(6) Shoreline Lighting. Certain shoreline lighting may be exempt from the requirements of these sections in order to provide sufficient illumination to a berthing strncture, pier, or dock in the interest of public safety, such fixtures may be located anywhere on the property, including the principal strncture, provided it meets the requirements of this subsection. Said fixtures shall be configured in a way to prevent illumination more than 50 feet beyond the berthing structure, pier or dock. Illumination shall only be activated during those times when the berthing structure, pier, dock or watercraft is in use. (1997 Code,§ 1350.04) (Am. Ord. 97-17, passed 9-16-1997) Penalty, see§ 10.99 § 150.038 MINIMUM ST,-\.,.~DARDS. (A) },{inimum staruiards for lighting with fl total cutojfflngle ofgreflta than 90 degrees. ( 1) W11en a luminaire has a total cutoff of an angle greater than 90 degrees (see illustration below), the maximum illumination and the maximum permitted luminaire height is designated belovr. This standard is designed to ensure that no light is emitted above a horizontal plane parallel to the ground. In order to achieve a total cutoff at 90 degrees, the luminaire \Vill emit maximum (peak) candle power at an angle not exceeding 75 degrees. This angel is funned by the line at which maximum candlepov,rer is emitted for the light source and a line perpendicular to the ground from the light source. (2) Illumination may exceed the stated maximums for a radius of 20 feet measured from the center point of the light fo(ture, but shall not exceed those maximums beyond the exterior property line of the site upon 1.vhich the fixture is located.

(1) V/hen a luminaire has a total cutoff of light at an angle less than 90 degrees and is located so that the bare light bulb, lamp, or light source is completely shielded from the direct viev,r ofan observer 5 feet above the ground at the point where the cutoff angle intersects the ground, the maximum pennitted illumination and the mm(imum pennitted height is illustrated below. This type of light fo(ture may be taller and provide greater illumination at the property line than the 1 specified above, because the design of this fixture ensures that its light source 1uill not be directly visible off site. 3
