MR. GLENN JOHNSON, 1535 W. County Road B-2: Indicated t.hat. he and his neighbors feel there are other things that should be done in their area before thinking about street lighting. The access road is inadequate, they had been promised a 12 foot median strip between their service road and County Road B-2 and only received six feet, and there should be some supervision of the rapid traffic on county Road B-2. He also presented a petition t.o the Council with 36 signatures opposing the proposed improvement bea.een HaInline and Snelling. He further said they oppose the improvement because it will light the front yards and the living rooms and bedrooms of many of the homes and will det.eriorate the value of the homes. MR. GUSTAFSON, no address given: Asked what the cost would be to operate and maintain the lights. MR. GLENN JOHNSON, 1535 w. count.y Road B-2. (Spoke before): He said that they are already getting a lot of light from the lights at Snelling Avenue and Highway 36. MR. MATT R. RUOBONIBMI, 1477 loTest County Road B-2: He faces ztmmerman Lake and said that the lighting. will light up the road in front of his home and will spoil the view. He said the street is no longer a normal village street, but a race track, and he thought the lighting should be handled in a different way. Also asked what connection the golf course had wit.h this street lighting improvement. MR. OSCAR HUSBY, 2400 North Pascal: Said he strenuously Objects to the lighting as proposed. In his opinion the light- ing would benefit only the Dayton Development Corporation. Further said that the people in his area have already been IIsacrificed enouqbll. Since he and his neighbors will not be assessed or taxed for the improvement, he believes t.his is an indication that they will not be benefit.ed by the improvement. He said that What. t.hey could use instead of the floodlighting would be a control of the speed l.f.mii:s on County Road B-2 and a four foot ledge on t.he six foot buffer between County Road B-2 and the service road to cut down t.he noise level. MR. HAROLD A. Me CARTY, 1425 W. County Road B-2: Opposed to the proposed improvement. He said t.hey bought property there and built homes there because of the view of the golf course and t.he lake. He and his neighbors feel the lighting will almost elimi- nate their view of the golf course and the lake and, therefore, will depreciate the value of t.heir property.
