The lighting is <br /> excessively bright and is directed off of the property. This type of fi�ure violates City Code section 78- <br /> 1573 (below). Further, the lighting appears to be a nuisance to neighboring property owners. <br /> � City Code Section 78-1573 states: <br /> ' "Any use requiring an operation producing an intense heat or light transmission shall be performed with <br /> the necessary shielding to prevent such heat or light from being detectable at the lot line of the site on <br /> ' which the use is located. Lighting in all instances shall be diffused or directed away from R districts and <br /> public streets". <br /> This letter will serve as your notice that the lighting on the property must be brought into <br /> conformance with City Code Section 78-1573 on or before December 13, 2010 in order to avoid <br /> legal action by the City. In order to comply with Section 78-1573 new fixtures must be installed or the <br /> existing exterior light fixtures on your property must be modified to direct the light downward, and to <br /> shield the light source so as not to be detected from the property line. Please send photos to me on or <br /> before December 13th illustrating compliance with City Code. <br /> I have attached an information sheet from the International Dark Sky Association (IDSA) regarding <br /> types of acceptable fixtures. A link to acceptable lighting fixtures can be found by accessing IDSA's <br /> website at www.darkskv.orq. <br /> Please be advised, if you fail to correct the violations this matter will be sent to the City Attorney for <br /> consideration of legal action. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at <br /> mcurtis(c�ci.orono.mn.us or 952.249.4625. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> City of Oron � <br /> Melanie Curtis <br /> Planning & Zoning Coordinator <br /> Attachments Telephone(952)249-4600 • Fax(952)249-4616 <br /> www.ci.orono.mn.us <br />
