Subdivision plat for compliance with City Ordinances, staff has noted several items
which need to be addressed prior to the granting of final approval. These items are
outlined in the Staff Report of February 11, 1993.
Item IX of the staff report deals with the Development Ordinance requirement for
street lighting within new subdivisions. Staff feels that the established guidelines
being utilized currently may not be appropriate for rural subdivisions. Staff proposes
to supply additional data to the Commission prior to the final plat including
• recommendations for a new street light policy for rural areas.
