ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MARCH 10, 20142 <br /> <br />a map to a project in St. Anthony where the Vernon style fixture was installed on a 125 foot <br />spacing. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Maurer <br /> requested the Council discuss the various street lighting options <br />and determine how the Council would like to proceed. To give the Council a general idea for how <br />the Xcel lighting options at 200 foot spacing would reduce the proposed assessment rates from <br />what is in the draft feasibility report, some typical examples showing the total assessment for all <br />improvements given the various street lighting options were provided: <br /> <br />1. Flaherty Bowl (property that the building sits on) <br /> <br /> <br />Draft feasibility report assessment approximately $20,000 <br /> <br />Xcel option with standard Colonial lights; approximate assessment $5,700 <br /> <br />Xcel option with more decorative Vernon lights; approximate assessment $9,100 <br /> <br />2. Davidson (E Street Flats site) <br /> <br /> <br />Draft feasibility report assessment approximately $84,100 <br /> <br />Xcel option with standard Colonial lights; approximate assessment $24,500 <br /> <br />Xcel option with more decorative Vernon lights; approximate assessment $38,500 <br /> <br />3. Wells Fargo <br /> <br /> <br />Draft feasibility report assessment approximately $14,600 <br /> <br />Xcel option with standard Colonial lights; approximate assessment $4,400 <br /> <br />Xcel option with more decorative Vernon lights; approximate assessment $6,800 <br /> <br />Another way to look at this would be the assessment rate per front foot for just the lighting <br />component of the project. The rates for the three options would be approximately: <br /> <br /> <br />Draft feasibility report $69.00 per front foot <br /> <br />Xcel standard option $10.50 per front foot <br /> <br />Xcel decorative option $24.25 per front foot <br /> <br />Public Works Director Maurer <br /> suggested the Council review the information and provide <br />direction to staff. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden <br /> questioned the size of the base for the Xcel light poles. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Maurer <br /> indicated the base of the poles would be approximately 14 <br />inches wide and would be made of concrete. He explained that if the Council were to move <br />forward with an Xcel light option the lights and standards would be maintained by Xcel for a <br />minimum of 25 years. <br /> <br />
