The Supervisors of Union Township, pursuant to the Second Class
Township Code, are hereby authorized and empowered to name, and/or provide
the names of, any and all present and future streets, roadways, alleys,
thoroughfares or the like within Union Township, regardless of whether
they belong to the Township, developers or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Each structure to which a street number has been assigned by
or through Union Township shall have such number displayed in such
size, fashion and location that make the number clearly and readily
visible and legible from the public right-of-way. All numbers shall
be in Arabic numerals or alphabet letters, at least four inches high,
with a minimum stroke width of 0.5 inch, and in a color which contrasts
to the building background. Such numbers shall be securely affixed
to the structure and shall also be displayed on the mailbox as to
make the residence readily, easily and clearly identifiable from the
road passing in front of the said residence. In any event, the numbers
shall be so placed as to facilitate the purpose of this chapter.
It shall be the responsibility of the owner and occupant or
occupants of said structure to comply with the provisions hereof.
The owner and occupant or occupants of said structure shall
continuously maintain said street number designation in a legible
condition.
Any person who violates or permits a violation of this chapter
shall, upon conviction in a summary proceeding brought before a Magisterial
District Judge under the Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal Procedure,
be guilty of a summary offense and shall be punishable by a fine of
not more than $1,000, plus costs of prosecution. In default of payment
thereof, the defendant may be sentenced to imprisonment for a term
not exceeding 90 days. Each day or portion thereof that such violation
continues or is permitted to continue shall constitute a separate
offense, and each section of this chapter that is violated shall also
constitute a separate offense.
