[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Meeting of
the Town of Killingworth 3-24-1986; amended 5-5-1990. Subsequent amendments noted where applicable.]
It is the intent and purpose of this chapter
to establish an efficient system for the identification of specific
locations in the Town of Killingworth by emergency personnel.
The owner of each residential, commercial or
industrial building, including mobile homes, shall affix to such building
the street number for such building as assigned by the United States
Postal Service in the manner herein specified:
A.
Such number shall be at least three inches in height
and contrast in color to the building.
B.
The number shall be visible from the street to which
it relates.
C.
It shall be affixed either at the top or to the side
of the most main entrance of the building facing the street. If the
building is more than 50 feet from the road, an additional like number
shall be displayed on either a mailbox, post or fence, along the street
line, clearly identifying the property. If affixed on a mailbox such
number shall be placed on both sides of said box.
D.
The owner of any building that has multiple uses or
dwellings shall place the number(s) and name (if applicable) of such
building as specified above or as otherwise agreed with the Chief
of the Killingworth Volunteer Fire Department.
A.
Any person who violates this chapter shall be fined
in an amount not to exceed $250 for each violation, with each day
to be considered a separate violation.
[Amended 6-11-2008]
B.
Failure to comply with the requirements of this chapter
shall be deemed a failure to conform to all state and local regulations
as set forth in the State Building Code, with the result that no certificate
of occupancy shall be issued to any building that is not property
numbered.
