Road Naming and Addressing Guidelines of Kerr 911 Revised INSERT DATE! Section V. Hiphwav & Road Names 501 Hiahwav Name Characteristics A. Highways under Federal jurisdiction shall maintain the characteristics and designations assigned by Federal public transportation authorities. Highways under State jurisdiction, unless having been assigned a name by local transportation authorities under subsection 501, paragraph B herein, shall maintain the characteristics and designations assigned by State public transportation authorities The elements of such a highway name, in proper order, are: 1. The iurisdiclion indicating the public transportation authority maintaining and controlling the highway, abbreviated per USPS standards, is used to distinguish between Federal and State highways bearing the same classification. (See Appendix B) The jurisdiction element is omitted for interstate highways and State highways of the Farm-to-Market class. 2. The classification describing the type of roadway (i.e., "HIGHWAY", "LOOP", "EXPRESSWAY°, "TURNPIKE", etc.). The classification should not be abbreviated. (See Appendix B) 3. The identifier, which is usually a number. (See Appendix B) 4. The combination of the jurisdiction, classification, and identifier is equivalent to a primary street name. B. To more Gearty identify and locate State highways and to avoid duplication of street addresses on State highways using apre-directional orpost-directional component to distinguish different sections of continuous State highways, which is often confused with the direction-of-travel indicators posted on State highways, it is recommended local transportaiion authorities assign conventional road names to State highways, utilizing the following elements, in proper order: The ~rimarv hiahwav name (equivalent to primary street name), an essential element, is the parent name of the road and should not exceed the USPS recommended maximum length of 15 characters, including spaces. 2. The suffix, an essential element, describing the Gassification of the highway as a major or minor thoroughfare. C. A directional, as described herein in Section 502, shall not be applied to any highway name, as highways are used as boundaries for geo-regions. 502 Road Name Characteristics The characteristics of all roads in the District, excepting highways, shall be that road names should not exceed 25 characters, including the space between elements. The elements of a road name, in proper logical order, are: The primary street name, an essential element, is the parent name of the road and should not exceed the USPS recommended maximum length of 15 characters, incuding spaces. 2. The suffix. an essential element, which indicates the road type (e.g., STREET, DRIVE, AVENUE, etc.), shall not exceed four characters when abbreviated per 12 of 44 INSERT DATE! Road Naming and Addressing Guidelines of Kerr 911 Revised INSERT DATEt USPS and NENA standards and should be one of the suffixes listed in Appendix C. 3. A directional, an essential element, indicating the geo-region in which a road lies, is limked to a two-charader maximum and shall be one of the eight USPS and NENA approved abbreviated diredional indicators (i.e., N, E, W, S, NW, SW, NE, and SE). 503 Pre-Aooroved Road Names A. A minimum of ten (10) road names per geo-region, pre-approved by Ken• 911, will be included in the master list of official road names, for the purpose of naming or renaming roads. B. Pre-approved road names may be seleded from a roster of suggested road names, seleded in accordance with these guidelines, maintained by the GIS Committee. The GIS Committee may solidt and will review suggested road names from the jurisdictions, official organizations and the public. 504 Reserved Road Names Road names that are approved on a preliminary plat may be held in reserve for one year from the date of approval. If final platting does not occur within one year from the date of approval of the preliminary plat, approval and reservation of those road names is null and void, unless an extension of time is granted to that particular platting. Ken' 9-1-1 will honor such extension only if notified in writing by the public authority granting the extension. 505 Memorial Road Names A. The Distrid encourages the naming of public roads with the surname of Distrfd residents who lost their lives, or were distinguished, serving for the U.S. Armed Forces or local public safety and emergency services. B. Suggested memorial names for roads may be submitted to the GIS Committee, for indusion in the roster of suggested road names, by any judsdidion or any offiaally recognized local veteran or.historical organization. C, Memodal road names shall comply with these guidelines. 506 Naming Conventions A. Each highway and road shall have only one corned offidal name B. For highways under Federal jurisdidion, the offidal highway name shall be that assigned by Federal public transportation authorities. C. For State highways under local jurisdidion, the official highway name shall be that assigned by focal public transportation authorities; or, if no local name has been assigned, the official highway name shall be that assigned by State public transportation authorities. D, Local public transportation authorities assigning names to State highways shall apply the °HIGHWAY" (HW1~ suffix to major thoroughfares and the °PARKWAY° (PtCWY) suffix to minor thoroughfares and non-thoroughfares. 13 of 44 INSERT DATE! Road Naming and Addressing Guidelines of Kerr 911 Revised INSERT DATE! E. The official names of roads shall be those finally approved by local public transportation authorities as provided by State law. F. A road name should be appropriate with a short one word primary street name (so that lt easy to read and remember in an emergency), and may promote, tradition, history, geography and character. G. Frivolous or complicated words or unconventional spellings should not be used for primary street names. H. A highway or road should be essentially continuous, without gaps. I. Where practicable, each continual road shall have the same primary street name and suffer throughout its entire length, irrespective of the boundaries of local political subdivisions. J. Proposed or new roads that are obviously on alignment with existing named roads shall bear the assigned name of the existing road. K. Alias road names are not permitted. L. Special characters are not permitted in road names (i.e., hyphens, periods, apostrophes, etc.). M. A primary street name should not be an USPS suffoc or directional (e.g., COURT ST or NORTH AVE). (See Appendix C) N. The alteration or inversion of the proper, logical order of road name elements (e.g., AVE OF CEDARS or BLVD BLUE) shall not occur. O. Single letter primary street names should never be assigned. Single letter names are easily misinterpreted. P. Roman numerals shall not be used in a road name. O. Numeric street names should not tie spelled out, but abbreviated per USPS standards. (i.e., 8T" ST instead of EIGHTH ST). R. Route numbers shall not be used as road names. S. There shall be no duplication of road names within a geo-region, except, in extenuating circumstances, one short cul-de-sac and one short loop (either less than 1000 feet in length) that intersect no other street than the parent street, may bear the primary street name of the parent street, but with a different suffix. Examples of duplicate road names are: 1) CATHY LANE N comparetl to KATHY LANE N; 2) LAKE VIEW ROAD SW contrasted to LAKEVIEW ROAD SW; 3) JONDO STREET E compared to JONDO CROSSING E; 4) PINE TREE LANE N vs. PINE TREES LANE N vs. PINE'S TREE LANE N; 5) MAIN NW in contrast with MAIN STREET NW T. Every road name shall have a directional corresponding to a geo-region. U. Every road name shall have a corresponding standard suffer that complies with NENA and USPS standards. (See Appendix C) 14 of 44 INSERT DATEI Road Naming and Addressing Guidelines of Kerr 911 Revised INSERT DATEI V. Where a private restricted road is an aligned extension of a public access road, sututantially continuing the same level of service as the public road, It may be preferable to have the private road cony the name of the public road, if there is no obvious demarcation Q.e., an intersection, cattle guard, permanent gate) to easily indicate a change in road status. W. When a road crosses the boundary of a geo-region, the prefer will change to reflect the location of the road. X. Inevitable changes or modification to a road name should occur only at a major intersection or similar demarcation. Y. Suffaes and diredionals shall not be combined with primary street names for the sole purpose of avoiding road name duplication. Z. Road names memorializing living individuals or politiaans shall be avoided. AA. Road names that are obviously offensive, libelous or derogatory in spelling or pronunciation are prohibited. 507 Roads Requiring Names A. All publiGy maintained roads shall be named. B. A public access road, or a private restricted road exceeding one-quarter mile (1320 feet) in length, providing easement to two or more properties, upon which exists, or potentially e>asts, more than two buildings shall be named. C. Any road, regardless of length, that provides easement to more than two properties will be named under the following circumstances: 1. The location or arrangement of the buildings hinders address assignment from a named road. 2. A named road intersects the road, but due to topography or distance, buildings along the unnamed road are not easily located from the named intersecting road. 3. Naming of the road is necessary to adequately direct emergency responders to a building(s). 4. Any road that leads to one or more roads that provide easement to buildings shall be named. D. A private restricted road may not require naming, and will be treated as a driveway when the road is: 1. less than one-quarter mile in length; and, 2. the easement to a singular property; and, 3. is entered from a named road, allowing address assignment at that intersection. E. A driveway need not be named if the driveway only serves two buildings and the buildings are visible so that one or both can be addressed from a named road intersecting the driveway. 15 of 44 INSERT DATEI Road Naming and Addressing Guidelines of Kerr 911 Revised INSERT DATE! 508 Road Naming Authority Except as otherwise set forth in theses guidelines, final authority for road names rests with the County Commissioner's Court for roads in the unincorporated areas of the county, and with the Councils of the CRies for roads within their respective jurisdictions. 509 Naming of Roads A. The naming of public access roads and private restricted roads usually occurs through the process of approved subdivision platting, or as otherwise provided by State law and local government rules, regulations and guidelines. B. Persons desiring to name a new or previously unnamed public access road or private restricted road shall submit application as follows: road lies in the County without traversing any City boundary -County Address Coordinator. road lies entirely with the boundaries of a City -City Clerk's Office of appropriate City. road lies within the jurisdiction of the County and any City(s) - a certified copy to each affected judsdiction. C. The proper local public transportation authority according to its procedures shall name new and unnamed roads.. D. Proceedings to name an unnamed existing public access road may be initiated by Kerr 911, any affected local transportation authority, USPS, or by petition of a simple majority of land owners along the road, by application to the proper local authority. E. Naming of a new or previously unnamed private restricted road may be initiated by Kerr 911, a local public transportation authority, or by petition of landowners along the road F. A local transportation authority receiving an application to name a road shall: 1. present the application to Kerr 911 for review of compliance with these guidelines prior to commencement of any formal action on the application; and, 2. certify to Kerr 911 the status of the road as a public access road or a private restricted road. G. Upon receiving a completed application and verifying the status of the road, the local authority having majority judsdiction shall handle the matter in an expeditious manner according to the policy of the local authority 510 Renaming of Roads A. Reasons to rename an existing road are: 1. to eliminate duplication and confusion 2. when a permanent gap occurs in a previous continuous road 3. when non-continuous roads bear the same name 16 of 44 INSERT DATE!

Section VI. Street Addressing 601 Street Address Characteristics The logical, grammatical order of street address elements shall follow USPS standards: street number, primary street name, suffix, directional and the secondary number (if any). A. The street number is the numeric component of a street address, officially assigned to a property that precedes the road name. (e.g., 100 W. BOOGEY CT). B. The secondary number is an alphanumeric component of a street address that describes an apartment, room, suite, or other secondary addressing unit, that is part of the property described by the street number. (e.g., 247 SMILE RD, APT 3 or 321 HAPPY ST, LOT 17). See Appendix D for USPS approved secondary addressing unit identifiers. 602 Street Addressing Conventions A. Official street numbers shall proceed from the beginning point or other logical point of origin, of the road and shall be in proper numerical sequence in relation to other street numbers on the same road. B. Odd numbers shall be assigned to properties on one side of the road and even numbers to properties on the other side of the road. Numbers should provide sufficient flexibility to address additional new buildings near existing buildings. C. Unique street numbers shall be assigned to principal buildings wherever possible, with secondary numbers assigned to the units of principal buildings. D. Street numbers should not exceed six characters. E. Fractional addresses are not permitted. (e.g., 101 1/2 MAIN ST S). F. Only specific addresses shall be used for street addresses. (e.g., 303 PLAT PKWY SW). Non-specific addresses, such as comer location addresses (e.g., PITT RD N and SIDE ST N) may not be used as street addresses. G. Street numbers and secondary numbers shall consist only of numeric characters. Alpha characters may not be combined with a street number or secondary number. (e.g., E143 MAIN AVE W or 111 PINE DR NW, APT 2138 is not permitted.). H. Hyphenated street numbers or secondary numbers are not permitted. (e.g., 13-423 SMITTEN WAY SW or 741 AERO LN N, APT 22-1111. I. Leading zeros shall not be used in street number or secondary numbers (e.g., 0415 LUCKY RDG NW, APT 00121. J. Street number continuity shall be maintained irrespective of local political subdivision boundaries. K. Street number parity shall remain the same throughout the course of a continuous road. L. The interval between street numbers should be sufficient to allow street number assignment to additional principal buildings between or behind existing principal buildings. 20 of 44 INSERT DATE! Road Naming and Addressing Guidelines of Kerr 911 Revised INSERT DATE! 603 Street Addressing Methodology The "Frontage Interval Addressing System", in general application and preferred by NENA and USPS, shall be used in the District. It is based on the measurement of the intervals between the beginning of a road and the structures along the road. The rules of frontage interval addressing follow. A. The Frontage Interval: The prime interval shall be 52.8 feet (16.09344 meters or 1/100 mile). This will yield 200 numbers per mile, 100 odd on one side and 100 even on the other side. The prime interval shall be used to assign street addresses on all new roads, new extensions of existing roads, unaddressed existing roads, and when converting roads with rural style addressing to city style addressing. (See Appendix E) B. Block Range: On roads that do not have established block ranges, consistent use of the prime interval yields block lengths that are one-half mile long. In areas to be street addressed that are not block ranged, the one-half mile block lengths shall be used irrespective of crossing or intersecting streets along the road being street numbered. C. Pari (Odd/Even Number Location): Traveling forward, away from the beginning point of a road, assign even numbers to properties on the left side of the road and odd numbers on the right side of the road. If a preexisting opposite parity scheme exists on the road or on the parallel roads of a localized area, and such scheme is otherwise compliant with these guidelines, continue the existing parity scheme, if practicable. (See Appendix E) D. Initial Numbers: Numbering on new and unaddressed roads shall begin with three (3) digft numbers, with subsequent numbers increasingly incrementally from the beginning three digd number with respect to numbering parity. (See Appendix E) E. Continuity: All address numbers assigned or reassigned along a road shall lie in logical sequence with relation to the beginning point and other address numbers along the road. (See Appendix E) F. Beginning Point: The beginning point of a road usually is the point of the road nearest the centroid. The beginning point of a dead end road is the point of departure from the main road. Other circumstances, such as the main ingress to a loop being the farthest point from the centroid, may require that logical point of origin being used as the beginning point forthat road. (See Appendix E) G. Bridges and Maintained Crossings: To aid as location devices, bridges and maintained crossings should be assigned street numbers. When numbering short bridges and crossings, with respect to the road on which the bridge or crossing lies, two street numbers will be assigned to the center of the bridge, one for the odd side and the other for the even side, both numbers within one digit of the other. (e.g., 101 and 102). The bridge may then be posted in the middle, or at each end, with the odd number facing oncoming traffic on the odd side of the road and the even number facing oncoming traffic on the even side of the road. Bridges more than a half mile in length should be numbered using prime intervals and numbers posted along the bridge at suffiaent intervals to be useful in location determination. (See Appendix E) H. Semi-circular Roads: Crescent shaped roads or semicircular loops that begin and end on the same road should, following parity and continuity, be numbered first and consecutively around the outside of the semi-cirGe. The inside of the semi-cirGe is 21 of 44 INSERT DATEI Road Naming and Addressing Guidelines of Kerr 911 Revised INSERT DATE! then numbered to match and mix with the outside. This will usually result with fewer numbers on the inside of the semi-GrGe, and with number spacing differing between the inner and outer numbers. (See Appendix F-1, Fig. #1) Cul-de-sacs: Number from the street intersection towards the cul-de-sac. Entering the cul-de-sac (the tum around area of the dead end road), the numbers proceed, depending on parity, odd around one side of the outer cirGe of the cul-de-sac to where the extended centedine of the road would intersect the edge of the cul-de-sac farthest from the beginning point, with even number proceeding around the other outer circle of the cul-de-sac. Odd and even numbers meet at mid-point or the back of the cul-de-sac. (See Appendix F-1, Fig. #2) J. CirGes: The beginning point for circles should always be where the circle intersects the main road, never where the cirGe intersects itself. Special care must be exercised in numbering GrGes to maintain parity. Always number a GrGe continuing past the road's self-intersection so as to end the numbering where the road intersects itself. Always number the outside of the Grde first. If there are odd numbers facing odd numbers, or even numbers facing even numbers on the stem of the GrGe, the addressing is incorrect. (See Appendix F-1, Fig. #3) K. Crossing Countv Lines: When crossing county lines, consideration will be given to a compatible existing numbering system in the other county. If no system exists, the numbering will stop at the county line. If a compatible system does exist in that county, those numbers may continue, following these guidelines. If a road name changes at the county line, the numbering can continue, start over or end, as the case may be. L. Stacked Addresses: No more than two single-tenant buildings, sharing a common driveway, and otherwise compliant with these guidelines, shall share a street number, with the second building being assigned a secondary number with the street number of the original building. (e.g., 278 KRYING TRL SW, UNIT 2). (See Appendix F-2, Fig. #4) M. Mufti-Tenant Buildings: Apartments and other mufti-tenant structures shall be numbered with the main building and then assigned secondary numbers to the individual units of the main building. (e.g. 202 MAIN ST SW, APT 303). If possible, use apartment numbers to indicate the floor location (e.g. APT 303 is the third apartment on the third floor). (See Appendix F-2, Fig. #5) N. Business Complexes: Business buildings comprised of individual stores, suites, offices or other units, under one roof, will be addressed just as multi-tenant buildings. Closely spaced units, each under its own roof, may be addressed just as multi-tenant buildings. (e.g., 225 INDUSTRIAL LANE E, SUITE 33). (See Appendix F-2, Fig. #&) O. Mobile Home Parks: Mobile home parks should be numbered just like apartments, with the park assigned the street number and secondary numbers assigned to lots and spaces. (e.g., 601 BALLY ST S, LOT 17). If the spacing of park lots allows for unique street numbers to be assigned to individual lots, then the streets in the park may be named and lots assigned individual addresses. This alternative is best reserved for large mobile parks. (See Appendix F-2, Fig. #7) P. Interfacing WRh Existing Systems: Street numbers of the City of Kenville, a LISPS schemed area, and the street numbers of other cities in the District, if substantially compliant with Section 6 of these guidelines, shall be extended, as far as practicable, into rural areas of the DlStfiG, taking into account considerations of topographical restrictions, highway and road characteristics and these guidelines. 22 of 44 INSERT DATE[ Road Naming and Addressing Guidelines of Kerr 911 Revised INSERT DATE! Q. Hiehwavs: Highways and their frontage roads, excepting Interstate Highways or similar controlled-access highways, shall be numbered just as roads. Interstate and other controlled-access highways will be block numbered only, with four digit numbers, consistent with highway milepost designations, with the last digit being "0" at mileposts and "5" at half way points. (i.e., between mileposts 505 and 506, including the halfway points, the 1/2-mile block ranges would be 5050, 5055, 5060.). (See Appendix F-3, Fig. #8) R. Building Numbers: The middle of buildings shall be used to determine the street number assigned. Buildings shall always be numbered according to the road the building faces, unless the building is obscured from view from the main road, then the main way best leading to the building should be the point of street address assignment. (See Appendix F-3, Fig. #9j S. Vacant Properties: Properties on which no building has been constructed or laid out shall be street numbered at a permanent entrance to the property. If a permanent entrance to the property is not discernible, the center most point of property abutting the road shall be assigned the street number. T. Preolanrtina Subdivisions: New subdivisions require street number assignment by the Address Coordinator prior to final approval. Comer Ids will be assigned two street numbers, one for each road abutted by the lot. If the zoning or deed restrictions of the subdivision are such that the potential exists for more than one building, or multi- tenant buildings, on a lot, the developer shall, on the final plat, inGude a notation informing prospective lot owners that erection of more than one building per lot, or multi-tenant buildings may cause a change in street addresses to oonfortn with these guidelines. (See Appendix F-4, Fig. #10 U. Exemat Buildings and Uses: The following buildings and uses will be exempt from the addressing system, but may be addressed at the request of the property owner. Farts buildings which are not residential or commercial • Accessory buildings that have uses that are accessory to the primary use of a residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, orgovemmental buildings. • Unoccupied farts land or lots containing no dwelling(s) or businesses V. Rural Complexes and Compounds: In unincorporated portions of the county, single entity owned or operated land areas, such as recreational camps, hunting camps, recreational ranches and similar acreage properties which contain unmarked, unmapped and less-than-permanent road networks, or for which access is denied to Ken• 911 for addressing purposes, the Address Coordinator will assign an address to that property at the major point of entry on the property on a recognized named road. In such instances it shall be the property owner's responsibility to provide directional signage or escort in the event of situations requiring entry. Should the property owner desire and permit access for mapping and naming of intemal roads, more specific intemal addressing will be assigned to structures and dwellings as appropriate and requested by the property owner. 604 Substantial Compliance Street addresses along a roatl, or portion of a road, not based on the prime interval, but otherwise consistent and compliant with theses guidelines, shall be deemed to be in compliance with these guidelines. 23 of 44 INSERT DATE! Road Naming and Addressing Guidelines of Kerr 911 Revised INSERT DATE! 605 Assignment of Street Addresses The Address Coordinator shall assign or re-assign any street address, or street address elements, in accordance wffh pre-addressing information provided by Kerr 911 (See section 609). 606 Reasons to Re-Assign Street Addresses The following are circumstances requiring the re-assignment of street addresses: 1. Address number(s) out of sequence 2. Odd and even numbers mixed on the same side of the street 3. Relocation of driveway, when ddveway used as point of address 4. Erection or location of new buildings on a property originally addressed for one building. 5. Relocation of streets 6. Relocating buildings on property 7. Address number not officially assigned 8. New buildings on a street necessitating naming of the street 9. Change in road name 607 Notification of Address Assignment The Address Coordinator shall notify in writing a property owner of a new or changed atldress. It shall be the responsibilky of the property owner to notify tenants of new or changed addresses. Property owners have 30 days to begin using new or changed addresses after receiving notice of a new address or address change. When converting from a rural style address to a city style address, the USPS will deliver mail to the old rural address for one year from the date of the address change. New or changed address numbers should be posted on property immediately. 608 Request for Address Assignment A. A request for address assignment shall be submitted to the Address Coorclinator. B. A property that cannot be sufficiently described to allow address assignment from the pre-addressing data will require a field visit by Kerr 911 staff to locate the property, to develop the pre-addressing information, antl to provide the data to the Address Coordinator. C. When an address is assigned a form similar to Appendix J must be filled out. The Address Coordinator shall deliver a completed copy of the form to Kerr 911 within two working days of address assignment, for inclusion with telephone company E911 databases. The Address Coordinator shall be responsible forthe delivery of other copies to Kerr Central Appraisal District, USPS, and to City or County offices, as appropriate. Kerr 911 shall notify the appropriate telephone company of the address assignment. D. It shall be the responsibility of the addressee to notify any other parties or persons of the new or changed address. 24 of 44 INSERT DATEI Road Naming and Addressing Guidelines of Ken• 911 Revised INSERT DATE! 609 Pre-Addressing A. Kerr 911 will pre-address land parcels on new finalized subdivisions and deliverthat addressing information to the Address Coordinator. B. Upon specific or general request of the county or a city, Kerr 911 will assess and pre- address unaddressed areas or areas not in confornance with these guidelines. These areas to be assessed will be determined and coordinated with the appropriate Address Coordinator. 25 of 44 INSERT DATEI Road Naming and Addressing Guidelines of Kerr 911 Revised INSERT DATE! Section VII. Street Signs and Posting of Address Numbers Street signs and property address markers complete the link between assigning addresses and locating properties. The following are generally accepted recommendations for street signs and the posting of street numbers. 701 Street Signs A. Street signs should conform to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and local rules and regulations. Privately maintained roads should be distinguished in sign color from public roads to avoid any misconceptions or confusion as to maintenance responsibility. Street sign placards and sign. lettering should be reflective and contrasting in color. The recommended sign color combinations are: • County maintained road -white letters on green background • Municipal maintained road -white letters on blue background Privately maintained road -white letter on red background B. Sign placards should be a minimum of six inches high. Lettering should be four inches high for all road name elements. Two-inch letters, indicating the block range of the road, should be affuced to the placard. C. The sign should be clear of any bushes, limbs, poles or any other obstruction that might obscure viewing of the sign. D. Signs should be installed at all intersections on standards or posts in accordance with standards of the Texas Department of Transportation. 702 Posting of Property Number A. An address number should be permanently affuced in a location on a property that is clearly visible from the road used as the basis for numbering. B. Address numbers should not be less than four inches in height and should be painted upon or affuced to the building in a contrasting and visible color. C. Where the building is not visible from the road, and the mailbox is not located at the end of the driveway or road accessing the building, the assigned address number should be displayed in a conspicuous manner at or near the point where the driveway or road accessing the building intersects the named road. D. All new buildings under construction that have been issued an address should display that address number. E. Display of address numbers should conform to county or city zoning or other regulations. 26 of 44 INSERT DATE! Road Naming and Addressing Guidelines of Kerc 911 Revised tNSERT DATE[ Section VIII.
