MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Clerk-Administrat DATE: March 26, 1984 SUBJECT: PLEASANT VIEW DRIVE STREETLIGHT PETITION Attached to this memorandum please find a copy of a memorandum from Frank Kampel regarding a petition received by the City on March 2nd for the placement of streetlights between 8280 and 8284, 8370 and 8380, and 9412 and 8422 Pleasant View Drive. In his memorandum, Mr. Kampel indicates that the streetlight pro- posed to be placed between 3412 and 0422 Pleasant View Drive would require the payment of $500.00 by the City of [•founds View due to the fact that a transformer is not located at this site and would require tunneling from the transformers located on either the north or south sides of this site. After reviewing Mr. Kampel's memorandum, I discussed the matter with Police Chief Ramacher and the resident who circulated the petition, who resides at 8350 Pleasant View Drive. After discussing the matter in detail with these individuals and viewing the proposed location of streetlights in both daylight and evening hours, it is my recommendation that lights be placed at the following locations: �•' 1. Between 8280 and 8284 Pleasant View Drive. 2. Between 8350 and 8360 Pleasant View Drive. 3. Between 8370 and 8380 Pleasant View Drive. 4. Between 8392 and 8402 Pleasant View Drive. The recommendation for the two lights between 8350 and 8380 Pleasant View Drive is the fact that the distance involved is in excess of 250 feet which is permissible under the resolution when a long block exists and the fact that this area of the street is quite dark due to the curvature of the road and placement of trees along the boulevard areas. The proposal for a light between 8392 and 8402 Pleasant View Drive is based on the fact that a transformer presently exists on the property located at 8392 Pleasant View Drive and Northern States Power has advised that they will place a light at the site indicated at no additional charge to the City. This will require a determination by the City Council that the light is being placed at that location over the objections of the property owner in view of the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the area. You will note on the attached drawing that a significant number of residents in the area have signed a petition for the placement of a streetlight and it would seem unreasonable for one or two residents to prevent the placement of a light which will not be harmful to anyone and would be in the best interests of all of the residents of the area.
