Meeting Minutes
September 8,1999
The City of Beaumont has received a request from Stephen Brown, developer of Brownstone
Subdivision and Bill Little, developer of Christina Court Subdivision to change the name of
that portion of Taft Street located in the Brownstone and Christian Court Subdivisions to
Brownstone Drive.
This portion of Taft Street that is under consideration extends from West Lucas to where it
ends in a cul-de-sac with the Christina Court Subdivision. Mr. Brown owns eight of the
eleven lots fronting on Taft in Brownstone and Mr. Little owns all the lots in Christina Court.
Mr. Brown has contacted the other two property owners in Brownstone and they have no
problem with the name change.
This application is in compliance with City of Beaumont Resolution # 88-231, Street Naming
Policy. There is neither another street with the same name nor a local street with the same
phonetic sound. The new name is for a complete street and the name represents no
commercial endorsement.

Richardson said that it did not.
