Review of I’roposed Code Amcndjnent re Hi^h Intensity Liclits in Shoreland Area. liad its firstGrathwol reported the proposed amendment reading the October Board meeting. Reese emphasized the problem i.s vdiere tlio lights are directed. Babcock suggested a wording that if the tilament is visible, the lighting is not legal. The executive director said the lights may come from buildings. The pi'oposed Ordinance was sent t«a (.h*' cities lor their comments. He suggested tiiis is an opportunity lor the cities to come up with a uniform lighting ordinance. That would attack the problem from the shore where the light is emanating. Reese favors the idea of involving the cities. Foster said he opposes this ordinance because it is not definitive enough. 1) The Ordinance for deicing requires lighting the entire area. 2) It does not address street lights 3) The lights at the Excelsior Conunons blinds anyone driving into the area. 4) It does not address non-lake sliore property. Foster mentioned the type of low-level lights Deeplutven has on its docks and the use of shielded street lights along their boat slides. , . . , Reese raised the question of why tins provision is being proposed for the multiple dock license ordinance when it addresses private docks. Babcock also mentioned having it in a separate ordinance. Grathwol responded that the LMCD attorney determined a provision in a separate ordinance would not be enforceable, except as it relates to regulating light on docks. Foster moved, Babcock seconded, to recommend the Bo.ard hold the second reading at the January meeting to give tlie cities an opportunity to respond. Motion carried. 0.
