House has four very bright floodlights that shine horizontally away from the house in back, resulting in the three houses on the south side of 11th Street being drenched in glare all night long. Please ask them to at least shade the lights or reorient them so that they only illuminate their property and don't ruin the night-time for everyone else in the neighborhood.
Lights above the garage on 11th street are too bright and are aimed directly across the street directly into the houses there and they are blazingly bright all night long. Is this legal? They should point them down at least or put in much dimmer bulbs or shade them or something and stop being so inconsiderate. It's bad enough they keep spastic, maniacal, dangerous dogs tied up outside that bark for hours at a time. Now the lights are adding insult to injury.
Case #186806 is *not* "resolved". It has been over two weeks and the lights are still bright all night long. Has the City made any movement on this at all?
The owner is throwing trees into the creek, has a portapot in the road and it’s been there for years. Has a dumpster in the road that’s been there for years.
Just saw a Longview Greenway request, no issues with pavement there at current and a separate bike lane should not occur as bikes should have access to the street itself with it being a Greenway.
I am the property manager with tenants located at 111 E. 6th St. Since August 2023, I have received complaints from tenants regarding floodlights that never turn off and are located on the back side of the Tempo (formerly Village Pub) building. The floodlights are unbearably bright and are left on 24/7. The floodlights emit bright and obnoxious light into at least four of the units that I manage, as all four units have patio doors that are right across from the stained glass panel that the floodlights surround. The light from the floodlights enters all four apartments significantly, and is particularly an issue in the nighttime where the light is exceedingly intrusive. This appears to be a clear violation of Bloomington Ordinance, 20.04.090 - Outdoor lighting, which states that "Floodlights and spotlights shall be fully shielded so that the light element is not visible to an observer on any property either zoned or used for residential purposes..." I would like to request that the floodlights adhere to the ordinance and that they turn off in the evening to avoid polluting light into the units I manage.
I am a neighbor of this address. Twice in the past year, the two dogs who live at this property have been in the street and charged me and my dog. On another occasion, one of the dogs charged the property's fence and attempted to bite me by reaching *over* the fence. I have reported two of these instances to Animal Control. The last time (when the dog attempt to bite over the fence), the Animal Control officer told me that he had explained to the owners that their fence violates zoning by being too close to the sidewalk, and that the owners had expressed an intention to remove the fence in the front and keep the dogs in the back. However, I have heard, "We keep the dogs in the back" multiple times, when that is not true. The Animal Control Officer suggested that I could contact the city's zoning office, to have the fencing issue in the front yard addressed. I cannot find a way to contact Zoning specifically, so I am submitting the request here. FWIW, other people have had encounters with these dogs, though I don't know if they have reported it. Thank you.
Following up regarding the closing of ticket 1882595. The Animal Control Officer indicated that the fence was, by Zoning standards, too close to the sidewalk. (I.e., not that it wasn't tall enough.)
