Box 2007 Email: jhultman @cityofoakparkheights.com Oak Park Heights, MN 55082 Phone: 651.439.4439 Fax: 651.439.0574 November 24, 2010 Mr. Tim Bohmen, General Manager Fred's Tire Co., Inc. 14520 60 St. N. Oak Park Heights, MN 55082 Re: Wall -Pack Lighting Fixtures Dear Mr. Bohmen: Oak Park Heights City Ordinance 401.15.B.7 requires all outdoor luminaires to have no Tess than a 90 degree angle for total cut off of the Tight 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 installed to the west, north and east sides of Fred's Tire business structure and those to the south and east sides of the storage building at the rear of the business 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 15, 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 for your reference in attending to this matter. I'm 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, 1 Juli_ Itman Plan ing & Code Enforcement Officer Enclosures pc: Eric Johnson, City Administrator (no enclosures) Property File
