2. Pine Street Lighting Discussion
Mr. Williams relayed street lighting requested by Point Edwards residents ($20,000 approved by
Council in late 2016) was put on hold in late May following concerns about impacts to the nearby
demo garden. Public Works staff has researched two lighting options:
SnoPUD
0 3 poles — 35' mounting height
0 161' spacing
0 50w LED Acuity Roadway Type 11 3,000 deg. K (equivalent to 118w HPS)
o Choice of house -side shield or light trespass shield (most aggressive)
o City installs buried conduit (halted)
o PUD installs and maintains fiberglass direct -bury poles and luminaires
o Monthly charge approx. $6 each
o Cost of installation: $12,772
Sternberg
0 5 poles — 13.5' mounting height
0 82' spacing
0 32w LED Roadway Type IV 3,000 deg. K (equivalent to approx.. 80w HPS)
o No additional house -side shield or cut-off available
o City does entire installation including concrete bases
o City owns and maintains system — buys power from PUD
o Cost of poles and luminaires: $10,875.00
Mr. Williams displayed photographs of the lights in both options and provided the following comments:
• Initial cost is similar, affordable
• Choice between City -owned and operated/maintained system versus a system where
SnoPUD is responsible for O&M and replacement
• Concern regarding the IES footprint of the Sternberg Type IV fixture without an additional
shield
• Staff recommends SnoPUD package

Ms. Hite relayed the Pilchuck Audubon Society's preference for an option that limits light spillage into
the demo garden. She urged caution about light spillage into an area close to the road where nests
have been found.
Discussion followed regarding the existing high intensity light in the hatchery and public safety
purpose of that light, where pedestrians walk (north side), specialty lighting the developer put in,
concern other neighborhoods will want specialty lighting, volunteers' concern plants were damaged by
installation of the conduit, staff's limited trimming of shrubs to install the conduit, regrowth of native
vegetation, existing lighting at Pt. Edwards, wildlife in the area, preference for pedestrian lights on
Pine Street, the developer's responsibility for improvements to Pine Street once Building 10 is
complete, finding a solution agreeable to Pt. Edwards and the demo garden (Pilchuck Audubon), the
IES pattern for the SnoPUD option with shields, and Pt. Edwards' residents' concern with delaying a
decision. Mr. Williams and Ms. Hite offered to meet with Pilchuck Audubon Society president.
Action: Staff meet with Pilchuck Audubon Society and have further discussion at the August 8 PPP
meeting.
3. Historic Informational Panels for Yost Park and Waterfront Mills
Ms. Hite relayed Council approved funding for the interpretive panels in December 2016 and
requested the final design and proposed sites be approved by Council following Planning Board and
Arts Commission review. The Arts Commission approved the panels in June 2017. The Planning
Board approved the panels in June 2017 with comments regarding the potential need to move the
Sunset Avenue panel in the future and including language that references both signs. Ms. Hite
reviewed revised language for the Waterfront Mills and Yost Park panels.
Councilmember Johnson displayed full-scale copies of the panels and language on the signs was
further revised in an effort to reduce the number of words. It was also suggested the photograph on
the Yost Park sign be enlarged.
Action: Schedule on Consent Agenda as revised
The meeting was adjourned at 8:45 p.m.
