MEMORANDUM
September 14, 2005
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Ken Baker, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Ordinance 891, 15t Reading — Changing the name of Chapel Downs West Drive to
West Chapel Downs Drive and changing the name of Chapel Downs Drive to
East Chapel Downs Drive.
Action Requested: Consider Ordinance 891, 1" reading - Changing the street name of the portion
of "Chapel Downs Drive West" located to the west of White Chapel Boulevard
to "West Chapel Downs Drive" and changing the name of the portion of
"Chapel Downs Drive" located to the east of White Chapel Boulevard to "East
Chapel Downs Drive."
Background
Information: The Chapel Downs subdivision is located on the east side of White Chapel
Boulevard and is directly across from the Oak Hill subdivision. The Chapel
Downs subdivision was platted in 1990 and the major east -west roadway
through the subdivision was named "Chapel Downs Drive" The Oak Hill
subdivision is located on the west side of White Chapel Boulevard, ,just south
of Carroll High School (9` & 10" grades). This subdivision was platted in
1991 and the major east-west road through this subdivision was also named
"Chapel Downs Drive."
During the raid 1990's it appears that the name of road for that portion of the
Chapel Downs Drive located west of White Chapel Blvd. was changed to
"Chapel Downs Drive West." However, the portion of the roadway east of
White Chapel Blvd. remained "Chapel Downs Drive."
During the late 1990's, street signs were erected along White Chapel Blvd.
designating the roads as "W. Chapel Downs Drive" and "E, Chapel Downs
Drive" respectively. These street signs do not match the official street names,
The inconsistent naming of the streets has possibly lead to at least one resident
located in the Oak Hill subdivision having mail and other packages incorrectly
delivered to a home in the Chapel Downs subdivision with the same numerical
address.
In order to eliminate any future confusion and with the extension of Chapel
Downs Dr, West into the proposed Sandlin Manor subdivision, staff is
recommending that the official street names be changed to East Chapel Downs
Drive and West Chapel Downs Drive and that street signs be installed that
accurately reflect the official names of the streets.
