[R.O. 2006 §510.020; Ord. No. 1341, 9-16-2003]
The Director of Public Works shall have the right to number
or renumber any block, house, building or other structure or the plural
thereof as he/she in his/her discretion may deem necessary. He/she
shall establish such rectifying lines as may be necessary for the
numbering of any new districts but not so as to conflict with the
lines hereby established.
[R.O. 2006 §510.030; Ord. No. 1341, 9-16-2003]
A base line and a central base line are hereby established.
The base line shall begin at the east City limits of Warrenton and
extend west along Main Street, including the angular road leading
to the Warrenton Cemetery, to the Warrenton City limits and the said
central base line shall be Market Street as it now exists and running
north and south through the City of Warrenton and if extended north
or south to the north and south City limits.
[R.O. 2006 §510.040; Ord. No. 1341, 9-16-2003]
There shall be one (1) number allowed for every seventy (70)
feet of vacant ground, building, house or structure, except in the
business section where there shall be a number for every door. There
shall be a full number assigned for any building, house or structure
of seventy (70) feet in width or for every door in the business section.
There shall also be assigned a half number for any building, house
or structure passageway leading from any street to rear of premises
less than seventy (70) feet in width. There shall also be assigned
a full number with letter "A" for any entrance leading directly from
any highway to any second (2nd) floor apartment regardless of the
purpose for which said apartment is to be used. All said numbering
shall be done as directed by the Director of Public Works. All numbers
shall be assigned to meet the said door openings as nearly as possible.
[R.O. 2006 §510.050; Ord. No. 1341, 9-16-2003]
The responsibility for the proper numbering of each residence,
building or other structure on the street front and, if there be an
alley entrance, also at the alley entrance to the premises on which
a said residence, building or other structure is located shall rest
upon its owner, trustee, lessee, agent or occupant who shall cause
the same to be numbered. The number shall be placed on the front of
the residence, building or other structure over or on either side
of the entrance, the said numbers to be of paint or metal and at least
four (4) inches in height, the color of the numbers to be in contrast
to the immediate background and shall be so placed as to be in full
view from the opposite side of the street. Where the front of the
residence, building or other structure is more than one hundred fifty
(150) feet from the center of the road or street, an additional address
sign, not vulnerable to damage by snow plows, delivery trucks or other
hazards, shall be placed adjacent to the driveway leading to the building
or residence. It shall further be unlawful to cover any address number
with any sign, drapery or other obstruction tending to conceal such
number. All old numbers must be removed from any residence, building
or other structure when a new number has been assigned or when so
directed by the Director of Public Works. The address number shall
be placed conspicuously at the said alley entrance, the same to be
of paint or metal figures, not less than four (4) inches high. The
Director of Public Works is hereby authorized to require the numbering
and renumbering of any residence, building or other structure and
the alley entrance thereof in accordance with his/her directions.
