[HISTORY: Adopted 10-3-1994 by the Board of Selectmen of
the Town of Somers, effective 10-28-1994. 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 Somers by emergency personnel.
The owner of each residential, commercial or
industrial building shall affix to such building the street number
of such building as assigned by the Town 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 that street. If the
building is more than 100 feet from the road or if the number on the
building is not clearly visible from the street, 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.
For apartments, condominiums, industrial and commercial
buildings, each principal building shall bear the number assigned
the frontage on which the front entrance is located. In case a principal
building is occupied by more than one business or family dwelling
unit, each separate front entrance of such principal building shall
bear a separate number or letter (A, B, C, etc.).
A.
Any person who violates this chapter shall be fined
in an amount not to exceed twenty-five dollars ($25.) for each violation,
with each day to be considered a separate violation. However, any
violations cited within sixty (60) days of the effective date of this
chapter shall be given a warning only.
B.
The Building Inspector or his/her designated agents
shall be responsible for enforcing the provisions and carrying out
the intent of this chapter.
