All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Broussard Vickers indicated that the City Engineer and the Fire Marshall <br />would need to approve the site plan. <br /> <br />3. Coatney Enterprises - Mueller Pipeliners (Terminal Transport Building) - Site <br />Plan <br /> <br />This matter was handled earlier in the meeting. <br /> <br />4. Grassen Companies - Street Lights (Eagle Pass 2nd Addition) <br /> <br />Bert Casper of 6979 Eagle Trail told the Commission that Eagle Pass is a very unusual <br />neighborhood due to the way the streets are built with curves. He then commented that <br />the developer wanted the development that way because it is cheaper to construct the <br />roads that way and there is more land available to sell and build homes on. <br /> <br />Mr. Casper indicated that, at the time, he thought there was a benefit to the homeowners <br />too because it is an attractive neighborhood and it is nice that no windows are directly <br />across from your window. He then indicated that after having lived there for a while he <br />has determined that it is not a safe place and it is not safe because it has inadequate <br />lighting. <br /> <br />Mr. Casper pointed out that the single-family homes have 7 street lights over the course <br />of 4/1 Oths of a mile and his side of the development has 8 street lights over twice as much <br />roadway. <br /> <br />Mr. Casper explained that if a person is driving west on Eagle Trail and kids are riding <br />bikes south on Eagle Trail they are on the same road but cannot see each other. He then <br />commented that it is a very dangerous situation because kids, especially traveling in <br />groups, are very inattentive to traffic. <br /> <br />Mr. Casper told the Commission the development is dangerous because the corners are <br />not lit. He then indicated that he thinks the newness of the development allowed the <br />developer to slide as few lights as possible past the City and NSP and save themselves <br />some money. <br /> <br />Mr. Casper indicated that some of the corners are 120 degree bends and said that more <br />lighting is needed in the development. He then asked the Commission to drive over to <br />the development sometime after dark to see what he is talking about. <br /> <br />Tracy Halstrom of 6960 Dupre Road drew a diagram of the development on the white <br />board to illustrate the way the road curves and how headlights do not shine on the <br />roadway. She indicated there is a petition signed by every member of the Association <br /> <br />Page 17 of 24 <br />
