(Motion passed 4-1:Armstrong) <br />B. City Code Amendment — Exterior Lighting Ordinance <br />Planner Dillerud reported the Council directed an amendment to the existing Section <br />1350 that would acknowledge lighting "hot spots" (illumination of excess of 1 or 3 <br />candle powers). The Draft ordinance provided amends Section 1350 in two locations to <br />allow "hot spots" in an illumination plan, but only within a 20 foot radius of the light <br />fixture and within the property lines of the site. Dillerud explained the impact of this <br />ordinance amendment will be to maintain 1 or 3 candle power maximum illumination <br />over the vast majority of a commercial site, but permit areas right under the light fixtures <br />to exceed the 1 or 3 candle power. The alternative would be to see a significant increase <br />in the number of light fixtures on each site. <br />M/S/P DeLapp/Siedow — to adopt Ordinance 97-104, An Ordinance amending Section <br />1350.05 Subdivision 1 and Section 1350.05 Subdivision 2 of the Lake Elmo Municipal <br />Code relating to illumination.
