40 <br />Approved 11/4/09 <br />Judith Wegner: One thing might be the required timers; I don't know if that is specified in the ordinance or some other reason but <br />it sounds like that is enforcement issue and if there were a mechanical requirement that be available then it more likely it will <br />happen. Did you have other issues? <br />Sara Shields: When an enforcement officer comes by with his foot candle measurement tool, he walks on the properly line and <br />in my particular situation, I realize I am one person and this is supposed to count for everyone in the County but I feel like I am <br />on a mission for everyone in the County. Our property is divided by a road and if he walks the peropty line where there is <br />dedduous trees, which lose their leaves then during the time of the year when the leaves are on the trees then sometimes they <br />pass but when you've walk back into my horse field, the light is everywhere. I could write a note to you on the comer of my <br />property but because he has walked the property line the foot candles are okay it doesn't matter they are so tall and big that they <br />shine all over my property because one the property line they are okay. That is just not reasonable. <br />Judith Wegner: Those are both helpful points. <br />Mark Marcoplos: Where do you live in geographic details? <br />Sara Shields: I live on a gravel road off Walnut Grove Church Road on the very edge of the County, one mile from the Person <br />County line. There is absolutely nothing anywhere around me like this. It is completely rural and it is farmland and the only <br />traffic on our road is residential and tractors and the church traffic. Now we have motorcycles pulling out at 11:00 P.M. or 12:00 <br />at night. <br />Mark Marcoplos: What is the event? <br />Sara Shields: A softball field. <br />Mark Marcopios: it is a recreational softbaN league and they go to aA hours of the night. <br />Sara Shields: One night they went to 1:00 A.M. in the morning and a number of times until 11:30 P.M. and I have called. Calling <br />doesn't work. <br />Tommy McNeill: In your open remarks you clearly stated that what we say here doesn't matter? <br />Sara Shields: It doesn't matter to me personally. <br />Judith Wegner: I think we should ask her to comment from her point of view and maybe tell us what you're concerned about <br />what she said. <br />Tommy McNeill: I will table my comments. <br />Judith Wegner: I would like to hear your views. <br />Tommy McNeill: Again, I decided to table my comments. <br />Mark Marcoplos; Based on your response, it sounds like someone needs to get on it and deal with it from an enforcement issue. <br />Judith Wegner: I would like to wind it in to the deliberations on this group. Mark, you may want to say to us that you think it <br />would be use for Craig or whoever to take into account. We have your comments and observations. <br />Larry Wright: I think we need to get back to the ordinance. <br />Craig Benedict: We did find the answer to Earl. Sports facilities do not have caps. That is on page 26. <br />Earl McKee: What threw me on that part was after the comment, "which shah be regulated as detailed within". <br />Judith Wegner: Maybe they should be cross referenced. <br />Jeffrey Schmitt: A follow up to the point. The property line, the measurement, the 25 lumens invading the property boundary <br />probably needs to be expanded to say 25 lumens at and within the property values, something more inclusive. <br />Craig Benedict: That is the intent. It should be less as you go further into the property. <br />8 <br />
