15 <br />1 - Revision of Orange County Address Ordinance <br />2 - Ordinance will define addressable structures and put legal parameters and <br />3 enforcement measures in place for addressing procedures <br />4 <br />5 <br />6 Commissioner Gordon said that it seems to be taking too long to complete this project. <br />7 It has been going on since 2004. For public safety reasons, she is quite concerned about the <br />8 numbers for the street addresses being out of sequence because it is difficult for emergency <br />9 vehicles to locate a residence. She said the previous county manager told her a house had <br />10 burned down because the response vehicle could not locate the residence. She said she is <br />11 familiar with the concerns in the sequencing of street numbers because she lives on a road, <br />12 and has traveled on other roads, with this problem. <br />13 <br />14 The Board supported moving forward with this project. <br />15 <br />16 8.
