From KOAT-TV.com - ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Residents of a Valencia County neighborhood said they are upset about a proposed plan to install large solar panels near their homes. "They're about to put up solar panels that are going to be 50 feet up in the air," Leta Brewer said. Brewer, who lives off of San Fernando Avenue, said the panels will ruin the view from her home, as well as its resale value. A group of residents are filing an appeal. A number of residents who spoke to Action 7 News off camera say they had minimal warning of the project. Others say a map sent out by the county outlining where the panels will be was misleading. The planning commission approved a conditional use permit for the project Thursday night. Due to the appeal, though, it's likely county commissioners will ultimately get the final say at a January meeting. Read more
