TITLE

Vote on a request to approve the naming of a private road in Chatham County

ABSTRACT

Action Requested: Motion to approve the private drives as listed

A. Boxwood Drive

B. Starwood Drive                                                               

Introduction & Background: The Chatham County Commissioners adopted an ordinance providing for the establishment for the naming of private roads in Chatham County.  The Office of Emergency Operations has received petitions requesting the re-naming of two (2) private roads located in Chatham County in the Sunset Grove subdivision.  This petition is in order, complete and bears the proper number of required signatures.

Discussion and 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 of private 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.

Budgetary Impact: The cost of road signage for these roads will be the responsibility of the developer since they are inside of the development. 

Recommendation: Motion to approve the private drives as listed.
