April 24, 2012 Item # 8.1 G:IForms & DocumentslPC-CC FomtslPC FormslSB 343 Form.doc From: Concerned Dublin Citizens [mailto:makedublinbetter@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, April 22, 2012 11:52 AM To: Jeff Baker 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
