Staff Recommendation

Approve the name change from Ball Camp Pike to Ball Road as requested by Knox County Engineering & Public Works.

---

1. The Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works has requested to change the street name of a section of Ball Camp Pike to Ball Road. The proposed change will affect the section of the street starting at Ball Road and ending at the west corner of parcel 091 109. The change is being proposed due to the realignment of Schaad Road.
2. Ball Camp Pike will no longer run contiguously through this area. A portion of Ball Camp Pike is being removed, so there will be non-contiguous sections of Ball Camp Pike, which is not in compliance with the Knox County Uniform Street Naming and Addressing Ordinance. The portion of Ball Camp Pike being removed runs from just west of the Byington Solway Rd intersection to the northeast point where Andes Road has forked to connect with Ball Camp Pike. This proposal is to rename the portion of Ball Camp Pike to the east of the area to be removed, changing the name to Ball Road since it connects to Ball Road on the eastern side of the subject area to be renamed (see blue road segment on Exhibit B).
3. Addressing staff coordinated with Knox County Engineering and Public Works to determine appropriate street names for these segments based on the logical extension of connecting streets.
4. The proposed street name changes from Ball Camp Pike to Ball Road will require 18 addresses to be assigned.
5. Planning has received no objections to the renaming of the right-of-way.
6. The name change meets all requirements of Knox County's Code of Ordinances, Chapter 54, Article II, Section 54-40.
