3. Project to light the front entrance signs (Fred Lupton)
a. For many years now we have been interested in finding a way to provide permanent lighting for our entrance signs for which the latest proposal has been to look at solar options on a commercial scale similar to the Saline Ridge entrance sign which is powered by a solar array just off Willis Rd., East of Moon. As discussed before we have hesitated doing an option of tying in with the new service provided by DTE due to the permanent expense and extreme high cost of initial installation upwards of $15,000.
i. October 2014: quote from Aarons landscaping for solar system at around $7700 but they could not find acceptable post location that would provide enough sun (southern exposure) and not be under power lines or in front yard of corner houses.
b. Current option is to come to an agreement to wire directly to the home at 9000 Yorkshire Dr.
i. Unsure if we can wire to both sides of entrance. (western sign will be priority).
