The Director of Public Works is authorized, from time to time as the
convenience of the public may necessitate, to require numbers to be affixed
to and/or inscribed on and/or posted at the street access of all buildings,
including dwelling houses and other structures, in the City of Lebanon. The
Director of Public Works is authorized to determine, in accordance with the
provision of this chapter, the number to be assigned to each building, dwelling
house or structure and the mode, manner and place in which it is inscribed
on and/or affixed to and/or posted at the street access of all such buildings
in the City of Lebanon.
Where the numbers assigned to buildings existing prior to the adoption
of this chapter are in conflict with the determination that would otherwise
be made in accordance with this chapter, the existing numbers shall prevail
until the following conditions are met:
A. The Director of Public Works determines that the convenience
of the public requires that a street or contiguous group of streets be renumbered,
and proposed the renumbering plan to the City Council.
B. A public hearing on the proposed renumbering plan is
held by the City Council.
C. Two thirds of the whole City Council vote in favor of
a motion to adopt the renumbering plan.
The city shall prepare a book containing an outline map or tracing of
each street in the City of Lebanon. The map shall indicate the buildings,
dwelling houses and other structures on each street, together with the length
of frontage allowed for each and the number assigned thereto. Such numbers
shall be distinctively indicated, so that any person can ascertain with convenience
and certainty the number which belongs to each building. The book is to be
kept with the City Clerk for reference and the use of the city.
It shall be the duty of the owner and/or the occupant of any building,
including a dwelling house or other structure, or a part thereof, in the City
of Lebanon, including West Lebanon, to maintain the appropriate number, as
determined by the Public Works Director in accordance with this chapter, for
such building in the manner and place required by the Public Works Director.
Numbers shall be maintained by the owner and/or occupant in such a manner
as to be clearly readable from the street in front of the building.
