(5-0) BUSINESS FROM FLOOR STREET LIGHTS; 1435 ARDEN OAKS DRIVE Frank Dolinar, 1435 Arden Oaks Drive, questioned if the City had plans to install street lights in his neighborhood. He advised the residents in the area have expressed concern relative to the darkness in the neighborhood since the area was developed; he referred to the tragic event which recently occurred in the area and explained that since the incident, the residents have again brought up the subject of the need for street lighting. . Councilmember Malone stated the Council had adopted a three-phased street lighting plan and has completed the first phase of the plan; installation of street lights at all major intersections. He explained that the second and third phases have not been implemented to date; the second phase would include street lights in the area of Arden Oaks Drive and the third phase includes lights at cul-de-sacs. Malone noted that residents differed in oplnlon as to whether or not the lights should be installed at the secondary intersections identified on the plan, therefore, Council determined the second phase lights would be installed, at the locations identified, upon formal request by residents of the neighborhoods. He explained a formal request should be forwarded to the Public Safety/Works Committee at the City Hall; the Committee meets the 3rd Thursday of each month. Councilmember Hansen commented that the area of Arden Oaks Drive has underground utilities; the lights provided by the City are mercury vapor lights at intersections to be attached to existing poles. She noted the residents in Dolinar's neighborhood had appeared before the PS/W Committee and were not interested in this type of lighting. Hansen suggested if the neighborhood is interested in another type of lighting the costs would have to be assumed by the residents. She suggested Dolinar discuss the matter with the residents and submit a proposal for alternative lighting or a formal request for the lighting provided by the City to the Committee and Council for discussion~ .
