III. NEW BUSINESS
A. “Sandpiper Inn” Lighting
1750 Boston Post Road (Map 25 / Lot 4)
Gateway Business B-4 District
Applicant/Agent: Tushar N. Dadarwala
Mr. Dadarwala is returning for the Board’s approval of a revised lighting plan. He was before the Board in June of 2007 for Façade Renovation approval. The Board noted that there is no lighting design plan and requested the applicant to return for review and approval of exterior lighting. Mr. Dadarwala noted that there will be new exterior lighting at the top of each short column on the east and west elevations. The Board stipulated in the June 11, 2007 meeting that all new exterior lighting shall be fully shrouded, Dark Skies compliant with no light source visible off-site or from the wetlands. At tonight’s meeting Mr. Dadarwala presented the plans and drawings of where the light fixtures would be located and presented the actual light for the Board to see. The lights would be placed along the exterior of the building to illuminate the walkway. The lights are 26 Watt Cool White Quad Florescent Wall Fixtures 10 1/4H x 9 3/8W x 3 7/8D.
J. Gibbs made a side comment regarding the lighting fixtures: He reminded the owner of the Dark Skies Initiative currently underway.
