why the names were changed in the COR, but changing other developments will lead to confusion, <br />and responders have enough to worry about without trying to figure out where they are going. <br />Captain Tim Frankfurth stated he agrees that names such as Quagga and Sloth are not desirable, <br />and they have not been built yet. He added another animal name using the same letter could be <br />used. <br />Captain Frankfurth stated Rabbit is a concern because it is a lengthy street, so the whole street <br />would have to be changed. <br />Councilmember Kuzma asked if these animal street names are used in other parts of Anoka <br />County, and whether changing the names would be a problem for them. He added Ramsey should <br />not deviate from the street names grid if it is established elsewhere. <br />Chairperson Riley stated the same first letter could be still be used. <br />Councilmember Johns asked whether are there other names that are not currently being used that <br />could be considered. <br />An officer confirmed this, adding he was referring to the current development. <br />Chairperson Riley stated these specific names are being mentioned because they were they likely <br />to be used in the Riverstone addition. <br />Mr. Gladhill confirmed this, adding Capstone would like to replace those four names. <br />Councilmember Johns stated she would support changing the names that do not have addresses <br />yet, such as Sloth, and only the grid within City limits. <br />Mr. Gladhill confirmed that the Public Works Commission has indicated they are not opposed to <br />staying with alphabetical animal names. <br />Chairperson Riley agreed and stated changing Puma would only affect one address. <br />Mr. Gladhill confirmed this. He added all new parcels would be based off new internal roads. He <br />added there is not a north/south road in the Riverstone addition. <br />Chairperson Riley asked whether the developer gets to pick the majority of street names. <br />Mr. Gladhill stated the City picks the street names. He added this issue will be discussed during <br />the final plat review for Riverstone at next week's City Council meeting. <br />
