Editor's Note: This bylaw amendment also superseded former
Ch. 63, Numbering of Buildings, adopted 3-17-1982 by Bylaw Amendment
82-29.
All persons shall affix to buildings owned by them and located
on or near the line of public or private ways the street numbers designated
for such buildings by the Town Administrator, and no person shall
affix or allow to remain on any building owned by him a street number
other than the one designated by the Town Administrator.
All numbers shall be affixed so that they will be plainly visible
from the roadway, and any building which is not plainly visible from
a roadway shall have at the entrance of its driveway, visible from
said roadway, the designated street number.
The assignment of designated numbers shall be made consecutively
in ascending order, beginning at the principal street from which the
street to be numbered runs. The odd numbers shall be on the right-hand
side of said street in the direction of the ascending numbers. The
Town Administrator may waive the requirements of this section for
any roadway which is already numbered where renumbering in accordance
with this section would cause substantial hardship.
Any person violating the provisions of this chapter shall be
liable for a fine of $50 for each offense; each day a violation continues
shall constitute a separate offense.
The Franklin Police Chief, Fire Chief, and Director of Public
Works and their respective designees and the Building Commissioner
shall each have authority to enforce the provisions of this chapter.
The Stretch Energy Code, as codified by the Board of Building
Regulations and Standards as an appendix to the State Building Code
as 780 CMR Appendix 115AA, including any amendments or modifications
thereto, has been accepted by the Franklin Town Council by its vote
on Bylaw Amendment 17-796 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Stretch Energy Code is enforceable by the Building Commissioner
or his designee.
