Naming of Roads Policy: 2.0 Purpose The purpose of this policy is to provide a uniform procedure for processing a request for the naming or renaming of a public or private road within the Township. 4.0 Guiding Principles: Naming a New Road a) General – Naming a New Road (Public and Private) i. New Road names may be assigned or accepted on the basis of the following criteria: a. That they are not duplicate or are similar to, in spelling or pronunciation of an existing Road name within the Township; b. That they are not overly difficult to pronounce; c. That they do not conflict with names previously reserved for Plans of Subdivision. ii. Further, for Private Road Naming and Re-naming: a. Naming of a new Private Road will be the prerogative of the developer when it is done as part of the application for subdivision. b. Otherwise, it must be a joint application of at least 80% of the Owners along the subject road. Note: The Township may (i) accept a proposed road name based on a petition received by the majority of the Owners along the subject road after the protocol screening or (ii) chose a proposed road name after protocol screening. More information on the selection process can be found under Appendix “A” of this policy. c. An Administration Fee will be required according to the current rate in the Township’s Fees and Charges By-law, for the review of a maximum of three (3) name proposals. Additional names may be submitted according to the current rate in the Township’s Fees and Charges By-law. d) Naming of Islands and Water Access Points i. The actual lake name shall be used as the first part of the name of the island and Water Access Point (WAP), in all cases. ii. The second part of the name is the lake access name. There will not be an access name and a WAP designation appearing in the same name. iii. Island names are determined from current maps but may also follow the same screening process as road names where no name exist. iv. The process for naming islands and WAPs shall be consistent with the process for road naming, where practical. v. WAPs are subject to the same screening for duplication in pronunciation, spelling, etc., or proposed names as land access roads. e) Mobile Home and Trailer Park Road Names i. Owners of all Mobile Home and Trailer Parks will be encouraged to bring their internal road networks into the full Township network by providing road names and unit numbers. At the very least, there should be unit numbers throughout each park and a sign on each road indicating the full range of unit numbers. Alternatively, the whole of the Mobile Home or Trailer Park may be assigned one Civic Address Number Blade with each mobile home given a unit number provided there are intersection signs on all internal roads to show the ranges of the unit letters (e.g. #1001 Mobile Home Park Example Road, Unit 1). ii. Unless and until the Mobile Home or Trailer Park becomes part of the Township network, they will be requested to provide a detailed map of the roads and sites mounted on posts at the gate of the park and on paper for inclusion in the Township database.
