[HISTORY: Adopted by the Borough Council
of the Borough of Bell Acres 6-11-1990 by Ord. No. 144. Amendments noted where
applicable.]
Each property owner within the Borough shall
cause to be erected, visible in either direction from the roadway
serving said property, a sign of letters or numbers or a combination
of letters and numbers at least three inches in height on a contrasting
background indicating the mailing address of said property and identifying
said property.
Said sign shall be clearly visible in adverse
weather conditions and at night by light produced by low beam headlights.
This chapter shall become effective 30 days
after an assignment of a street number to such property by the Borough.
Any properties not numbered at this time shall
be numbered upon development with the approval of the Planning Commission.
The Borough Council or any officer or employee
designated thereby for the purpose is hereby authorized to give written
notice, by personal service or by United States Mail, to the owner
of any premises whereupon the street number at the premises is not
posted, in violation of the provisions of this chapter, directing
and requiring such owner to post a street number so as to conform
to the requirements of this chapter, within 15 days after issuance
of such notice. In case any owner shall neglect, fail or refuse to
comply with such notice within the period of time stated herein, the
Borough authorities may post a street number on the premises and collect
the cost thereof, together with any additional penalty authorized
by law, from such owner in the manner provided by law.
