Please refer to the drawings as well as the section standards when designing development street lighting. 6-2 APPLICABLE STANDARDS: The requirements listed below shall apply to the design of street lighting. Conflicts between these requirements shall be resolved on a case-by-case basis. A. All applicable standards as listed in Section 2-2 B. ANSVIES RP -8-14 Roadway Lighting C. AASHTO Roadway Lighting Design Guide 6-3 STREET LIGHTS REQUIRED: Street lights will be required for all developments within the urban area, along all streets and pathways offered for dedication, including existing streets bordering the development unless exempted by Section 6-4 below. In addition, street lights may be required for lots and parcels containing existing structures which are being improved or altered, depending on the nature and extent of the work. Illustrations of street lights generally required are shown on Design Standards Drawing 6A. 6-4 STREET LIGHTS NOT REQUIRED: Street lights will not be required under the following circumstances: A. For planned developments, residential, commercial, and industrial developments where internal streets are not offered for dedication, a street lighting system will not be required for the internal non -dedicated streets, but shall be provided by the developer on external public street frontage. B. In areas where site conditions preclude the installation of street lights adjacent to the development, the owner or developer will be required to deposit monies sufficient to design, install, and inspect street lights under the direction of the Meridian Public Works Department. These lights will be installed when site conditions adjacent to the development become more favorable or in alternate locations in the general vicinity of the development. 6-5 DEVELOPER'S RESPONSIBILITY: A. Existing street lights which must be relocated or repositioned as a result of the construction of new streets or driveways into a development are the responsibility of the developer to relocate. B. Any new services, including those with a step-down transformer, which are required as a result of the modification of an existing utility service pedestal, are the responsibility of the developer. Section 6 —Street Lighting Meridian City CouMiglG ki ndR@wjlm1J?_o19 — Page 358 of 576 [32] C. The developer is responsible to ensure that power remains to the existing street light system until the new street light system to replace it is complete and functioning correctly. D. The developer is responsible for all costs associated with creating a fully functional lighting system. E. The developer, or his legally authorized representative, is responsible for providing as -built record drawings of the street light installation as described in Section 1102 Part 1 of the Supplemental Specifications. 6-6 CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY: A. Lack of a functional street lighting system at the time certificates of occupancy are requested shall be grounds for denial of such certificates. B.

Street Lighting Standard Notes located on the City's website Land Development Services section; Standard Notes for Development Projects 6-8 DESIGN REQUIREMENTS: Street lighting shall be designed in conformance with these standards and the current editions of the ISPWC and the City of Meridian Supplemental Specifications to the ISPWC. Average maintained illuminance or luminance levels, uniformity, and veiling luminance ratios shall be designed to meet the levels specified in the ANSVIES RP -8-14 or the AASHTO Roadway Lighting Design Guide. Data and calculations verifying compliance of the above requirements shall be submitted for review, or the Design Standards included herein shall apply. Section 6 —Street Lighting Meridian City CouMBR htiRd)4&ttdRe j mcLo19 — Page 359 of 576 [331 A. Avoid excessive light trespass into neighboring residences. Utilize IES Type II distribution patterns and/or house -side shields where light trespass could be an issue. B. Coordinate street light locations on design plans to avoid conflicts with tree locations identified in the landscaping plans. 6-9 STREET LIGHT DESIGN DETAILS: Design details for street lights are as follows: A. Intersections — Intersections shall have at least one street light; this includes large commercial driveways. Intersection street light locations and the number required shall conform to Design Standards Drawings 6D, 6E, and 6F. B. Cul-de-sacs — All cul-de-sacs shall have a street light within the `bulb,' as shown in Design Standards Drawing 6E. C. Micro -paths & Multi -use Pathways — Street lights shall be placed at both ends of micro -paths and multiuse pathways. Bollard type lighting may be required along the length of the pathway per UDC 11-3A-8. In the case of properties abutting State Highway 55 (Eagle Rd), decorative pathway lighting may be required per UDC 11- 3H -4C3. D. Spacing — Maximum street light spacing shall be measured along roadway centerline and shall conform to Design Standards Drawing 6C. Maximum spacing for downtown historical poles shall be 80 feet. E. Street Light Poles — The position of street light pole bases shall conform to the Supplemental Specifications. Poles located along State Highways, within the clear zone, shall have breakaway bolts. 1. All Type 1 street light poles shall be round steel powder -coated black per the Supplemental Specifications, and conform to Supplemental Specifications Drawing TI unless otherwise directed by the City of Meridian Transportation & Utility Coordinator. 2. A davit pole may be approved by the City Engineer in place of Type 1 poles in instances of overhead utility line conflicts. 3. All Type 2 street light poles shall be square steel with bronze polyester coating and conform to the Supplemental Specifications. 4. Historical poles shall be used in the Downtown Meridian Redevelopment area and shall conform to the Supplemental Specifications. F. Luminaires — Luminaires shall be LED fixtures that are on the approved fixture list (see Design Standards Drawing 6C, note 2), or have been pre- approved in writing by the City's Transportation and Utility Coordinator. G. Service — All street light systems shall have underground electrical services provided. Service voltage shall be 120 or 240 volts only. Section 6 — Street Lighting Meridian City Coufl9awhti OrndR@4mc�01g — Page 360 of 576 [341 1. The City Engineer or authorized representative may approve overhead service in unusual areas when justification is given why service cannot be provided underground. H. Metering — All lights on arterial and collector roads (except those fully contained within a subdivision) shall be metered per Idaho Power requirements. The meters shall be contained in a service pedestal conforming to Division 1100, section 1102 of the Supplemental Specifications. Where a metered system is required, new developments shall install conduit with one No. 10 stranded pullwire from the last light on each end of the system to the adjacent property line on a stubbed street, where the adjacent property has no existing street light system. This will allow for the continuation of the street lights when the adjacent property is developed. I. Installation of Non -Standard Street Lights — Where standard Type 2 lights are required, the City may approve the use of non-standard street lights (e.g. decorative street lights not specified in the City Standards) with a written agreement between the City and Developer, releasing the City from maintenance responsibility. The City will accept responsibility for the energy cost of these street lights. A sample agreement can be obtained from the Public Works Department. 2. When the use of non-standard street lights is approved by the City, the developer shall be required to submit design calculations for the pole spacing including photometric calculations and plots showing the design meets the minimum light levels and other criteria of these Design Standards. The City reserves the right to deny use of specific light pole models. 6-10 LAYOUT DESIGN PROCEDURE: The purpose of the layout process is to establish an overall uniform street light system meeting minimum requirements. The design procedure for the street light layout is as follows: A. Identify the nearest control points (intersections, 90 degree bends in streets, large driveways, existing street lights) in each direction of travel from the street light locations being planned. Determine the location of the street lights at the control points in conformance with Section 6-9 above. B. Identify any existing street lights situated between the intersections. C. Determine the distance between control points on either end of the design area. D. Divide the distance into equal spaces between lights not to exceed the maximum spacing requirements specified in Section 6-9 above. Section 6 —Street Lighting Meridian City CouMimhti 0ndfl@wj 3Cb_o19 — Page 361 of 576 [35] E. Compare the light locations to intersecting property lines, driveways, micro- paths/pathways, and other obstructions as follows: 1. If the location falls close to a property line and it can be adjusted to the property line within the maximum spacing allowed, then the adjustment should be made. 2. Generally, street lights should be situated at lot corners for residential lots and parcels with minimal frontage (75 feet or less). The light spacing may have to be unbalanced, with additional lights being added, to attain this and still comply with the maximum spacing allowed. 3. Street light locations shall be adjusted to miss driveways, existing utility poles, trees, and other obstructions by the clearances shown in Supplemental Specifications drawing T8. F. Where street light pole installations cannot be reasonably accommodated due to existing utility -owned poles with overhead electric power lines, the serving utility company should be contacted to determine if street lights can be installed on the existing poles. G. On all streets except for collectors with metered lights, lights should be staggered on either side of the road to create better uniformity (i.e. lights on one side of the road should be located approximately halfway between lights on the opposite side). In some cases the layout may need to be one- sided due to utility conflicts. If a single sided layout is required, it will be communicated to the designer during the pre -plat or Certificate of Zoning Compliance application process. H. The layout for collector streets with metered lights should be one-sided to reduce the amount of conduit, wire and service pedestals required.
