Proposed Street Lighting Policy

021606 Draft Street Lighting Policy.pdf; Street Lighting Policy.pdf; 2nd |
|
Revision Street Lighting Policy.pdf; Street Lighting Policy FS 101305.pdf |
|
The second revised draft "City of Rochester Hills Street Lighting Policy" was presented. |
|
The purpose of the policy is to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of |
|
Rochester Hills, to provide for a rational means of prioritizing and planning for the |
|
expenditure of general fund dollars for street light improvements, to process the request |
|
for street lights in a fair and efficient manner, and to ensure that the new street lights |
|
installed with general fund dollars will be sited for reasons of public health and safety |
|
based on the greatest demonstrated public need. |
|
This policy was drafted by the Engineering Department and was brought forward in |
|
response to a number of requests after realizing that a formal procedure was not in |
|
place for processing the requests. This policy is to provide some methodology to |
|
process future requests. |
|
The consensus of the committee was that the policy made sense and that it should be |
|
brought forward to City Council or back to CDV. |

Conservation Easements

|
It was noted that there are a number of conservation easements which have been |
|
encroached upon. The city is in need of a procedure on how to resolve enforcement |
|
issues associated with these encroachments. |
|
Two major steps need to be followed: |
|
*An inventory of all conservation easements needs to be made of which wetland and |
|
slopes comprise 90% of them. The easements would need to be prioritized, bulleting the |
|
ones that have the greatest impact or value. |
|
*The cost of taking this inventory and the cost of enforcing the procedure would need |
|
to be calculated. |
|
It was suggested that a presentation be made to council regarding conservation |
|
easements and the cost associated with enforcing non encroachment of conservation |
|
easements. The enforcement cost would have to be presented as part of the budget. |

Residential Sump Pump Discharge
|
It was noted that this issue pertains to a number of older homes who have drainage |
|
problems due to their sump pumps. These homes had been built prior to when the city |
|
had been incorporated. This is an unresolved issue, pitting neighbor against neighbor. |
|
The discharge from sump pumps run onto neighbors' properties due to the fact that the |
|
ground is heavy and does not percolate the water. There needs to be a tool to correct |
|
this situation. |

Gateway Plan Discussion
|
Months ago, the gateway plan had been discussed. No action taken due to the fact that |
|
