It shall be the duty of the owner, agent, lessor or occupant
of every house or other building, except barns, garages and other
buildings which are part of the same property with a numbered house
or building, to place on every such building its property street number
either by painting or by affixing such numbers in metal, glass or
other form so that the same shall be clearly visible from the street.
Numbers shall be placed on such houses and buildings within thirty
(30) days from the time said owners, agents, lessors or occupants
are notified either by mail, publication or telephone of the assignment
of numbers to said houses as hereinafter provided.
[Ord. No. 86 §2, 4-11-1988]
The public square shall be divided into the following sections:
Northeast public square;
Southeast public square;
Southwest public square; and
Northwest public square
Within each section of the public square, all houses and buildings
shall be given numbers between 1 and 99. For purposes of said numbering,
the numbering shall commence at North Street and commence around the
square in a clockwise direction.
Numbers shall be assigned to houses and buildings from the intersection
of North, South, East and West Streets as bases, and in the following
manner:
All houses and buildings situated within the first (1st) block
north of East and West Streets on all intersecting streets shall be
given numbers between 1 and 99 inclusive; within the second (2nd)
block numbers between 100 and 199 inclusive shall be used, and so
on in each succeeding block; and all numbers shall be indicated by
adding the word "North" to the name of the street, where applicable.
In like manner, the numbers between 1 and 99 inclusive shall
be used in the first (1st) block south of East and West Streets on
intersecting streets, and each succeeding hundred in each succeeding
block; and the word "South" shall be added to the street name, where
applicable.
On streets intersecting North or South Streets, numbers between
1 and 99 inclusive shall be used within the first (1st) block from
North and South Streets on either side, and each succeeding hundred
in each succeeding block, with the addition of the word "East" or
"West" to the street name as the case may be.
Odd numbers shall be used on the west and north sides of the
streets and even numbers on the east and south sides, respectively.
Within any block, the houses or buildings nearer the base street
shall use the smaller numbers. In assigning numbers to houses and
buildings between which one (1) or more twenty-five (25) foot lots
lie unimproved, sufficient numbers shall be allowed for later assignment
to such vacant lots.
