interest of businesses to finalize <br />address change tasks within a short <br />period of time. <br />(+) BENEFITS: An address in sequence with surrounding <br />address patterns would allow for quicker <br />emergency service response, and would <br />result in the business being more easily <br />located by potential customers. <br />Emergency -Services: <br />(N/A) COSTS: Building number requirements would result <br />in no cost to emergency services. <br />(+) BENEFITS: Emergency services response to calls <br />would be greatly enhanced, with field <br />personnel able to follow logical building <br />number patterns. <br />Postal Service: <br />(N/A) COSTS: Building number requirements would result <br />in no additional costs to the Postal <br />Service. <br />(+) BENEFITS: The Postal Service would be able to <br />provide better service to those buildings <br />with addresses presently difficult to <br />locate. <br />(2) IMPACT OF PROPOSED ROAD DESIGNATION REQUIREMENTS <br />The ordinance as proposed would require that roads in the County <br />be identified by a "number" designation, instead of or in addition <br />to "name" designations. With reference to existing "name" roads, <br />the ordinance would require that road signs presently without <br />"number" designations be brought into conformance over time as the <br />signs deteriorate or become missing. <br />County Administration <br />H COSTS: The County would undergo additional costs <br />to what is already spent on public road <br />signs, but only in cases where dual (name <br />and number) designations occur. There <br />are an estimated 1,500± intersections of <br />public roads in the County, of which <br />approximately 500 exist that would be <br />subject to signs with dual designations. <br />Under the proposed ordinance, the County <br />would retain the option of issuing dual <br />designations (i.e.: memorial and/or <br />historic road names), though it is <br />anticipated that most public roads would <br />continue to be designated with a number <br />only. In using cost estimates provided <br />by the County Traffic Engineer the <br />following cost estimates are presented: <br />Present Estimated Sign Budget: <br />1,500 intersections (total) @ 1.5 blades <br />per intersection = <br />2,250 blades at $5.77 = $12,982.50 <br />Annual budget based on 5 yr. <br />life of sign = $2,596.50 <br />27 Boor 70 64 <br />
