LIGHTING DISCUSSIONS:
Chair Pagano advised that the Board received lighting cut sheets. Chair Pagano asked about the low lanterns and if there were more than 6 columns.
Mr. Contelmo advised there was 6 lights mounted only on the 2 new columns that support the new roof and they are front and back which makes it 4 of them; and on the building opposite those 2 new columns they are on a pilaster that mounts to the building which is on sheet A2, Section A.
Chair Pagano asked if the 2 lights in the lanterns, if one faces down and one faces up. Mr. Contelmo said there are 2 different types of lights - the sconce and the one that hangs from the vaulted ceiling. Mr. Contelmo said yes up and down.
Chair Pagano asked about the hanging light that comes down through from the peak and if it has a flood bulb. Mr. Contelmo advised yes that would be the flood light and they show the photometric data on the site plan.
Member Pearson asked which flood light is new. Mr. Contelmo said only the bulb which goes in the hanging light up in the peak of the
new structure. Chair Pagano said that flood will only point down. Mr. Contelmo said right.
Member Pearson spoke on the 2 existing flood lights and felt they were too brilliant and light up some of the Park across the street and would like to see them shaded or switched out. Member Pearson asked if any member have seen the lights at night. Member Zacharzuk said he has and felt Member Pearson was correct.
Member Pearson asked that they be shaded and not shine out beyond the road. Mr. Laveglia said these lights have been there a long time and he has never received one complaint and felt if they were an issue someone would have said something. Member Pearson said this Board does not have the option to say anything until change happens and the Board can get details. Mr. Laveglia said he has no problem fixing a problem but never felt this was a problem. Mr. Contelmo said Mr. Laveglia is agreeing to changing them out with adding a cover on them and based on the timing he would prefer to not have another meeting.

Member Pearson said you might be able to just put a shade on them. Mr. Contelmo said they will look at it.
