Cle :k- Administrator Zylla stated that in October of 1972 the Council ordered two mid block lights on Ridge Lane. NSP inadvertently omitted installing the lights. After a new request was initiated and the light stakes were stationed, a property owner in the area named Peter Hanslip objected to the lights because they would devalue his property and the light would shine into his bedroom. Based on his objection, a survey was made of the residents on Ridge Lane and it was found that 11 favored the lights as proposed, 2 were opposed, and 1 had no response. Shortly after a petition was received requesting that only one light be installed. Yet, another petition was circulated requesting that some lighting be installed. 5 Ayes
