NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Bonner County Commissioners will hold a public hearing at the following time on Wednesday, October 17, 2007, in Courtroom 4 of the Bonner County Courthouse, 215 S. First Avenue, Sandpoint, Idaho, to consider the following request:

1:30 P.M. - FILE AM97-07 - ORDINANCE AMENDMENT - TITLE 13 - BONNER COUNTY REVISED CODE, ROAD NAMING, ADDRESSING - BONNER COUNTY is initiating an amendment to Bonner County Revised Code to create a new Title 13 which will standardize road naming and addressing procedures in unincorporated Bonner County. The ordinance is not proposing to change the current system of assigning distance-based addresses to residents. Currently, road naming and addressing procedures are carried out administratively by county staff. However, addressing procedures have not been formally adopted into ordinance. Proposed Title 13 will detail road naming and addressing procedures to ensure consistency and adherence to postal and emergency response standards. The standardized naming and addressing will aid the county in establishing an enhanced 911 emergency response system and will reduce road name and address numbering conflicts. Copies of the proposed ordinance are available at the Planning Department or may be viewed at the Bonner County web site at www.co.bonner.id.us. The Planning & Zoning Commission at its regularly scheduled public hearing of September 13th, recommended approval of this ordinance amendment to the Board of County Commissioners.

Please contact the Bonner County Planning Department the day before the scheduled hearings to verify if this item will be heard on the date and at the time specified or continued to another date and time.

Any person needing special accommodations to participate in the public hearing should contact the Bonner County Planning Department at (208) 265-1458.
