(1) Official Map. The official map establishes base lines, divides Electric City into four quarter sections, and sets forth a grid numbering system.

(2) Quadrant System. A quadrant street-numbering system depends on the use of base lines to divide the municipality into sections which are identified by the nearest appropriate compass designation. In this system a directional suffix or prefix is used with the street name to indicate the quadrant location of the street in question. Quadrants are north, south, east, and west; other times they are designated as northwest, northeast, southwest, and southeast.

(3) Base Lines. “Base lines” can be defined as those lines which divide a municipality into identifiable sectors, here the city’s north/south base line starts at Banks Lake heading south towards Western Avenue and continuing south until the Coulee wall. The east/west base line begins at the corporate city limits west of the causeway at milepost 25.2 on Hwy 155 heading NE on Coulee Boulevard toward Western and ending at the city limits of Electric City and Grand Coulee. Thus the city is divided into four quarter sections: northwest, northeast, southwest, and southeast.

(4) If a city street begins and ends in a north-south direction, it is considered a north-south street, if it begins and ends in an east-west direction it is considered an east-west street. Address numbers on the north-south streets will have even numbers on the east side of the street and odd numbers on the west side. On east-west streets, even numbers will be assigned to the south side and odd numbers to the north side.

(5) Corner lots will receive an address which corresponds to the street that the principal entrance to the building fronts. On cul-de-sacs with five or fewer lots the numbers assigned will continue with those of the main street, where there are six or more lots then the numbers will continue with that of the main street but with the even, odd system. Multiple dwellings and malls will be assigned one number and the individual units or suites will be assigned letter designators, i.e., A, B, C, etc. (Ord. 501 § 1, 2015)
