[Adopted 4-9-2001 by Ord. No. 2001-8]
It shall be the duty of the owner of any building or structure within
the Township to affix and display an identifying emblem indicating said building
or structure contains truss construction.
The emblem shall be an approved bright and reflective color or made
of reflective material. The emblem shall present a visible contrast to the
building face to which it is attached. The shape of the emblem shall be an
isosceles triangle and the size shall be 12 inches horizontally by six inches
vertically. The following letters, of a size and color to make them conspicuous,
shall be printed on the emblem: "F" to signify a floor with truss construction:
"R" to signify a roof with truss construction or a "F/R" to signify both a
floor and roof with truss construction.
The emblem shall be permanently affixed to the left of the main entrance
door to the building at a height between four feet to six feet above the ground
and shall be installed and maintained by the owner of the building. Said emblem
shall be located clearly visible from the curbline of the street. Detached
single- and two-family dwellings or accessory structures thereto with truss
construction that are not part of a planned real estate development shall
not be required to have an identifying emblem. Individual structures and dwelling
units with truss construction that are part of a planned real estate development
shall not be required to have an identifying emblem if there is an emblem
affixed at each entrance to the development.
The Fire Marshall shall have the authority to approve an alternate location
for the identifying emblem where the configuration of the structure shall
prevent or diminish visibility of the emblem from the curbline of the street.
The owner of each existing structure with truss construction shall,
within 180 days of the effective date of this article, affix an identifying
emblem on the structure as required by the provisions of this article.
