CITY COUNCIL
City Council Work Session: September 14, 2005
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
BACKGROUND
Staff provided a verbal report at the July 28 special work session that members of the McMenomy family
have requested Council consideration to rename County Road 38 as McMenomy Road when the City takes
turnback of the road from Dakota County. Council continued discussion at the August 10 work session.
ISSUE
County Road 38 is being turned back to local authority. Staff will be looking at renaming the stretch of
road that currently goes by three different names 132n Street, Bonaire Path, and County Road 38.
E B McMenomy has approached the City, on behalf of the McMenomy family, to request that this road
be renamed McMenomy Road. Included in the August 10 packet was a census document from 1920 that
shows the address of property owners along this stretch being that of McMenomy Road. The former
home of Edward McMenomy at this location is in the process of being relocated to Heritage Village on
the Dakota County Fair grounds.
Staff spoke with Maureen Geraghty Bouchard, one of Rosemount's historical experts, to determine if there
might be any competing claim to this stretch of road. Ms. Geraghty Bouchard indicated that a large area
of land was owned by Edward McMenomy on both sides of what is now County Road 38. Andrew
Keegan, for whom Keegan Lake is named, was the other large property owner in this area back in the day.
However, to the best of Ms. Bouchard's knowledge, no Keegans remain in Rosemount.
Council asked for more documentation supporting the historical basis of the request, specifically an
indication of how long the McMenomy family presence in Rosemount Attached are maps from 1879 and
1916 provided by Mrs. Bouchard that shows land holdings by the McMenomy family We are sell
researching to determine how far back the road name was in place, however older census data did not
include road names. Any additional information regarding the road name will be provided verbally at the
meeting.
Staff also contacted Dakota County and the U.S. Post Office regarding name changes of roads. Cities
have the authonty to name city- controlled streets as they wish. The Post Office indicated that they can
make whatever changes the City deem necessary. Dakota County has indicated that McMenomy Road
does not conform to the County's street naming system and, although they have no authority in the
matter, do not recommend the change. Other examples of streets that similarly break from the County's
naming system include McAndrews Road and Connemara Trail.
There are ten (10) properties that have a 135 Street address, both east and west of Akron Avenue. All ten
of these are actual residential properties that would require postal address changes. There are three (3)
properties that have a Bonaire Path address and three (3) that have a 132 Street address. Five of these
are residentially occupied properties. The Post Office has indicated that the process for an address change
would allow for dual processing of the old address and the new address for a period of one year, which
should substantially reduce inconvenience to affected addressees.
One of the questions for Council is whether the name change, whatever it is determined to be, should
apply to the entire stretch of road that was previously referred to as County Road 38 or to lust one or two
of the segments. Staff suggests that if a name change is applied, that it be applied to the entire stretch to
rrnnimize confusion.
SUMMARY
Staff requests direction on how to proceed with the request to rename County Road 38.
