(A) It is the responsibility of the E911 Coordinator to manage the E911 addressing system for the purpose of facilitating a continuous and uniform addressing system.
(B) All addresses are standardized by procedures set forth by the county and assigned by the E911 Administration Office.
(1) Whenever possible, numbers are assigned on the basis of 1 number for every 5.28 feet of frontage along the road, thereby establishing 1000 addresses in 1 mile.
(2) Whenever possible, streets running more nearly north and south are numbered from the south to the north, and those streets running more nearly east and west are numbered from east to west with the exception of dead-end roads which number from the intersection to the dead-end.
(3) Wherever possible, locations north of east-west roads and west of south-north roads are given odd-numbered addresses, and locations south of east-west roads and east of south-north roads are given even-numbered addresses.
(4) Wherever possible, addresses are assigned at the driveway location or to the proper door as determined by the position of the structure to be addressed.
(5) These standards may vary to accommodate previous addressing or unusual circumstances.
(C) Each house, building, business, or other occupied structure as well as any other structure that requires utility service must be assigned a separate number.
(1) An alphabetical letter must be assigned for any out-building to the above that requires separate utility service.
(2) Collective developments such as mobile home parks, office parks, apartment complexes, and campgrounds are either assigned internal street names and addressed in the same manner as all other unincorporated areas, or, an overall address is assigned for each point of ingress or egress to the development then assigned individual lot or unit numbers.
(3) No permits or utility services shall be granted until the owner has procured the official number for the premises.
(4) The address assigned, by agreement with the United States Postal Service, is used as the mailing address of the home or business for delivery proposes.
(a) Delivery of mail is not required by Newberry County's E911 service.
(b) The US Postal Service governs the placement of the mailbox and its identification. This placement does not dictate the address for the structure.
(c) The directions of the US Postal Service do not overrule the guidelines set forth herein.
(D) Street numbers are to be posted for dwellings and buildings in 3-inch numbers for dwellings or 4-inch numbers for businesses.
(1) If the structure is located less than 100 feet from the road frontage and is not obstructed from view from the road, street numbers may be posted at a visible location immediately above, on, or at the side of the proper door or the structure in clear view from the street or road from both directions of travel.
(2) If the structure is located more than 100 feet from the road frontage or obstructed from view from the road, street numbers must be posted at a visible location near the walk, driveway, or common entrance to the building, upon a gate, fence, post, or other appropriate place so as to clearly be visible from the street or road from both directions of travel. This marker is to be on the same side of the road as the residence or business, not across the street.
(3) All numbers must be made of a durable, clearly visible material and must contrast with the color of the house, building, other structure, or marker.
(4) These numbers must be displayed within 20 days of obtaining the street address.
(5) The property owner or occupant must pay for costs and installation of the number.
