Susie Morris, Planning and Zoning Manager, presented the following information relating to a proposed street name change. Bonanza Drive was originally a single street, but several years ago, was split into two separate sections. The road is not continuous and the middle section is heavily wooded. One section of the street is accessed from Mount Pleasant Road South and the other section is accessed from Wagonwheel Drive. Both of sections of Bonanza dead end, making it impossible to drive from Mount Pleasant Road South to Wagonwheel using Bonanza or vice versa. Please see the attached map. The split in the street is causing problems with first- responders locating E911 calls on the section of Bonanza Drive that continues on to Wagonwheel Lane because it cannot be accessed from Mount Pleasant Road South using Bonanza Drive on account of the wooded area. Wagonwheel Lane changes to Bonanza Drive halfway down the street when accessed from Wagonwheel Lane and is a dead end. Due to public safety concerns, the addresses on the section of Bonanza Drive that continues on to Wagonwheel Lane need to be changed to Wagonwheel Lane. This will provide one continuous street for E911 response. The section of Bonanza Drive that is accessed from Mount Pleasant Road South will remain as Bonanza Drive. Ms. Morris stated a public hearing is required. She also responded to questions from the Board. Chairman Poole requested letters be sent to the addresses so that any renters occupying the properties are properly notified.
