In order to enable the identification and location
of buildings along the various roads and highways of the Village by
fire, police and other emergency services, and to facilitate the reporting
of emergencies and dispatching of emergency vehicles and personnel
under the county "E-911" system, the Village of Fayetteville Board
of Trustees hereby finds and declares the enumeration of all buildings
to be of major importance for all residents of the Village of Fayetteville,
and this chapter is intended to effectuate the efficient and accurate
enumeration of buildings.
As used in this chapter, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
BUILDING
The principal building or buildings on each zone lot of record.
Such term shall not be deemed to include any accessory structure.
All buildings in the Village of Fayetteville
presently existing and those hereafter constructed shall have displayed,
either upon said building or at the driveway entrance thereto, or
both, a number uniquely identifying said building's location on any
given road or highway as assigned herein.
The Code Enforcement Officer shall designate
separate numbers for buildings which have no designated street number,
and he shall also have the authority to redesignate numbers for buildings
when deemed necessary. The reasonable determination of the Code Enforcement
Officer shall be final and binding.
The Code Enforcement Officer shall notify all
property owners of the numbers assigned to any building already existing
if inconsistent with that presently being displayed or if otherwise
not in compliance with the requirements of this chapter. The Code
Enforcement Officer will assign a number to any new building after
the issuance of a building permit and prior to the issuance of a certificate
of occupancy. Any new certificate of occupancy issued after the effective
date of this chapter shall have written upon its face the building
number and street name upon which it is located.
The display of any house number other than the
number authorized or assigned by the Code Enforcement Officer is expressly
prohibited.
