[Amended 12-3-2002 STM by Art. 13]
All houses, businesses, and structures shall properly display
at the front thereof, in a position easily observed from the street
on a year-round basis, the proper number of the building assigned
by the Town.
In cases where a house, business or structure is not visible
from the street or the distance is too great for a reasonable size
number to be easily observed from the street, a sign no larger than
eight inches by 12 inches shall be posted at the driveway connection
designated by the proper house, business or structure number in such
a way as to be seen by oncoming emergency vehicles. This sign may
be substituted with a number on a mailbox affixed in such a way as
to be seen by oncoming emergency vehicles as long as that mailbox
is located within 20 feet of the driveway connection designating the
proper house.
In cases where more than one house, business or structure shares
a common driveway, and the buildings are not visible from the street,
or the distance is too great for a reasonable size number to be easily
observed from the street year round, a sign no larger than eight inches
by 12 inches shall be posted at the driveway connection in such a
way as to be seen by oncoming emergency vehicles. The sign shall designate
the range of numbers for which the driveway services. Each driveway
branching off the common driveway shall post a sign no larger than
eight inches by 12 inches designating the number of that building
as to be seen by oncoming emergency vehicles.
Each figure shall be a least three inches in height and 3/4
inch in width. There shall be no more than two inches between numbers.
Said numbers shall contrast with their background.
[Amended 12-3-2002 STM by Art. 13]
In cases where a house, business or structure remains unnumbered
or where it may have been numbered and the number has since been lost,
or destroyed or defaced as to be illegible, the owner, agent or other
person as herein provided shall cause said house, business or structure
to be numbered within 20 days after official notification, in writing,
by the Zoning Enforcement Officer.
Any violation of this bylaw will result in a fine of not more
than $10 per day. No permit of any other kind (i.e., building, electrical,
etc.) shall be issued by the Town if a house, business or structure
is in violation.
