[Amended 11-8-1976]
Every building in the Borough of Kingston fronting upon any street,
avenue, lane or alley shall be marked by the owner thereof with the official
number that shall be assigned by the borough to such building, such number
to be determined as follows:
A. All streets, and all lanes and alleys running parallel
thereto, shall be numbered northwardly and southwardly from Wyoming Avenue,
except for Market Street, which shall be treated as a continuation of Market
Street in the City of Wilkes-Barre.
B. All avenues and lanes and alleys running parallel thereto
shall be numbered eastwardly from the western end of such avenues, lanes and
alleys.
C. Numbers shall be assigned at the rate of one (1) number
for every twenty (20) feet of frontage, with the even numbers on the north
and east sides thereof, odd numbers on the south and west sides thereof.
D. Specific numbers shall be assigned by the Municipal Administrator,
within the above-stated framework, and in case of streets, avenues, lanes
and alleys not running generally parallel or perpendicular to Wyoming Avenue,
or in any other way not conforming to the prevalent pattern of street arrangements
in the borough, numbers shall be assigned by the Administrator at approximate
twenty-foot intervals as closely as possible to the numbers used upon neighboring
streets and avenues running in an approximately parallel direction or, if
the latter is not practicable, in the manner that the Administrator considers
will provide a most logical means of locating the property.
Numbers, as assigned to each building in the borough according to the
provisions of this chapter, shall be affixed to or painted upon or carved
upon such building, or upon a permanent standard, base or support between
such building and the street, avenue, lane or alley upon which such building
fronts. Each digit of such number shall be at least three (3) inches high
and shall be of such material and color as to be visible from the said street,
avenue, lane or alley and shall constantly be maintained by the owner of the
building in complete and legible form. The owner of every building in the
borough shall reaffix or renew all numbers that shall not continue to conform
to the requirements of this section.
