<br />~ <br /> <br />asking for street lights. She then indicated that Centerville was on the Home and Garden <br />Channel because of this coved development. <br /> <br />Ms. Halstrom indicated that the single family homes have a light in every peak of the <br />curves and the twinhome side of the development does not. She then indicated that there <br />have been several near misses with dogs, kids, and strollers due to the limited visibility. <br /> <br />Ms. Halstrom indicated that one night she almost hit some debris that some kids had drug <br />out into the street. <br /> <br />Ms. Halstrom asked the Commission to recommend more street lights in the development <br />before someone gets hurt. She then indicated that the intersection where kids get to the <br />park is on the twinhome side of the development and needs to be better lit. <br /> <br />Commissioner DeVine indicated that Council was aware of the petition for streetlights <br />and commented that he did not feel it would help to have the Planning Commission <br />recommend approval. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Broussard Vickers indicated that the street lights in the development <br />were brought up a year ago and at that time it was Christmas and Council determined that <br />there were too many Christmas lights to be able to adequately judge if the development <br />was dark.

She also commented that <br />other residents could argue that their street is dark and unsafe and ask the City for street <br />lights. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Broussard Vickers indicated that Council needed to consider all the pros <br />and cons of requiring additional streetlights in the development before making a <br />determination. <br /> <br />Ms. Halstrom asked the Commission to explain the inequity of the single family homes <br />having more lights than the twinhomes. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Broussard Vickers indicated she was not sure why there were more <br />lights in the single family homes but speculated that it may be because the road is more <br />curved in that part of the development. She then commented that the City Engineer had <br />approved the design and Council had relied on the expert opinions it had at the time. She <br />further commented that there are several issues to be discussed by Council concerning the <br /> <br />Page 18 of24 <br />
