September 23, 2013
Whereas the Person County Board of Commissioners has previously adopted Road Naming ordinance and the House,
Building and Mobile Home Numbering ordinance on August 2, 1993; andRoad Naming ordinance and the House,
Building and Mobile Home Numbering ordinance on August 2, 1993.
Whereas the Person County Board of Commissioners found it prudent to coordinate, revise, update and consolidate all
road naming and addressing ordinances into a single document as adopted on September 23, 2013.

amends the ordinance as follows:

database format for recording address information will simplify the maintenance, exchange, and interpretation of
address information between governmental agencies and the community.
An additional purpose of this ordinance is to ensure that street name identification signs are placed at all street
intersections and establishes a procedure for reviewing street names. This is necessary to facilitate public safety and
emergency response service in locating properties and buildings for service to public.
Finally, this ordinance is further designed to establish an official map and Master Address Repository (MAR) listing of all
addresses, streets, and roadways in Person County.

15
Page 12 of 15
duplicate street names; however, the numbering of the second street will have a break of a minimum of one
thousand (1,000) addresses.
B. Addressing Interval ‐ Building numbers shall be assigned consecutively so that a new address is created ideally
every 5.28 linear feet. Addresses will be assigned at the point of access or to a structure point along the front of
the structure. If the driveway enters from the side or rear of the property, the structure shall be addressed on
the street that it fronts at the approximate middle of the structure.
C. Even and odd numbering. Odd numbered addresses shall be assigned to the left in the direction of increase and
even numbered addresses shall be assigned to the right in the direction of the increase.
D. Each mobile home, RV, and/or Travel Trailer within Mobile Home Parks, Travel Trailer Parks, and/or RV parks
shall be assigned a primary 911 address during the permitting process. Addresses shall be assigned from internal
drives, using even and odd addressing. A Mobile Home Park owner may assign lot numbers, but the lot number
shall not be used in the address of the lot. (added 09/04/2018)
E. Addresses in Sequential Order. All addresses need to be in sequential numeric order, always increasing from the
point of origin, and should numerically balance on both sides of the street.
F. Addresses will be established as whole numbers and will not have fractions or decimals of a number.
G. Vacant Properties shall, upon request, be assigned addresses pre‐development for location purposes only, but
once development occurs may have to be readdressed based on the final layout or plan.
SECTION 503. When a street must be renumbered ‐ Official Street Renumbering Process in Person County
It shall be the duty of the Address Coordinator(s) from time to time, and upon request, to review street number
assignments, resolve conflicts in numbers assignment reassign numbers or propose any changes which, in their opinion,
are necessary. When due to conflicts, change in character or amount of occupancy of any block, and it becomes
necessary to assign and reassign numbers within that block, it is the authority and responsibility of Address
Coordinator(s) to assign approved numbers to the owners and tenants of each building involved. The Address
Coordinator(s) will then notify the local postmaster having jurisdiction over that area of the address change.
1. Administration ‐ When renumbering a street it shall be renumbered in accordance to the numbering rules in this
document and in anticipation of possible future changes. Individual numbers can be changed by the Address
Coordinator(s) and do not have to go through the process of a public hearing. When renumbering whole or large
sections of streets the Address Coordinator(s) notifies all adjacent property owners of the proposed street
numbering change. A public hearing is then scheduled to discuss the proposed street numbering. At least 10 days
before the hearing, a notice of the subject matter shall be posted in the county courthouse, and in the local
newspaper for general circulation within the county.
2. Basic guidelines to follow when renumbering a street ‐ Existing addresses may be changed for just cause.
Examples of just cause are:
A. Government Initiated Address Reassignment To Secure the Public's Health, Safety and General Welfare. In the
event an existing Address has jeopardized the public's health, safety, or general welfare by impeding timely
emergency response, or in the event an existing street name reasonably could be perceived to jeopardize the
public's health, safety, or general welfare by impeding timely emergency response.
B. Area where no addresses were left for vacant lot(s) or new development.
C. If the Street Name has officially been changed.

house or building or structure the numbers assigned under the addressing system as provided in this article. The
following criteria must be used to properly display the number:
A. The cost of the number shall be paid for by the property owner and may be procured from any source (example:
hardware store). Such number or numbers shall be placed on existing buildings within 30 days from the
date of notification.
B. The numbers shall be conspicuously placed immediately above, on, or at the side of the proper door of each

driveway or common entrance to such buildings, and affixed upon the gatepost, fence, post or other
appropriate place so as to be easily discernible, and clearly identifies the entrance to a property. Alternatively,
numbers can be posted on an individual US mailbox or US mailbox stand/post for the building if:
1. The US mailbox is distant and separate from any other US mailbox so as to eliminate confusion as to
specific ownership, and;
2. The US mailbox is located adjacent to the driveway or access to said house or building or structure,
and;
3. That said 911 address house or building numbers are affixed to the US mailbox or US mailbox
post/stand in such a manner as to be visible in all lighting and
weather conditions and readable from any and/or all directions from the road or street which it

4. That said house or building and structure numbers on the US mailbox or US mailbox post/stand are
no less than three (3) inches in height.

front of the building facing the street or on the end of the building nearest the street so as to be visible from the
street on which the property fronts.
D. Numbers for multiple dwelling units and nonresidential buildings shall be at least ten (10) inches in height and
shall be placed on the front of the building facing the street or on the end of the building nearest the street in
which the building is accessed.

B. Budget Amendment #3
NEW BUSINESS:
FIRST READING OF A PROPOSED ORDINANCE TO ALLOW THE SALE OF
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES BEFORE NOON ON SUNDAYS AT LICENSED
PREMISES:
In the 2017 legislative session, the General Assembly passed State Law 2017-87
regulating alcoholic beverages. Section 4 of the law enacts new statues authorizing cities
and counties to adopt a local ordinance allowing the sale of alcoholic beverages on licensed
premises beginning at 10:00am on Sundays rather than the restriction of 12:00 noon on
Sundays. No particular procedures are specified, so the general ordinance statues
(GS153A-45) apply. The County Commissioners can adopt the ordinance upon first
reading only by unanimous vote. If it does not pass unanimously, it must be considered at
the board’s next regular meeting and may be adopted by a simple majority. No special
notice or public hearing is required and this ordinance will only be applicable within the
unincorporated areas of the county and applies to any ABC permit holder, which includes
restaurants, hotels, and convenience stores. The Roxboro City Council would have to adopt
their own ordinance or adopt a resolution to extend this ordinance within the city limits.
County Manager, Heidi York clarified the effective date of the ordinance could be
the date of ordinance adoption or any date the Board of Commissioners specified.
Chairman Kendrick requested Board action on the proposed Ordinance to allow the
sale of alcoholic beverages on Sundays at 10:00am.
A motion was made by Commissioner Puryear and carried 4-1 to adopt an
Ordinance to Allow the Sale of Alcoholic Beverages before Noon on Sundays at Licensed
Premises. Commissioner Clayton cast the lone dissenting vote. As the action by the Board
was not unanimous, a Second Reading of the proposed Ordinance will be placed on the
Board of Commissioners’ September 4, 2018 agenda.

GROUNDWATER MONITORING AT THE OLD LANDFILL:
General Services Director, Ray Foushee made the Board aware of six groundwater
wells at the old County landfill located on Cedar Grove Church Road which are sampled
twice a year by the County’s consulting company with results sent to the NC Solid Waste
Section for their review. Upon receiving the May 2018 report, the NC Waste Management
and Environmental Quality sent the County a letter stating that the samples contained
concentrations of various chemicals that exceed the NC Groundwater Standards. Mr.
Foushee stated that Person County was subject to corrective actions and shall initially
submit a Groundwater Assessment Plan to assess the cause, significance, and extent of the
contamination.
Mr. Foushee said Person County secured a Groundwater Assessment Plan Proposal
from Smith Gardner, Inc., at an estimated cost for the corrective action report at $6,500.
Smith Gardner anticipates the assessment will require the installation of up to four
additional sampling wells and subsequent monitoring of those wells with projected costs
at approximately $15,000. Mr. Foushee said the County has monitoring requirement at the
old landfill for 30 years past closure which will term in 2024.
Mr. Foushee requested the Board to approve the Smith Gardner Assessment
Proposal noting the County has 90 days from June 25, 2018 to present the State an
Assessment Plan.
A motion was made by Commissioner Clayton and carried 5-0 to approve the
Smith Gardner proposal as presented and to fund the requested $21,500 from Contingency.

AGENDA ABSTRACT
Meeting Date: September 4, 2018
Agenda Title: Resolution requesting that the Eno-Haw Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan
add Person County and the City of Roxboro to the Eno-Haw Regional Multi-Jurisdictional
Hazard Mitigation Plan
Summary of Information:
The Department of Emergency Services Emergency Management Division is requesting that
Person County and its municipality, the City of Roxboro joint Hazard Mitigation Plan be added
to the Eno-Haw Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan in accordance with guidance provided by
FEMA and NC Emergency Management. On October 30, 2000, the President of the United
States signed into law the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 to amend the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act of 1998 to reinforce the importance of pre-
disaster mitigation planning to help reduce disaster losses. North Carolina Senate Bill 200
requires all local governments to have an approved Hazard Mitigation Plan in order to receive
state public assistance funds.
Joining this Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan will reduce our on-going required
planning update costs and enhance our mitigation planning with area resources and data.
Recommended Action:
It is recommended that the Board of Commissioners approve this resolution to merge Person
County’s Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan with the Eno-Haw Regional Hazard
Mitigation Plan. And that the County’s Emergency Management Coordinator be the County’s
representative as needed.
Submitted By: Douglas Young, Emergency Services Director
