(A) Street names.
(1) Every proposed street which is obviously in alignment with an existing named street shall be given the same name as the existing street.
(2) The name assigned to any proposed street which is not in alignment with an existing named street shall not duplicate nor be phonetically similar to the name of any existing street, irrespective of any difference in designation such as “avenue,” “boulevard,” “drive,” “place” or other descriptive term.
(3) The Building and Zoning Committee shall hereafter require all proposed subdivision plats to be reviewed by the County 911 Department, and the 911 Coordinator shall certify in writing his or her approval of the street names and addresses to the Building and Zoning Committee, prior to the recordation of the plat, and designation of street names and street addresses shall not be thereafter altered or changed without the approval of the County Board.
(B) Street markers. At all the street intersections within or abutting any subdivision, the subdivider shall install street markers in conformity with the following standards.
(1) Street name signs shall be made of aluminum blanks measuring six inches by variable lengths with green engineer grade reflective background and four inch high silver intensity letters; or other signs approved by the County Engineer. The County Highway Department will supply these signs and posts to the subdivider for the cost of material and labor.
(2) Street name signs shall be mounted on four-inch by four-inch creosoted wood posts or one and three-fourths-inch square telespar (or equivalent) steel posts. In either case, the support shall be set to a depth of three feet below ground surface and shall extend approximately seven feet above the ground surface to the bottom of the lowest placed sign.
