According to new the new Cal Green law that goes into effect 1/1/2011 commercial construction can generate ZERO light leakage. How is the Council going to verify this. Ref: Cal Green Section 5.106.8
2. If this is acceptable to the Council than any Poway fields should have the ability to be lit, including Lake Poway.

That's fine. But do not take it further and add lights. Even lights that are supposed to be turned off at 8:00 pm are a bad idea - it's too easy just to leave them on later and later and later...

Subsequent councils, including the current one, must be bound by the prior committment. Property rights are too dear to be wrongfully abridged by a council majority willing to waffle on past promises for political grandstanding.

It is outrageous that they are bending to the sport groups.

If the council backs down on the lighting promise, it may just be a matter of time until 8:00 becomes 10:00. Interesting that many of the pro speakers are newer residents of Poway, I have been here since 1986, and have seen a pattern of changing public policy, it is time to hold our elected officials accountable.

Decision is defined by Webster as a final choice. A promise is only a promise when it's kept. A decision merits that action too.

In fact it is written in the plan. Let the ball players go elsewhere, like back to San Diego!

The renewal of the proposal to light Arbolitos Park is a BREACH OF TRUST with Arbolitos residents by the City of Poway and highlights a CONCERN FOR ALL RESIDENTS near any of Poway’s neighborhood Parks.

It's too, too late for us, but not for our friends who live near Arbolitos Park.

Even though our home is not impacted directly by the lights on the field, we will be impacted when the homes near the field sell below market value, as a result of the lighted field. MOST home buyers will NOT want to pay fair market for the homes surrounding the fields. Therefore, the home values in the surrounding area will suffer as well.

The dishonest backroom methods that the city council has used to push this forward will also be used to light other local parks, push large scale development, and intrude into our backyards, degrading the quality of life of all Poway residents.
