REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Agenda Section: 1. 111 1706 STAFF REPORT Report Number: 94-1349WS AGENDA SESSION DATE November 7, 1994 Report Date: 11-3-94 DISPOSITION Item Description: Street Light Petition Administrators Review/Recommendation: - No comments to supplement this repo " �.. - Comments attached. Explanation/Summary (attach supplem t sheets as nec sary.) has received a request for the installation of a streetlight from the residents of the 7700/7800 block of Eastwood Road. The requested location is directly across from the property line between 7767 and 7761 Eastwood Road or directly across from the property line between 7755 and 7745 Eastwood Road. (Please consult attached map) . The residents are concerned about some activity in the area and feel that a light would help the problem. This request does not meet the criteria of the streetlight installation policy and as such is being forwarded to the Council for special consideration. All of the property owners in the affected area have signed the petition except 2625 Highway 10. This address is a directly affected property and according to the City's streetlight installation policy, 100% of directly affected property owners are to agree with the proposed installation location of the light. Also, the petition request has not met the spacing requirements of the City's streetlight installation policy. The streetlight policy states that lights should be spaced 400 feet apart, unless certain criteria are met such as a sharp curve in the street, a long block or vandalism. Similar criteria may also apply along with evidence relating to a need for public safety. The policy also states that in no case shall lights be closer than 250 feet. There is an existing light at the intersection of County Road I and Eastwood Road which faces County Road I, a light at the intersection of Hillview Road and Eastwood Road and a midblock light between 7815 and 7809 Eastwood Road. (Please consult enclosed map) . The distance between the County Road I light and the midblock light is approximately 600 feet. If a light were to be installed across from the 7767/7761 property line, it would be 250 feet from the midblock light. If a light were to be installed across from the 7755/7745 property line, there would be about 200 feet to the County Road I light. There are poles available at both proposed locations where the light could be attached. This would reduce or eliminate the cost of installing a light. (There would still be the electricity cost) I need to confirm this with NSP. The originator of the petition will be in attendance at Monday's Council meeting to further discuss this s ecial request.
