ISLAND COUNTY COMMISSIONERS -  MINUTES OF MEETING

SPECIAL SESSION  -  DECEMBER 19, 2000

 

The Board of Island County Commissioners met in Special Session on December 19, 2000, at 2:00 p.m. at Terry’s Corner Fire Station, 525 East North Camano Drive, Camano Island, WA.  Chairman McDowell was absent;  Commissioners Shelton and Thorn  present. The special session was called for the purpose of conducting a public hearing on Ordinance #C-113-00, renaming various county roads on Camano Island.

 

Also present were Joe Araucto, Island County Traffic Engineer;  Rich Murphy, ICOM; and approximately five  citizens.

 

PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER ORDINANCE #C113-00 (R-48-00) IN THE MATTER OF RENAMING VARIOUS COUNTY ROADS ON CAMANO ISLAND

 

Public Hearing was held at 2:00 p.m. as scheduled and advertised to consider Ordinance #C-113-99/R-48-00 in the Matter of Renaming Various County Roads on Camano Island.

 

Joe Araucto  explained the County was removing the name of Bayview Lane, which was used as an entrance to a County park without any addresses,  and the name of Nellie Street north of North Camano Drive.  Homes on that portion of Nellie Street are addressed off of North Camano Drive so no addresses would be changed.

 

He stated the County proposed to rename East Lane to Ocean Drive and to change Center Lane to Juniper Point Lane which would include changing house numbers as well.

 

Commissioner Shelton asked      why Center Lane was not renamed to Ocean Drive to continue it, rather than change it to Juniper Point Lane.

 

Rich Murphy, ICOM, explained that a  petition from residents was received requesting to change Center Lane to Juniper Point Lane, which was found acceptable to Emergency Services.  He clarified the Addressing Ordinance was constructed based on input from dispatchers and once a second word was added, it was considered unique.   Juniper Point Lane met the qualifications. 

 

Commissioner Thorn asked if there was enough of a break in the road to indicate a new street name. Mr. Araucto clarified that the end of the former East Lane would be the beginning of Juniper Point Lane where there was a sharp turn in the road.  He stated they would place the street name sign at that point. 

 

Joan Cresap, 1316 Center Lane, Camano Island,  stated she submitted the petition to rename Center Lane to Juniper Pointe which was signed by almost everyone on Center Lane.   (She submitted additional names into the record; copy on file.)    The  residents were asked to change Center Lane to Ocean Drive a few years ago, but no one was interested.  Residents want to be identified as Juniper Beach and agreed to Juniper Pointe.    The petition was submitted  with “e” added to Point.    She understood the County required Lane be added to the end to be called Juniper Pointe Lane.  She noted that  addresses were not aligned with the odd and even numbers mixed up. 

 

Mr. Araucto explained the addresses on the proposed Juniper Pointe Lane would be renumbered to correct any discrepancies.   The County will add “e”  Point so as to read:   Juniper Pointe Lane. 

 

Commissioner Thorn asked for a clarification when road, street, or avenue, etc. would be used.

 

Mr. Murphy explained that according to the ordinance, all roads require a classification.  Roads that dead end should have a classification of Lane, Court, Way, Terrace, or Place,  while through or main streets use Road, Street, Avenue, or Drive. 

 

Ray Cresap, 1316 Center Lane, Camano Island, asked if all of Juniper Pointe Lane would become a County maintained road.

 

Mr. Murphy explained the private road extension of Center Lane would be renamed Juniper Pointe Lane, but would still remain a private road. 

 

There were no public comments on the other proposed road name changes.

 

By unanimous motion, the Board adopted Ordinance #C-113-00/R-48-00 in the matter of renaming various county roads on Camano Island, with one correction on Attachment A, Item 4, to add an “e” to  Point to read as Juniper Pointe Lane.
