Lynn EAC keeps lighting ordinance and development contingencies on its agenda, seeks budget for 2027
Summary
The council kept a 2026 lighting ordinance and a list of conditional-use contingencies for new development on the table, assigned follow-up research tasks and requested an annual EAC budget beginning in 2027.
During Old Business the Lynn Township Environmental Advisory Council maintained several tabled priorities, naming a Lighting Ordinance as a 2026 priority and continuing to table C2P2 Shovel Ready Projects. Members discussed creating a checklist of conditional-use or contingency items for new construction, with examples listed in the minutes (tree screens; mud-flap knockers; road maintenance/improvement; roof and siding materials/colors; lighting restrictions; traffic timing restrictions; safe egress/access points).
The council recorded multiple administrative action items: Gabriel Caprio will research building-size thresholds and new-construction additions relevant to a lighting ordinance; Kathryn Townsend will request an EAC township email address and set up social media accounts (for example, Nextdoor); Annie Glenn will request an annual EAC budget starting in 2027. The minutes note attendance plans for the BOS meeting on May 14, 2026, as TBD.
No formal ordinance text or vote was recorded; the items remain under study and were saved for future discussion.
