The Town of New Castle will be implementing
an emergency telephone system whereby an individual will be able to
dial a 911 telephone number in the event of an emergency. A town-wide
uniform numbering system of all buildings will enable emergency personnel
to respond efficiently and quickly to an emergency. It is, therefore,
in the best interest of the public health, safety and welfare of the
town to enact this chapter.
As used in this chapter, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
BUILDING
The principal building or buildings on each lot and shall
not include any accessory building.
The Town Assessor shall be authorized to decide
which building or buildings on any particular lot shall be numbered.
It shall be the duty of every owner of a building
in the Town of New Castle to cause to be displayed thereon the street
number of said building on a post, mailbox or other structure at or
within 25 feet of the curbline where the driveway or entranceway to
the building is located. At all times, the owner of a building shall
maintain such number in compliance with the provisions of this chapter.
The display of any house number other than the
number authorized or assigned by the Town Assessor is expressly prohibited.
Any person, corporation, partnership or other
entity violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall, upon
conviction, be punishable by a fine not to exceed $250. Each calendar
week or portion thereof that said violation continues shall be deemed
a separate violation.
