Mr. Singeisen called the workshop meeting to order at 5:00 P.M.
Ms. Stevens reported from the Building Material Committee. She advised the board that Mr.
Then would be resigning from the Committee and Mr. Sylvester is out of town. Regarding front
yard lighting, the committee would like to have the edge of the slab for the light placed
somewhere between 24" to 30" from the sidewalk and try to keep them in line with each other.
The foundation for the slab would have to meet the code requirements and could not be placed
on the right -of -way. There have been several lights installed without the proper approvals so Mr.
Singeisen requested that Ms. Stevens provide a list of addresses so Code Enforcement could send
the proper notification. The guidelines placed on the lighting would address height, number of
globes and foot candles, color, setback measured from the sidewalk to the centerline of the post,
hardwiring, a limit of 1 per property (a variance would be required for an additional light), the
slab would be at the same grade as the sidewalk and sensor requirements for dusk to dawn
timeframe. The board could approve several light styles.
Ms. Stevens asked if the Jean Metts building was in the Historic District because it is in need of
maintenance. Mr. Singeisen advised her that it would be something Code Enforcement would
handle.
Workshop adjourned at 5:30 P.M.
