Re: Grand Grill & Pizzeria @ 14587 60 St. N. - Exterior Lighting
Dear Mr. Anderson:
I wrote to you on February 6, 2009 relative the luminaire that had been placed to the exterior
walls of the Grand Grill & Pizzeria and their not being compliance with City Ordinance
requirements that all outdoor luminaire have no less than a 90 degree angle for total cut off of
the light emitted from the fixture. In my correspondence, I noted that there is an exception
within the Zoning Ordinance relative to architectural/historical light fixtures, which must be
considered and approved by the City Council through the City's Variance process.
You were requested to remove or replace the fixtures no later than February 20, 2009. While it
has been noted that most of the fixtures have been turned off, they have not bee removed. All
of the non - compliant fixtures must not be illuminated, including those at the entry.
You are encouraged to replace the fixtures with ones that meet compliance. If you elect to
leave the non - compliant fixtures in place they must not be illuminated at any time. To avoid
accidental lighting of these fixtures, you may wish to remove the bulbs from the fixtures.
Please be forewarned that if they are found illuminated you will be cited for violation of City
Ordinance requirements without any further warning.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
J- A. Hultman
