Comments from GIS Division/Address & Street Name Management
Project Address
Overall Project Site address is approved as 7500 Masonboro Sound.
Development Name
A formal development name should be submitted for review and approval.
The development name Masonboro Village is not approved for use for this development. There is already a subdivision using the name of Masonboro Village in the NHC tax record.
Street Names
Any private street/alley will be required to have a street name. The development has 10 private roads/alleys which require an approved street name. Please submit a list of 15-20 names for review as soon as possible. If you would like to be sent a list of current street names in use, names to avoid while submitting your list for review, please email me, and I will send the list. The road segments needing a name are as follows:
1) Road A/Road C are the same road continuing thru the roundabout
2) Alley A
3) Road C (coming off of road A above Alley A)
4) Road E/Road D are the same road continuing thru the roundabout
5) Alley B
6) Stub coming from Alley B
7) Alley C
8) Road F
9) Road G
10) Road H
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:
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 may not duplicate, sound-alike, or be similar to any other street name or development name in New Hanover County (Addressing Standards and Procedures, Section 2.2.5).
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).
Street names should avoid the use of words or syllables that may be confused with directional or street type designations (i.e. Northglen Dr or Circle Dr) (Addressing Standards and Procedures, Section 2.2.4).
Continuous streets passing from one existing subdivision to a new one should continue the same name (Addressing Standards and Procedures, Section 2.3.4).

Please reference this document for additional information about street suffix usage (Section 2.4.1) and other details or rules regarding street naming and addressing.
Final dwelling/unit addresses
Individual dwelling and/or unit addresses will be assigned upon final site plan approval and will be based on approved street names.
Lot numbers should be labeled on site plan. Lot numbers shown on site plan should not be used as unit/dwelling address.
No issues with Fire access. However, it did appear there were some lots that did not meet the 500’ hydrant requirement. Please address the following:
- Show a hydrant within 500’ of all subdivision lots by road.
Please add the following Fire & Life Safety Notes to the Plan:
- Contractor shall maintain an all-weather access for emergency vehicles at all times during construction
- Landscaping or parking cannot block or impede the fire hydrants. A 3-foot clear space shall be maintained around the circumference of all hydrants
- Additional fire protection and/or accessibility requirements may be required due to any special circumstances concerning the project.
