Folkers,ACM/Director of Public Works SUBJECT: STREET NAME CHANGE FOR THE PORTION OF VERBA SANTA DRIVE ON THE WEST SIDE OF HIGHWAY 74 DATE: October 8, 1998 RECOMMENDATION: At the conclusion of the g public hearing,Waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. 98-127 approving a street name change, for the portion of Verba Santa Drive on the west side of Highway 74, to West Verba Santa Drive. BACKGROUND: During the development of properties, on the west side of Highway 74, a large portion of Verba Santa Drive was vacated leaving a small isolated segment. The City received a memorandum from the fire department regarding the two separate sections of Verba Santa Drive and emergency response concerns that have occurred due to the name and addressing of the street sections that are not continuous. On September 10, 1998, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 98-105 setting a public hearing on renaming the section of Verba Santa Drive west of Highway 74 to West Verba Santa Drive. This name change would affect one property on the public segment of the street and nine on the private portion of the street. On July 17, 1998,a letter and information was sent to all property owners and the adopted resolution, setting the public hearing,has been published and posted. RI LKERS, P.E.

WRIGHT, Chief Riverside Ranger Unit Subject: Conflicting Street Names "Verba Santa Drive" City of Palm Desert has two streets with the same name, one is on the east side of Highway 74 and the other is on the west side of Highway 74. See the attached map for reference. These two streets have similar and at times overlapping street numbers. Because of these circumstances, emergency responses to these areas may be delayed because of the confusion associated with close proximity and addresses on these streets. In order to avoid confusion, one of the two streets should be renamed. I would like to suggest an easy change to eliminate any confusion between these streets. I would recommend that the "Verba Santa Dr" on the west side of Highway 74 be renamed to"West Verba Santa Dr." This would hopefully avoid the confusion between the two streets. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Sincerely; '7-7Z/1- Robert A. Green Battalion Chief d v 4 iti u 6 � v 4 31%13. .-1 m b zi u c av 1,: ^v'; o , , ,,i7___.

Delays in emergency response is a serious concern that has occurred due to the name and addressing of the street sections that are not continuous. In similar situations, a complete name change for one street section is not necessarily practical, desirable nor accepted by the affected residents. The recommendation of renaming the segment of the public street, on the west side of Highway 74,to West Verba Santa Drive will accomplish both the desired result of a specific identifiable street location and retain the familiar name to the residents. I have also contacted the postmaster for comments. Any comments or questions you may have can be addressed to: Tom Bassler City of Palm Desert 73-510 Fred Waring Drive Palm Desert, CA 92260 or Phone: (760) 776-6450 Fax: (760)341-7098 • Presently we intend to bring this matter to the City Council at their September 10, 1998 meeting. Further actions, prior to an official name change, will include the notice and posting of a public - hearing.
