Recommended Action:
Recommendation
Consider Resolution No. 94-23, naming the unimproved City-owned right-of-way (alley) located west of Palm Trail between Bond Way and Witherspoon Lane (“Subject Area”) as Kenmont Lane.
Body
Background:
The request to name an alley as "Kenmont Lane" is associated with the development of the Palm Trail Estates, a townhome development under construction on Palm Trail. During the building permit review, it was determined that each unit must be addressed to the streets that the front doors face. If they face other rights-of-way, a potential delay in emergency response time could occur, creating a life-safety risk for future residents. To ensure emergency responders are able to quickly locate the correct property in the event of an emergency, the alley must be named as a unit is solely accessed from this right-of-way and one unit faces the alley.
Since the alley right-of-way is located in the first addition of the Kenmont subdivision (as defined by the 1948 plat), the name is proposed to be "Kenmont Lane". It should be noted that the project developer will be improving the remaining portion of the alley proposed for naming as Kenmont Lane.
Planning and Zoning Board (PZB) heard the request on May 15, 2023 and the Board voted 6-1 to recommend approval.
