PURPOSE 1.1 This ordinance establishes a system for assigning street names and address numbers which will assist the public and private sector in locating individual streets, buildings and places in an easy and logical manner and for the protection of public health and safety of all persons living, working or visiting in the City of Tontitown. SECTION 2. STREET ADDRESS MAP 2.1 The official street Address Map is a part of this ordinance and shall contain the ordinance numbered and certifications which appear upon this document. The map shall identify all named streets, numbering centerlines and block numbering grids which specify address number ranges. A typical section of land shall be divided into 10 blocks, or grids, North/South and East/West. Each grid interval shall be 528 feet except in non-standard areas identified on the map. 2.2 The official Street Address Map shall be automatically updated upon final plat approval of any plat or large scale development. The map shall include a revision block which lists the date and ordinance number of the latest change. SECTION 3. CENTERLINES 3.1 Henri De Tonti Boulevard and it's extension to City of Tontitown's East and West planning area boundary shall be the centerline street for North and South address numbers. Barrington Road and its intersection with Henri De Tonti Boulevard will be the centerpoint for East and West address numbers. The South sector will be divided as follows: S. Barrington Road South to E. Fletcher, then East 528 feet, then due South to planning area boundary. The North sector will be divided as follows: N. Barrington Road North to Liberty Avenue then West 420 feet, then due North to E. Baker Avenue, then West to Sabatini Road. Follow Sabatini Road to planning area boundary. SECTION 4. STREET NAMES 4.1 For the purpose of this ordinance the word "Street" shall mean all roadways, public and private, open for general public travel. Access drives to apartment and commercial complexes shall not be considered as streets and shall not be named as such. 4.2 Streats running East and West shall be identified with the suffix "Avenue" or "Boulevard". Streets running North and South shall be identified with the suffix "Road" or "Street". 4.3 Streets which are also state and federal highways will be identified by their local street name followed by their state or federal designation in parenthesis on the official Street Address Map. For example, Henri De Tonti Boulevard (AR 68). 4.4 Cul-de-sac streets which have only one entrance/exit shall not be called "Avenue" or "Road" but shall have a suffix name such as "Cove, Lane, Place, or Terrace to indicate their dead end nature. 4.5 Loop streets are circular or rectangular plan streets which begin at one point and end at another point along a common street and do not connect to any other streets. The street name suffixes on these streets must not be "Road" or "Avenue" but shall be "Loop, Circle, Court" or other name indicating a closed street layout. SECTION 5. ADDRESS NUMBERS 5.1 Address numbers shall be even on the North and East sides of the street and odd on the South and West sides of the street. 100 numbers shall be assigned to each identified grid block with the lowest number beginning at the point nearest the grid centerline. Address numbers shall be determined by the number grid in which the property is located. 5.2 In new residential subdivisions each standard sized lot shall be given a pre-assigned street number by the CITY CLERK upon final plat approval. Address numbers will be assigned to large lots relative to their capacity to be divided into two or more minimum sized lots for the minimum width allowed by the zoning district. Address numbers shall be assigned to lots in the appropriate odd or even numerical sequence relative to their location, such as 201, 203, 205 etc. 5.3 Address numbers for unplatted residential and all other non-residential buildings shall be determined by calculation. The distance from the center of the driveway to the last corner or grid shall be measured to get a location number. The location number is then divided by 5.28 to get the address. If the block number is 1200 and the location number divided by 5.28 is 43, the address is 1243 or 1244 depending upon which side of the street the building is located. 5.4 When street intersections are within 120 feet of a grid line the number series change shall be made at the intersection to be more logical to the public. When a long block faces two blocks divided by a street, the number series on the long block shall change at the intersecting street so that houses facing each other will have compatible addresses. 5.5 Diagonal streets which run 45 degrees or less from a North/South line will be numbered by the North/South grid and those more than 45 degrees from the North/South line will be numbered by the East/West grid. Curving streets will be assigned numbers based upon the grid of their greatest length. For instance, if the beginning is more South than East of the end then the North/South grid will be used. 5.6 On loop streets and cul-de-sac streets address numbering shall begin at the entrance nearest the grid centerline. Address numbers shall increase or decrease relative to their initial movement from the grid centerline and continue to the opposite and as if the street were in a straight line. Block number changes will be made every 528 feet with odd and even numbers remaining on the same side of the street as they began. 5.7a Apartment buildings on public streets shall be assigned individual addresses. Apartments clustered about a central parking area immediately facing a public street shall also be assigned separate street addresses. 5.7b When apartments are arranged along a private street a sign showing the apartment complex name, with public street address below it, must be posted at the entrance. In these instances each building is lettered A, B, C etc. but a central postal facility for all apartments must be located so it is readily accessible to a mail_carrier for the public street serving the complex. 5.7c Each apartment must be identified on the exterior entrance by number or building letter and number for multiple buildings. The numbers shall be in sequence 1, 2, 3 etc. Apartments in lettered bulidings shall have the building letter as part of each apartment number, such as B-210.

Vistas and view corridors. b. Native plants or trees c. Adjacencies to creeks, streams, open space, hills, etc. 4. Public building, park and facility names should incorporate the functionality of the building, park or facility by simply stating its purpose without further description (for example the "John Smith Community Center''), especially, when a specialized facility may be a part of the park such as sports fields, etc. Special features for the park should be considered in the park name. 5. Consideration should also be given to public building, park and facility names that reflect the geographic location or adjacencies to other City facilities or schools in order to avoid confusion about the geographic location of the building. 6. If a public building, park or facility improvement is acquired or constructed by means of a substantial gift, financial contribution or financial donation by an individual, family or corporation, consideration should be given to recognizing the contribution by incorporating the benefactor's name into the facility name. 7. If a public building that has previously been named is proposed to have its function be moved, or is proposed for relocation, or demolition, or is destroyed through a natural disaster or other act, the City Council shall be provided an opportunity to name the replacement building.
