Background The City of Bozeman received a petition from the South Meadow Condominium Owners Association, which includes 100 residential units, to change the name of Graf Street to East Graf Street. The requested street name change is for the segment of Graf Street east of Tracy Avenue. The official street name on the recorded plats is Graf Street. However, in accordance with City Municode Section – 10.07.060.A (Numbering system described; base lines), all streets and avenues running north and south shall be numbered from Main Street as a base or division line and shall be numbered north and south therefrom. All streets running east and west shall be numbered from Tracy Avenue as a base or division line and shall be numbered east and west therefrom. Therefore, all streets that cross the east-west zero baseline shall be designated with the appropriate east or west directional prefix. The east-west zero baseline is Tracy Avenue. When Graf Street was originally platted, it was not anticipated that it would cross the terminus line of Tracy Avenue. However, with the recent growth the City has been experiencing, Graf Street has crossed Tracy Avenue and not correcting the street name will yield duplication of address numbers on Graf Street, west and east of Tracy Avenue, and cause impacts to services such as mail and emergency response. Therefore, it is recommended by City staff to change the name of Graf Street to East Graf Street, for the Graf Street segment east of Tracy Avenue. Impact on adjacent properties At present, there are currently 160 addresses that would be directly impacted by the proposed name change; 100 of these addresses requested the street name change through a petition from the South Meadow Condominium Owners Association. The cost of changing the addresses for these properties is expected to be minimal, and the responsibility for covering this cost would fall to the respective property owners. The responsibility for installation of new street signs and all costs associated with new street signs, including installation and future maintenance, will be the responsibility of the City. Docusign Envelope ID: 06C51EAC-CB43-8862-8348-85EF32CC5235 Impact on Traffic & Accessibility The proposed name change will not impact the accessibility of the City’s street network. There are no known changes to the adjacent properties and no traffic impact is anticipated with the name change. The road's function and the flow of traffic will remain unaffected by the name change. Impact on Fire, Police, and Other Emergency Services If the proposed name change is approved, the City Engineering Department will notify emergency services to ensure they are aware of the update. Additionally, the City’s Geographic Information System Department will update both online and hard copy maps to reflect the change. The proposed street name change will implement a correction that will assist in providing navigation continuity for police, fire, and other emergency services. Impact on Garbage Collection and Maintenance If the proposed name change is approved, the City Engineering Department will notify the Solid Waste Department of the update. However, the impact on the City’s Solid Waste Department is expected to be negligible, as the change involves only a small number of properties and will not significantly affect their operations. Impact on Private & Public Utilities The proposed street name change will have no impact on private or public utilities. Public Comment No objections or public comment was received prior to the preparation of this report. Alternative Considerations The street name could be left as “Graf Street.” The street would continue to function as is with no changes to addresses. However, not correcting the street name will yield duplication of address numbers on Graf Street, west and east of Tracy Avenue, and cause impacts to services such as mail and emergency response. Docusign Envelope ID: 06C51EAC-CB43-8862-8348-85EF32CC5235 Recommendation Changing the name “Graf Street” to “East Graf Street” can be done without detriment to the public interest.
