The objective of the foregoing specifications is to minimize undesirable off- premises effects, while still providing adequate illumination to minimize hazards for pedestrians and motor vehicles on site. To the extent practicable, lighting shall be designed so as not to shine into residential windows and not to shine onto streets and driveways in such a manner as to interfere with or distract driver vision, and no light shall be directed off the premises. To achieve these requirements, the intensity of light sources, the method of light shielding and other parameters shall be subject to site plan approval.

L. Poles for driveway, parking lot and courtyard lighting shall be constructed of pressure-treated wood, steel, cast iron or aluminum. All poles and fixtures shall be of a design approved by the approving authority.
