The County shall establish a numbering system as follows:
1. Corner Point Grid System. Addresses in Story County shall be numbered using a Corner Point Grid System. The system will start in the northwestern corner of Story County and shall allow for the assignment of 1,000 new addresses per mile, based on the distance from the Corner Point.
2. Odd and Even Numbers. Proceeding from the point of beginning, even numbers shall be assigned on the east side of north/south roads and on the south side of east/west roads. Odd numbers shall be assigned on the west side of north/south roads and on the north side of east/west roads. For diagonal or irregular roads, a determination will be made as to whether the road is generally an east/west or north/south road as specified for the road naming system. Odd and even numbers shall then be assigned as specified above.
3. Address Numbering Changes. The affected property owner or current occupant shall be notified by the Director or designated agent in writing of any address change within the County's numbering system. (For annexations, see Section 32.08 of this chapter). The property owner shall be responsible for notifying the utility companies and other interested parties of address changes or new addresses.
The Director or designated agent reserves the right to change addresses based on the health, safety, and general welfare of Story County residents.
