ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING JANUARY 25, 2006 <br /> <br />secure feeling in an urban environment. The lighting in the residential areas will be more <br />spaced out as in typical residential subdivisions. Mr. Tallion also noted that the existing <br />light fixtures at City Hall would be replaced with the new street lights. <br /> <br />The receptacles will be at the tree base to put in twinkle lights options with grates. <br />Receptacles will be located near the opening in the grate with bricks on top. There will <br />be one brick missing for the lights. Receptacles are short, about 1 foot high with lockable <br />covers. Receptacles will come on at a certain time and go off at certain time. Whereas <br />the pole lights are on all night. There will be tree up lights in a few areas by the entrance. <br />This will minimize lighting by using wider distribution so the majority of light will be <br />blocked. We want to provide a glow. Initially there will be a little more lighting, say 70 <br />watt fixtures. We have thousands of options we can use for fixtures. Around the park <br />area will be additional fixture receptacles for events. Machines will be able to be hooked <br />up such as ice cream or pop corn machines from a 120 volt and up to 240 volt possibility. <br />There will also be smaller receptacles for smaller events. <br /> <br />Additionally there will be some not so attractive cabinets planted on the outside of the <br />development for electrical. The will either be painted or left at their natural state. They <br />will not rust. <br /> <br />Mary Jo O’Dea asked if they will blend in to landscaping. Ken Tallion said that they <br />could. There are ways of making the cabinets less inclusive. <br /> <br />The lighting plan did not include large parking lot area. The Developer is handling this. <br />Mary Jo O’Dea asked if the parking lot lightin was different than the lighting discussed <br />here. Mike Grochala noted that they are basic shoe box, non-decorative cabinets. <br /> <br />Ken Tallion noted that that we are getting more efficient fixtures than others available. <br /> <br />Teresa O’Connell asked if the flood light fixtures shining into trees can have a green shad <br />until the trees mature. Reason being is that it has less of a glare affect going into the sky. <br />Less night pollution. Ken Tallion said no, the lights have to stay because of the type of <br />fixture. <br /> <br />Connie Grundhofer asked about the residential light poles being 20 feet tall and do they <br />have a downward focus. Ken Tallion said yes they have a cut off style. Mike Grochala <br />noted that the bulb sits in a saggy lense. He also noted that the tub is just above the outer <br />edge. Ken Tallion said that it does not let light go out, it spreads it out along the ground. <br />These are called cut off fixtures. If you compare cut off fixtures to non cut off fixtures, <br />cut off fixtures are more efficient and give more reflected up light than generated from <br />non cut off fixtures. Ken said that it looks nicer without the glare in your eyes. It <br />enhances the entire experience not to be blinded. They are nice and comfortable. <br /> <br />Mike Grochala noted that Ken Tallion has been very helpful to the city with any <br />complications we have had regarding electrical and lighting. We anticipate using Ken <br />Tallion’s expertise to address lighting city wide. <br />5 APPROVED MINUTES
