A. Street
names shall be assigned by the developer in accordance with the guidelines
set forth in this Chapter and the requirements set forth in the local
jurisdiction's "911" procedures. All street names shall be subject
to the approval of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
1. Names
should be pleasant sounding, appropriate, easy to read so that the
public and children in particular can handle the name in an emergency
situation.
2. Large
developments should use a single, significant category; small subdivisions
should use the same category as the surrounding or adjacent area which
helps establish location identity.
3. Unacceptable
street names: numerical names (1st, 2nd, etc.); alphabetical letters
(A, B, C, etc.); frivolous, complicated or undesirable names; unconventional
spelling.
B. Similar
sounding names are considered to be duplication regardless of spelling
(such as "Beach" and "Peach", "Linwood" and "Lynwood") or addition
of a different suffix (such as Maple "Street" and Maple "Drive").
No duplication of names should occur within the projected service
area of a U.S. Post Office or local Fire and Police Departments.

B. Street
name signs approved by the Director of Public Works shall be installed
by the developer at the intersection of all streets and highways and
at such other locations as may be determined to be necessary by the
Director of Public Works.
