Relieve conditions causing difficulty in locating properties and buildings for Town agencies, the general public and others; and

Provide a uniform system of premises addressing for all properties and addressable structures throughout the Town.

AUTHORITYIC 36-7-4-405 Indiana Planning and Zoning Laws Annotated “The executive of the municipality: (1) must approve the assignment of street numbers to lots and structures; and (2) may number or renumber lots and structures and name or rename streets. (g) An executive acting under subsection (e) or (f) shall name or rename streets: (1) so that their names are easy to understand; and (2) to avoid duplication or conflict with other names. (h) If streets are named or renamed or lots and structures are numbered or renumbered under this section, the commission or executive that makes the naming or numbering decision shall notify: (1) the circuit court clerk or board of registration; (2) the administrator of the enhanced emergency telephone system established under IC 36-8-16, if any; (3) the United States Postal Service; and (4) any person or body that the commission or executive considers appropriate to receive notice; of its action no later than the last day of the month following the month in which the action is taken.”
