City of Bloomington, Indiana

open #207120

Nuisance Lights:

Other: This light was recently installed, and it has caused me to be unable to sleep in my own bedroom despite curtains. My back yard is almost entirely illuminated (see image). I believe this constitutes a light trespass as defined in Bloomington city ordinance section 20.04.090 section (4) and lacks proper shielding as outlined in section (5)(A).

Yes, thank you, Jennifer. I visited the property at night last week and documented the light which did not have proper shielding. Planning staff will be drafting a Notice of Violation (NOV) warning letter for noncompliant lighting at the property.

Jennifer, This is a private light in the back yard of this address and is being paid for by the property owner per Duke.
