Driveway Turnarounds: A turnaround shall be provided to all building sites on driveways over 300 feet in length, and shall be within 50 feet of the building. Turnarounds are required

traffic on that road. Where a one-way road with a single traffic lane provides access to a gated entrance; a 40 foot turning radius shall be used.
Addressing: All buildings shall be issued an address by the local jurisdiction which conforms to that jurisdiction's overall address system. Accessory buildings will not be required
to have a separate address; however, each dwelling unit within a building shall be separately identified. Size of letters, numbers and symbols for addresses shall be a minimum 4 inch
letter height, ½ inch stroke, reflectorized, contrasting with the background color of the sign. All buildings shall have a permanently posted address,
which shall be placed at each driveway entrance and visible from both directions of travel along the road. In all cases, the address shall be posted at the beginning of construction
and shall be maintained thereafter, and the address shall be visible and legible from the road on which the address is located. Address signs along one-way roads shall be visible from
both the intended direction of travel and the opposite direction. Where multiple addresses are required at a single driveway, they shall be mounted on a single post.
