The Council set a public improvement hearing for June 2, 2003. we received a petition from Roseville Properties who owns four of the six commercial properties that have frontage on oakcrest Avenue, between Prior Ave and Fairview Ave. Current City policy is to provide street lights at intersections and at 600 foot spacing along city streets at no cost to adj acent property owners. Stn ctly applying this policy, this would provide 3 standard lights at City cost. Roseville Properties is interested in having a higher level and style of lighting along this street. The proposal they requested increases the number of lights from 3 to 10, with the cost of installing the 8 new upgraded lights being assessed to the adjacent property owners. The completed feasibility report outlines four different street light style options. All options were discussed with Roseville Properties. Staff does not have a preference or recommendation for a particular style of lights, and would defer to the property owners. Roseville Properties has indicated that Option 4, shoebox fixtures with aluminum poles, is their preference. Policy objectives: Upon request, the City will pair to install street lights at intersections, curves in the road, hills and valleys in the road, greater than 600 feet spacing, or at dead- ends/cul -de -sacs.
