[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees
of the Village of Pomona 9-21-1992 by L.L. No. 4-1992. Amendments noted where
applicable.]
As used in this chapter, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
The principal building or buildings on each lot, and shall
not be deemed to include any minor building.
The Village Building Inspector is hereby authorized
to decide which building or buildings on any particular lot shall
be numbered.
It shall be the duty of every owner of a building
in the Village of Pomona to cause to be displayed thereon the street
number of said building and at all times to maintain such number in
compliance with the provisions of this chapter.
A.
The figure or figures comprising the number to be
displayed on a building shall be at least three inches in height and
shall be placed on the front of said building in a prominent and conspicuous
place and in such manner as to be plainly legible from the center
of the street at all times between sunrise and sunset. The color of
said figures shall be in sharp contrast to the color of their background;
provided, however, that so far as the purpose or intent of this chapter
is concerned, the front of a building shall be construed as that side
of the building which faces the street on which the number or numbers
of such building or premises have been allotted, and that the number
or numbers shall be displayed on such side of such building or premises.
B.
The numbers shall be so placed that they will not
be obstructed by trees, shrubbery, porches or other extensions of
the building.
C.
Wherever practicable, said number shall be placed
near some light or source of illumination so that it may be readily
seen at night.
D.
Where the building upon which the number is to be
displayed is more than 75 feet from the edge of the right-of-way (whether
improved or not) of the street or road serving the building, the number
shall, in addition to the other requirements of this chapter, be displayed
on a sign readily visible from the road or street and in no event
further back than 25 feet from said road or street right-of-way.
Each separate building or dwelling shall be
assigned a separate distinguishing number by the Village Board of
the Village of Pomona in conformity with a uniform numbering system
encompassing the entire village. The display of any house number other
than the number assigned by the Village is expressly prohibited.
A.
Noncompliance deemed a violation. Any person, corporation,
partnership or other entity owning a building within the Village of
Pomona refusing or neglecting for 60 days after notice from the Village
Building Inspector to place the proper designated number on said building
shall be deemed in violation of this chapter.
B.
Service of notice. The notice provided for in Subsection A may be given by personal service or by mailing a copy thereof to the last known address of the owner.
C.
Numbering of buildings by village. In the event of
the neglect or refusal of any owner, after notice, to cause said building
to be properly numbered, the Building Inspector of the Village of
Pomona may cause said building to be properly numbered.
D.
Report; assessment of costs. The Building Inspector
shall report the cost of numbering said building to the Village Board,
and such board shall order the Assessor to assess the cost of the
same upon such premises, and the Assessor shall include the same in
the next assessment roll.
Any person violating any of the provisions of
this chapter shall, upon conviction, be punishable by a fine not to
exceed $250 or by imprisonment for a term not to exceed 15 days, or
both.
All residents and/or property owners shall be
required to notify NYNEX of their current and accurate address.
