Agenda Report #


TO: Mayor and Council

SUBJECT: Street Name Change

INITIATED BY: Engineering Department



Recommendation: Approve the Ordinance renaming Gunboat Drive to Chastain Drive.

Background: The Engineering Department received a request from Chastain Properties to change Gunboat Drive to Chastain Drive. There are three parcels of land that have a Gunboat Drive address, and two of them are owned by the Estate of Joseph B. Chastain. The Engineering Department sent out a survey to the only adjoining property which is not owned by the Estate of Joseph B Chastain. No response was received back from the property owner.

Analysis: There are three parcels of land that have a Gunboat Drive address.

Financial Considerations: The City will install new street name signs to reflect the name changes. The new street name signs will be paid for by Chastain Properties.

Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement: The City will be responsible for maintenance and up keep of the installed street name signs. Costs incurred will be charged to the Traffic Engineering operating budget.

Legal Considerations: Council must pass an ordinance approving the name change.

Recommendations/ Actions: Approve the ordinance renaming Gunboat Drive to Chastain Drive.
