Commission approves 'Grouse Lane' as street name for McCance Park townhomes
Summary
After discussion about readability and 9-1-1 clarity, the planning commission approved 'Grouse Lane' for a small McCance Park townhome development and struck two proposed names that county records showed were already in use.
The planning commission approved 'Grouse Lane' as a street name for the McCance Park townhome project after a short discussion about pronunciation, spelling and 9‑1‑1 clarity. Kendra, the staff member presenting the item, said the development provided three options — Vizsla Circle, Chukar Street and Grouse Lane — and that three additional suggested names had been rejected because Berkeley County records showed they were already in use.
Several commissioners said the first proposed name would be hard to spell or say in an emergency; one member recommended striking two of the options and approving the third. "I approve Grouse Lane," a commissioner said when moving the recommendation; another commissioner seconded, and the motion carried by voice vote. Staff noted the project needs only two street names; developers will be asked for additional options if necessary.
The commission's action resolves street-name selection for the small townhome project; staff will notify the developer of the approved name and record it with county addressing.
