Communications Received Correspondence was received for Case No. P14008 and P14010. 6. New Business/Public Hearings Case No. P14010 — 2600 Block of Frog Hollow Road, Street Name Change to Fainwood Lane. Application filed by staff to rename the 2600 Block of Frog Hollow Road from the intersection of Edgewood Drive south to the future dead end at Wears Creek. The purpose of the request is to accommodate the reconfiguration of the street network in the area and planned demolition of the bridge over Wears Creek. Mr. Barron explained that the City will soon realign a portion of Frog Hollow Road. Frog Hollow Road south of the bridge will be reconstructed to connect with Creek Trail Drive, and the northerly section of Frog Hollow Road will end at Eagle Drive, a private lane. He stated the existing bridge will be demolished and will not be replaced. Mr. Barron explained that because these sections will no longer connect, they should not have the same name. Staff proposed "Fainwood Lane" for the northerly street section because Fainwood Subdivision is accessed from this street. He stated that after receiving comments from property owners opposed to this name, staff will retract the name Fainwood Lane. Mr. Barron explained that after reviewing the comments received, staff proposes the name "Eagle Drive," since there is an existing private drive named Eagle Drive at the end of this street section. Mr. Barron explained that using Eagle Drive provides continuity and does not conflict with other street names within the City limits or Cole County. Written comments were received from the following persons: Abbe Meyers, 2707 Cedarwood Court; John Howland, 2725 Kenwood; Dale and Margaret Wimer, 2618 Frog Hollow Road; Ron Gresham, 2620 Kenwood Drive; Kenny Honse, 2719 Cedarwood Court; Donal Whitener, 2708 Briarwood Drive; Steve and Pat Amick, 2610 Tanglewood Drive. Mr. Donal Whitener, 2708 Briarwood Drive, spoke in opposition to using "Fainwood Lane," explaining that he appreciates staff withdrawing this name. He also opposed "Eagle Drive" as a name, saying that Eagle Drive is a private, gravel lane. Mr. Whitener described the section of Frog Hollow Road to be renamed as a "beautiful, tree -lined, black top road." He said the neighborhood would like to keep that continuity in the new name. Mr. Whitener said the neighborhood would prefer it to be named Tree Hollow Lane or Tree Hollow Road in keeping with its surroundings. Mr. Barron explained that "Tree Valley Lane" does not appear to conflict with other street names within the city limits or Cole County, and that staff would agree to this name. Mr. Whitener stated that he is has no opposition to Tree Valley Lane. Mr. Barron requested the Commission's approval to the City Council. Chairman Robinett asked if anyone wished to speak in favor or opposition to the name Tree Valley Lane. With no one to speak, Chairman Robinett closed public testimony. Mr. George moved and Mr. Nunn seconded to recommend approval of renaming the northerly section of Frog Hollow Road to Tree Valley Lane, to the City Council.
