WESTPDS3.DOC
EXHIBIT F
RESIDENTIAL STREET LIGHTING POLICY
BACKGROUND:
The City intends that this street lighting policy promote the safe travel of city streets in a manner both fair and
affordable to the City and its residents. Residential street lighting promotes pedestrian and traffic safety to the
extent that the City shall approve street lighting where warranted by such concerns. Lighting requests shall come
either by recommendation of the City Engineer or by resident petition. The capital costs of residential street lighting
shall be the responsibility of those residents, or any portion of those residents, determined to be affected by the light.
NEW SUBDIVISIONS:
All lighting plans require approval by the City and the utility responsible for street light operation and maintenance.
In new subdivisions street lights shall be placed at intersections, every 300 feet between intersections where
intersections are more than 600 feet apart, and at the ends of cul-de-sacs where the distance from said end to the
intersection of the cul-de-sac where the street is greater than 300 feet. Within their developments, developers shall
also install lights to City standards at the intersections of residential streets with collector streets. The developer
shall pay the full capital cost of every light to be installed; this includes poles, fixtures, underground wiring, and all
appurtenant work. The developer shall pay operation and maintenance for the light system until the City accepts the
project, at which time the billing shall be transferred to the City. 100 or 150 watt high pressure sodium lights in
traditional or cobra-head style (as approved by the City and the utility) shall be the standard for new subdivisions.
Where a portion of the development is already lit, new lights shall match in style and wattage those already in place.
In cases where developers wish to install more lights than warranted by City policy, or wish to install non-standard
lights, monthly operation and maintenance becomes the responsibility of the development's residents through their
homeowner's association or similar organization. The City will not take over such non-standard systems, though
City approval shall still be required.
EXISTING SUBDIVISIONS:
Where traffic safety clearly warrants, a street light may be placed upon the recommendation of the City Engineer's
office. The basis of such warrants shall be a minimum Average Daily Traffic of 2000 vehicles or a layout such that,
in the City Engineer's estimation, significant improvement in safety might be obtained by the placement of a street
light. Since the benefit of such installations extends to the City as a whole, these will be done at City expense.
When residents request additional lighting for their neighborhoods, they must do so by petition - signed by 60% of
the neighbors affected by the proposed light. The affected area shall be 100 linear feet on either side of the
proposed light, on both sides of the street. The placement of the proposed light shall be specified in the petition.
Petitioners shall approach the City prior to circulating their petition to obtain direction as to where street lights are
warranted for their neighborhoods. Lights shall be approved only as they meet the following warrants for existing
subdivisions: intersections, between intersections at intervals of 300 feet where the distance between intersections is
greater than 600 feet, and at the ends of cul-de-sacs where the distance from said end to the intersection of the cul-
de-sac with the street is greater than 300 feet.
If approved, each street light shall be purchased by the affected residents. Payment shall be made prior to the
installation of the light and shall include the cost of poles, fixtures, underground wiring, and all appurtenant work.
The method of payment shall be as directed by the City Finance Department. The City shall assume operation and
maintenance costs for a light from the time it is energized by the utility.
In existing developments new lights shall match in style and wattage those already in place. If no lights be currently
in place, then 100 or 150 watt high pressure sodium lights in cobra-head or traditional style shall be the standard.
