[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Supervisors of Fairview
Township 1-21-1998 by Ord. No. 98-22. Amendments noted where applicable.]
This chapter is enacted under the authority of 53 P.S. § 66520.
Prior to any person occupying a building or structure, or any
part thereof, an application shall be made to the Supervisors of Fairview
Township or to a person designated by said Supervisors for this purpose
of assigning an appropriate number(s) to building(s) or structure(s)
in accordance with the Township house numbering system, three copies
of which will be kept on file with the Fairview Township Secretary.
Existing building or structures are, henceforth and when this
chapter becomes effective, assigned new numbers in accordance with
the Fairview Township house-numbering system, except that where possible
existing numbers will be retained when not in conflict with the new
house-numbering system. The occupants of each building or structure
shall have one calendar month in which to contact the Supervisors
of Fairview Township or their designated person to secure a number
which will be prominently posted at the appropriate place on the building
or structure for convenience of identification.
An application for securing a number for a new building or structure
shall be made in writing by the owner or his agent upon forms supplied
by Fairview Township and shall contain the names of the owner(s) and
a description sufficient to identify the building structure for which
the number is intended.
The Supervisors of Fairview Township may, by resolution and
at their discretion, appoint or designate a person or agency that
shall be vested with the powers, duties, and obligations herein set
forth. In addition to these duties, the designee shall keep an accurate
record of all house numbers assigned in Fairview Township for the
benefit of the Township residents and other interested parties.
