• <br />CITY OF LA PORTS ~ <br />INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />TO : J. x. Nudge DATE : 02-o3-sl <br />FROM: John Joern, <br />SUBJECT: Assignment d~ Addresses and Street Names for <br />Fairmont Park East, Sect. I - IV <br />History <br />In spring of 1980, a committee was appointed to study the <br />assignment of addresses and street names in the Creekmont, Glen <br />Meadows, and Fairmont Park area. In short, the committee's <br />findings were: <br />1) the addressing in the general area had become a mixture <br />of two systems. One system was based on numbers in use <br />before expansion of La Porte's city limits and consisted <br />of numbers increasing from West to East. Areas using <br />this system were Fairmont Park, businesses along W. Main <br />• and the newly consolidated Lomax area. A second numbering <br />is in use in the Creekmont and Glen Meadows area. Because <br />of the confusion caused by the two systems, the committee <br />recommended the adoption of a consistent addressing pattern <br />based on the numbering system in use in the Fairmont Park <br />and Lomax area. <br />2) The committee also felt that the similarity of several <br />street names could possibly cause problems during <br />emergency radio transmissions and encouraged a review <br />of such streets with possible suggestions for name <br />changes. <br />After reviewing the situation with the address committee <br />it became evident that a consistent pattern and method for <br />the issuing of addresses is needed. <br />By far, the majority of the homeowners businesses in <br />the area are numbered by the older system. Therefore, if <br />any address changes are to occur it is recommended that <br />they conform with this system so that as few home businesses <br />as possible are affected. Adherence to this concept will <br />also prevent future wholesale address changes if areas <br />within the. Extra Territorial Jurisdiction are annexed. <br />Attached is a short outline of the guidelines used <br />• while preparing the recommended addresses for Fairmont <br />Park East. Obviously, all the criteria could not be met <br />due to the street design in section ITT and IV. At the <br />workshop there will be a plat for council to review. If <br />Council concurs with the proposed changes, then the plat <br />will be forwarded to Eddie Gray for final drafting. <br />\. <br />• <br />
