In some instances, addresses are charted on a <br /> case-by-case basis. <br /> To properly chart a new address, several factors are considered. These factors include: existing <br /> addresses, provided they are properly charted; the existing grid numbers from county maps; the exact <br /> location of the driveway intersection with the named road; and existing addresses using the same <br /> driveway. As noted above, a site plan, drawn to scale, including lot lines and lot dimensions, and any <br /> approved Driveway Permit information from the Town, is essential. In subdivisions, previously <br /> assigned addresses in adjacent plats must also be considered. There are numerous duplicate road names, <br /> including some in the same general geographical area, so care must be taken to avoid confusing number <br /> duplication. All of the above factors are part of the necessary steps to properly assign rural addresses. <br /> More infoimation about rural addressing can be found in Chapter 76 of the Dane County Code of <br /> Ordinances, available on the Dane County website, at www.CountyofDane.com. <br /> Please allow 1-3 weeks to process your request. A nominal fee may be assessed for the address <br /> assignment in accordance with sec. 12.05(16), Dane County Code of Ordinances. <br /> H:\Zonins\RURAL ADDRESSING\ Documentation\Rural address description and form2.doc <br />
