I usually don’t write letters
to the editor, but this week I feel that I have to respond to a couple letters from Nov. 14. First of all, to Mr. Miller’s letter regarding the lighting ordinance.
Most people are not misinformed about what the ordinance means. What was before the Planning Commission was for commercial, as well as residential. There is a statement in the proposal that says, “The maximum height for residential lighting shall be 20 feet, height is measured from the ground surface to the bottom of the lighting fixture."
Nowhere in this proposal does it say that single-family homes or agricultural facilities are exempt. It does state however, that a convenience store or gasoline station must turn off all outdoor lighting fixtures, or be reduced to the minimum level. I don’t know about you but I like the fact that the lights are on at Hackley’s and Mayhugh’s and I’m sure the employees that have to come in before dawn do as well. I wouldn’t want to walk in to find someone in the store robbing it, because it was so dark no one could see them break in.
