Meridian, Idaho 83642
Subject: Proposed Street Name Change: S. Darlington Way to S. Lyford Ave.
SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF CONCERN
We have been notified by the Ada County Sheriff's Dept. 911 Call Center of their continuing concern
regarding the street name of S. Darlington Way, located in Kingsbridge Subdivision.
Emergency response concerns have been raised due to the intersection of S. Darlington Way with the
duplicate name of E. Darlington Dr. (see Vicinity Map attachment).
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION
It is the recommendation of the Ada County Street Name Committee (comprised of representatives of
Meridian Land Development, Meridian Fire Department, Ada County Highway District, Ada County
Assessor's Land Records Division, and the Ada County Sheriff's Dept. 911 Call Center) that before
additional construction in this areas takes place, the street name of S. Darlington Way be changed to S.
Lyford Ave.
DETERMINING FACTORS
The recommendation to change the street name of S. Darlington Way, as opposed to E. Darlington Dr.,
comes after a review of the following:
a. 21ots (one existing home & one vacant lot) are located along S. Darlington Way. The
Kingsbridge #1 Subdivision plat was recorded in 2006.
b. 8 lots (one existing home, two homes under construction & 5 vacant lots) are located along E.
Darlington Dr. The Kingsbridge #2 Subdivision was recorded in 2011.
In adherence to Title 8-Chapter 2-Section 5 of the City's Uniform Street Name & Address Number Code
(see Code attachment), the determining factor has been to change the street with the fewest residents
affected.

9. Change In Direction: If a street makes a very obvious change in direction, a new street name shall
be assigned. Whenever this situation occurs, the change of street name should occur at an
intersection rather than the point where the direction changes.
B. Private Streets:
1. Official List: Officially accepted private streets (lanes) shall be listed on the official Ada County
street name list with the accompanying designation of "private". Applications for private street
names must be made to and approved by the Ada County highway district. Names used must not
conflict with any existing street names, public or private.
2. Street Signs:
a. The Ada County highway district shall make, install and maintain street signs on private streets at
approved locations. The financial obligations for the sign or signs shall be the owners of
properties which front upon such streets.
b. Any private street off of an officially accepted streetshall have signs indicating its name and status
as "private". (Ord. 271, 11-4-1974)
C. Subdivisions':
1. Shown On Plats: Proposed subdivision street names shall be shown on preliminary and final
subdivision plats when submitted to the planning and zoning commission. The commission shall not
approve such plats until the street names have been checked against the official street name map
and list. (Ord. 271, 11-4-1974; amd. 1999 Code)
2. Partial And Half Streets: All half streets or partial streets shall be named in accordance with the
definitions here noted.
3. Overall Theme: Subdividers shall be encouraged to use an overall theme when naming their
streets.
4. Determination Of Names: It shall be the decision of the commission, by recommendation of the Ada
County highway district, to determine what name is to be used when two (2) or more streets are in
alignment.
5. Plat Approval: No plat shall be approved by the council for filing until all provisions of this chapter
have been complied with. Approval of a final plat for filing in the county recorder's office shall
constitute acceptance of all street names shown thereon.
6. Street Signs: It shall be the responsibility of any subdivider dedicating a new street to finance street
name signs at each and every intersection.
D. Changes In Street Names:
1. Reasons For Change: Where necessary or desirable, applications may be made to the commission
to change a street name, or the commission may do so at its discretion, for reasons of duplication,
similar pronunciation or spelling, or for other reasons relating to public safety or convenience.
2. Commission Determination: In the case of street name changes necessitated due to duplication,
similar pronunciation or spelling, the Commission, upon recommendation of the Ada County
Highway District, shall determine the street to be changed and select the new name to be used. In
so doing, the Commission shall take into consideration the number of existing addresses on the

streets in question, the length of time each street has used the name in question, the date of the
original dedication of said streets and any other factors pertinent to the changes in question. The
Commission may hold public hearings on such changes.
3. Check With Official Map And List: No street names may be changed until the proposed ones have
been checked with the official street name map and list.
4. Avoid Inconvenience: All changes shall be made in such a manner so as to create the least
possible inconvenience to residents and property owners in the area. No change shall become
effective for at least thirty (30) days after official action by the Commission.
5. Signs; Location And Lettering: All street name signs shall be located in such manner as to be
clearly visible to persons operating vehicles on the road. The lettering of the street name shall be a
minimum of three and one-half inches (3~/Z") in height; however, all letters designating north, south,
east or west shall be two inches (2") in height. All lettering shall be of such color and width to
contrast sharply with the board or plate upon which the lettering is placed. Said board or plate shall
be a minimum of six inches (6") in width. All street name signs shall have the street names lettered
on both sides and shall be so positioned that the name is visible from both directions of the street.
(Ord. 271, 11-4-1974)
