Zoning Variance Request 1. Lampposts and associated lighting have existed for approximately 17 years without incident or complaints from PGC residents. We had our first complaint this year, from a resident that recently moved to our community. We are a “self- contained” condo community, isolated from other Town of Aurora residents; avoiding the potential of “light trespass” to them. 2. New code compliant lampposts would decrease the overall illumination “footprint”, to the areas they were originally designed for. This is the only PGC provided means of outdoor lighting. We have streets at least 4’ narrower than other Town private roads, no sidewalks, and no streetlights. There are currently (10) resident households that have dogs and walk them on our roads regularly, both day and night. Additionally, the average resident age is closely estimated to be between 73- 76 years. We feel as a board complying with this new requirement reduces pedestrian safety, and increases our community’s liability exposure. (see addendum for additional reference) 3. Since we are bound by Sec 8.03 of our By-Laws to “maintain conformance to materials, color and style of common elements, as originally provided by the Sponsor,” our adherence to the new code will place an unreasonable S60K+ financial burden upon our community. = se€& 47TH Hf SEE A TT yc Cs « 7 é
