Request for Street Lts by Honeywell0

From: City Engineer, John Strojan
Re: Request for Street Lights
The attached letter from Honeywell requested a driveway on Tyler Avenue
at the northwest corner of the parking lot. This request was reviewed
by Zoning and Planning and after a public hearing, recommendation was
made to the Council to deny. The Council on August 3, 1982 denied the
request.
The letter also contained a request for consideration of additional street
lights on Second Street N.E. at the two existing driveways as shown on the
attached site plan. Even though the proposed lights are technically mid
block the actual spacing would be approximately the same as a standard
short block 270 -330'. Second Street carries a high volume of traffic and
there are many entering and exiting vehicles from the parking lot to
justify additional lighting.
Respectfully submitted.

Dear Mr. Strojan:

Encl.: Dwg. 10450 -A
Honeywell
Subject: 1. Proposed Parking Lot Driveway Tyler Avenue
2. Street Lighting Study Request 2nd St. N.E.
Per our recent telephone conversation, I have prepared a drawing
illustrating the proposed driveway for the Honeywell "Green. Lot
This driveway has been suggested as a means to reduce the
congestion at the two driveways exiting onto N.E. Second Street.
We will be polling the people who park in this lot to see if the
additional driveway would be used if installed.
In the interim, we would like to know what is required to build
the driveway in the way of permits, etc.
Along the same line, we would like a study made of the street
lighting on 2nd Street Northeast at the two existing driveways.
There are presently no lights between the Tyler intersection and
the Hopkins Arches Apartments. The situation becomes quite
dangerous in the winter when the driveways are hidden by snowbanks.
Also the increased traffic due to the St. Louis Street upgrade
would seem to indicate that better lighting would be in order.
Please let me know if you need more information to act on these
two requests.
Sincerely,
:)4
