The intent of this chapter is to:
A. Establish a uniform system of property/dwelling/building address
numbering within the Township of Rochester in order that there be
an accurate address database in connection with the Township of Rochester's
participation in the Beaver County Enhanced 9-1-1 System; and
B. Establish a uniform system of posting and display of address identification
numbering in order that property/dwelling/building addresses within
the Township of Rochester may be easily located in emergency situations.
Within 90 days after notification by the Township of Rochester,
the owners and/or occupants of each property/dwelling/building shall
post the address identification numbers assigned by the Township.
Following the enactment of this chapter, the requirement of application
for a street address number shall be a condition precedent to the
issuance of a certificate of occupancy by the Rochester Township Zoning
Officer.
The identification numbers to be posted as provided in §
55-2 shall be of the type available for purchase at cost through the Township or shall meet the following specifications: Address signs shall be made of five-inch-by-fourteen-inch aluminum plate with a blue reflective mylar background with four-inch white letters or numbers.
Any owner, owners or occupants who shall violate or fail, neglect
or refuse to comply with any of the provisions of this chapter shall,
upon summary conviction thereof, be sentenced to pay a fine of not
more than $600, plus the costs of prosecution, and in default of payment
of such fine and costs be subject to a term of imprisonment in the
Beaver County Jail for a term not to exceed 90 days, provided that
each day's violation shall constitute a separate offense and
notice to the offender shall not be necessary in order to constitute
an offense.
