Item #
Date: August 25, 1992
SUBJECT: Changing street name from West Street to Story Street in
Edgewood Fifth Addition, Ames, Iowa.
BACKGROUND:
The property owner of 3615 Story Street is trying to sell this house.
During the abstracting process it was discovered that the address of the
house should be 3615 West Street. This is because the street name has
never been officially changed.
Edgewood Fifth Addition was platted in 1956. The recorded plat listed the
name of the east/west right-of-way as West Street. The attached copy of
the subdivision plat shows the location of the right-of-way that is being
discussed. Originally, the right-of-way was named West Street because it
was intended to connect to the dead end of West Street located just east of
the Crane property.
For sometime now the street has been known as Story Street and houses
fronting the street have Story Street addresses. Staff has not been able
to determine when or if the name of the street has been officially changed
to Story Street.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Direct staff to notify property owners that addresses in this subdivi-
sion will be changed from Story Street to West Street.
2. Adopt an ordinance officially changing the name of the street in this
subdivision from West Street to Story Street.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended by the City Manager that the City Council pass an
ordinance to officially name the street shown as West Street on the plat of
Edgewood Fifth Addition, as Story Street, as it is now called.
