changes, see below.
1. There is a conflict with the color temperatures referenced in the catalog number field (50K, 5000K) and the
description field (30K, 3000K) for the pole -mounted lighting. Revise the site plan to correct this discrepancy.

color temperature and fixture color for the path lighting. A color temperature between 2000K and 3000K would
be appropriate.

luminaire equipped with a lamp that emits 3,000 or more initial lumens shall be a full cutoff luminaire and shall
be arranged or shielded to reflect light away from adjoining residential districts and away from adjacent roads.
