Any public street or private drive which is more than 200 feet and serves more than 4 dwellings will be required to have a street name. The development has 1 public street which requires an approved street name. Please submit names for review as soon as possible.
All street names must be approved by the City of Wilmington. Proposed street names should be submitted to one of the following City employees for approval:
Once the names are approved, they will be placed on a reserve list to be used for Woodlands At Echo Farms
Approved street names must be properly labeled on all final construction plans and final plats submitted to the City. Failure to properly label the names may result in the re-submittal or re-recording of a construction plan or plat.
Street name signs for public and private streets must be erected before a Certificate of Occupancy is issued. Contact Traffic Engineering at 910.341.7888 for information about street signs for this project.

Street names must be a minimum of three (3) characters and a maximum of twenty-four (24) characters in length (Addressing Standards and Procedures, Section 2.2.1 and 2.2.2).
Street names should avoid the use of special characters, such as hyphens, apostrophes, or periods (Addressing Standards and Procedures, Section 2.2.3).
