RRTICLE ITI 3. STREET SUFFIX OR THOROUGHFARE DESIGNRTIONS 3.1 The use of thoroughfare designations as a locational device is a simple method of providing a uniform designation of streets of different types is followed within the same jurisdiction. Street suffix or thoroughfare designation is not required, but if it is (~ used it must conform to the definitions that follow: 3.1.1 BOULEVARD (BLVD) - R street divided by a landscaped center island. R street with a median reflecting the boulevard character implied in the name. 3.1.2 COURT tCT) - Rer•manently closed street such as a cul-de-sac.

In such cases that a street or road does not conform to the definition as stated, the Kerr County Commissioner's Court shall make the final determination of the street s~_iffix or thoroughfare designation. PAGE 579 ,~,..~, Street s~_~ffix designations shall follow the Recommended National Emergency Number Association (NENA) Standards. See attachment R. ARTICLE IV 4. DESIGNATION OF STREET NRMES 4.1 Multiple names with same primary name are limited to fourteen occurrences (i. e. Oak Way, Oak View, Oak Tree, Oak Hill). 4.2 All private roads with multiple family/business structures must be names and specific addresses assigned to each structure. If the private road has only a single structure, and the entrance to the private road is from a nosed road, then the private road will be treated as a driveway and an address assigned at the drive with the street name being that of the named road. If a private road with no structures leads to one or more private roads with multiple structures then the private road must be named. 4.2.1 Adoption or sanction of a road name, or the subsequent posting of any sign, is not to be construed that public maintenance of a pr^ivate __ road is mandated. iw ~ 4.3 Duplicate streets will not 6e allowed as defined in the following examples because a duplicate street name can cause confusion as to the correct location of an emergency. and significantly delay response time. The United State Postal Service Guideline for Street Name Request and Verifications far Duplications will also be adhered to. A duplicate name can prohibit proper routing of calls. 4.4 A DUPLICATE STREET is a street that can 6e defined as a street that has the same as another street and matches the description in one or more of the following cases: 4.4.1 Street Hare sounds alike, yet, is spelled differently and is in an area served by the same Law Enforcement, Fire and EMS agencies. KATHY LANE compared to CATHY LANE, WILD WOOD DRIVE compared to WILDWOOD DRIVE. 4.4.2 Street name is plural. GREEN PASTURE ROAD compared to GREEN PRSTURES ROAD. 4.4.3 Street has the same primary name, yet is has #1, #~, A, B, C, etc., az a suffix. COUNTY ROAD 214 compared to COUNTY ROAD 214A. PAGE 580 4.4.4 Street is within the same Postal Delivery Office and may span numerous zip codes and has the same primary name with a nondistinguishable suffix of has a suffix omitted. LAKEVIEW ROAD compared to LAKEVIEW DRIVE; MRIN compared to MAIN STREET. 4.4.5 Street is within a different Postal Delivery Office from the potential duplicate street, however, both streets are served by the same Law Enforcement, Fire and EMS agencies. 4.4.6 Street is not contiguous or does not connect and make a continuous street. SMITH ROAD is intersected by INTERSTATE 30, however this is no under or overpass connecting the two segments of road. 4.4.7 Deleted 4.5 Proceedings should be initiated by either petition of the directly affected property owners or a public official of the jurisdiction in which the street is located. Name changes ar-e consider-ed for- historical or• clarification purposes and are limited to r-econsideration 2 years hence. Name changes must meet same criteria established for new street names. Petition for change must be presented with signatures from 3/4 of proper-ty owners ~, abutting street. Development along street and traffic volume may be considered as additional criteria. The fallowing reasons should be adopted as reasons for which a request far change will be considered. 4.5.1 TECHNICAL: To establish continuity; eliminate duplications, correct misspelling, enhance ease of location, improve coherence of street numbering system, or• provide a needed roadway designation such as circle or loop. 4.5.2 NEIGHBORHOOD ENHANCEMENT OR HISTORICRL RECOGNITION: To recognize a person or organization, to favor neighborhood association with its location, history, or area characteristics. 4.6 The r-equirements and policies of the U.

DESIGNATION OF STRUCTURE NUMBERS E.1 The general principles of structure numbering are as follows: original 6.1.1 deleted 6.1.1 Property numbering should be uniform, based on street fr-outage. 6. i,2 Numbering should be consecutive. pAGE 5B2 6.1.3 Even numbers shall be on one side of the street and odd number^s shall be on the other. 6.1.4 The numbering system allows for• expansion to accommodate future growth in the area. 6.2 The method of numbering assignment for• Kerr County will be based on a quadrant of the county, the center point being the Kerr County Courthouse in Kerrville, Texas. 6.2.1 The North-South axis -- will be Texas Highway 16 from the North county line to the South county line. 6.2.2 The East-West axis -- will be the Guadalupe River from the East county line to the intersection of State Highway 1340 and State Highway 39. It will then follow State Highway 39 to the West County line. 6.3 The principle concerns for block length are consistency, to the extent possible and the ability to assign numbers in a flexible range of intervals, such as 8' to 25' length on block frontage. Existing addressing or road layouts may require adaptation to a different block length in on block frontage. Existing addressing or• road layouts may require adaptation to a different block length in part of the area to be addressed. The recommended standard is ten blocks per mile or approximately 500 feet far practical length. 6.4 Assuming approximately 500 foot blocks, 100 numbers per block (50 separate numbers for each side) the potential frontage interval for number assignment is 10 Feet. 6.5 Odd numbers are assigned to buildings on one side of the street and even numbers to those on the opposite side of the street. original 6. 5.] deleted 6.6 Any old n~.~mber• in conflict with the number given by the agency specified by the Court to maintain this system shall be r-e moved and any person refusing or neglecting to remove the same shall be guilty of an offense. 6.7 The logical grammatical order of address elements shall be street number, prefix, primary street name of number, suffix, post directional and secondary number if any. 6.7.1 Urban designation (i. e. 100 Main St. S # 201> 6.7.'2 Rural designation (i. e. CR 2100 5) PAGE 583 6.7.2,1 CR shall designate County Road. 6.7.2.2 PV7 shall designate Private Road. 6.7.2.3 AR shall designate Public Access Road. 6.7.3 The directional suffix shall consist of the N, S, E, and W. 6.8 Non-specific addresses such as corner location addresses are not permitted (i. e. Main & 1st Street). 6.9 Each roadway will have a unique origin established as the beginning point in the road nearest the Court houseq or the beginning point most readily and rapidly accessible from the Courthouse. 6.9.1 The purpose of identifying the origin of a roadway is to determine the dominant cardinal direction of the roadway and the initial assignment of the low end of the addressing range for said roadway. 6.10 Exceptions to the above rules may be made in the interest of maintaining continuity of addr^essing along roads common to two or more counties or other political entities. Points of origin or other specifics may be subject to negotiation. 6.11 This article shall be r•equir•ed of all new roads. Existing roads will be brought into compliance as workload and budgetary limitations permit. ARTICLE VII 7. POSTING OF DE5IGNRTED STRUCTURE NUMBERS 7.1 The owner or occupant or person in charge of any dwelling unit, structure or• use to which a number has been assigned, shall be notified in writing by implementing agency of the number assigned to the same at any time after adopting of this resolution. 7.2 After receipt of written notification, it becomes the duty of the owner, occupant or person in charge of any dwelling unit, structure or use to which a n~.~mber has been assigned to cause the same to be posted. 7.2.1 Either on the structure front, if visible from the street, or on an above ground sign attached to a post or other object at the driveway ar curb cut, the numbers shall 6e no less than three (3) inches in height and of a color contrasting with the background. This section does nut preclude an individual from also numbering the front entrance of a structure if practical. PRGE 584 7.2.2 Place on postal mail bnx when instructed by the United State Postal Service. Cam, 7.2.3 In the case that a building is served by two or more driveways or curb cuts, the number shall be assigned and posted to the fr^ont entrance or driveway. 7.2.4 It shall 6e the duty of the owner, occupant or person in charge of the dwelling unit, structure or use, upon affixing the number assigned, to remove any different number which might be mistaken for or• confused with the assigned number to the structure. 7.2.5 In such case where the assigned number cannot be posted as required above, the number shall be posted as pr^escribed by the Kerr County Commissioner's Court after consultation with the owner, occupant or person in charge. ARTICLE VIII 8. TYPES OF NUMBERS 8.1 Two (2> types of numbers are designed under this resolution. 8.1.1 A primary number to be assigned to each street frontage of each parcel of land, whether or• not the parcel is occupied, The primary number is required to be posted only if the parcel is occupied by a dwelling unit, structure or active use and the owner, occupant or• person in charge is notified under Section 7.1 of this Resolution. Other primary numbers ar-e reserved for future development of the numbered parcels and will assigned at the time of development. 8.1.2 Secondary numbers may be used when a number of units, structure and uses co-exist on the same parcel of land. Examples of parcels requiring secondary numbers include apartment pr^ojects, condominium projects, mobile (manufactured) home parks, office parks, planned unit development recreational vehicle parks, r•ecr^eational areas, shopping center and other uses where the use of secondary numbers would clarify the location of an individual unit for public safety purposes. To provide secondary numbers, the administering agency shall work with the owner, principal occupant, or person in charge of the project to determine a logical numbering system under the following guidelines. PRSE 585 8.1.2.1 Existing number- units and uses shall y retain the present set of addresses C~ with only the primary number being changed if the primary number is not in sequence with the overall system. 8.1.2.8 Building on a single parcel with more than one tl) and less than five (5) units will be given number destinations. 8.1.2.3 A single building on a single parcel of land and with five (5) or more units shall be given numerical (preferr•ed> designations, such as: Suite 5, Apartment 5, etc. 8.1.2.4 Multiple buildings on the same parcel of land may be given secondary numbers consisting of number designations if the buildings are accessed from the main entrance to the project. Generally, the number designations should incr^ease in a clockwise direction from the main entrance. 8.1.2.5 Mobile
