SUBJECT: Approval of Non=Standard Street Lighting Fixtures

and Paving Materials - Genstar Phase 8
(Public Works Committee Meeting July 12, 1988)

Recommendations:

That the request from Genstar to install Lumec L-29
street light fixtures and to incorporate inter-locking

paving bricks into the roadway entrance and sidewalks in
their subdivision be approved; and

That the approval be subject to Genstar accepting
maintenance responsibilities for these items for a period

of two years after their installation.

Background and Comments:

The attached letter from Genstar provides the background to
This request. Comments from staff are summarized as follows:

Lumec L-19 Light Fixture

ae Delivery time for repiacement parts is expected to be
four weeks. Additional inventory will have to be
maintained by the City.

Potential maintenance costs may be higher. Not only
are the components (poles and luminaires) about three
times higher in cost than the standard lighting
fixtures, there are twice as many fixtures per given
length of street because of the proposed shorter poies:
(3 meters instead of the standard 7.6 meter height).

The shorter poles are also more susceptible to
vandalism. Although we have been assured That the
proposed lense covers are impact proof, this claim has
yet to be confirmed locally. .

The only focal municipality which has some of these
fixtures jis Delta. Interviews with their Engineering
staff revealed that they have accepted these fixtures |
on a trial basis only. Their comments are somewhat
neutral except that they are attempting to move. away
from permitting such non-standard fixtures in their
subdivisions.
