Title
County Surveyor recommending the Board make the finding that the proposed new road name of Bucks Bar Court is in substantial compliance with El Dorado County Ordinance Section 15.04.090 (K) Road Naming Standards which states A cul-de-sac street may bear the same name as the street it intersects, providing that the suffix is "court" (e.g., a cul-de-sac opening on Oak Street may be called Oak Court); conversely subsection (L) from the same ordinance section paraphrased states, if your road is over 500 feet in length, a suffix of court shall not be used noting said ordinance is not clear if the 500 foot limitation applies to subsection (K).
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve.

Background:
The County requires for the purposes of health and safety the residents of an unnamed private road that exceeds 500 feet in length to name their road. The residents unanimously desire to name their road Bucks Bar Court.
Reason for Recommendation:
The residents have received approvals from the fire department and the post office to use the name Bucks Bar Court. No other road intersects this unnamed road except Bucks Bar Road. We have 471 private and 61 county maintained roads that exceed 500 feet in length using court as a suffix. The Surveyor is in the process of revising the ordinance to include practical solutions that may include the Board of Supervisors approval when necessary.
Action to be taken following Board approval:
