Mounds View City Council March 11, 2002 <br />Regular Meeting Page 7 <br /> <br />C. First Reading and Introduction of Ordinance 695, an Ordinance Renaming a <br />Disconnected Section of County Road J. <br /> <br />Planner Atkinson explained that when County Road J was realigned it left a portion of former <br />County Road J all by itself and residents have approached the City to ask that it be renamed in <br />order to resolve a mail and package delivery issue. He further explained that this matter was <br />discussed at a work session and noted residents had asked for a simple change to Old County <br />Road J because that would allow them to keep their house numbers. <br /> <br />Planner Atkinson indicated he had received two calls, one asking that the road be renamed to <br />Long Lake Road and another asking for something a little more attractive than Old County Road <br />J. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty asked how many residents are affected by this issue. <br /> <br />Planner Atkinson indicated there are 8 addresses on County Road J but noted he had also sent <br />notice to those residents with a property line fronting County Road J. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty clarified that five or six of the residents involved are fine with Old <br />County Road J and two residents called asking for something else. <br /> <br />Planner Atkinson indicated that one of the callers had an address on Red Oak Drive and is not <br />directly affected. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney indicated the signage in the area refers to the road as 85th Avenue NE <br />and said he feels the logical name for the road would be Long Lake Road or maintain it as 85th <br />Avenue NE. He then commented he understands the concern of not wanting to change house <br />numbers but noted if the road is ever brought up to date it would be changed to Long Lake Road. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre indicated the key component of the discussion from the work session was a <br />request for upgraded signage. He then questioned what the state would do with regard to the <br />roadway. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated he could make a request to the state but said he highly <br />doubted they would be receptive to the suggestion because there is no direct connection to this <br />section of roadway. He then indicated his Staff is prepared to change out the name plate signs <br />with whatever name Council approves. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty said he feels the most logical thing would be North Long Lake Road but <br />said he does not live over there and this is what residents have asked for. <br /> <br />Council Member Quick said he felt 85th Avenue made the most sense. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney indicated the state signs would remain the same if the City used 85th <br />Avenue. He then asked if that would get into an issue with the house numbers.
