CASE <br /> <br />PUBLIC HEARING <br /> <br /> INTRODUCE ORDINANCE FOR STREET NAME CHANGES <br />TO 145th AVENUE AND 146th AVENUE WITHIN SUNFISH LAKE ESTATES <br />By: Steve Jankowski, City Engineer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />With the platting of the Village of Sunfish Lake it has become apparent that the two <br />numbered streets (145th Avenue and 146th Avenue) in the adjacent Sunfish Lake Estates <br />subdivision are not correctly named in accordance with the county street naming grid system. <br />The attached figure illustrates the discrepancy. It can be observed that 146th Avenue in the <br />new subdivision is a continuation of that same street in the Chestnut 3rd subdivision. Within <br />the new subdivision the appropriately named 146th Lane which lies north of 146th Avenue <br />now is directly across from 145th Avenue in the Sunfish Lake Estates subdivision. Also note <br />that 146th Avenue within the Sunfish Lake Estates subdivision actually falls on the 147th <br />Avenue grid. This may be problematic for both the public and emergency services in <br />locating addresses within the area. <br /> <br />To correct this situation both of the numbered streets within the Sunfish Lake Estates <br />subdivision should be renamed; 145th Avenue to 146th Lane, and 146th Avenue to 147th <br />Avenue. Within this subdivision there are no street addresses on 146th Avenue, however, the <br />renaming of 146th Avenue would change the street name of seven existing residences. <br /> <br />Notification: <br /> <br />Notice of this public hearing has been mailed to all properties within the Sunfish Lake <br />Estates subdivision. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />The City has renamed streets in the past for reasonable cause. In 2002, portions of 153rd and <br />155th Avenues were renamed as Alpine Boulevard, and on January 1 st of this year Industry <br />Avenue was renamed Bunker Lake Boulevard. Staff recommends that the City Council <br />direct that an ordinance be prepared renaming of 155th Avenue and 156th Avenue in the <br />Sunfish Lake Estates subdivision to 146th Avenue and 147th Avenue, respectively. The <br />proposed Ordinance is attached for your information. <br /> <br />Action: <br /> <br />Motion to introduce Ordinance #04-XX to rename 145th Avenue and 146th Avenue within <br />the Sunfish Lake Estates subdivision to 146th Lane and 147th Avenue, respectively. <br /> <br />Reviewed By: <br />Director of Public Works <br />Assistant Public Works Director <br />Street Maintenance Supervisor <br />Community Development Director <br />Police Chief <br />City Attorney <br /> <br />CC: 03/23/04 <br /> <br /> <br />
