a - MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNC FROM: CLERK-ADMINISTRATCA r Q` DATE: MARCH 31, 1988 SUBJECT: WOODLAWN DRIVE STREETLIGHTS Pursuant to Council direction, staff has reviewed the street- light situation on Woodlawn Drive between Hillview Road and Sherwood Road and determined the following: A streetlight currently exists on the west side of the road approximately 500 feet south of Sherwood Road between 8000 and 8024 Woodlawn Drive. 2. Streetlights exist at the intersections of Sherwood Road and Woodlawn Drive and Hillview Road and Woodlawn Drive. 3. Conversations with Mr. Milt Anderson of Northern States Power have revealed that additional lights could be placed along Woodlawn Drive with minimal difficulty dependent upon location of power roles along the rear property lines of the properties fronting Woodlawn Drive. 4. Based upon the comments made by residents during the neighborhood meeting on Saturday, March 26 and a visual inspection of Woodlawn Drive the most desireable location for a streetlight would be oa the east side of ;:he road between 7953 and 7971 Woodlawn Drive. This would place a light 375 feet north of the intersection of Hillview Road and Woodlawn Drive and 375 feet away from the existing streetlight on Woodlawn Drive. Also, placement on the east side of the road should allow for a light pattern which would provide the most benefit to the neighborhood. The only possible negative aspect for this location is that NSP may charge the City for the cost of a power pole that would need to be placed aporoximately half -way along the side yard property line due to the long run necessary from the power pole in the rear yard. Mr. Anderson has indicated that a final determination would not be made until such time as an order has been given by the City. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Council authorization to order the placement of a streetlight on the east side of Woodlawn Drive between 7953 and 7971 Woodlawn Drive. DFP/mjs
