<br />Council Member Capra commented that she thought the underlayment was different for a <br />private road. Mr. Quigley indicated that the road was built to MSA standards. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that the Association has a problem with the <br />cost and ability to maintain a road. She then indicated that residents had asked, if the <br />City should decide not to take over the road, if the Association could be informed of <br />when the City reconstructs the streets in the area so the Association can join in the bid in <br />order to keep costs down. <br /> <br />Mr. Quigley indicated he did not think the roads could be changed because they were <br />approved under a PUD. Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that a PUD allows <br />for unique setbacks and can be reconsidered. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson indicated she would prefer to keep the road private as that is <br />how it was designed and the Association was set up to handle the costs for maintaining <br />the road. She then indicated that she, too, feels that the development is not any darker <br />than other neighborhoods in the City. She further commented that the City is not as <br />bright as what residents may be used to coming from a more metropolitan area. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra questioned whether there would be street lights at the <br />intersections of the new roads when houses are built there. Mr. Quigley indicated that he <br />was not sure as he does not design the lighting. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra commented that there would be another light added in the <br />existing development where it connects to the new development. <br /> <br />Mr. Quigley asked who designs the street lights. Council Member Travis indicated that <br />Xcel Energy designs the streetlights. <br /> <br />City Engineer Peterson indicated that Xcel designed the layout of the streetlights. Mr. <br />Quigley indicated that there are 12 lights. He then commented that he paid the City for <br />15 lights. <br /> <br />Council Member Travis indicated that he felt the street should remain private. He then <br />commented that he did not think the specifications were the same for public and private <br />streets because private streets do not have the subcut and draintile. Mr. Quigley indicated <br />that the street was designed to MSA standards. <br /> <br />Council Member Travis indicated that, if residents want more lighting, they should <br />petition the City and realize that they will be paying for it. He then indicated that he <br />would like the Association to consider allowing a trail through its property. <br /> <br />Ms. Lori Peterson of 7065 Dupre Road indicated the Association would consider <br />allowing the trail if the City would take over the street but otherwise the Association <br /> <br />Page 8 of 25 <br />
