The right to name or rename streets within the
Township is reserved to the Township Council.
Any developer or individual seeking approval
to name a new street or rename an existing street shall make application
to the Township Clerk on the forms prescribed by Florence Township.
The Township Council shall not act to approve
a new street name until the Township Clerk shall report that the proposed
name has been submitted to the Chief of Police, the Florence Township
Fire Marshal, the Burlington County 911 Coordinator, and the United
States Postal Service Postmaster for the zip code in which the proposed
street is located and that each has confirmed that the proposed street
name does not duplicate or so nearly duplicates in spelling or phonetic
sound as to be confused with the names of existing streets served
by all zip codes in Florence Township.
Applications seeking the designation of new
street names shall be submitted to and have final approval prior to
the developer receiving preliminary subdivision approval. Florence
Township shall not be bound by any proposed street names that are
part of sales agreements between the developer and the property owner(s).
The approval shall be in the form of a resolution adopted by the Township
Council.
Applications seeking to change the name of an
existing street shall be submitted to the Township Clerk and shall
be subject to the same certification as required for new streets.
The person requesting the change in the name of an existing street
shall be required to provide notice of the application to all property
owners on the existing street. Any change in the name of an existing
street shall be accomplished by ordinance.
The Florence Township Engineer shall assign
house numbers on any new street and shall not sign any new subdivision
plat until the Township Council shall have properly approved the new
street names, and those names shall be shown on the subdivision plat.
