�.� EN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: April 12, 2010 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members Sue Iverson, Acting City Administrator FROM: James Lehnhoff, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Prior Court/Circle Street Name Correction Action Req uest Approve Ordinance 2010-007 to rename the northern street section of Prior Court to Prior Circle in the Arden Manor neighborhood and approve publication of a Summary of Ordinance 2010- 007. Background In the Ramsey County property records, the Arden Manor neighborhood includes two discontinuous street sections named "Prior Court" (see attachment). At some point in the past, the street sign for the northern section was changed to "Prior Ci�cle." A resident on Prior Circle contacted the City with concerns about the street name discrepancy stating that it has caused issues with Post Office deliveries, documents issued by the court system, and it may be a concern . for emergency services. Staff spoke with the Arden Manor manager, and he supported correcting the discrepancy. A letter was subsequently sent in February and in March to the 19 homes on the northern section of Prior Court to find out if they were currently using Ci�cle or Cou�t. Staff did not want to create a new problem if some residents were still using the Prior Court street name. After sending the two letters and providing six weeks of notice to the residents, none of the 19 households on Prior Circle obj ected to the correction. Although the streets within Arden Manor are privately owned and maintained, Ramsey County requires an approved ordinance from the City to make the street name correction.
