Madison Park

One of our members is working on trying to get street lights installed on Murrayhill and White Oak.

What must happen is 25% of the residents must sign the initial request petition. Duke Energy will then do a lighting plan. That plan will go back to the residents along White Oak and Murrayhill. In order to have this implemented it will require 60% of the residents to sign off on the detailed plan.

Since this plan requires the majority of the residence living on Murryhill and White Oak to sign off on it...the board will probably endorse this project!

The police are in favor of having the lights added. We have vehicle break-ins up and down these streets. We also just this past weekend had another armed robbery of one of our members on Murrayhill Road. The lights will make it safer for everyone including pedestrians, since there are no sidewalks in the area!

Endorsement Letter

The endorsement letter is presented on the home page. Just click the link on the home page of Madison Park HOA.

STREETLIGHT PROPOSAL ?– MATT MAGNASCO
Matt is working on trying to get street lights installed on Murrayhill and White Oak. The police are in favor of having the lights added. We have had vehicle break-ins up and down these streets. We also just this past weekend had another armed robbery of one of our members on Murrayhill Road.

In order to have this implemented it will require 60% of the residents to sign off on the detailed plan.

Matt collected signatures at our meeting for the 25% portion of the petition.

One of our neighbors objected to having the Association back this initiative but feels that signatures are needed from at least one property owner in each block of each street that is to be included in the lighting plan proposal.

Marty has put this issue on our neighborhood discussion page for anyone who would like to express their opinion on this.

Mr. Doss reported that an endorsement letter from the board of directors in favor of Matt?’s initiative had been agreed upon and was in the process of being signed for delivery to Mr. Sandy Wise, Street Lighting Coordinator for Charlotte?’s Dept. of Transportation. Matt noted that the 25% initial petition to start the process will need to come off the two streets.
