r <br />MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />MONDAY, MAY 17, 2004 <br />6:00 o’clock p.m. <br />Gaf&on clarified that the office area in the Stonebay Development does use box-type lighting. He brought up <br />the matter for discussion of whether to match commercial lighting with the residential area, or to match with <br />what is along the street or the site interior. <br />Chair Mabusth asked for information on the approved lighting for Kelley Parkway. <br />Gaffron described it a somewhat screened but more visible and decorative. <br />Ms. Van Dell clarified the lighting is spaced every 15' which is more residential and uses smaller scale, <br />residential-type fixtures. <br />Mr. Trautz added that commercial lighting needs are different from residential and require more light intensity <br />for safety. Because they want a higher light level in the commercial area, they proposed the box-type lighting <br />as installed on the medical building. <br />Leslie agreed with Mr. Trautz' comments, explaining his office is in a situation where lack of lighting create <br />employee concerns. <br />Jurgens asked if box-type lighting is proposed for the office buildings and suggested differe.nces in lighting <br />Styles might be desirable. <br />Bremer commented that with Walgreens being open 24 hrs/day there is a need for more light and perhaps <br />different styles of lighting could be proposed, one for the residential side and one for the commercial. <br />Kempf stated that function comes first and the box-type lighting is the most appropriate type throughout the <br />parking areas. However, he asked the applicant if they could tie in the lighting style from the residential area <br />along Kelley Parkway and possibly around the edge of the parking area. Kempf further commented u is not <br />necessary for the office area to be similar to the retail area, as the office area is with the City Hall area. <br />Ms. Van Dell observed that upon icview of the lighting plan that once building lights are shown on the ren- of <br />the buildings and actually show the locations of the Kelley Parkway fixtures, rear lights may not be needed at <br />all. She advised they would review this again. <br />Chair Mabusth asked the applicant if it docs not work, did they have a problem with using a more <br />complementary, residential-type light fixture on die north side of the property. <br />Page 15 of 53 <br />■i
