FDR Power Substation Expansion
Description
Duke Energy wants to expand its 1988-era substation: setbacks from 100 to 50 feet and four 70-foot lightning masts in a district capped at 50 feet. Staff concurs with approval.
Impact summary
Townhome neighbors keep ~100 feet of effective separation thanks to fencing and buffers, but gain taller equipment nearby; service reliability improves for the fast-growing northeast.
