The Different Strokes driving range on English Station Road is often cited as an example. When the site of the range came up for rezoning in 1997, Planning Commission staff cited the potential problem with the lights and asked the developer to submit a lighting plan. When state highway engineer Lloyd Seales investigated the site, he noted in the case file that although the lights were technically in compliance, the driving range was still too bright. Moore, who owns Luminations lighting company, and Patton said the lighting design at Different Strokes was doomed because the light poles are too low and there is nothing to prevent glare. Local and national lighting sources say that with good design and improving technology, sports lighting can allow nighttime activity with minimal disturbance.
