• • • AGENDA ITEM VI. A STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser P & Z MEETING DATE: November 14, 2001 TOPIC: Discussion Item: Lighting At Shirley Kaye's You may recall the review of the proposal to expand Shirley Kaye's on Lake Drive. The building additions and parking lot improvements are complete. Since the re- opening, the Police Dept. has noted that the parking lot is very dark. There was no exterior lighting proposed except fixtures on the building. I recall a brief discussion at one of the meetings about lighting. There was concern about bright lights on the lake. Since there were only the building fixtures, it was not a problem. During construction, a contractor called to ask what kind of lights would be allowed in the parking lot. Since no lighting was proposed or reviewed, and there was concern about lights on the lake, staff said there is to be no lighting in the lot. The question of safety arises from the dark parking lot. The Environmental Board discussed this and recommends that if lighting is added, the City ensure it shines down and doesn't bleed onto neighboring properties or the lake. Staff would like to discuss lighting with the owners of Shirley Kaye's without the need for a full site plan review. If the P & Z and City Council have no objection, we will proceed with this.
