Posts,
stanchions or other support for mailboxes may be located in the right-of-way
in accordance with United States Post Office regulations, provided
that the post, stanchion or support does not exceed four feet in height
above ground level and 12 inches (or a diameter of 12 inches) in width.
Mailboxes which exceed this requirement are not a permitted structure
and remain in the right-of-way solely at the expense and liability
of the owner of the mailbox and post. Such location of a post/mailbox
should not create a hazard or an obstruction to passage of roadways,
sidewalks, or street maintenance vehicles or snowplowing equipment.
Reimbursement
for damages caused by official Township activities. Should the Township,
through its required maintenance activities, destroy a post and/or
mailbox properly placed in the right-of-way, the Township may reimburse
the property owner the sum of $50 for parts and labor or replace and
install the post and/or mailbox with a post and/or mailbox selected
by the Township. The property owner shall notify the Township in writing
as to whether the property owner seeks payment or replacement as provided
herein. Requests for repairs or reimbursements must by received by
the Township no later than May 1 of each year.
