General Business 8.05) Final Plat and Development Contract for Bohland Rusten Wood, LLC for "Rusten Wood" for Property presently addressed as 18420 8th Avenue North (200604-F) Steve Bohl stated that staff has recommended that the streets in the Rusten Wood development be named 81h Avenue and 9th Avenue. He stressed that he understands the reasoning for naming the streets this way as east/west streets are numbered and north/south streets are named. However, if the Council were to name 8th Avenue as Walnut Grove Lane and 9th Avenue to Walnut Grove Place, it would still conform to the existing street grid in the City. He noted that 8th Avenue does take a turn somewhat to the north when you're entering the development. He stated his request is based on spending a considerable amount of funds making this a nice neighborhood, and people would rather have a named street versus a numbered street. City Manager Ahrens stated that the City's addressing system is based on a county grid system, and staff is concerned about emergency access if there is a deviation from the addressing system as Mr. Bob] has suggested. Motion was made by Councilmember Willis, and seconded by Councilmember Hewitt to adopt Res2006-480) as recommended by staff. main motion to name 9' Avenue as Walnut Grove Place.
