Corrie and City Council City of Meridian 33 East Idaho Meridian, ID 83642 p.l 150 East Aikcns Street. Suite 6 Eagle, ID 83616 Phone: (208) 938-0980 Fax: (208) 938-0941 Ii-mail: cs-6cckym~gwestnet RECEIVED SEP 3 0 2003 City of Meridian City Clerk OfFice Re: Champion Park Subdivision No. l (Final Plat) Appeal of the Ada County Street Name Committee's Decision to Mandate the Continuation of the Street Name "Wingate Lane" for Champion Park Subdivision Deaz Mayor and Council: We respectfully request that the City of Meridian formally approve the name N. Troxel Way instead of Wingate Lane for Champion Park Subdivision. We assert that Wingate Lane does not meet the definition of a street as outlined in Meridian City Code. The Meridian City Council has discretion in approving a new name for the street, as was recently done for the El Dorado Subdivision. Wingate Lane is not maintained by, nor dedicated to, Ada County Highway District, and will never be. Furthermore, the residents that take access off of Wingate Lane have been very vocal in their opposition to development in the vicinity that might use their private lane. By continuing the Wingate name in the Champion Pazk Subdivision, we increase the likelihood of someone mistakenly turning south on Wingate Lane. We respectfully request that the name of N. Troxel Way be allowed in lieu of Wingate Lane. This request is consistent with the Meridian City Code, and we believe it is in the best public interest to do so. The theme of the entire subdivision is sports-oriented, and the naming of the primary entrance is very important to our client The following excerpts from Meridian City Code support this request: 8-2-3: DEFINITIONS: STREET: A right of way which provides vehicular and pedestrian access to adjacent properties, the dedication and maintenance of which the Ada County Highway District has accepted by official action (emphasis added). It shall include the terms 0:120031301 I1MeridianCC.doc SEP 30 '03 17:46 2089380941 PRGE.01 Sep 30 03 05:33p Mayor and City Council September 30, 2003 Page 2 2089380941 p,2 "street", "drive", "court", "circle", "private street", "road", "avenue", "boulevard", "lane", "place" and other such terms. (Ord. 271, 11-4-1974) 8-2-5: DESIGNATION OF STREET NAMES: A. Standards: The following standards shall be used in determining or approving street names: 6. Existing Names, Preference: Where the proposed street is on the same alignment, and is a continuation of an existing street, the name of the existing street shalt be applied.

C. Subdivisions: 3. Overall Theme: Subdividers shall be encouraged to use an overall theme when naming their streets (emphasis added). Attached is a copy of the Ada County Slreet Name Evaluation approving the name of Troxel. The plat is at the Ada County Engineer's office awaiting his signature, and he will not sign the plat without your approval of the street name. Thank you for your consideration of this request. We would appreciate your favorable decision.
