The north and east sides of a street will be numbered with odd numbers, and the south and west sides of a street will be numbered with even numbers.
A.
Diagonal streets. Diagonal streets should be treated as either north-south or east-west streets. Arbitrary decisions on the direction are acceptable, but the primary direction shall be chosen.
B.
Circular streets. Circular streets and roads begin at the low-numbered intersection and are numbered with the even numbers on the inside of the circle. The outside of the circle is numbered first and consecutively. The inside is then numbered to match and mix with the outside. This will result in some cases in fewer numbers on the inside of the circle and also with spaces between the numbers.
C.
Cul-de-sacs.
(1)
Cul-de-sacs often require applying the rules for both dead-end streets and circular streets. Those without buildings in the center portion should be numbered as if the center line of the street bisects the cul-de-sac. The numbering begins from the intersection of the main road and ascends toward the cul-de-sac. Once in the cul-de-sac, the numbers proceed odd around the left side of the circle and even around the right side of the circle progressing in the direction that the numbers increase. Odd and even numbers meet at mid-point or the back of the cul-de-sac.
(2)
On rare occasions, there may be structures inside the cul-de-sac. When this occurs, number the structure or structures in the way that will fit best. Generally there are no houses in the middle ground.
D.
Corner lots. Use the driveway when assigning numbers to corner lots. When the driveway is obscured or if the structure is best reached for emergency purposes by the front door, assign the property number based on where the front door falls on the road.
E.
Stacked addresses. Houses or trailers behind other houses or trailers facing the road sharing a common driveway should be numbered following the rules for distance and direction herein. Use of a hyphenated, alphanumeric, or fractional number is discouraged (e.g., 254A, 254 1/2, or 254-3).
F.
Apartments and duplexes. Apartments and other multitenant structures should be numbered with the main building and then assigned apartment numbers as secondary location indicators (e.g., 202 Main St., Apt. 303). If possible, use apartment numbers to indicate the floor location (e.g., Apt. 303 is the third apartment on the third floor). If a building has a separate entrance for each unit, then each entrance will receive an address.
G.
Businesses. Businesses and business districts should be numbered just as apartments, with the middle of the building determining the number and the offices or businesses in the building being numbered as suites (e.g., 225 Oak Dr., Suite 34). This rule may also be applied to "office parks" where each business has its own small building.
H.
Preplanning subdivisions. New subdivisions will require street naming and address assignments to the lots prior to final approval. The Town Administrative Official must review the plan for compliance with the various sections of this policy as they relate to street naming and the assignment of address numbers. The Town Administrative Official must sign off on this portion of the subdivision plan. Preplanning requires that corner lots be numbered in two directions since it is unknown which way the houses might face on the lot.
