This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the "Numbering
Ordinance of the Town of Lima, Livingston County, New York."
The purpose of this chapter shall be to require and regulate
the numbering or numerical identification of all principal structures
located or hereafter erected within the Town of Lima, Livingston County,
New York.
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
STRUCTURE and PRINCIPAL STRUCTURE — The same as set forth in Chapter
250, Zoning, or as such definition is hereafter modified by duly enacted ordinance or local law.
TOWN
The Town of Lima, Livingston County, New York.
All principal structures located within any Town zoning district
shall have and display at least one set of street numbers assigned
to it and approved by the Town Code Enforcement Officer. Numbers must
be prominently displayed on the side of said structure fronting the
nearest dedicated or private right-of-way. In no case shall script
design be permitted or said numbers be of written cursive.
In the case where the principal structure is not clearly visible
from the dedicated or private right-of-way, a post with the property
address displayed upon it, not to exceed five feet in height, shall
be installed in close proximity to the property access, no less than
20 feet nor greater than 25 feet from the property line fronting the
dedicated or private right-of-way.
All numbers shall be Arabic in design only, shall measure a
minimum of five inches in height and shall sharply contrast in color
from the structure or background of the post.
In the case of new construction, no temporary or final certificate
of occupancy will be issued until the Town Code Enforcement Officer
verifies that such street numbers have been properly assigned and
installed. Furthermore, no inspection for new construction will be
provided until installation of the proper address number or lot number
in a prominent location on the site, prior to construction.
Any work for which a building permit is or shall be required
cannot commence before compliance with this chapter.
Any existing structure having street numbers that are Arabic
in design, logical in sequence and a minimum of four inches in height
as of the effective date of this section shall be deemed to be in
substantial compliance with this chapter.
The Town Code Enforcement Officer is responsible for assuring
compliance with the requirements of this chapter and is hereby expressly
authorized to issue appearance tickets and/or to appear before a Town
Justice of the Town to seek enforcement therewith.
Violation of this chapter shall authorize a civil penalty not
to exceed $50 for each instance of violation.
