Re: Ordinance 14-09 -Changing the Name of Wichita Street to Wichita Drive
Summary
It was brought to staff's attention by the Franklin County Auditor's Office that there is a
discrepancy between the street name suffix that was issued for Wichita Street and the street
name suffix being used, Wichita Drive. The City of Dublin issued addresses for Wichita Street
on December 17, 1986. Records indicate that the majority of residents are using Wichita Drive
instead of Wichita Street. Staff believes the developer installed street signs showing Wichita
Drive. The posted sign is most likely the reason residents utilize Drive instead of Street.
On March 2, 2009, Engineering staff sent a letter to the nine residents (shown on the attached
exhibit) that would be affected by this change and requested a response by the close of
business on March 10, 2009 if they had any comments or concerns. Staff has not heard from
any of the residents. As a result, staff requests authorization to proceed with the official street
name suffix change to Wichita Drive.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 14-09 at the second reading/public hearing on April
6, 2009.
Wichita Street Changed to Wichita Drive
