Director Keating advised that there would be no requirement <br />for those signs to be changed until they either become obsolete, <br />are destroyed, or are to be replaced for some reason. -- <br />Commissioner Eggert raised a question about subdivisions <br />having the responsibility to make sure the police, ambulances, <br />etc., can find their way around within that subdivision. <br />Director Keating noted that staff looks at a subdivision <br />when it comes in to be sure it conforms so that emergency <br />vehicles will be able to find addresses in a logical sequence. <br />Commissioner Eggert commented that there have been some that <br />calls came in to 911 from a location where they did not have a - <br />grid number, and she asked if that problem would that be <br />eliminated with central dispatch. <br />Emergency Management Director Doug Wright believed one of <br />the problems Commissioner Eggert is alluding to is that a truck <br />driver will observe an incident on 1-95 and then go to a truck <br />stop to make a call from a different location. We may still have <br />that problem, but this has been discussed and the dispatcher will <br />be instructed on how to handle that situation. <br />The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. <br />Fred Mensing, resident of Roseland, wished to address two <br />things. His first point was that there are a number of homes in <br />the county that are far back off the road, and he felt the <br />ordinance should state that if the home is not located within a <br />certain distance of the road, the numbers should be displayed on <br />a sign at a certain distance from the street. Another thing that <br />distressed him is giving up all the traditional names of the <br />community. The Roseland area is 100 years old, and he did not <br />want the historic names lost because of a numbering system. Mr. <br />Mensing argued that the 911 system can work with names as well as <br />numbers and urged the Board not to eradicate history. <br />Planner DeBlois reiterated that this ordinance does not <br />eliminate the names; it simply requires numbers in addition to <br />the name. <br />OCT 13 M71 5 BOOK 69 FD:,r 657 <br />
