Marina Parking Lighting & Wetlands Update

Light pollution impact on neighbors and work to begin on the wetlands…..

Lighting Issues

The Coalition’s Loch Lomond Marina Committee continues to work with the developer to resolve light pollution issues resulting from the temporary parking lighting recently installed while the permanent parking areas are under construction.

In addition, the committee has begun review of the permanent lighting plan and fixture list.  We have been told by the S.R. Community Development Department that the lighting plan is the last public comment design review for this project.  The public review is expected to be scheduled in the next 2 months.  This will be the last chance for all neighbors to review the lighting, an element that will impact a great many residents, both close by and up the hill.

Wetlands Work

In the next two weeks or so, equipment will be operating in three places in the wetlands as part of the wetland restoration project.  The project involves removing fill from upland areas of the wetland so that there is a continuous water flow between all areas of the wetland.  This diagram shows these areas shaded and circled.
