Road. She said this process just takes time to implement, and residents will have to be notified that an address change is necessary. She said this same situation happened on Apple Mill Road, and this will now be North and South Apple Mill Road. Commissioner Price asked how residents can get ahead of this process, and if they should call staff first. Tammy Walker said staff is trying to work the most critical areas first, but residents can call the Land Records/GIS office at 245-2505 to start the process. Commissioner McKee said he appreciates staff taking this approach. He said he did not expect this project to be so large and time consuming. He appreciates the work that is being done. He still thinks this is a critical issue to be addressed. Commissioner Dorosin asked if the ordinance gives a specific sign or numbering requirement, or if residents can paint or place their own numbers on their property. Tammy Walker said the number has to be visible from both directions on a contrasting background. Dwane Brinson said the number height must be three inches. Commissioner Dorosin clarified that the numbers do not have to be purchased, but can be painted on, as long as it meets the requirements. Tammy Walker said yes, as long as it is contrasting. Commissioner Dorosin asked about the process when residents close off a road. Tammy Walker said staff is working on the closed roads by going through legal. Commissioner Dorosin asked for an explanation of the justification for blocking off roads. Dwane Brinson said this is not known, but efforts are being made to resolve this amicably. Chair Jacobs cited an instance of a resident using gravel to block access to a road. He said this is now a public road, and it will be open and used. Commissioner Dorosin said, if these are public right of ways, it should not take long to open them back up. Chair Jacobs, responding to what Commissioner Gordon suggested, said Carla Banks could possibly help put up an FAQ on the tax website to provide basic information. Commissioner Price asked if the numbers have to be reflective. Tammy Walker said the ordinance specifies that the numbers have to be contrasting. Dwane Brinson said the signs from the fire department are reflective, and this is helpful. Commissioner Rich asked if everyone on the map has been notified of a problem with their numbering. Dwane Brinson said yes. 5. Public Hearings 6.
