§ 154.158 STREET LIGHT STANDARDS.

   (A)   Street lights must be installed at all intersections, development entrances, and along internal streets as required by the provisions of this section. The Plan Commission may direct street lights at other locations if it determines they are necessary to provide vehicular or pedestrian safety.

   (B)   Street lights providing the illumination necessary for vehicular and pedestrian safety at all intersections within the development must be installed per the town's Construction Standards and the public utility providing the lighting. The Plan Commission may reduce the number of intersections required to have street lighting. The provision of street lights at major intersections involving collectors or arterials within the development cannot be waived.

   (C)   Lighting between intersections must be accomplished by:

      (1)   Installing street lights at the midpoint of the block or every 15 lots, whichever provides the shorter spacing between street lights;

      (2)   Installation of dusk-to-dawn lights on the street-side of each home with such lights maintained in good operating condition by the property owner in perpetuity; or

      (3)   A combination of the above options.

   (D)   If the town has established a street light standard along the street where the entrance is located, the development must install the same lighting standard. Luminaires must be shielded to prevent glare on residential properties.

   (E)   Decorative street lights may differ from the town's Construction Standards if approved by the Town Council. Decorative street lights must be installed at the expense of the developer and maintained by the property owners' association. An agreement between the town and the property owner's association is required establishing that the property owner's association is responsible for replacing the decorative street lights and poles when the original street lights installed are lost or damaged. If the town or public utility providing the lighting must replace a street light, it is not obligated to use a decorative street light.
