Meridian officials began contemplating this name change in early 1998. With presentations and recommendations from the Mayor's Ad Hoc Historical Committee, Mayor's Ad Hoc Transportation Committee and the Meridian Chamber of Commerce Visioning Committee, the City Council decided to proceed with this change. A public hearing was scheduled before the Planning & Zoning Commission on December 6th, 2D01 and continued on December 20th, 2001 with the proper legal notifications and publications. The Planning & Zoning Commission reviewed the materials and accepted testimony for this project concluding the approval of the street name change. Upon receiving a decision for approval from the Planning & Zoning Commission, the City Council decided to hold an additional public hearing for further input. Legal notices and publications were sent out for the scheduled March 26, 2002 public hearing. As a result from the public hearing, the City Council officially approved the street name change from East 1st Street to Main Street beginning from Central Drive to Cherry Lane Road with Franklin Road dividing the north and south designation. The Ada County Highway District has agreed to place dual street signs for an interim period of 12 months. All property and business owners will have one year to transfer their addressing to the new street name. The United States Postal Services has been notified of the change butstill requires that the property and business owners submit a change of address form to them to confirm their compliance. The deadline for compliance with the street name change is one year from the date of this letter. Everyone must use the Main Street name by April 15, 2003. Respe Robert D. Corrie Mayor Meridian City Counal Meeting March 26, 2002 P~{e 20 Corrie: Yes go ahead. Bowers: Real quick. This Friday -- you saw a flyer in your box -- we graduation for our three new fireman. I hope all three of them passed week. We will have graduation at 1:00 here. Right here. Thank y participation you guys did Friday on our loss of one of our family members it. Corrie: Thank you. De Weerd: Mr. Mayor. Corrie: Ms. de Weerd. are having a their test this ou for all the . I appreciate De Weerd: I know I shared this with Kenny but it's truly impressive that the culture in the Fire Station and the way they really step up and help each other out. Friday was very impressive what they did for a fellow fire fighter and his family. I just really would like to commend your department for how you approach that. Bird: Mr. Mayor. Corrie: Mr. Bird. Bird: Let me add one other thing for it being a very close friend of the Gould family. It's not so much Friday what they did but I don't know if people realize that all those fire fighters donate their time to cover Mike's shifts for him so that he would be paid while the baby was in the hospital and stuff. I think that is true and even afterwards. I think that is just great. Some of the things in the foyers I've seen in within the city I know that this goes on throughout the city for all departments. It's just nice to say that our city people are like that. I certainly appreciate it. Corrie: Very good. Thank you Kenny. Item 6. Public Hearing: MI 01-001 Request for a Street Name Change from East First Street to Main Street from Cherry Lane / Fairview Avenue south to East Central Drive or Overland Road: Corrie: Item Number 6 this is a Public Hearing request for a Street Name Change from East First Street to Main Street from Cherry Lane and Fairview Avenue south to East Central Drive or Overland Road. At this time, I will open the Public Hearing and have staff comments first. Any comments? Chief? Is there anyone from the audience who would like to issue testimony? With that being said Iwould -have the Council any discussion on public record on the hearing? Bird: I have none. Meridian CRy Council Meeting March 26, 2002 Page 21 Corrie: Okay hearing none - De Weerd: Mr. Mayor I guess I would just like to note in the P8Z recommendation they talk about the double signs. We did reconfirm that with ACHD that that was doable and so it doesn't seem like there's any obstacle as far as that. They have recommended that it runs through to Corporate Drive and I feel very comfortable with that recommendation. That's a good starting point for the Meridian Kuna Road or Highway 69. I appreciate the work that they did and feel they have a very good recommendation. Do we have a Public Hearing on this? Cowie: We just now did and there's nobody - Bird: We have to close it. De Weerd: I move we close the Public Hearing. Bird: I second it. Cowie: Motion made and second to close the Public Hearing. All those in favor of the motion say aye. All ayes motion carried. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES Corrie: Okay (inaudible) recommendation of Planning and Zoning. De Weerd: Mr. Mayor. Cowie: Ms. de Weerd. De Weerd: I move we approve the request for name change from East First to Main Street from Cherry Lane / Fairview Avenue south to East Central Drive. To approve the recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission as it stands. Bird: I second that. Cowie: Motion been made and seconded. Is there any further discussion? Nary: Mr. Mayor. Cowie: Mr. Nary. Nary: And I don't have any disagreement with the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation. 1 thought it was excellently done this time. De Weerd: Were you on it? Meridian City Council Mewing March 26, 2002 Page 22 Nary: Yes. I was going to make note that Mr. Nichols did remind us back in February that as part of this we do need to designate if it would be Main Street North or North Main and South Main. It's just something we need to decide it doesn't matter to me. Just to make a motion it probably needs to include that. Bird: You're right. De Weerd: I think it should just be North Main. Nary: I believe all the other streets in the city are north or south. Bird: There's some -yes. Nary: So it would be awkward if it were the only street that had the direction on the end of the name in first instead of the front. Cowie: Good point. Bird: Yes. Cowie: There's northwest Eighth and North eighth. Bird: Yes but that all starts at Cherry Lane. Then you have south that starts at Overland. Nary: I think the (inaudible} the mid point was Franklin. Corrie: The mid point was Franklin (inaudible). North and south is from Franklin. De Weerd: Just North Main. Nary: So North Main. De Weerd: The maker of the motion will say North Main. Corrie: Any other discussion? De Weerd: Does second agree. Bird: Yes I agree. I'm trying to turn my computer off. Corrie: All right any further discussion? Hearing none, roll call vote Mr. Berg. Roll Call: Bird, aye; Nary, aye; de Weerd, aye; McCandless, aye.
