Whereas members of the community have been complaining about the lack of privacy related to scattered or excessive lighting on properties, including residential properties;
And recent lighting technology improvements related to the use of L.E.D.’s have contributed to lighting being much brighter and obtrusive;
And whereas security light fixtures create a condition where there is no control over when the lights are on or off;
And whereas Lakeshore current by-laws do not address this problem;
Now be it resolved that the issue of scattered or excessive lighting on properties be referred to administration to:
- Investigate regulatory options; and
- Assess what, if anything is being done in other communities; and
- What standards could be applied to address this issue.
