A. Wagon Trace
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 one petition requesting the re-naming of one (1) private road located in Chatham County on private property. 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.
How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan:
Budgetary Impact: The cost of road signage for these roads will be $78.00 per sign. At the rate of one sign per road, this total cost will be $78.00. Chatham County’s road naming ordinance states there is a $25.00 processing fee and cost of the sign which is paid by the citizen requesting the change. We received a check in the amount of $103.00 with this petition.
Recommendation: Vote on a request to approve the re-naming of one private road in Chatham County
