Re: Road Naming, Case MLA22-00016 , road access from Cougar Run
Dear James Munn,
Our office has received your petition to change the name of a road that comes off of Cougar
Run. A road name change is a public process that will take a minimum of eight weeks to
complete.
Notification of the petition will be forwarded to adjacent property owners advising them of
your petition and providing them with an opportunity to comment. Additional road names may
be submitted at this time. Once all road name suggestions have been submitted, notification of
the petition will then be forwarded to your fire district and JEFFCOM. If the road name choices
do not meet emergency services’ standards, the petition will be returned to you so that you
may provide additional choices. Otherwise the road name will be chosen based primarily on the
clearest name for use in an emergency and secondarily on property owner preference.
The E911 Road Naming Ordinance was established to outline a method of assigning address
numbers and naming roads to provide for the safety of county citizens and property. Enclosed
is a Frequently Asked Questions handout that explains the road naming and addressing process
in more detail and a map indicating the location of the road to be named. If the map is
inaccurate, please let me know as soon as possible.
Please contact me at (360) 379-4484 or hsmith@co.jefferson.wa.us if you have any questions or
comments.
Sincerely,
Helena Smith
Planning Technician
