DATE: April 19, 2007
SUBJECT: City Council Meeting - April 26, 2007
ITEM: 11.B.1. Consider an ordinance naming FM 1460 to A. W. Grimes Boulevard
within the city limits of Round Rock. (First Reading)
Department: Planning and Community Development
Staff Person: Jim Stendebach, Planning Director
Justification:
FM 1460 now aligns with A. W. Grimes at the intersection of E. Palm Valley Blvd. It is the
City's intent to name FM 1460 upon its realignment. This street name change furthers the
City's efforts to maintain consistent street naming throughout Round Rock. Property
address numbers will remain the same. See attached map and forms for exact location of
subject ROW.
Fundin-g:
Cost: N/A
Source of funds: N/A
Outside Resources: N/A
Background Information:
Per the requirements of Round Rock City Council Resolution No. R-02-11-26-10C1, the
following has occurred: On August 1, 2006, written notices were sent to the property
owners of the lands adjacent to FM 1460 ROW within the City Limits of Round Rock.
Postage paid return envelopes and forms, to be signed and notarized, were provided to
allow these owners to let the City know their feelings on the name change. Within two
months, the City had received responses from only nine owners of the 64 letters sent out,
totaling 1.1% approval. Of the 64 owners, 38 do not address on FM 1460. Of the lots that
do address on FM 1460, there are 17 vacant lots and 9 that have a structure. We only
received one response of the 9 with a structure. We have not received any responses since
that time but have been asked several times about when the change would take place. We
recommend that Council waive their approval requirements and rename FM-1460 to North
A.W. Grimes Blvd.
Public Comment:
On May 25, 2006, City Council determined there should be public input for a street name for
FM-1460. The City's Communications Department solicited for names by the end of June.
Of three pages of suggestions, the overwhelming response was to name the roadway "A. W.
Grimes Blvd." At the end of July, City Council had approved an item "to initiate the
procedure to rename" the roadway.
