<br />Council Member Travis asked how much it costs to install additional1ighting. He then <br />indicated that he thought NSP would install the light for free because he has never seen a <br />street light bill. He further clarified that the City charges the developer $1,500 to $2,000 <br />per light but he has not seen a bill from NSP for those lights. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg asked the City Engineer to look into the costs of additional street lights. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that the City Engineer would need to bill <br />the City to do so and suggested that Mr. Palzer may be able to investigate the costs of the <br />streetlights. <br /> <br />Mr. Palzer indicated that the design and layout of the streetlights in the development was <br />done by NSP and said he would contact them to discuss the matter. <br /> <br />Maym Swedberg asked Mr. Palzer to have NSP restate the recommendation for <br />streetlighting in the development. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers asked that Staff include in the letter to the <br />Association that it was the consensus of Council that the City needs to receive a petition <br />for reduced speed limit with a specific speed, a request for stop signs and the Association <br />needs to go to the Police Department for a recommendation before coming to Council. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg asked if the City has the authority to set the speed on City streets. City <br />Attorney Hoeft indicated that the City does have the authority to set the speed limit on <br />City streets and indicated that if no speed limit is set the statutory default is 30 mph. He <br />then indicated that the Police Department would probably agree that stop signs and <br />reduced speed are not going to address the safety issue the way residents think they will. <br /> <br />2. Mueller Pipeliners (Terminal Transport Building) <br /> <br />Ms. Moore-Sykes passed out a copy of the site plan because the one included in packets <br />cut off the aggregate parking lot which is at issue in this matter. <br /> <br />Brent Coatney, the owner of Terminal Transport located at 6812 20th Avenue indicated <br />his business is operating at that location but, due to economic considerations, he needs to <br />downsize his operations and is seeking approval of Mueller Pipe liners as a tenant. <br /> <br />JeffNordness of 25882 East Comfort Drive, Wyoming Township indicated they had <br />come before Council to get an idea of what needed to be done to gain approval of the <br />parking lot extension. He then indicated that the site plan is the same as the one that was <br />approved in 1998 with the exception of the fact that they intend to use an aggregate base <br />rather than bituminous because of the track vehicles. <br /> <br />Mr. Nordness indicated that he was asked at the Planning and Zoning Commission <br />meeting to obtain a letter from Rice Creek Watershed District indicating that the ponding <br /> <br />Page 15 of25 <br />
