Furthermore in Figure 8, the address points are located at the access to the driveway from either a township or range road. 3.3 Island Property Addressing Addressing authorities should assign island property numbers at the shore only if they have water access. Doing so assists with emergency response services. Author- ities should assign addresses adhering to the following format: number, water-body name (or abbreviation), island number (or name). As shown in Figure 9, addresses should start at the south end of an island, and islands should receive a similar num- ber assignment as for cul-de-sacs. 4 Civic Address Representation In a GIS, mapping editors should represent civic addresses as point features, and each of these features should be fully contained within a building's outline or within a property's parcel boundary. An address point should be placed at the central posi- tion (i.e., at the centroid) of the parcel boundary (Figure 10), or at the centroid of the building's outline contained within the parcel boundary (Figure 11). Alternatively, an address point can be placed at an offset near the frontage of a par- cel boundary (Figure 12), at a primary entrance or delivery door to a building, or at the driveway entrance of a parcel boundary (Figure 13).
