Re: Super America Building Wall -Pack Lighting Fixtures @ 14493 60th St N
Dear Mr. Ogren:
City of Oak Park Heights Ordinance 401.15.B.7 requires all outdoor luminaires to have no less
than a 90 degree angle for total cut off of the light emitted from the fixture. Simply put, this
means that the lens through which light is emitted shall not extend beyond a solid material,
which restricts light emission, above and to each side of the fixture. This is also known as a full
or total cut off.
The exterior wall -pack lighting fixtures at the east and west sides of the Super America store
situated at 14493 60 St. N. do not comply with City Ordinance requirements in that they do not
have shields installed to effectuate full cut -off as required by City Ordinance 401.15.B.7.
With this letter, you are requested to take the steps necessary to bring the wall pack lighting
fixtures into compliance. The corrections shall be completed no later than December 27, 2010.
A compliance inspection will be made to verify compliance by this date.
For your convenience, I have enclosed City Ordinance sections 401.02.b and 401.15.B.7 as they
relate to outdoor lighting and have highlighted the diagrams on page 02 -14 and 02 -15 for your
reference in attending to this matter. I'd be happy to review any alteration drawings to correct
the existing fixtures or new fixture drawings to confirm their compliance prior to your
installation of them.
I appreciate your prompt attention to this request and ask that you contact me immediately with
any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Ju i Hultman
Planning & Code Enforcement Officer
