A <br /> 3 <br /> 33 <br /> 018 <br /> # k <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Planning Director <br /> FROM: County ,Manager <br /> - <br /> DATE: Januar,Y 26, 1983 <br /> RE: Addresses <br /> At last night's Board Meeting questions were raised by Commissioner <br /> Willhoit about the Road Numbering Policy of the postal service. Changes in <br /> rural route and box numbers are being made by postal officials without regard <br /> to the numberlof address changes (e.g. on credit cards, mail, etc.). This <br /> necessitates do the part of residents. An example of an area recently affected <br /> by this is Moint Carmel Church Road, which is densely populated. <br /> The Road Naming Advisory Committee was interested in developing a house <br /> numbering sch 'me which could remain constant. What is the status of that <br /> interest, and in particular, was-anything done? I understand from Commissioner <br /> Willhoit that counties may assign street numbers in cooperation with postal <br /> officials. This information comes to him from a Mr. Riley, a foreman of rural <br /> delivery in southern Orange County. i would like for you to investigate this <br /> question to s e what action the County might be able to take. Your inquiry <br /> should be made, not just to Mr. Riley, but to the postmasters both <br /> here in Nillsbboraugh and in Chapel Hill . Please give me your findings and <br /> recommendatio1s which I can in turn report back to the Board on March 7. <br /> Kenneth R. Thompson <br /> KRT:nm <br />
