RiveF olice Department Thomas D. Zerwas Chief of Police SAFE BER August 5, 1997 Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission 322 King Avenue Northwest Elk River, Minnesota 55330 Dear Commissioners: On February 20, 1997, the "Lighting Committee" which consists of Commissioner George Zabee, Utilities Foreman Glen Sundeen, and I met to discuss the placement of additional street lights for 1997. As authorized by the Commission, we selected fffieen (15) locations for your consideration as sites for the placement of new street lights. After this meeting, residents of the Orono Lake Third Addition made it known that they were not in favor of street lights in their development. At that point, I delayed making a recommendation to you pertaining to the placement of new street lights. I conducted a poll in the Orono Lake Third Addition and the results were that eighteen (18) of the thirty-one (31) residents who responded wanted street lights installed. However, the two (2) lights that were going to be recommended for 183rd Avenue at Denver Street and 183rd Avenue at Fresno were not wanted by a large percemage of the people who live on 183rd Avenue. On 182nd Avenue at Denver and Fresno, a large percentage of the residents wanted street lights at their comers. We, therefore, decided to change our recommendation fi.om 183rd Avenue to 182nd Avenue at the comers of Denver and Fresno streets respectively. As a result of our experience in the Orono Lake Third Addition, the Lighting Committee feels that we should not consider placing street lights in developments unless we receive a petition fi.om a majority of the residents requesting lights. 13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
