THE17A LIGHTING & CONTROLS GROUP J�M 14615 MARTIN DRIVE, EDEN PRAIRIE, MINNESOTA 55344 PHONE (612) 937-1880 August 17, 1990 Rick Jopke City of Roseville 2660 Civic Center Dr. Roseville, MN 55113 Re: Relighting of Target Parking Lot - Roseville, MN Dear Rick: As discussed yesterday, I would submit to you our point -by -point calculations for Target's proposed relighting of the parking lot area for the Roseville store. I received your information regarding the new standards for open parking areas, which requires a .9 footcandles in the general parking and pedestrian areas, and in high activity areas where vehicles are used, 2 footcandle minimum. All measurements taken at 5 feet off the ground. Please note that all of our calculations are taken at the surface and would be much higher, in terms of footcandle levels, if the readings were taken at 5 feet off the ground. Target's main purpose was to provide an entirely new blacktop parking surface for all the vehicles. At the same they tuiought } it would be appropriate, if their budget allowed, to relight the parking lot, using basically the same pole positions and stay within a slim budget. We took footcandle readings of the existing parking lot at the surface. I have recorded those readings on the attached proposed layout so the footcandle readings could be easily compared. As you can see we are increasing lighting levels dramatically. The lighting with the new proposed design is extremely uniform. Also note that the fixture being used is a sharp cut-off design, therefore will comply very nicely, in terms of lighting obtrusion, for the surrounding area and neighborhood. The existing fixtures are all spot light, or floods, which are focused up at approximately 45 degrees and obviously are a very bright source to the public.
