The purpose of this chapter is to describe the current addressing system in use inside the center of Forks, and to provide for consistent extension to areas presently addressed in an inconsistent way. This system will be applied within the Forks address grid boundary.
(Ord. 363 § 1, 1993)
The baseline for North-South streets shall be an East-West line passing through Division Street. The baseline for East-West streets shall be a North-South line passing through Forks Avenue. These baselines will begin the 0 block in each direction.
(Ord. 363 § 2, 1993)
Addresses shall increase at a rate of 100 per block away from the above baselines. Permanent blocks are defined on the official city map, and will not change with future street construction. Numbers shall be assigned within each block with sufficient spacing to allow for additional development.
(Ord. 363 § 7, 1993)
A street which curves or angles will be addressed either as an east-west street or as a northsouth street, whichever fits best. Blocks will be stretched as necessary to follow the mapped grid corresponding to the nearest blocks on the adjacent streets. On such streets, address numbers within each block will be calculated relative to the distance along the street rather than to the position on the map grid.
(Ord. 363 § 7, 1993)
Lots on cul-de-sacs which are less than 200 feet deep may be assigned numbers off the street from which the cul-de-sac originates. In this case, the cul-de-sac shall not be assigned a street name.
(Ord. 363 § 9, 1993)
Each unit of a duplex shall be assigned a separate numbered address. Each building with three or more units shall be either assigned a numbered address or each unit may be assigned a separate numbered address. If the units of a building with three or more units are not addressed separately then each unit shall be assigned a unit number or letter. Units without a numbered address shall be designated as “Apartment”, “Unit”, “Suite”, or other appropriate designator.
(Ord. 363 § 10, 1993)
