Section 5.5 or Somewhere in the Standards for Residential Uses or Development Standards there should be a section that specifies section 6 minimum residential driveway sizes of 12 feet wide by 14 feet vertical clearance (already stated in 7.8.5 (B) (15) on page 7 -32 for fire apparatus. This is the cleared width of the driveway, not the width of gravel or paving. 3 Page 7 -25 The travel -way width for Class B with 2 lots should be specified as 12 feet of cleared space, no standard for width of ravel or hard surface. 3 Page 7 -28 Under (5) (b): 16 feet should be 18 feet so that a passenger car can be passed by fire apparatus. For Class B roads with 3 or more lots, there should be an area 20 feet wide by 50 feet long every 1500 feed to that fire apparatus can pass each other. Page 6 -105 6.12.11 (A) (6) should be "Signs for Non - profit or Not for profit organizations. Under the tax codes, I think these are two separate designations and both should be allowed to have a sign. Page 6 -106, (c) Back in section 6.12.6 (a) (1) Portable signs are prohibited. On page 6 -106, special event signs are allowed. Can portable signs be used here? I am thinking of things like a Fire Department fund raising event that would be displayed on a portable sign that sits on the ground at the fire station. 1 Page 6 -103 (K) A restriction on single poll or mast signs seems overly restrictive. Also in the section, can we make signs stapled to utility poles prohibited? I think they are by state law, but putting that in these ordinances would give the county the ability to take action or just remove the sign). 1 .11.3 page 6 -91 On (1), remove the word "incandescent" since LED lights are now often used for holiday decorations. Low wattage is not defined, but a typical nightlight(big Christmas tree bulb is 7 watts so you could say any wattage under 10 watts. It would make more sense to use a lumen rating, such as less than 150 lumens. On (J), first off this should be a lumen limit, not watts. As the limit reads, this looks like a total lumens for any given motion activated switch. The lumens looks like it was derived from two incandescent 75 watt bulbs, probably flood lights. Note that if this is the case, the maxim lumens should be 2400. There are many motion activated systems where a sensor can turn on multiple light fixtures. so I would re -word this to have a 2400 lurnen limit per light fixture controlled by the sensor. Finally, on this max lumens per fixture, there are standard outdoor floodlight fixtures that take 3 bulbs. For those fixtures, a reasonable max lumens would be around 3600. You could also add a limit of no one bulb can exceed a rating of 2100 lumens a 120 watt equivalent) if the intent is to avoid the larger single bulb fixtures. 3 6.11.4 page 6 -92 (A) This is where a definition of "mercury vapor luminaries" is needed. As written, this could mean that any standard fluorescent or compact fluorescent light could not be used, since they are a mercury-phosphorous based light. 3 6.11.6 page 6 -95 (C) (1) Some floodlight fixtures do not cover the bulb, the stop just after the threaded base. I'd just stick with the 45 degree from vertical. (c) (2) the "it will shine" is vague. Perhaps something like "no more than 5% of the luminous energy shall shine towards roadways, onto adjacent residential property or into the night sky ". (C) (3) Same vagueness- what is the "main beam "? Do you really want to say that no portion of the bulb shall be visible from adjacent properties or the public street right -of -way? From an enforcement point of view, a "Can't see the bulb" is easy to verify for both the owner and the inspector. Note that this is the approach taken on page 6 -97, 6.117 (3). 3 6.11.6 page 6 -96 (K) Back on page 6 -91, the time limit for motion controlled lights was 12 minutes, here it is 15. It would be cleaner if there was one maximum timeout time for all motion controlled lights.
