This chapter only applies to the rural district on the borough. Addressing systems adopted by the incorporated cities within the borough are recognized and are not altered by this chapter.

The committee shall meet from time to time as needed and at the call of the planning director. C. The committee may consider public testimony on particular addressing issues. 14.20.030 Address defined. The term address as used in this chapter means a logical numb assigned to houses and buildingx in sequential order along streets, as defined in Chapter 14.10, and serving as a distinct physical location for responding to an emergency and delivery of other public and private services. 14.20.040 ~yddressin~svs^tent. A. Numbering of addresses shall be based on a uniformly numbered grid system emanating in four quadrants from the primary north-south and east-west base lines described as follows: 1. The north-south base line is the line common to Ranges 4 and 5 West of the Seward Principal Meridian, Alaska. 2. The east-west base line is the tine common to Townships 1 North and 1 South, being the Seward Base Line, Alaska. 3. The Seward Principal Meridian and the Seward Base Line are defined by the United States Rectangular Survey System. B. The numerical values of the grid system shall be ordered as follows: 1. The primary base lines are assigned the value of 10000. 2. At each mile distant in cardinal directions from the base lines the grid is incremented by the value of 1,000, i.e. a location that is 5 miles north of the east-west base line bears the grid address of north 15,000 and a location that is 20 miles east of the north-south base line bears the grid address of east 20000. 3. There being 1,000 numbers to each mile provides the means to accurately establish an individual address for houses and buildings within a tolerance of 5.28 feet. For example, a house that is located on an east-west street 2,350 feet westerly of grid mile west 33,000 would be correctly addressed by the formula: Ken~u Panioaula 8orougb, Ateaica Ordioaace 92-0Q . Page S of 7 ,. ..: -~ .: . 2,350-(5280+ 1000) = a45 + 33000 ~ 33445. Thus 33445 is the correct address for that location on any east-west street west of the primary north-south base line. C. Individual addresses shall be assigned using the following conventions: I. Houses and buildings on the northerly and easterly sides of streets shall have even numbers. 2. Houses and buildings on the southerly and westerly sides of streets shalt have odd numbers. 3. Houses and buildings on corner lots shall have an address determuned by the Iocadon of the main entrance facing a sweet. 4. Apartment houses with a common entrance shall have one address. 5. Buildings with multiple entrances shall have an individual address for each individual primary entrance facing a street. D. Curvilineal or winding streets and Ioop sweets, not conforming to the cardinal grid shall be addressed according to the following: 1. The initial and thereafter the dominant direction of the street shall control which axis of the grid will be used to calculate the beginning number. ~ 2. The addresses shall be numbered sequentially along the street, based on the distance from the initial address, regardless of change in direction. 3. Individual addresses shall be assigned according to the convention under 14.20.040(C). 14.20.050 ..Pre-existing.~ddresses. Notwithstanding the provisions of seotson 14.20.040, those addresses which have been previously established by a nonofficial agency and which have been posted, recognized and serve as adequate locational numbers shall be officially adopted. to the extent possible. 14.020.060 „j~e ote communitie$,_ villages. A. There are unincorporated communities and villages within the borough that are separated from the major populated area by a major topographic feature or distance. It is recognized that the grid system def ned under 14.20.20 may not be practicable or necessary for those remote locations. B. Upon consideration of local concerns, future expansion, public safety and delivery of services, the Addressing Committee may establish a local system more suitable for the area using the following general guidelines: 1. If the layout of existing streets and topography is such that a local grid system is practicable the axis of the grid should be established at a location which allows all addresses to lie in one quadrant of the grid. 2. In the absence of an acceptable grid system an incremental numbering system may be employed for each individual street with the addresses emanating from an appropriate major thoroughfare. 3. There should be 1,000 numbers per mile, similar to 14.20.040(8)(3). C.
