The Board reviewed the information provided to them. Public Works Director Speciale informed the Board that he had spoken to the developers of Hannaford Farm and Kimball Hill and they both like this proposed design for a decorative pole. Staff has no problem with the design, as the poles are the standard used now, which is concrete and the fixtures are readily available. The Board asked that this standard be placed in the next update of the Subdivision Control. Staff agreed to do so and stated that for now the new developments coming on in would have this type of lighting also allowed for in their annexation agreement.

The Board informed Mr. Nickels that they would prefer that all the annexation be done at one time and not just a few lots at a time. Mr. Nickels stated it would eventually.
