10 January 20, 1987 and Esther Weigel for use of the property at the above referenced address. The City Clerk has indicated that Mr. Schloer has provided all of the necessary bonds and insurance as required. The Washington County Sheriff's Office has done a back- ground investigation on the applicant, and has indicated they have no reason to recommend denial of the license application as submitted. The City Council should be aware that, currently, there is an on -sale liquor license available in the city as Esther Weigel did not renew her liquor licenses for operation of Jagdwild's for the 1987 calendar year. List of licenses to be issued: off -sale intoxicating liquor, on -sale intoxicating liquor, on -sale Sunday liquor, cigarette, and billiard license, totaling fees paid $1817.00. We would recommend approval of the above referenced licenses as requested subject to payment of any delinquent taxes, and utility bills on the property in question, as well as compliance with all require- ments of the municipal code. Motion made by Vail, Peltier seconded, that the City of Hugo issue the following licenses to Ronald J. Schloer to operate R.J.'s Restaurant and Lounge at 13891 Forest Boulevard, Hugo, Minnesota: off -sale intoxicating liquor, on -sale intoxi- cating liquor, on -sale Sunday liquor , cigarette, and billiard. All aye. Motion Carried. Mayor Atkinson asked that Attorney Johnson provide the Council with guidelines regarding when they should be considering possible rejection of an application for on -sale liquor license. Johnson stated that he would look into it and respond at a later date. 7.A. Street Light Request (Mike Dietch) On behalf of Glamos Wire Products, Mr. Mike Dietch has formally requested installa- tion of a street light at the intersection of 152nd Street and Francesca Avenue. Currently there are two street lights within one-half block from said intersection. The generally accepted practive of most municipalities is that street lights be located at intersections as opposed to mid -blocks unless there are large volumes of traffic in the mid -block, and the blocks are well in excess of 1,000 feet in length. It is generally not an acceptable practice to install street lights for the purposes of providing security lighting nor is it desirable to locate three street lights within one-half block of one another. In reviewing this site, there appear to be several alternatives that the City Council may want to consider: (1) recommend installation of additional security lights on the Glamos Wire Products site, (2) relocate the existing street light to the intersection in question at the owner's expense, (3) install new street lights as requested, and (4) leave the street lighting as currently exists. It would run the city approximately $300 to have a new street light installed at the intersection in question. The $300 would merely be the installation cost. The city will have an ongoing expense of lighting the street in question in the years to come. We have asked the on -duty (night shift) deputy sheriff to review the intersection in question and indicate any concerns he may have regarding traffic safety at said intersection. After discussion of the possible solutions to Mr. Dietch's request, the following motion was made: Motion made by Atkinson, Peltier seconded, that the City Council deny the request for a new street light at the intersection in question but allowing for the following: 1. If Mr. Dietch wishes to have the one pole in question moved easterly approximately 150 feet to cover the intersection in question, at his expense, the city would not object. The city would continue maintenance of the street light in its new location.
