The statistics for the lighting plan which are really important matrices. The minimum is 0.6, and maximum is 2.5, the average for this application is 1.3 foot candles, and then the next two (2) are critical to evaluate lighting design. The first one is the maximum to minimum, which is 4.2 to 1, and the next one is average to minimum, which is 2.2 to 1. He testified that those are far better than standard or average in terms of uniformity, so there won't be light spots and dark spots because it will all low-level uniform lighting, throughout the site with the minimum is 0.6, and the average of it being 1.3. ° Mr. Conway brought up Exhibit A2 Lighting & Landscape Plan (Colorized- Sheet #7— Revision Date — February 13, 2026) explaining that for the landscape plan is a simple foundation planting in front of the building with some loriope and some boxwood to help mitigate the front parking setback variance, an evergreen hedge along the edge of the parking to help mitigate and buffer the parking from the street was provided.
