Subject: PLPA-2012-0004 Buick/GMC Site Development Review Permit
Dear Jeff
This email is regarding permit PLPA-2012-0004 Buick/GMC Site Development Review
Permit, scheduled for Planning Commission on Apri124, 2012.
We are happy to see that local car dealerships are making improvements to their sites.
We are also happy to see that staff is requiring the applicant to clean up the site and
remove unsightly tent structures and outdoor storage containers.
The draft conditions for the project include a landscape plan for improvements along
Dublin Blvd. Is the intent of the landscaping plan be to screen the bright lights from
residences across Dublin Blvd?
In order improve the site's appearance from Dublin Blvd., we ask that the following
condition be added to the draft resolution:
If new lights will be installed as part of the project - "All new lights proposed for the
subject property shall have full cut-off and/or hoods to direct light down and to prevent
light pollution to the maximum extent feasible. Applicant shall provide lighting
specification with plans submitted for construction permits; subject to the approval of the
Director of Community Development."
If existin lg fights will be maintained as part of the project - "The applicant shall install
shields or hoods on existing lights (and/or replace bulbs so that they have full cut off) to
direct light down and reduce light pollution to the maximum extent feasible."
We believe there is adequate nexus between the project scope and the above condition
regarding lighting and find that this is a good opportunity to improve the site particularly
as viewed from Dublin Blvd, a major street.
We also hope staff will make sure that future signage will be tasteful. Thank you,
Concerned Dublin Citizens
