SUBJECT:
An Ordinance Changing the Name of a Portion of Suncrest Drive to Suncrest Court located north of Wingpointe Drive located in Kane County, Aurora Illinois
PURPOSE:
The City of Aurora is requesting a street name change for a portion of Suncrest Drive to Suncrest Court located north of Wingpointe Drive.
BACKGROUND:
The City recorded The Lindens, Unit 3 in 2002. There was a discrepancy between the approved Address Plat and the Recorded Plat of Subdivision as the Plat of Subdivision did not distinguish between Suncrest Drive and Suncrest Court.
While the City has been using Suncrest Court for all the residential lot north of Wingpointe Drive, Kane County recently brought to the City's attention that the original street name on The Lindens, Unit 3 Plat of Subdivision did not properly distinguish between Suncrest Drive and Suncrest Court. Therefore, this street name change will change that portion of Suncrest Drive to Suncrest Court.
DISCUSSION:
The Street Name Change will allow the city to continue to use Suncrest Court.
IMPACT STATEMENT :
The Street Name Change will have no impact as the property owners are currently using Suncrest Court. Without this change it will impact 5 property owners as the address would need to be changed.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the Ordinance Changing the Name of a Portion of Suncrest Drive to Suncrest Court located north of Wingpointe Drive located in Kane County, Aurora Illinois
