John Horniak of 5 L Stevens Road told the Planning Board that two building-mounted security lights aimed toward his home are unshielded and “extremely bright,” producing glare into his bedroom and living areas.
Horniak said a prior informal fix — tape applied to the fixtures — had deteriorated and requested permanent shields or pole-mounted down lights to contain light within the subject property. He told the board the lights appear to be mounted about 13 feet high and aimed outward rather than down.
A representative for the property said an electrician had previously chosen the fixture orientation, and that the owner would replace all six problematic fixtures with more focused, down-directed lighting and install metal shields if needed. The representative said crews would make the change “as soon as possible” and suggested the work could be completed before the end of the year.
Town staff and board members asked that the property present a revised lighting approach if the initial work does not resolve the glare. No permit action or enforcement order was issued during the meeting.
