SUBJECT: Resolution 2013 -56 - Street Name Recommendation
At their meeting on June 26`h, the Planning & Zoning Commission passed Resolution
PZ 13 -16 recommending the Kenai City Council rename Tustumena Street to Mudhen
Drive. Kenai Municipal Code 14.15.140 authorizes the Kenai City Council to name
streets within the City upon recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
On March 12, 2013, the Kenai Peninsula Borough E911 Addressing Officer requested
the City rename Tustumena Street in Kenai because it is an undeveloped right -of -way.
The Borough had four (4) streets in the Borough's ESN service area named Tustumena.
The Borough has renamed two (2) of the streets. The Commission was concerned with
setting a precedence in changing the name, but concurred that duplicate street names
could present a potential life safety issue with the Borough's E911 system.
After several meetings, the Commission voted (4 -1) to change the name of Tustumena
Street to Mudhen Drive. The Borough Administration has notified the City the approved
name and meets NENA standards (National Emergency Numbering Association). As
prescribed in KMC 14.15.140, that recommendation is being forwarded to City Council
for their consideration.

MEMO:

FROM:

SUBJECT: PZ13 -16 —Resolution Recommending Street Name
At your June 12, 2013 Commission meeting the Commission recommended Tustumena
be replaced with "Mudhen ". Administration contacted the Borough Addressing Officer
for approval of the name "Mudhen ". Mudhen does not meet the Borough code
requirements, but is preferred over Tustumena. The suffix will need to be changed from
Street to Drive. The new name would then be "Mudhen Drive."
The original request to change the name of Tustumena Street was sent to the City on
March 12, 2013. Since that time, the Commission has been trying to find names that
would meet approval of the Borough.
When the original request was submitted there were four (4) roads within the Borough
with the street name of Tustumena. At your June 12th meeting, Commission Knackstedt
notified the Commission that two (2) of the streets had already been renamed leaving
Tustumena Street in Kenai and the other Tustumena Lake Road in Kasilof (off Coho
Loop). Attached are two (2) maps one is the ESN Service location map and the other
shows the location and the approximate distance between the two (2) streets with the
name Tustumena.
The Commission can do the following:
➢ Take no action
➢ Recommend approval of PZ13 -16
How would the Commission like to proceed?
