' OCT 1992 BOOK 87 PAGE 789 STREETLIGHTING REQUEST - 30TH STREET AT 12TH COURT (ORANGE BLOSSOM VILLAGE) The Board reviewed the following memo dated September 28, 1992: TO: James E. Chandler, County Administrator FROM: James W. Davis, P.E. Public Works Director SUBJECT: Streetlighting Request - 30th Street at 12th Court (Orange Blossom Village) DATE: September 28, 1992 FILE: orange.agn DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS The residents of Orange Blossom Village are requesting that the County install and fund a streetlight to be placed at the intersection of 30th Street and the Orange Blossom Village Entrance Road (12th Court). The Public Works staff has reviewed and evaluated this request using the approved intersection streetlight evaluation procedure. The location scored 37.6 points, which is below the 75 point minimum warrant score. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS Since the location does not meet minimum warrants, staff suggested to the manager of Orange Blossom Village that the development install an additional light at the entrance to the development near 30th. Street. Several lights currently exist within Orange Blossom Village. The alternatives presented are as follows: Alternative No. 1 Since minimum warrants are not met for a county funded street light, the request should be denied and the development encouraged to fund an additional security light at the project's entrance to 30th Street. Alternative No. 2 Approve the request and fund the streetlight for FY 93/94 budget. The cost would be approximately $180/year. RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING Staff recommends Alternative No. 1 whereby the development would be encouraged to fund a private security light to be placed at the entrance of Orange Blossom Village. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously denied the request for a streetlight and encouraged Orange Blossom Village development to fund a security light at the entrance of Orange Blossom Drive. 24
