SiTMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Staff is of the opinion that the pr osed changes would help in maintaining consistency and aid in emergency response. BACKGROUND: Albany Place subdivision was rezoned in 1997 from -2 Single Family Residence District to R-3 PUD Single Family Residence District Planned Unit Devel pment. The final plat of the Albany Place subdivision Phase III was approved in 1998. The plat was ap roved and recorded with one private street named Albany Court. At the time planning staff issued add esses for this subdivision on Albany Place, East Lauren Lane, South Will Court, East Gunnar Court, an South Albany Court instead of the recarded street named Albany Court. The proposed street names ere never formally recorded; current planning staff identified the discrepancy while helping the fire d partment correct the address information for Albany Place Subdivision in their database. To correct th s problem, the planning staff proposes to formally change the street names. The following information i relevant to the proposal: 1. The streets in Albany Place Subdivision are currently being utilized as Albany Place, East Lauren Lane, South Will Court,East Gunnar Court,and South Albany Court. These streets are private streets and will remain private. 2. Albany Place runs north and south and should have the pre directionlal South to be in compliance with the City of Decatur Address Code. ' 3. According to City of Decatur Subdivision Ordinance, streets which hange direction by more than fifty(50) degrees far a distance of more than one hundred and ifty feet shall not use the same name the entire length. The recorded street named Albany Co rt makes a complete rectangle. This would be in violation of the City of Decatur Subdivi ion Ordinance. 4. East Lauren Lane, South Will Court, East Gunnar Court, and South lbany Court are all straight roads and are in compliance with the City of Decatur Subdivision O dinance. 5. This proposed street name change is to formally change the street na es from Albany Court to East Lauren Lane, South Will Court, East Gunnar Court, and South lbany Court and will not effect any existing addresses.
