Mounds View City Council Page F Regular Meeting October 28, 19 Councilmember Blanchard inquired as to where the streetlight is being placed, not at 5249? Minetor stated the light will not be put at 5249 without the owner's permission. Councilmember Rickaby asked if the wires would be aerial or underground. Minetor replied that the wires could be either aerial or under- ground. Normally, these wires are run along the lot line and in this case would probably be brought in from the rear lot line. Councilmember Rickaby stated she once signed a petition for a streetlight and regrets doing so. She stated that she regrets her decision because she did not check into how the wires would impact the trees on her property. The City Forester, apparently stopped at her residence and commented that he would not have allowed NSP to run wires across the backyard because NSP can come in at any time and top or cut down the evergreens and large oaks if they feel they are interfering with the wires . Rickaby states that she was not given this information when she signed the petition. Minetor stated that the City does not get involved with who signs • the petition until after the petition has been brought in. Councilmember Quick stated that he has dealt with NSP several times in the past, and that NSP has always met him more than half way with any work that had to be done. Quick stated that one has to let NSP know their concerns before the work is done. Quick stated he has an aerial power line running down the south side of his property. He has been very satisfied with the work NSP has done. Councilmember Wuori inquired as to where the streetlight would be placed. Minetor responded that there are normally three e r lac-motions tha-t—v311—mee he-eriteria forsLreeLlight installation.
