From: Brian Palmer [mailto:B.Palmer@cityofcapecanaveral.org] Sent: Wednesday, February 12, 2014 4:32 PM To: Bill Bedwell Subject: RE: Spill-over lighting complaint Mr. Bedwell, I just spoke with Mr. Morley who was actually speaking to the owner of the Beach Wave. The owner stated he had fixed the lighting issue. I would like you to take some more photos of the light from your condo (like the ones you took before) so I can see what he has done if anything. I will also be out there on the 20th after dark to measure the spill over lighting myself to see if he is indeed in compliance. Thank you for your assistance and your patience in this matter.

From: Bill Bedwell [mailto:bbedwell2@cfl.rr.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 07, 2014 12:11 PM To: 'Brian Palmer' Cc: 'Glenn Pereno' Subject: RE: Spill-over lighting complaint Gentlemen, I just wanted to follow up on the Notice of Violation the city issued to the owner of Beachwave. Did the owner, in the city’s opinion, bring all violations into compliance? The reason I’m asking is that the floodlights from the Beachwave’s north side of the parking lot are still shining very brightly into my condo and I was hoping that eliminating the light spillage as required by the city’s notice would have brought some relief to my issue with the lights.

Bet you’re a little annoyed about the erroneous original reading. I’ll patiently wait on your new results, etc. However, while you are trying to rectify the earlier error in readings, I’d like to request that you reconsider Beachwave’s compliance (or lack thereof) with another city ordinance raised in my original complaint, which Mr. Pereno suggested did not apply. I believe that this ordinance may actually be more directly pertinent to my problem. As stated in my original complaint (attached), the lights appear to be placed in a configuration that illuminates the entire façade of the building, rather than in such a way that would concentrate the light on the wall sign being lit, as required by signage ordinance Sec. 94-63. Lighting. It is apparent that the floodlights are illuminating a much wider swath than what is necessary to make the wall sign visible, since they are shining brightly into my condo, which is hundreds of yards away on adjacent property. I would think that a fix could be accomplished through the addition of shields on the sides of the lights: the wall signs would be lit without light spilling out to the sides. Let me know what you think.

We had an issue with the readings Mr. Pereno took, they were not accurate readings. I took one reading and it showed they were still in violation However; due to Mr. Pereno’s error I have to complete the whole test over.
