City Planner Meagan Beekman asked Deputy John Eastham, Crime Prevention Deputy for the County, to comment on safety and security for the proposal. Chair Larson asked Deputy Eastham to explain the crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) to which Mr. �astham replied it is creating an environment that alters human behavior and creates buildings that are less likely to attract crime. Deputy Eastham stated that for three years the building was being used as dormitories for Northwestern College. Based on his experience of the student housing use he shared the following points of concern: Lighting. There was insufficient lighting, specifically in the parking lot and during college use there was a huge uptick in theft from autos. He requested a lighting plan that would deal with IES minimum requirements for exterior parking, which would maintain the minimum three-foot candles across the board at ground level, noting that .5-foot candles are not enough. The property has foot traffic as well as vehicle traffic during all hours of the day and night so criminal activity could go up, especially theft from autos.
