This chapter shall hereafter be known and cited as the "Huron Township Building Numbering Ordinance."
The purpose of this chapter is to protect the public health, safety and general welfare of the persons and property within the Township of Huron by requiring proper identification numbers to be located upon buildings and premises within the Township so that the same can be readily identifiable for proper and efficient fire and police protection; for mail delivery services and for the convenience of all members of the public having any need to determine or describe the location of such building or premises.
[Amended 6-12-1996 by Ord. No. 96-7]
A. 
The owner or owners of all premises within the Township of Huron improved with buildings or occupied for public business purposes shall securely affix thereon, or place on the street mailbox on the premises, an identification number as determined and assigned by the Township Building Department. The numbers comprising the identification number for the premises shall be:
(1) 
If placed on mailboxes, displayed in such a manner as to be plainly visible from road traffic lanes in either direction of approach, reflectorized or of a contrasting color to their background, and not less than three inches in height;
(2) 
If displayed on building fronts, reflectorized or of a contrasting color to their background, and not less than three inches in height.
B. 
Where a multiple number of buildings are assigned one identification number, each building shall be assigned a further number or letter by the Township Building Department in the event the owner or owners of the same have not located an appropriate identification number or letter upon the premises occupied by each such building. Such identification of a multiple number of buildings shall not, however, apply to outbuildings which are subordinate and incidental to the principal building upon the premises and which do not exceed three in number.
Any person, firm or corporation, its, his, her or their agents, or employees who shall violate or assist in the violation of the provisions of this chapter, shall be punishable by a fine not to exceed $500 or by imprisonment in the county jail for a term not to exceed 90 days, or both such fine and imprisonment, in the discretion of the court. Each day that a violation of this chapter shall exist shall constitute a separate and distinct offense and shall be so punishable.
