MINUTES CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 12, 2003 Blesener indicated that he could understand Mr. Inman's desire to have the street named Inman Place. He indicated that he would likely support the request if the street did not lineup exactly with Allen Avenue. Anderson indicated that while he is sympathetic to the applicant who is putting in the road at his own cost, the road is for his benefit. Anderson stated that he agreed that to name the street Inman Place would be confusing since it lines up with Allen Avenue. Anderson felt that a monument sign would be a better idea. Inman asked about placement of a monument sign. The City Administrator indicated that the Code allows for placement in the right-of- way by license agreement with the City. Blesener stated that he understands the arguments presented by Mr. Inman, but pointed out that the Sheriff has made some good arguments as well. Blesener felt it was a better long-range plan to name the street Allen Avenue. LaValle agreed and pointed out that a monument sign would be an impressive statement. Blesener introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RF.b'O7.
