The applicant has provided signatures from adjacent property owners, all indicating agreement with the proposed name change. As recommended, the street name is not a duplication and meets all requirements of the Knox County Street Naming and Addressing Ordinance. The applicant requested James H. Davis Dr., but the inclusion of the middle initial does not meet the requirements of the Knox County Street Naming and Addressing Ordinance.
