106 <br />(d) G. Additional information may not always be available depending on that is requested. <br />Specificity would be preferred. <br />(e) C and E. Athletic facility lighting may not be able to comply with either the degree <br />requirements or the visibility of the bulb. With high poles, if you look right at the bulbs, <br />you can usually see them even from a distance. The bulbs at the Eurosport Soccer Center <br />are visible from 185/40. As such, they do not represent a hazard. <br />(e) M. Parks and Rec could not comply. Parks rely heavily on security lighting throughout <br />our system. Some are pole, some wall, some bollard lighting, and sign lighting. Without <br />this, parks would be subject to increased vandalism. <br />(f) B. Recommend changing the word ...athletic "field" to athletic "facility" This would <br />accommodate courts, dog parks, skate parks, etc. <br />(g) C. Parks and Rec could not comply. The lamp surfaces of most of our athletic facility <br />lighting are visible from residential areas and private roadways. This proposal would <br />eliminate most athletic facility lighting. <br />(h) B. Parks and Rec could not comply with the 80/60' limitations. We could most likely <br />comply with a 100 ft restriction in both urban and rural areas. <br />(h) C. This language would require bid specs be written so as to be proprietary. I believe <br />there is only one manufacturer that could meet this requirement. It is not in the best <br />interest of Orange County or any public entity to structure specifications allowing only <br />one or two manufacturers product. <br />(h) E. Parks and Rec could comply at this time, but may not be able to in the near future as <br />play pressure increases on our facilities. This restriction would also eliminate specialized <br />night time programming. Many communities enjoy special events scheduled after <br />midnight. <br />(h) F. Parks and Recreation could not comply. (see above) Many of our current and future <br />facilities are in rural areas and we frequently run past 10 or 11 pm. <br />(i) A. Recommend changing the fourth sentence to read: "Bottom mounted outdoor <br />advertising light fixtures shall not be used. <br />cc: David Stancil, <br />Rich Shaw <br />Marabeth Carr <br />
