All lighting fixtures, except motion detector-activated lighting, shall be fully shielded so that the lighting element is not visible to an observer at any property line, except as stated otherwise in this Section 20.04.090 (Outdoor Lighting). ii. Unless otherwise specified, all lighting fixtures shall be full cutoff type as installed. iii. A lighting fixture may beam light upward only if all upward light is reflected back down by a canopy, roof, or other such structure.
Please ticket and enforce.
Also full trash cans are left out all week.

Invalid and duplicate report. Planning staff re-investigated the property today and did not observe any additional lighting. All outdoor lighting on the property appears to be compliant as it meets the limits for light trespass and the lighting fixtures meet the shielding exemption for low-intensity lighting. Please contact Planning staff directly regarding further complaints about the lighting at this property as this is a misuse of City staff time to continue reporting the lighting at this property anonymously via uReport. You can contact Planning staff directly at 812-349-3423 or at [email protected].

The Department of Public Works has no jurisdiction over light trespass issues. I will reassign it to Planning and Transportion.
