Planning staff have issued a Notice of Violation Warning letter to the property owner for lighting that is not properly shielded. We will continue the enforcement process until the violation is resolved.
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.
Joy, is there an update on this one?
For investigation
Jennifer, This is a private light in the back yard of this address and is being paid for by the property owner per Duke.
Cheyenne, Have you heard about this potential street light trespass along N Orris Drive?
