HomeMy WebLinkAbout#19 - Renaming Part of Jade Tr. N.MAYOR AND COUNCIL COMMUNICATION DATE: 1/02/2019 CONSENT AGENDA ITEM: Rename Part of Jade Trail North to 7th Street North SUBMITTED BY: Ben Prchal, City Planner REVIEWED BY: Ken Roberts, Planning Director BACKGROUND: The Boulder Ponds Development Preliminary plan was approved September 16th, 2014. Since then the first addition, the name “Jade Trail N.” had been used to run through the entire development (north/south) with the exception of the cul-de-sacs. During the early stages of a development it is typical for an address map to be created for the entire development. Often used as a reference, this is done to help staff determine how to address additional phases. Understanding that the addressing can change, City Staff had opted to readdress a section of Jade Trl. so the numbers would be more in line with the standard City address grid instead of following number consistency for the entire street. This decision was also supported by the fire chief as the grid numbers are more important to follow than the flow of the development (further explained below). Staff is recommending the street name transition from Jade Trl. to 7th Street N. as it goes around the curve heading west (Between 5th ST. N. and Jade Cove N.) ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: The Council should decide if renaming the street from Jade Trail N. as designated on the Plat to 7th Street N. is appropriate. If not, should the lots be readdressed to be consistent with the original addressing. PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: During the initial addressing of the development the house numbers had a consistent flow to them starting at 508 on the south end of the development and going up to 695. This numbering system does make sense if one does not want to confuse people who were working their way through the neighborhood. It is understood by Staff that strictly looking at it from this stand point would be a reasonable system. However, public safety works off of a numbered grid system (see image below). If an address number is provided to public safety from dispatch that does not match the gird, it can cause confusion and possibly start them towards a section of the City that they should not be going. Because of this Staff opted to readdress the northern section of Jade Trail to an East West numbering system (previously all North South numbering) to be consistent with the established address grid. Though the street name was consistent throughout, the numbers needed to match the direction of the Street. Attempting to eliminate further confusion Staff is proposing that the northern strip of be renamed from Jade Trail to 7th St. Staff believes that by changing the street name the confusion will be limited.
