(a) For the purpose of this Article, the following terms, phrases, works and their derivations shall have the meaning that is provided in the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) Standard Guidelines as referenced by the United States Postal Service, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
(b) "Address number" means the number assigned to consecutive intervals along a street or road pursuant to the Number Assignment Formula contained herein.
(c) "Road" or "Street" means any public or private thoroughfare, used for vehicular traffic and/ or any easement or right-of-way that provides sole access to more than two parcels or lots. This term shall be defined as the "Street Suffix" and shall include, but is not limited to; avenue (ave), drive (dr), way (way), boulevard (blvd), highway (hwy), lane (ln), pike (pke) or similar street types.
(d) "Number Assignment Formula" means as follows: Beginning from the point of origin a house number shall be assigned for each interval, with each interval on the right side of the roadway as one leaves the point of origin being assigned an even number, and each interval on the left side as one leaves the point of origin being assigned an odd number. Left and right shall be determined from the perspective of a traveler moving away from the road point of origin in a forward motion.
(e) "Interval" means the distance along a roadway of 25.00 feet.
(f) "Point of origin" means the end point of a road, which is the starting point for a numbering sequence. The point of origin for the Town of Granville shall be the best location for the designated neighborhood. The point of origin for an individual road may be adjusted, upon the counties Addressing Coordinators approval, to avoid numbering conflicts.
(g) "Primary structure" means, but is not be limited to, residential building, mobile home parks, commercial building, industrial building, office building, public building, utility, communications tower.
(h) "Display" means the manner the numbers are affixed to a structure or otherwise displayed when affixing to a structure.
(i) “Non-compliance" means any failure to comply with the provisions of this Ordinance including, but not limited to, by way of example: a number out of sequence, odd or even number on wrong side of street, rural box numbers in a 9-1-1 address area, numbers improperly affixed, numbers illegible, numbers unclear, numbers obstructed, numbers not visible, numbers not present, numbers of improper size, numbers not in contrast with immediate background, weatherworn numbers, wrong numbers, and non-approved numbers.

(l) "City-type address" means a unique address for a structure using a building number and street name. "City-type addresses" are based on an address system, which means that they usually appear in a consistent numeric sequence along a street and reflect parity conventions (that is, odd numbers all appear on one side of the street and even numbers on the other). If number assignment is based on a standard numbering interval, then the "city-type address" will also logically provide a distance location from the beginning point of the road.
