<br />Item No: 07D <br />Meeting Date: June 13, 2016 <br />Type of Business: Council Business <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: James Ericson, City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: First Reading and Introduction of Ordinance 920, an <br />Ordinance Renaming “Highway Avenue” to “County Road H” <br />Located within the City of Mounds View <br /> <br />Introduction: <br /> <br />On November 10, 2014, the City Council approved Resolution 8323 (attached) which <br />articulated its support of a jurisdictional transfer of Highway Avenue from MnDOT to <br />Ramsey County. In addition to the jurisdictional transfer, the County had requested a <br />functional reclassification from “B Minor Arterial” to “A Minor Arterial”, in anticipation of the <br />expanded and improved capacity designed for the Rice Creek Commons project. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />Most people know this section of roadway as County Road H, however because the <br />roadway was not owned by the Count, its name may not have reflected the “county road” <br />moniker. With the jurisdictional transfer complete, staff felt it was time to eliminate the <br />reference to Highway Avenue and formalized the commonly used County Road H <br />reference. <br /> There are three properties that would be affected by the name change—RJ Riches, <br />Lucky’s Gas Station and the Park & Ride Lot. RJ Riches expressed support for the name <br />change, Staff sent a hearing notice to the newspaper to be published on June 17 and will <br />send formal notices to the affected property owners this week in the event any would like to <br />comment regarding the name change. The public hearing would occur on June 27, 2016. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> Staff has prepared Ordinance 920, an ordinance which changes the name of Highway <br />Avenue to County Road H. Action requested for this meeting is to consider the first <br />reading and introduction of ordinance renaming Highway Avenue. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />________________________ <br />James Ericson <br />City Administrator <br /> <br />Attachments <br />1.
