1. The Planning Commission was favorable to the use of monument signage and
decorative fencing throughout the
9 9 e development. All of the signage, as proposed, '
is
consistent with the sign requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
2. The Planning Commission felt that the name of the park should be distinctive and the
signage should clearly identify the ark as a City ty of Oak Park Heights park. 9 p If the park
is named "Boutwells Park", the sign should include the City logo and indicate y 9 clearly indicate the
area as
part of the City's park system.
Lighting
1. The Planning Commission was favorable to the light fixture proposed and preferred the
option that included the 14 foot ole design. p g Staff indicated that the other option
included 30 foot poles that were not p
of allowable under the Zoning Ordinance
requirements. VSSA had indicated that the ole light fight would be reduced to 24 feet in
conformance with the ordinance.
2. The Planning Commission favored the luminaire design with the tens that did not extend
below the fixture. They felt that this fixture was more consistent with what is required for
other developments throughout the City.

BOUTWELLS LANDING
DATE: 9/12/00
I am enclosing three items for your review and approval. I
pp assume all three items
would be reviewed by the Parks Commission and the City Council l as well.
L Name of the Park: It is our recommendation that the Park
be named
Bout -well Park. This would provide consistency in location and y d ease of
recognition for citizens of Oak Park Heights. The name was chosen to
honor a historic figure of the St. Croix Valle area. Attached i
� 5a
summary of that historic reference.
2 Signage throughout Boutwells Landing: Enclosed are several al copes of our
signage plans for the site. We are planning monument signage on both
ends of Norwich Parkway
arkway and appropriate, complementary e
throughout signage hoot tl�e remainder g g
g nder of the campus for ease of recognition,
consistency of theme, and direction. We have been articular) careful y eful to
insure the signage does not interfere with site -lines in traffic areas.
3. A Street Light Plan throughout the camp use We are actually delivering y del�verxng tvo
lighting plans alternatives to you: one plan calls for lighting fixtures g tures that
are 14 feet high with decorative poles and fixtures and a second lan
p that
calls for 28 -foot poles with decorative fixtures. It is our understanding
that i2 plans completely meet the photometry specifications of City.
the ��ty.
Therefore, the requirements that the City has for lumens glare, , g e, ease of
operation, etc. should be successfully addressed by both lans.
Our preference is the 14 -foot pole design. We feel that alternative will
provide the campus with an outstanding aesthetic ambiance as well
as a
very success lighting plan. However, we are submitting both to you and
• g �'
seekjn your app roval for both. Given your approval, our decision
P as to
which plan to go forward with would be based on our financial analysis.
The 14 -foot option is considerably more expensive, however if we can
afford that option, it would remain our preference.
Our hope is to receive approval for these lighting plans at the next City
P � ty
Council meeting so that we can move ahead with the orderin g and
installation of these lights this fall in order to have street lights in time for
or
most of the long winter months.
We will be prepared to present these lans and answer questions q ons at both the Parks
Commission meeting on 9/18/00 and the City Council meeting ngon9126loo if you
would like. If you would like further information do not hesitate to call (651275 -
5318). Thank you for your assistance with these items.

The DMS50 luminaire consists of
a sealed optical chamber made of a
hydroformed reflector permanently
sealed on an injected refractor with
internal prisms only or a tempered
glass sag lens.
A tool-free lamp access shutter and
sleeve, with self-adjusting injection-
molded silicone gasket, keep the
optical chamber hermetically sealed.
The optical system fits into a lumi-
