FILE NO- 798.02 — 02.13
Gentlemen:
Please find attached a memo with pictures from Ja Johnson, the Cit Public Works
Director, indicatin the extent of g lare from the new li fixtures installed at Centur
Power and E As y ou are aware, we discussed the fixtures a few weeks a
and it was determined at that time, the desi in concept, would meet the intent of the
shieldin re of Section 401.15.13.7 of the Oak Park Hei Zonin
Ordinance. In realit upon inspection of the fixtures after dark and as exhibited in the
attached pictures, the fixtures are not compliant.
In order to resolve this issue, the fixtures will need to be replaced or fitted with shields
so that all of the li are compliant with the Cit li standards. I would re
that y ou contact me so that we can discuss this issue further and establish a timeline for
completion of the li retrofit.

Re: century Power
Below are the digital photos of the lights at century Power and Z - intl's latest building
This is the approved lights that were
installed on Zintl's newest building. This
light fixture cast little or no light upwards.
Century Power new light.
The camera cannot catch the
shadows as well as the eye.
When viewed there is a
shadow that extends above
the fixture. Clue to the
reflector in the back the glare
in front of the lamp is hard on
your eyes if you look at the
fixture.
