They city says the 250W area with the painted side doesn't comply with that code, so at this <br /> point its looking like the 100W area is the only real option. <br /> From: f.puzak@comcast.net [mailto:f.puzak@comcast.net] <br /> Sent: Monday, May 20, 2013 1:19 PM <br /> To: Erickson, Damon G <br /> Subject: Re: 1340 Baldur Park Rd, Orono - Lighting <br /> It would be necessary to qualify the validity of the complaint before any action is taken. <br /> From: "Damon G Erickson" <Damon.G.Erickson@xcelenergy.com> <br /> To: 'f.puzak@comcast.net" <f.puzak@comcast.net> <br /> Sent: Monday, May 20, 2013 1:30:41 PM <br /> Subject: FW: 1340 Baldur Park Rd, Orono - Lighting <br /> Here is the latest I received from the city. <br /> From: Melanie Curtis [mailto:MCurtis@ci.orono.mn.us] <br /> Sent: Friday, May 17, 2013 2:47 PM <br /> To: Erickson, Damon G <br /> Cc: Christine Mattson <br /> Subject: 1340 Baldur Park Rd, Orono - Lighting <br /> Damon <br /> We spoke in or about January about a street light installed by Xcel at the request of Fred Puzak at 1340 Baldur Park Rd in <br /> Orono. The initial fixture was exchanged for a different, more shielded fixture and repositioned away from the <br /> neighboring homes. <br /> We have received a complaint from a resident across the bay who expressed concern regarding the brightness of this <br /> light. I know we did not anticipate that the relocated fixture would impact any additional residences; however it appears <br /> now that it does. I hope we can, again, work with you to resolve this matter so that there are no further complaints. <br /> You may remember our Code that states: <br /> City Code Section 78-1573: <br /> "Any use requiring an operation producing an intense heat or light transmission shall be performed with the <br /> necessary shielding to prevent such heat or light from being detectable at the lot line of the site on which the <br /> use is located. Lighting in all instances shall be diffused or directed away from R districts and public streets". <br /> Please contact me to discuss at your convenience. <br /> Thank you — Melanie <br /> Melanie Curtis <br /> Planning &Zoning Coordinator <br /> City of Orono <br /> 2750 Kelley Parkway <br /> Orono, MN 55356 <br /> Direct Dial: 952.249.4627 <br /> 4 <br />
