Resident urges council to consider a night‑sky ordinance to limit light trespass
Summary
A resident named Mike presented a 13‑page model 'night sky' ordinance and asked the council to review it to reduce light trespass, intrusive LED lighting, and disruptive business signage.
A resident who identified himself as Mike delivered a written model ordinance and urged the council to consider local rules to limit light trespass and preserve nighttime views. "It's a night sky ordinance," he said, describing provisions to direct lighting onto private property and to reduce intrusive signs and high‑intensity LEDs.
Mike said he had submitted a detailed 13‑page ordinance used in Presque Isle Township and suggested the council review, adapt and possibly draft a local ordinance. Council staff acknowledged receipt and invited him to leave a copy with the city clerk for further consideration; no formal action or drafting schedule was set during the meeting.
