Minutes of Regular Council Meeting, April 28, 1986 Page 3 clinics in and near Arden Hills. The need for this additional clinic was queried. It was noted that some established veterinarians might be critical; see this as being in competition with established business in the area. Concern was expressed relative to City's liability with this clinic on City property; also, that City would seem to be supporting one veterinarian at the expense of .others. Sather suggested that the matter be referred to the Public Safety/Works Committee and City Attorney for recommendations, prior to taking action. . Three Council members indicated that they were not in favor of the clinic proposal. Parks and Recreation Committee Recommendations Council was referred to the minutes of the April 22 Park and Recreation Committee meeting.

Streetli~ht Guidelines and Lona Ran~e Street Liahtin~ Plan Paul Malone distributed a revised (4/17/86) report prepared by the Streetlight Subcommittee and reviewed early street light data and subsequent requests for lights. Malone reported that there was no written policy for street light installation prior to 1979; noted that since the policy has been in effect, requests hsve been made for lights and most have been granted - some applicants pay for the energy; some do not. . Malone displayed a map showing existing lights (State, County and City); noted that the City could end up with an excess of lights; referred Council to three possible courses of action, suggesting plan B which could be accomplished with the addition of about 200 lights, possibly installing 30 to 40 lights/year. Malone referred Council to the existing guidelines and to a suggested re-write which would also provide for street lights: -where the visibility along one of the intersecting roads is less than 150 feet. -if 50% of the residents whose property lies within 250 feet of the intersection petition for a light. -at the end of a cuI de sac or dead end street if more than 300 feet from the nearest intersection, and 50% of residents
