The Committee decided to solicit input <br />from the ~. blic on potential names for these two streets by running an article in the Ramsey <br />Resident.:~ The response to this article with regard to 153rd/155th resulted in an <br />overwhel ,n~ng majority of 17 Ramsey residents responding in favor of the road being <br />renamed: Northfork Drive. Other names which were suggested included Midway Road, <br />Sundancel Drive, Sunwood Drive and Mount Ramsey Boulevard. One response was <br />received Opposing the name change citing the inconvenience associated with any name <br />change. <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />With regard to Sunfish Lake Drive N.W., a total of three suggested names were received <br />by three s~eparate individuals. Thorne Drive was suggested by an anonymous individual <br />who suggested that the name was that of the individual who created Sunfish Drive. The <br />anonymO~ individual indicated that Mr. Thorne was asked about this and did not object. <br /> <br />A letter, Which is attached, was received from Mrs. Phyllis Scroggins, suggesting the mad <br />be renamed Scroggins Road. Finally one resident of the Sunny Ponds subdivision <br />suggested ,renaming the road Sunny Ponds Drive. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />The Commi~ 'tree may decide to recommend specific name changes to the Council, or it may <br />simply palls on the suggestions. A public hearing before the Council should be scheduled <br />in order for the name change to proceed. All persons adjacent to any section of the <br />roadway to be renamed should be individually notified of the public hearing. <br /> <br />Committee Action: <br /> <br />Based upon discussion. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />City Engineer <br /> <br />R&B: 07/13/93 <br /> <br />I <br /> <br /> <br />
