(a) Underground Installation Required. All utilities shall be installed underground in the street right of way or within easements outside of the street right of way before the construction of the street pavement. This requirement may be waived by the Planning Commission.
(b) Street Lighting. All street lighting shall be provided by private post lamps with a minimum of a one hundred watt white bulb on a post at least five feet above pavement level, situated outside of, but within twenty feet of, the street right-of-way line. Underground power shall be provided to each such lamp and all lamps shall be energized via an approved photoelectric switch. These lamps shall be installed and operating before an occupancy permit will be granted on all newly developed lots. All post lamps shall be adequately maintained so as to ensure satisfactory operation at all times; however, an infrequent maximum period of thirty days outage shall be permitted for maintenance purposes. The City recommends that these requirements be included in the deeds for new developed lots. These requirements do not apply when subsection (a) hereof is waived.
All streets which are intended to be dedicated to the City shall also have a base level of street lighting at intersections which shall be furnished and installed at the expense of the developer. All intersection street lighting equipment shall conform to the Ohio Edison Company’s most current streetlighting material/equipment specifications and construction standards.
The following criteria represents the base level of intersection lighting required:
Minium size of luminaire | 9500 lumens |
Intensity (avg.) | 1.0 - 1.2 foot candles |
Uniformity (avg./min.) (max./min.) | 4:1 - 3.1 < 10:1 |
Upon dedication of the street, the City shall assume responsibility for operation and maintenance of the street lighting system within the street right of way.
