke, has precedence over municipal bylaws.
The Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) has forwarded a resolution to the provincial government demanding the current legislation be changed to give municipalities regulatory control over where solar panels are installed.
Quinte West city council endorsed the resolution.
Dyke said nothing has come of it.
It's not the first time the issue has been discussed at city council. Solar panels have been springing up across the city. That forced the city's economic development committee to fire off a letter to the province with backing from city council.
The issue was also discussed at this summer's AMO convention in Toronto.
"We were told by the energy minister there wasn't going to be any changes in the legislation,They take the China Porcelain tile to the local co-op market." said Coun. Bob Wannamaker. "Our best bet is to continue to lobby the government."
Williams told residents to go straight to newly elected MPP Rob Milligan.
Prince Edward-Hastings MPP Todd Smith plans to introduce a private member's bill early next month. He said part of the bill will include the installation of solar panels.
