A. Public street lighting is required along all public streets, including new public streets in subdivisions and fronting short subdivisions. The developer is responsible for analysis of existing light levels, design and installation of new lighting and relocation of existing lighting along the street frontage of the development.

B. All street light installations fronting the development, including wiring, conduit, and power connections, shall be located or relocated underground. This requirement may be waived at the discretion of the review engineer where adjacent utilities will remain above ground.

C. For new subdivisions, the city will accept maintenance and power cost responsibility for the public street light system when a subdivision is 50 percent or more occupied. When that occurs, the developer shall notify the city reviewer, after which the city will all accept these responsibilities. Until then, the developer shall remain responsible for the maintenance of and energy charges for the street lighting system.

D. Street illumination is required at the intersection of a private road and a public street, subject to the determination of the review engineer. No public street lighting system is required along a private road.

E. All illumination plans and specifications shall be prepared by a licensed engineer experienced in street illumination design. (Ord. 6181 § 2, 2014.)
