CURRENT SITUATION
A new private road naming request for a proposed private access to three or more future structures for
the Sensëa Nature Spa in Chester has been received.The land owner has proposed the road name “Forest
Vale Way”.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that Municipal Council approve the road name “Forest Vale Way”.
BACKGROUND
When there are three or more addressable properties using an unnamed shared right -of-way/driveway,
the Nova Scotia Civic Address Users Guide states that this point of access must be named. According to P-
44, the road name is suggested following a majority agreement from the land owners that access their
properties by the shared right-of-way.In this instance, there is only one property owner,Sensëa Nature
Spa Ltd., who is in favor of proposing the name “Forest Vale Way”.
DISCUSSION
There are no similar road names within Chester Municipality or Lunenburg County.This is a unique road
name within the municipality and Nova Scotia.
Comments received for “Forest Vale Way”:
-Municipal Engineer –Matthew Davidson:agree with proposed name
-Chester Area Fire Department –Everett Hiltz:agree with proposed name
-District 3 Councillor –Councillor Danielle Barkhouse: no objection to the proposed name
