C. Plats submitted to the Pitkin County Community Development Department must include a list of requested street names. These names must be approved by the Address Coordinator before the subdivision plat can be approved by Community Development. D. Name/Address Duplication: Roadway names shall not be duplicated in Pitkin County. If proposed roadway names already exist within Pitkin County or are adjacent to the Aspen/Pitkin County Communications Center(APCCC)Pitkin County Regional Emergency Dispatch Center(PCREDC) Public Safety Answering Point boundary zip codes (see attached PSAP map),regardless of whether or not they are the same name as the plat name, they will be denied as duplicates. A road that has the same name as another road but a different suffix or prefix is considered to be a duplicate name. Similar- sounding names, (ie, Ledge and Edge) are considered to be duplications. Names that refer to, are identical or similar to well known places or landmarks (including,but not limited to: park, ski run or lift, bus stop, trail or business names), may be denied as duplicates.Differentiating roadway names by suffix, such as street or avenue is generally prohibited; mer the exceptions are roadways that are directly accessible from the roadway having the same name with a different suffix. (See Figure 1) Example: Oak Circle accessible from Oak Street. Figure 1. Use of Drive, Street and Circle thoroughfare designations. See below: Oak Circle Pine Street ;r _ r. E.

J. Multiple Thoroughfare Name: Roadways shall generally have one name for their entire length. However, several names resulting from a 90 degree turn that proceeds to another 90 degree turn are an exception to this rule. (See Figure 2) K. Broken Roadways Sharing the Same Road Name: Different roadway names should be given to roadways which are broken or separated by an area of land, a park, a railroad track, a waterway or other such obstruction which make it unlikely for the roadways to be connected in the future. (See Figure 3) Figure 2. Figure 3.

Address numbers must be whole numbers, and shall conform to the established Century System standards as outlined below: A. Century System: A nationally recognized uniform system of measurement in which numbers are based on fractions of a mile starting from the origin of a roadway to the start of a property's driveway. The t ieory-behifiEl-this intent is that anyone in a vehicle could find their destination based from an odometer reading. B. Reading the Numbering Century System: The numbering system reads from the right to the left as follows: • The far right number indicates if it will be on the odd or even side of the street. • The second number from the right indicates 1/100th of a mile. • The third number from the right indicates 1/10th of a mile. • The fourth number from the right indicates the single digit number of miles. • The fifth number from the right indicates the miles in double digits. Example 1: If a property is 31.85 miles from the origin of the roadway said address would be in the range of 31850-31859. This address number would then further be defined by its designation of being on the odd or even side of the roadway. Example 2: An address of 232 would be .23 miles from the origin of the roadway and on the even side of the roadway. C. Block Numbering System: An urban centric addressing system where address numbers are based on a uniform street grid. Only areas where the Block Numbering System is currently in use may have new address assignments and routine address maintenance based upon the guidelines of this system. Hundred block ranges should not go beyond an intersection. The numbers should be within the same hundred block from one intersection to the next. D. Parity: All roadways must have an even/odd parity which remains consistent and logical along its entire length, with all addresses along one side being even and all address odd along the other side as one travels along the roadway. Roadways which do not have a consistent parity shall be reassigned as necessary for public safety. New roadways shall be assigned with Even Addresses along the North and East sides of the roadway and Odd Addresses along the South and West sides of the roadway whenever possible. Pitkin County may assign addresses using the simplified Left-Even and Right-Odd methodology on new or existing roadways if it shall be deemed preferable to do so by the Address Coordinator. E. Addressable Structures: Residences, dwelling units, commercial, institutional, or industrial occupancies which are typically occupied by humans will be assigned addresses under this section. Occupied shall be defined as any building with facilities designed for: sleeping, eating, education, or employment of humans. Any structure with a standalone, permitted, or regularly inspected.Fire Protection System and/or alarm system is addressable. Other sites or structures may be addressed upon request where the address may be helpful in emergencies, such as electrical substations, water gates, service boxes, barns,outbuildings, pumping or compressor sites, etc. Such sites may be assigned addresses upon submission of a request by the owner, Public Safety Personnel, utility providers,etc. Pitkin County shall have the discretion to determine the necessity to address such locations. F. Access Routes & Residential Corner Lots: Corner Lots and properties with special access considerations will be addressed on a case by case basis with input from the Fire District which the property is situated in. Structures shall be addressed from the roadway with the frontage for their primary entrance. If the primary access for for fire apparatus will utilize a Fire Department Access Road or a driveway, then the structure(s) will be addressed from where that access road or driveway meets the named roadway, regardless of primary entrance or street orientation. GE. Shared Driveways: If three or more addressable structures are accessed by a single driveway, the driveway shall be renamed as a street. Multiple homes on a single drive shall each be assigned an address that indicates the distance from the street origin to the home. Barns, sheds or other outbuildings are not normally given separate addresses from the residence unless they must be accessed by a separate roadway. - - - - - - - - _- - - , . - . - - . . . , . - _ - , - - .. - , ...- , upon submission of a request by the owner, emergency service providers, utility HD. Townhome Complexes: Townhome buildings shall be provided a single street address based on the location of the driveway that accesses the building. Each unit within is further identified by a number, increasing sequentially from the unit arrived at first on the driveway to the unit arrived at last along the driveway. Example: 620 Everywhere Dr,Unit 12 in this instance the townhome would be located .62 miles from the beginning of Everywhere Dr on the even side of the roadway, and the unit would be the twelfth one passed as one traveled from the beginning to the end of the driveway. Separate numbered addresses may be assigned to townhome units if the townhome building parallels the roadway or each unit has its own driveway or a designated parking area off the roadway immediately in front of the unit. IE. Condominium Buildings: Condominium buildings shall be provided a single roadway address based on the location of the driveway or entrance that accesses the building. Like townhomes,the roadway address number is then followed by a unit number. In condominium buildings, unit numbers typically indicate a floor level, with 100 series numbers indicating the first floor, 200 series the second, and so on. JE. Duplexes: Duplexes shall be assigned two separate numbers. A distinction between units using North/South or A/B is allowed. K. Mobile Home Parks: Mobile Home Parks shall be addressed in a consistent and logical manner. Address will be assigned in the same manner as any other street, subdivision or neighborhood with special attention to parity and access. L. Institutional and Educational Campuses: Addressing will be assigned and correctly signed so that Public Safety Personnel will be able to immediately identify any building or target hazard on a campus. With the higher risks associated with these properties, address, unit numbering, or any other organizational scheme will be re-assigned and corrected as soon as possible if it may be confusing, unclear, or difficult to interpret. MG. Commercial and Agricultural Locations: Commercial buildings or separate businesses located within commercial buildings shall be assigned a physical address in a manner similar to townhomes and/or condominium buildings as previously explained. H. Hundred Block Ranges: Hundred block ranges should not go beyond an intersection. N: Commercial or Mixed Use Buildings which front two or more Named Roadways: Abnormal Cases or those with complex buildings may require addressing on a case by case basis. Address requirements will take into account: Commercial Occupancy type and access, Residential Design Standards which require that the longest block has the entry door, and the requirements of the fire suppression system. Only one numerical address will be issued for each primary multiunit entrance, regardless of the number of units that it accesses. 0: If any Addressable Structure(s) is equipped with Fire Protection and/or Alarm System(s), including but not limited to: Fire Department Connection supplying a sprinkler and/or standpipe system, dry hydrant(s), cistern(s), Fire Alarm Control Panel(s), or any other fire protection or alarm system which may dictate special access,then those systems shall be considered in determining the address side of the structure(s) or in assigning multiple addresses as needed. PI. No address shall begin with zeros. If addresses cannot be determined using the above steps, the Pitkin County Address Coordinator shall make the final determination . 9.08.090: SIGNAGE Roadway signage in Pitkin County shall conform to the standards specified in this manual section. Owners of structures shall display and maintain assigned numbers in a conspicuous place on said structure,in the following manner: A. Address Number on the Structure or Residence: When the residence or structure is within 50 (fifty) feet of the edge of the road right-of-way, the assigned address number shall be displayed at a location on the residence or structure that is easily visible from the roadway.
