[Code 1974, § 103-3]
Whenever the Township Planning Commission shall deem it necessary,
in order to maintain a consistent and logical pattern of street numbering
within the Township, to assign or reassign a street number or numbers,
such commission shall adopt a resolution indicating its intent to
make such assignment or change. Notice of the intended action shall
be mailed to the occupant or owner of the land or building advising
of the intended action and a public hearing to be held thereon. The
notice shall be mailed at least 10 days in advance of the scheduled
hearing. The Planning Commission may take final action by resolution
at any time after the public hearing and the resolution shall be immediately
effective. The Planning Commission minutes reflecting the final resolution
shall serve as proof of the action taken.
[Code 1974, § 103-4]
The owner or occupant of all structures assigned a street number
shall display such number in a prominent place on the structure, facing
the road upon which the number is assigned at least four feet from
the ground. If the structure is not easily visible from the street,
an additional street number shall be provided on a permanent sign
or plate located on the lot near the street at least four feet from
the ground for good visibility. All such numbers shall be at least
four inches in height, constructed of durable material, and shall
be of a color which contrasts with the background upon which they
are located. All numbers shall be displayed using Arabic numerals
(e.g., 1234). The use of words or Roman numerals to express a number
shall not satisfy the requirements of this section. Street numbers
placed on mail boxes or written on curbs shall not satisfy the requirements
of this section.
