A. 
All requests for new streets within the City shall be referred to the Planning Board for a report and recommendation.
B. 
The City Council may, at its discretion, accept any street dedicated for City ownership that has been constructed to City standards consistent with Articles VII and VIII of Chapter 157, Land Division Regulations, of the Code of the City of Dover. The City Council may refuse to accept any dedicated street for any reason, including but not limited to a street in which easements, utility or otherwise, have been granted to third parties prior to City acceptance, a street which has not been constructed to City standards, or a street which has not been constructed consistent with Planning Board conditions of approval.
C. 
The Director is authorized to establish and publish rules, regulations, and procedures, including general construction requirements related to the standards for construction of public roads and sidewalks, including but not limited to the placement of utilities in the public road or sidewalk. These rules, regulations, and procedures shall be subject to review and approval by the City Manager, and a copy shall be filed with the City Clerk.
A. 
Any new public road or private road with four or more lots fronted on the public road or private road shall be assigned a street name pursuant to Subsection B.
B. 
Any new street name, public or private, shall be approved and assigned, in writing, by the Building Official, following consultation with the Police Chief and Fire and Rescue Chief.
C. 
Any new public road or private road assigned a street name pursuant to Subsections A and B shall have a street name sign at any entrance to the street which conforms to the City street name sign guidelines as prepared by the Community Services Department. The owner(s) of any private road shall be responsible for maintaining all street name signs on such road.
A. 
No person shall erect, post, or display any sign within 20 feet of a public road or private road which purports to be, or may be mistaken to be, a street name sign unless the street name has been reviewed and approved pursuant to § 125-4. The cost and responsibility of erecting such a sign shall be that of the party applying to the Building Official for approval. The approved sign shall conform to the City street name sign guidelines as prepared by the Community Services Department. Any private road sign shall clearly denote its status as a private road.
B. 
No public road or private road shall be named with a name that is the same as or similar to that of an existing public road or private road within Dover. If a public road or private road is so named, the City Manager may petition the City Council to order the name to be changed. Upon receipt of the City Manager's petition, the City Council shall hold a public hearing to determine if there are public safety reasons to order the name of the public road or private road to be changed. The City Clerk shall give notice of the public hearing to the owners of all property abutting the public road or private road that is the subject of the hearing. Notice shall be given by certified mail, mailed to the owners at least 10 days prior to the hearing. If after the hearing the City Council determines that it is in the interest of public safety that the name be changed, it shall declare the name to be a public nuisance and order it changed. The City Attorney is authorized to initiate any court proceedings necessary to enforce the order.
The Building Official may order the buildings on any public road or private road to be numbered or may order any such buildings to be renumbered and shall then require the number designated for each building to be affixed thereto or inscribed thereon. The Building Official shall, upon application in writing, designate the number or numbers required for any building that may hereafter be erected or any building to which numbers have not previously been assigned if, in his/her judgment, such action is necessary. Prior to finalizing the Building Official's designation, the Planning Board shall hold a public hearing with at least 10 days' notice, posted in at least two public places within the City, by publication in a newspaper in circulation in the City, and by first-class mail to all owners of property being numbered or renumbered, as indicated by City records. No public hearing shall be required where said property owner(s) voluntarily consent(s) to the numbering or renumbering by the Building Official.
A. 
The numbers shall be designated in such a manner so that a number will be assigned or reassigned to every 50 feet of street frontage.
B. 
The numbers, assigned or reassigned, shall be attached to the building in such a manner and in such a place as to be easily seen from the public road or private road. Furthermore, such numbers shall be placed in a location so that they can be seen from the public road or private road, if necessary, to ensure rapid location by police, fire or other emergency personnel during hours of darkness. Buildings located in rural-type locations, or located in such a manner that the above requirement is inappropriate, shall be identified at the intersection of the entryway to the property the building is on and the public road or private road, and the number shall be of sufficient size to be easily seen by the operator of a vehicle approaching said entryway.
