Commissioners adopt ordinance naming private lane 'West Lindsay Lane' for E‑911 addressing
Summary
The board adopted Ordinance 2026-06 to assign an official E‑911 name (West Lindsay Lane) to an unnamed private driveway in the 11800 block of West State Road 56, specifying the name is for emergency dispatch and mapping only and does not convert the lane to public right-of-way.
County staff read a lengthy ordinance establishing an official E‑911 address name for an unnamed private common driveway in the 11800 block of West State Road 56 and directing the county’s Address Administrator/GIS coordinator to reassign primary structure addresses for properties accessing the lane.
The ordinance text states that the naming is necessary "to facilitate rapid, effective emergency response" and that the assignment does not change the lane’s private status or obligate Jefferson County to maintain or accept the road as a public right‑of‑way. The staff reading included the phrase: "The existing unnamed private common driveway ... is hereby officially assigned and designated the E 9 0 1 public safety addressing name of West Lindsay Lane." (transcript reading).
Commissioner S3 moved to forego the second and third readings of the ordinance and then moved to adopt Ordinance 2026-06; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote. The ordinance requires notification to multiple agencies (postal service, emergency dispatch, county offices) and calls for private signage to meet county E‑911 specifications.
