The <br /> proposal is part of County efforts to establish a county-wide <br /> house numbering system. <br /> On June 17, 1988, I received a copy of the attached letter to <br /> Chair Marshall from Mayor Eleanor Kinnaird, Mayor of the Town <br /> of Carrboro. •Included with the letter was a resolution <br /> adopted by the Carrboro Board of Aldermen requesting <br /> that action be delayed on the assignment of house numbers <br /> until such time that the Carrboro Post Office agrees to <br /> provide mail delivery to the residents of Rural Route 11. <br /> The reasons for proceeding with the assignment of house <br /> and building numbers are as follows: <br /> 1. House and building numbers enable emergency services <br /> personnel to identify the location of homes and respond. <br /> faster. <br /> 2. Through assignment using a consistent approach, they <br /> eliminate the necessity of frequent address changes <br /> resulting from the redistribution of rural postal <br /> routes. <br /> • <br /> 3. They assist postal carriers in the delivery of mail. <br /> If the assignment of house numbers on Rural Route 11 is <br /> delayed, the following issues should be addressed; <br /> 1. How long of a delay is reasonable? <br /> • <br />
