Street Lights Street lights are owned and installed by Connexus Energy. The streetlight design was developed in conjunction with the City of Ramsey and Connexus (See Figure 2: Master Lighting PlanFigurc 3: Mastcr Lighting Plan). The standard street lights are designed to accommodate banner arms should banner signage be desired. The banner arms should be the manufacturer's standard break -away banner arms to ensure safety and minimize maintenance costs. Connexus provides street light maintenance for the City. Connexus bills the City of Ramsey for the cost of installation and maintenance. The choice of street light was intended to emphasis the pedestrian scale of The COR. Light poles within the public right -of -way should be planned to accommodate banners, flowers, hanging artwork and electrical outlets. There are three (3) different streetlight types within The COR: • 24 -foot high poles at intersections • 14 -foot high poles at mid -block • 12 -foot high poles at The Draw The City will ensure that the appropriate streetlights are installed on all public streets as described by the Design Framework. Private developers shall provide parking lot or other project lighting that retains these design objectives. All lighting shall comply with City Code performance standards for lighting. All lighting shall be reviewed by City staff to ensure compliance with the Design Framework and City Code standards described above. Standards for Outdoor Dining. Outdoor dining is encouraged as an attractive addition to a pedestrian- and retail - friendly, vital COR. Such dining is encouraged subject to the standards in Section 117 -118 of the Zoning Ordinance. Design Framework — The COR Page 15 1 Fcbruary September 28, 2012
