Subject: Private Street Name Policy
Per our pervious discussions, I would like to have the Public Safety Committee consider
establishment of a policy regarding private street names. We have several private streets
in town, and to date we have treated the naming of them as we have for public streets.
Examples would be the private streets in Fox Highlands and Bristol Bay.
Lately we have been requested to approve names for private streets in other areas. One
was for the common driveway that will serve the Saravanos commercial development.
When Larry Saravanos made the request to name his driveway"Saravanos Drive", we
spoke about it and agreed that his request was logical. Some of the factors leading to our
decision were that this"roadway"would act very much like a public street, and that the
name would assist motorists in identifying the development. The naming of Saravanos
Drive has prompted a request from Tommy Hughes, who owns the adjacent property to
the north. Tommy would like to name the alley that wraps around the back of the Shell
station as "Hughes Drive", or something similar.
I recommend that we allow/approve the naming of Tommy Hughes private road as he has
requested. I also recommend, however, that we establish parameters for the naming of
private roads in the future. Suggested parameters are:
1) The land that the private road occupies would have to be platted as a parcel
separate from building lots or parking lots.
2) The pavement structure of the private road would meet the same criteria as a
public road.
3) The private road and adjacent"parkway"must be designed such that the general
public would reasonably be expected to think that it was a public road.
4) Existing private roads that serve commercial areas would not need to comply with
Item Nos. I &2 listed above.
5) Street names would not be allowed for existing or proposed private roads that are
directly adjacent to less than four existing or proposed buildings.
Please place this item on the Public Safety Committee agenda of July 8, 2006 for
consideration.
