[Ord. 49, 7/10/1986, § 1]
The word "building," as used in this Part, shall mean any structure
used or intended to be used as a dwelling or place of business or
industry, or any other use requiring a location identity, but shall
not include any accessory building located upon a lot where there
is also a main building.
[Ord. 49, 7/10/1986, § 2]
The map known as "West Cocalico Township Street Number Plan"
bearing the same date as this Part is hereby incorporated into this
Part. The said map shall be maintained current by the addition of
new buildings as constructed, by the Township Secretary.
[Ord. 49, 7/10/1986, § 3]
It shall be the duty of the Township to notify existing owners
of properties of the new number which has been assigned to said properties
which will require a number, and it shall be the duty of such owner
so notified within 60 days thereafter to comply with the further provisions
of this Part.
[Ord. 49, 7/10/1986, § 4; as amended by Ord. 125B, 9/16/2014]
Numbers, as assigned to each building in the Township according
to the provisions of this Part, shall be affixed to or painted upon
such building or upon a permanent standard, base or support between
such building and street, and upon the mailbox serving such building.
Except for numbers appearing on mailboxes which shall be at least
one-inch high, each number shall be at least four inches high with
a stroke width of 1/2 inch, shall be of such color and material as
to be visible from the street, and shall be constantly maintained
in complete and legible form. The property owner shall reaffix or
renew all numbers that shall not continue to conform to the requirements
of this section. In the case of buildings occupied by other than by
the owner thereof, the occupant, rather than the owner, shall be responsible
for maintaining numbers upon such buildings as hereby required.
[Ord. 49, 7/10/1986, § 5]
Whenever a building shall hereafter be erected in the Township,
the owner thereof shall forthwith apply to the Township Secretary
for the official number thereof. The number shall be assigned by the
Township Secretary in conformity with the requirement set forth in
this Part for numbers for existing buildings and shall, within 30
days after being assigned to such building, be affixed by the owner
thereof in the manner required by this Part in the case of existing
buildings and shall thereafter be maintained as hereby required for
the numbers of existing buildings.
[Ord. 49, 7/10/1986, § 6; as amended by Ord. 125B, 9/16/2014]
Any person, firm or corporation who shall violate any provision
of this Part, upon conviction thereof in an action brought before
a magisterial district judge in the manner provided for the enforcement
of summary offenses under the Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal Procedure,
shall be sentenced to pay a fine of not more than $1,000 plus costs
and, in default of payment of said fine and costs, to a term of imprisonment
not to exceed 90 days. Each day that a violation of this Part continues
or each Section of this Part which shall be found to have been violated
shall constitute a separate offense.
