The 9-1-1 emergency map prepared in coordination
with the Franklin Township Tax Assessor, entitled the "Official 9-1-1
Emergency Street Number Map of the Township of Franklin" (hereinafter
"Official Map"), is hereby adopted as the official street numbering
map. The Official Map, along with a duplicate certified true copy,
shall be maintained on file in the office of the Township Clerk and
the Township Tax Assessor, respectively.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: The names of the individuals
responsible for preparation of the Official Map have been deleted
from the Code since they are not general or permanent in nature.
There is hereby established a numbering system
for buildings and improved lots, as well as vacant lots and future
lots within the Township of Franklin, in the County of Warren, State
of New Jersey, in accordance with the Official Map. Said Official
Map and numbering system is further established for coordination with
the new state-wide and County-wide 9-1-1 Emergency System.
It is hereby declared unlawful for any building
or vacant lot to be numbered otherwise than by and with the number
designated for that building or vacant lot, as shown on the Official
Map. In the case of conflict as to the proper number to be assigned
to any building or vacant lot, the Township Assessor's decision shall
be final.
The owner of each building within the Township
must, within 30 days of final passage of this chapter, procure and
affix to the building, at the owner's cost and expense, the number
designated for that building as depicted on the Official Map. The
number shall be a minimum of three inches in height and shall be affixed
to the building in a manner so as to be clearly visible from the street,
provided that, where the building is of such distance that a number
could not be clearly visible, the number shall be posted where the
street meets the main ingress road to the property. In furtherance
of this numbering system, all existing post office numbers, street
numbers or other numbers intended to designate the address of the
building shall be removed.
At the time of application for any construction
permit for a new building within the Township, the owner of said building
must obtain from the Township Tax Assessor the designated number for
that building, which such number shall be in accordance with the Official
Map and numbering system plan, which said number shall be used in
said building permit application. The Township Assessor, upon assigning
a number within the system for a new or missed building, will notify
the Township Emergency Manager Coordinator of the full names of the
owners and their address, using the new number, in order for the Emergency
Manager Coordinator to change and keep up-to-date the master list
and Official Map. No building permit shall be issued by the Township
Building Inspector until the applicant for the permit has submitted
proof that the designated building number has been obtained from the
Municipal Tax Assessor. The final certificate of occupancy for any
new building shall be withheld by the Building Inspector until the
designated number for the building has been permanently affixed. The
numbers shall be a minimum of three inches in height and affixed to
the building in a manner so as to be clearly visible from the street.
In the event that any owner of any improved
lot, residential, commercial or industrial, within the municipality
has an existing mailbox for the collection and servicing of the owner's
mail, said owner shall, within 30 days of adoption of this chapter,
remove any existing numbers that were provided by the post office
or otherwise and permanently affix to said mailbox or the post therefor,
in a conspicuous manner with letters a minimum of three inches in
height, the number so designated for the building or lot as depicted
on the Official Map. Said provision shall apply whether or not said
improved premises are located on a private road.
Said Official Map shall be brought into conformity
with street names as changed and the naming of certain private roads,
as established by an ordinance to be adopted by the Committee simultaneously
herewith.[1]
This chapter shall be enforced by the Township
Zoning Officer. Any owner who fails to comply with the provisions
of this chapter may be issued a summons and complaint and, upon conviction,
be punished by a fine up to but not exceeding $1,000 for each offense
and be required to perform community service not exceeding 90 days
and/or imprisonment in the County jail or at any place provided by
the municipality for detention of prisoners for a term not exceeding
90 days. A separate offense shall be deemed committed on each day
during which a violation occurs or continues.
If any provision of this chapter or the application
thereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid, the remainder
of the chapter and application of this provision to person or circumstances,
other than that which is held invalid, shall not be affected thereby.
This chapter shall become effective immediately
upon final passage and second reading and adoption and being duly
published according to law.
