property is presently being put to a reasonable use as allowed by official
controls. Furthermore, the need for the variance, in this case, would be
created by the landowner and not due to circumstances unique to the property.

since:
a. The maneuverability of cars on the site would be difficult, if not hazardous.
b. The City's parking lot design standards would not be met.

adopted:
Street Lighting Policy
_ for the
City of Maplewood
A. General
1. This policy applies to street lights erected within the public right -
of -way for the purpose of lighting public streets.
2. Each proposed site shall be physically inspected by the Director of Public
Works to determine the feasibility of light placement and the need for
the lights.
3. All lights installed shall be owned and maintained by the electric utility
company unless said company cannot furnish said light.
4. The Director of Public Works may cause existing lights to be removed
should they be deemed hazardous or unnecessary for traffic safety.
B. Placement
Each intersection may be lit provided that no intersection light will
be placed within 200 feet of another intersection light.
2. No mid -block lights shall be installed within 600 feet of another light
on the same street.
3. A street light shall be installed at any location deemed a potential
traffic hazard by the Director of Public Works.
4. Arterial and collector streets area special case and lighting needs
are to be evaluated on an individual basis taking into account such factors
as traffic volume, driveways, intersections, turning movements, etc.
C. Type
Additional lights in an already lighted area will be of comparable size
and type, except that the City may from time to time choose a more efficient
type of luminaire.
2. All newly developed areas or large existing unlit areas where underground
wiring is present shall be lit with 100 -watt high pressure solium in
a custom residential fixture.
3. Arterial and collector roads shall be illuminated as directed by the
Director of Public Works using appropriate fixtures and luminaries com-
patible with the particular roadway.
D. Cost
1. The cost of operation of existing lighting, or individual additions thereof,
shall be the responsibility of the City of Maplewood.
2. All construction costs associated with new developments, over and above
those borne by the utility company, shall be the responsibility of the
developer.
- 12 - 2/28
3. All operating costs for a period of five years following installation
of lights in new subdivisions shall be paid to the City by the developer.
This cost shall be estimated based on the average percentage cost increase
for the preceding five years, compounded annually and applied to the
cost per light at the time said light is to be installed. Said payment
shall be satisfactorily arranged for at the time of execution of the
"Developer's Agreement."
4. In existing large unlit areas the costs, as determined for new areas,
shall apply. Said costs shall be assessed against the affected properties
within said large tracts. Initiation shall be by petition and in accordance
with M.S.A. 429.
5. All assessed costs and costs borne by the developer shall be the estimated
costs and no part shall be refundable in the event that actual costs
prove to be less than the estimated costs.
2Example: The costs per light is presently $12.55 and the average annual increase
for 1978 through 1983 was 13.7%. Therefore, $12.55 x 1.137 = $14.27
per light per month for the first year, and $14.27 x 1.137 = $16.23
per light per month for the second year, etc. equals a total of $93.78
per month for the five years, or a total of $1125.36 to operate one
light for the coming five -year period.
