light at the rear property line adjacent to the sidewalk which
runs between the homes on a 20 -foot easement was reviewed.
Mr. Bloom IT 5 S. Waverly explained that the reason he and his
neighbors want the light is because adolescents often congregate
in the mid -block walk area at night. Joe Bopp commented that
the police department has surveyed this area and has checked
various reports and can find no justification at this time for
the light. After further discussion it was the Commissions
opinion that the installation of alight at this location could
set a precedent for similar walkways in the area and that additional
staff comments should be obtained prior to any action being taken.
