MEMO TO: Mayor and City Counci FROM: Clerk -Administrator DATE: April 23, 1984 SUBJECT: PLEASANT VIEW DRIVE STREETLIGHT PETITION Attached to this memorandum please find a petition we received from residents along the northern end of Pleasant View Drive for a streetlight: at eithor 8392 Pleasant View Drive or between 8412 and 8422 Pleasant Vicw Drive. You will note that the petition for a streetlight at 8392 Pleasant View Drive does not include signatures by the owners of property at 8392, 8402, or 8391 Pleasant View Drive. Therefore, it would be a requirement of the City Council per the resolutions which apply to this matter that you determine that the placement of the light is advisable in the interest of the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of that area. Should it be your decision to order the placement of a light at that location the three items listed by the petitioners as reason for their desiring the light would appear to be more than adequate reasons for determining that the light is justified in the interest of health, safety, and welfare. Attached to the original petition requesting a streetlight at 8392 Pleasant View Drive is an Addendum to the petition indicating a willingness on the part of the petitioners to support an alternate location for the light, such as, between 8412 and 8422 Pleasant View Drive should there be no assessment against the property owners for the installation of the light. As I have stated previously, NSP has advised us that they will place a light between 8392 and 8402 Pleasant View Drive at no charge to the City, however, as they would be required to trench the length of two lots and under two driveways, they would charge $500.00 for the placement of a light between 8412 and 8422 Pleasant View Drive. As it has not been my experience in the three years that I have been with the City that we have had to pay additional charges for the installation of lights and since there is no apparent precedent from past City actions on this matter it would be a determination of the Council as to whether or not the residents of the area would pay the additional charge of $500.00 for the installa- tion of the light. RECOMMENDATION: In view of the reasons stated by the petitioners for their desiring a streetlight to be located at 8392 Pleasant View Drive which would appear to satisfy the need for a determination to place a light at a location over the objections of the abutting property owners in the interests of health, safety, and welfare, the additional costs that would be charged by NSP for the location of a light between 8412 and 8422 Pleasant View and previous City Council action where a light was located further south on Pleasant View Drive over the objections of the property owner for basically the same reasons as cited by these petitioners, staff would recommend Council determina- tion that a light be placed between 8392 and 8402 Pleasant View Drive
