The ordinance provided <br />for maximum lighting levels of one-foot can dle at the street a nd 0.4 when casting light <br />onto a residential property. Glar e could be an issue from fi xtures even if foot-candle <br />measurements were met. Because of proxim ity to residential uses the type of fixture <br />will be critical. The ordinance required th at light sources be hooded or controlled. The <br />fixture proposed was a decorative, round cutoff luminaries that has the option of a solid <br />dome or a glow dome. Staff believed all of the lights should include a solid dome. The <br />submitted plan did show a combination of do mes. No specific lighting type had been <br />provided for under the canopy.

There was <br />an existing drainage and utility easement to be vacated that was previously platted with <br />the Spirit Hills subdivision; this shall be co mpleted prior to issuance of a building permit. <br />Staff noted park dedication had not previously been satisfied on this parcel. As a result, <br />the proposed final plat would be subject to park dedication requirements. For <br />commercial development, a park dedi cation requirement of $2,175.00 per acre was <br />required. The plat included 3.75 acres, wh ich required a park dedication of $8,156.25 to <br />be paid prior to reco rding the final plat. <br />Staff stated the development was intended to be used for Retail and Service uses <br />consistent with the GB, General Business District. Three uses proposed on the plan <br />include a Day Care Facility, Motor Fuel Station (Convenience Store) and Bank with <br />Drive-Thru, which required a Conditional Us e Permit.
