y +:, DATE. 07/21/03 Department Approval. Manager Reviewed: Agenda Section: --7 tie, Public Hearings JL 0,7 Item Descriptions. Continued Public Nearing for City Project UL-03-1 : Oakcrest Avenue Streetlights Background: On April 7, 2003, the City Council received a petition from Roseville Properties to install additional street lights on Oakerest Avenue, from Prior Avenue to Fairview Avenue. On April 28,2003 the City council received the feasibility report that discussed the costs for the installation of these street lights. The Council set a public improvement hearing for June 2, 2003, this p ublic hearing was continued to July 2 1 st. Our street light policy is as follows: In areas where overhead power is available, the City will cover all of the costs to install a standard street light at intersections, curves in the road, hills and valleys in the road, greater than 600 feet spacing, or at dead - ends /cul -de -sacs. we have required the consent of all adjacent property owners to install one of these "administrative" lights. Xcel installs these lights on existing wood pales, and then charges the City for the operating costs. Our current "standard" streetlight is a cobra head fixture on a mast arm. Property owners make these requests about once or twice a year. We have had 22 "ornamental" street light project requests since 1 970, 3 of which were not constructed. For the most part, these projects were initiated by property owners that were interested in a higher than City standard level of lighting along their street. These additional locations or upgraded fixtures were installed with 100% of the additional cost assessed to adjacent property .. p p � owners. Additional costs include, cast to burg power, new or upgraded pales, upgraded futures, and additional energy costs for non - standard fixtures. This is how staff put together the costs for this proj ect ' s feasibility report.
