ACe, S COU n Y-'P- -vic ] <br /> <br />September 29, 1995 <br /> <br />Ms. Sylvia Frolik <br />Zoning Administrator <br />City of Ramsey <br />15153 Nowthen Blvd. <br />Ramsey, Minnesota 55303 <br /> <br />Re: Street Names <br /> Northfork Oaks Second <br /> <br />Dear Ms. Frolik: <br /> <br /> This letter is written in response to discussions which took place at the <br />City Council meeting on September 26th. At that time Mr. Dale Ekegren, a future <br />Northfork resident, addressed the Council regarding the prospect of renaming the <br />two small cul-de-sacs in the plat of Northfork Oaks Second. According to the <br />City's current street plan these cul-de-sacs are currently to be identified as <br />159th Court and 159th Circle respectively. As you are aware North Fork was asked <br />to comment on this request. <br /> <br /> Mr. Ekegren's proposal is consistent with requests made by North Fork <br />from time to time to deviate from the accepted street name system. Most notably <br />the Council allowed a change from Yak Circle to York Circle. We would propose <br />renaming these cul-de-sacs to "Royal Court" a~d'"Royal Circle" respectively. <br /> <br /> In support of Mr. Ekegren's request and ours, we would ask that the <br />council consider the following: <br /> <br /> North Fork has made a consistent effort to produce an up~cale development. <br />Rightly or wrongly, and Mr. Ekegren is no exception, many buyers associate <br />upscale developments with attractive and distinctive street names which somehow <br />convey the image of the development. Numbered street names simply do not create <br />this effect. <br /> <br /> The principal purpose of a defined street name system i~ to facilitate <br />easy identification for emergency and delivery agencies. It would seem likely <br />that such agencies would have an easier time locating a Royal Court or Circle <br />which connects with Royal Road than a 159th Court or Circle which will never <br />connect with a t59th Street or Lane. <br /> <br /> ~ The 911 emergency service had indicated in the case of the change to <br />York Cirlce, that it had no problem with such a change and this situation is <br />very similar. <br /> <br /> Developed by North Fork, Inc. <br /> <br />713 Bradford Ave. No., Champlin, MN 55316 · 421-7147 · Sales - 429-8281 <br /> <br /> <br />
