Public Hearing <br />Mayor Ramsey called the public hearing to order at 7:05 p.m. <br />Presentation <br />Associate Planner Gladhill reviewed the staff report. <br />Citizen Input <br />Don Patterson, General Manager Diamond Graphics, stated they would prefer to not have the <br />name change due to the inconvenience. He noted they have not had any issues with people <br />finding their business. He stated this would be the second address change in the past two years <br />for them. He stated if the name was changed, he preferred it not be confusing. He preferred it be <br />named all one name. He asked the Council to find another solution if the name needed to be <br />changed. <br />Councilmember Wise asked who had inquired about this street. <br />Associate Planner Gladhill stated over the years staff has received comments from people who <br />were trying to find this area, especially for motorists who had not been in the area before. <br />Councilmember McGlone did not believe the problem would be corrected. He asked if it would <br />be possible to make the change to a named street. <br />Associate Planner Gladhill stated staff had looked at this, but it was difficult to come.up with a <br />name that would not cause confusion. He noted when special names were created that were not a <br />part of the grid, especially a small segment, caused confusion in general response. <br />Councilmember McGlone recommended changing the name to something different to clear up <br />the confusion. <br />Fire Chief Kapler understood the hassle this would cause the businesses, but he believed the <br />renaming of the street was a good idea. He stated it was important to stay with the grid for <br />public safety purposes. He suggested the City could send a letter to Diamond Graphics <br />customers as to why the City was changing the name of the street. <br />Motion by Councilmember Elvig, seconded by Councilmember Jeffrey, to close the public <br />hearing. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Ramsey, Councilmembers Elvig, Jeffrey, Backous, <br />McGlone, Tossey, and Wise.
