that they do most of the traffic in and out of their house through Wheeler. I mentioned the number of speeding cars, and it does seem to be an attractive area for cars to go up and down and so forth. I would like to point out that many of the residents feel enough concern about the lighting in the neighborhood and I cite Don as a prime example of this {inaudible} to leave the lights on through the majority, if not all the night. I have, in many cases, left them on all night and there's hardly a morning I haven't gotten up seeing Don's lights on. MAYOR DEMOS: Anyone else who wishes to speak for or against? MR. JOSEPH RIVARD: The only thing I'd like to point out - that you as our Council want to do the right thing. I thin~ in arriving at the proper decision you should consider what the majority wish is on that road. Of the 26 property owners, you have the petition with l5 of those property owners who are op- posed to this for one reason or another. There are six from my poll - six homes that were in favor of it and five neutral who didn't care either way so I think you should consider those people who have voiced either one way or another and not the neutral votes, so to speak, and consider the 15 opposed to this being thrust on us in a sense, to the six families. MAYOR DEMOS: I would like to ask you one question. The original petition came in like either/or for ornamental or standard lighting. Is your petition against lighting as it is? MR. RIVARD: Per see I am sure if the village was going to thrust lighting on us that everyone would be in favor of the ornamental. I feel that, but we who have signed that petition, a vast majority, are against it per see MAYOR DEMOS: There is one question in my mind that since you have 15 signatures, that two of them that I saw quickly are immediately adjacent to lights. Therefore, they don't have a need. Would that have influenced their signature? Why be bothered as long as I have the benefit from Lydia or Wheeler?
