Yes, we look at averages. Foot candles will always be higher directly under the fixture. The key is not to
over -illuminate any one area as this creates hot spots. The other key is to reduce foot candles at the
property line. 10 foot candles is pretty high for area lighting and parking lot lighting. I would like to see
where application is and why they feel they need more lighting.

Jill - Drew Thomas of VF Ripley had a lighting question for me right before I left on vacation. I was going
to try to find Ted to discuss the issue with him, but ran out of time. Drew may call while I'm gone about the
issue. If he does, please refer him to Ted for an answer to his question. The issue deals with the lighting
plan. There are spot lighting readings on the lighting plan that exceed 10 foot-candles. I have traditionally
told applicants that they must alter the lighting so that the ligting does not exceed 10.
Ted, have I been commenting correctly? Does this standard refer to all spots on the site (even directly
under the fixtures), or is there a bit of averaging that can happen? If the issue comes up while I'm gone,
please clarify for the applicant.
Thanks
