Each developer or subdivider shall plan for the installation of appropriate street lighting within each phase on new subdivision developments in the City. Later developed phase(s) of an existing subdivision shall be lighted with the same basic type of light source as the original subdivision for purposes of consistency. New developments shall be lighted with high pressure sodium. All subdivision lighting shall be underground fed ornamental post top lighting mounted on a decorative pole. The decorative pole must meet engineering specification standards of the C.E.I. Company. Each proposed street lamp shall be located as approved by the City as identified by the C.E.I. Company on its construction drawings for the subdivision. Such street lighting shall be installed when thirty percent (30%) or more of the subdivision is completed.
All costs associated with the installation and operation of the underground fed ornamental street lighting system shall be the responsibility of the developer for a period of three years or until such time as the development is completed. Thereafter, the operating costs for the street lighting system will be assessed to the homeowner of that subdivision. Monthly billing will be rendered by the Illuminating Company after the first full month of installation of the street lighting system and such operating costs will be added to the City's overall monthly street lighting billing. The developer shall be billed for all operating costs associated with the ornamental underground fed street lighting system in the subdivision by the City until such time as the homeowner's street lighting assessment becomes operative and is legally in force.
