this could not be Burlington ar Graham. It was a small car dealership out in White Cross area, that looked like there was same sort of major sale going an there. "So even some small projects can have quite an impact upon the rural environment. Besides the businesses and residences, this light pollution can affect the enjoyment of the night, the dark sky, and enjoyment by the neighbors. You will also notice that driving conditions based on inappropriate lighting can also cause hazards while driving. And energy conservation, we just didn't want to limit it to light pollution, we understand that in our age of energy star housing where we are reducing the amount of energy necessary for housing, there is also a way of reducing the amount of energy for lighting and you have noticed the different color-coded lighting out there." "There are certain types of lighting that are high-energy cansumption. And what we are suggesting, at least at the public hearing stage, is the prohibition of mercury vapor lighting, which is, as we have analyzed, high-energy consumption. And there is a chart which we will go to next that gives an example of some of the lighting fixtures that are available and some of the costs that accrue to the people who pay the bill afterwards." "Now we also understand that the costs of the initial installation is part of the capital improvement and costs of providing these facilities, but also if you take a lank at the cast of the electric service afterwards, by reducing this long term electric cansumption, the need and dependency on sources of electricity could be brought down. "Also another initiative that we are taking a look at is where possible and where feasible and applicable, we are encouraging the use of solar lighting, and solar lighting technology which has over the last five years moved forward in leaps and bounds and we are interested in proceeding with some sort of solar lighting application at our building in Orange County. The lighting was knocked down in a storm a few years and we are still without signs and without lighting and sa we hope to have some new technology for solar lighting for the sign. This is just a quick chart of energy conservation -low pressure sodium, 35 watts, annual operating costs about $19.00, high pressure sodium -75 watt fixtures, about $30.00, middle halide- 100watt bulbs, $37.00 approximately, and mercury vapor -175 watts, $67.00. "So you can see almost 3'/2 times the cost of providing lighting with different types of fixtures and applications. Now there is a combination- it doesn't mean that you have to provide 3'h times as many lighting fixtures as low-pressure sodium to make the project work. This is just an example of what we have done in energy conservation analysis to make sure that future lights take that into consideration. We hope that the benefits abound and to improve driving conditions but still allowing far appropriate security for people that want to preserve their property, using conservation measures to reduce our dependency an electricity, using these solar opportunities, supporting the dark skies initiative so people can enjoy the stars out there. And also taking a look at lighting so that it is used for its intended purposes of security and invisibility and using crime prevention through environmental design techniques. So those are some of the positive consequences. "So that is in essence where we are going with the new amendments to our lighting standards. That is all for the presentation that Robert has tonight. We did recognize a note that came in from Duke Power that mentioned a few sections of our Ordinance. I just read this before the meeting and they said that some parts of the ordinance were good and they would like to work with us on some other parts that discussed such as the prohibition of mercury halide lights. We do have certain clauses about how this would apply to new development and things
