All building structures for residential, commercial,
industrial or other uses in the Town of Winneconne, Winnebago County
shall be assigned an E-911 number.
The E-911 numbers shall be requested by the
property owner from the Winnebago County GIS Department. Winnebago
County will notify the Town of Winneconne of the newly assigned E-911
number.
Whenever any house building or structure shall
be erected in the Town of Winneconne, in order to preserve the continuity
of numbers of all houses, buildings or structures, the owner shall
procure the correct number as designated from the Town for the property
and immediately install the number so assigned as provided in this
chapter. No building permit shall be issued for any house, building
or structure until the owner has procured the official E-911 number
sign for the premises.
After the initial installation of the E-911
signs in the summer of 2008, the cost of the sign, hardware and post
shall be borne by the property owner and shall be included in the
charge for a building permit. Replacement signs, hardware and posts
shall be charged to the property owners and such fees will be paid
to the Town Clerk.
Each property is required to display the Town
of Winneconne adopted, standardized E-911 number sign. The Town of
Winneconne will obtain and install the initial set of E-911 signs
throughout the Town. New or replacement signs installed after the
initial install has been completed shall be installed as follows:
six-and-one-half-foot posts are to be installed approximately 24 inches
in the ground, approximately 15 feet from the edge of the left side
of the driveway facing the building from the road, and on the back
edge of the right-of-way. The alternate location would be the right
side of the driveway with the same measurements. Alternate locations
may be necessary due to foliage, lot line boundaries or other obstructions
that would compromise the effectiveness of the sign if installed in
the primary location.
Property owners are responsible to maintain their E-911 number sign in a fashion that meets the requirements of this chapter and subsequent amendments. Failure to maintain their E-911number sign and post or failure to install E-911 number signs after notification from the Town will cause property owners to be subject to the penalties as provided in Chapter
1, §
1-4 of this Code.
Any person found in violation of this chapter shall be subject to penalties as provided in Chapter
1, §
1-4 of this Code.
