TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Request for Renaming Northview Drive to Miracle League Drive
DATE: December 27, 2018
A request was received from the Miracle League of Dubuque to rename Northview
Drive to Miracle League Drive in conjunction with the construction of the Miracle League
baseball field, all-inclusive playground and support pavilion to be located at Veteran's
Park. Northview Drive extends from Kane Street to the Veteran's Park entrance.
The City Council wants historically used street names to be retained when possible.
Therefore, the City requires that the applicant research any historical significance of the
existing street name. Based on historical research, there is no historical significance.
There are currently two Northview Drives located in the City of Dubuque and the
proposed street renaming will remove a street name duplication. Dubuque County and
City of Dubuque emergency services seek to avoid duplication of similar sounding
names, and to ensure that the street name is used easily during an emergency. These
agencies must review and provide a recommendation on a proposed street name
change prior to City Council action on the request. This review has been completed,
and there are no concerns with the proposed renaming.
It is the policy of the City of Dubuque that the applicant may be required to notify and
obtain support from impacted affected property owners, residents, tenants, and
businesses before the City Council grants a change in a street name. There are no
such affected parties, as there are no properties addressed off of Northview Drive.
Planning Services Manager Laura Carstens recommends City Council approval to
rename Northview Drive to Miracle League Drive.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

INTRODUCTION
This memo transmits a written requestfrom the Miracle League of Dubuqueto rename
Northview Drive to Miracle League Drive in conjunction with the construction of the
Miracle League baseball field, all-inclusive playground and support pavilion to be
located at Veteran's Park. Northview Drive extends from Kane Street to the Veteran's
Park entrance. Enclosed are location maps and a ordinance supporting this request.
DISCUSSION
Changing the names of streets in the City of Dubuque requires adoption of an ordinance
by the City Council. There are several initial steps that the applicant must take prior to
submitting a request for changing a street name.
Historical Significance
The City Council wants historically used street names to be retained when possible.
Therefore, the City requires that the applicant research any historical significance ofthe
existing street name. Based on historical research, there is no historical significance.
Review by Emergency Services
There are currently two Northview Drives located in the city of Dubuque and the
proposed street renaming will remove a street name duplication. Dubuque County and
Cityof Dubuque emergency services seekto avoid duplication of similar sounding
names, and to ensure that the street name is used easily during an emergency. These
agencies must review and provide a recommendation on a proposed street name
change priorto City Council action on the request. This review has been completed,
and there are no concerns with the proposed renaming.
Notification
It is the policy of the City of Dubuque that the applicant may be required to notify and
obtain support from impacted affected property owners, residents,tenants, and
businesses before the City Council grants a change in a street name. There are no such
affected parties, as there are no properties addressed off of Northview Drive.
1
If the City Council changes the name of a street shown on an official plat, notice of the
change must note the name or designation of each official plat affected and must then
be filed with the Dubuque County Recorder, Auditor, and City Assessor. It is the policy
of the City of Dubuque that notification of a street name change also is provided to the
U.S. Postal Service, utility companies, and Dubuque County and City of Dubuque
emergency services.
RECOMMENDATION
Planning Services staff recommends City Council approval of the enclosed ordinance
supporting the request by the Miracle League of Dubuque to rename Northview Drive
to Miracle League Drive.
