Title
Hold a public hearing to receive comments on the renaming of one (1) state maintained road from Paul Farrington Road to Lakeside Drive in Chatham County and vote to approve
Abstract
Introduction & Background: The Chatham County Commissioners adopted an ordinance providing the establishment for the naming of roads in Chatham County, a procedure for future naming or renaming of public and private roads located in Chatham County. The Office of Emergency Operations has received one (1) petition requesting the renaming of a public road in Chatham County. This petition is in order, complete and bears the proper number of required signatures.
Discussion & Analysis: As part of its plan to develop the Enhanced-911 Emergency Response System, there is a vital need to maintain the County’s established system providing for the naming or renaming of public roads. This is important so that there can be no duplications or similarities of these assigned names within Chatham County which could result in confusion and/or delay in the response to these roads, should an emergency exist in that location.
How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan:
Budgetary Impact: The cost of road signage for these roads will be $78.00 per sign. The renaming cost will be $25.00. The maximum cost will be $103.00. The cost of the signs is budgeted in the FY24-25 budget.
Recommendation/Motion: Hold a public hearing to receive comments on the renaming of one (1) state maintained road from Paul Farrington Road to Lakeside Drive in Chatham County and motion to approve.
