The map attached to this letter shows the location of Ascot Park <br /> and where the light fixtures will be installed within the park. <br /> why th l ri fields P <br /> "'elds at Ascot ar k were selected for the <br /> TL,. 1 /� - .. <br /> There, arc a several =sons �•aa�' the � a� aTl� Lla. <br /> lighting project. The park offers parking and restrooms and is popular with city residents. <br /> The fields are well designed, with a buffer between the playing areas and neighboring <br /> properties. The addition of lights also was supported by both the City Recreation Division <br /> and Kidsports because it will allow all age groups to use the facility more intensely. <br /> The Ascot Park project will use the latest technology for lighting the playing fields. Energy- <br /> efficient, metal halide, low -glare lighting fixtures will be mounted on eight poles 60 to 100 <br /> feet high, allowing the lights to be angled downward so they can focus on the playing fields. <br /> This technology, combined with the many perimeter park trees, will significantly reduce light <br /> "spillage" onto neighboring properties. <br /> The manufacturer of the lighting equipment has produced a short video showing how the <br /> lights can provide lighting for the athletic fields without significantly affecting other <br /> properties. If you would like to view the video or discuss the project with City staff, drop <br /> by Public Works Maintenance, 1820 Roosevelt Boulevard, during the noon hour any day <br /> from September 27 to October 1, or call to make an appointment to see the video. No <br /> formal presentations will be made, so make an appointment that is convenient for you. <br /> If you have questions about the athletic programs offered at Ascot Park or at other City <br /> facilities, please call Dave Battaglia at the City of Eugene Recreation Division, 687 -5333. If <br /> you have questions about the Ascot Park lighting project, please call John Etter at the Public <br /> Works Parks Planning section, 687 -5325. <br /> Sincerely, ., <br /> Les L e, P.E. <br /> City Engineer <br /> encl: Map of Ascot Park area <br />
