1. Multi-Family Housing. Assign a primary road address, with numbers (not letters) as secondary location indicators, e.g., 111 Main St., Apt. 1. Use apartment numbers to indicate the floor location, e.g., Apt. 303 (or 3C) is the third apartment on the third floor.

2. Circular Roads. Numbering should begin at the point where emergency responders are most likely to enter the road, so numbers will ascend as responders search for a location. Where there is no obvious end with greater traffic flow, it is recommended that the starting point be selected at the end closer to the designated numbering origin. Whatever method is selected, apply it consistently within the community.

3. Corner Lots. Assign a number according to where the front door faces the road. There may be instances, however, when a corner lot might be numbered based on its driveway, if it made more sense from an emergency responder perspective.

4. Cul-de-Sacs. Those without buildings in the center portion should be numbered as if the center line of the street bisects the cul-de-sac with odd numbers on the right and even numbers on the left. The numbers meet at the far end of the center area. When a structure occurs in the middle of the circle, number that structure in a way that best fits, such as according to where the front door faces.

5. Duplexes. Assign a primary road address.

6. Islands and Peninsulas. On river, lake, or coastal islands with roads, properties should be numbered as any area with roads. On islands without roads, properties can be numbered as follows: Pick a compass point on the island, zero degrees North, for example. Assign odd addresses to lots on the west side of the island, with numbers ascending towards the south. Assign even numbers to lots on the east side, with numbers also ascending towards the south. Use the minimum water frontage requirement for lots on the island as a numbering interval to leave room for additional structures to be built on vacant lots. The road name will be that of the island, resulting in an address such as “4 Goat Island.” If an island does not have a name, consider naming it as a formerly unnamed road might be.

7. Mobile Home Parks. A mobile home park can be assigned one address on the main road, followed by a numeric unit or lot number for the individual homes, such as an apartment building would be numbered.

8. Office Suites. Numbers should be assigned with a primary road address, followed by a numbered (not lettered) secondary location indicator, e.g., 325 Memorial Drive, Suite 312. Suite numbers should also be used to indicate which floor location.

9. Shopping Center. Numbers can be assigned to businesses within the range available to the property.

10. Historical Addresses. Addresses for Akhiok, Old Harbor, Ouzinkie, Port Lions, Larsen Bay, and Karluk are based on historical addressing maps maintained by the Kodiak Island Borough.

11. Remote Areas. Properties in remote and unincorporated areas will be assigned a geoaddress, based on the United States National Grid (USNG). Example:

AFOGNAK WILDERNESS LODGE

USNG: 5VNE4444070833

SEAL BAY, AFOGNAK ISLAND

KODIAK, AK 99615 [Ord. FY2016-20 §3, 2016].
