§ 8-21. Numbering system.

A street numbering system has been developed for all primary buildings based upon the following process:

(1)

The starting point of each street is generally determined by its relationship to the intersection of Daniel Webster Highway (Route 3) and Whittier Highway (Route 25). The sequence of numbers advances as the street proceeds away from the designated starting point.

(2)

All primary buildings on the left side will have even numbers.

(3)

All primary buildings on the right side will have odd numbers.

(4)

One odd and one even number will be assigned to each 50-foot interval of road frontage. Exceptions to this rule include:

a.

Densely developed or subdivided areas where numbers will be assigned on the basis of existing parcel configuration and/or development; and

b.

In rural areas, the interval may be greater than 50 feet, as determined by the board of selectmen or their designee.

(5)

If a primary building has several possible numbers due to extensive road frontage or frontage on more than one road, then the assigned number will be at the discretion of the board of selectmen or their designee.

(6)

Unused numbers will be held for future use to ensure against the need for renumbering.

(7)

Duplexes, multifamily complexes, mobile home parks, shopping centers, malls, condominiums and cottage colonies shall be assigned only one number to the primary entrance onto the street. Units shall be internally numbered according to a logical pattern and manner as approved by the board of selectmen or their designee.

(8)

Corner lots shall be assigned the appropriate street number which corresponds to the street on which the building faces or the street from which access is obtained.
