I would still keep in mind the comments made by the Affordable Housing Trust members regarding lowering the height of the light poles in the parking lot that abuts Banister Lane to keep it more in scale with the neighborhood and to avoid light pollution into the affordable housing units themselves. I would also be sure to show the fencing extending all along Banister Lane in the SPR plans to address the comment from Mrs. Coverly. She was supportive of the project at the BOS meeting and Roberto and Steve have agreed to do this. I would also show the size and type of existing trees to remain in the buffer on the landscape plan. This will show that there are some larger size trees that will help to screen the second story windows from the neighbors on Banister Lane, which was another AHT comment.

Electric service for said posts or poles shall be placed underground and any outdoor lighting shall be directed on‐site only, with no undue glare affecting adjoining properties. For commercial or mixed use developments, trespass of light……….. My interpretation is that as proposed they are meeting the requirements of the bylaw.

They are proposing hook neck light fixtures that are 18’ from finished grade to the bottom of the light fixture, but the hook is 22.5’ off the ground. I am looking for your interpretation of Section 301.4.10 and whether this type of light pole fixture would meet the bylaw.
