This chapter shall be known as the "Uniform House Numbering
Ordinance."
In the interests of promoting the general welfare of North East
Township, it is necessary to have a complete and systematic house
numbering system in North East Township.
Prior to the occupancy of a building structure or any part thereof
by any person or persons, an application shall be made to the Supervisors
of North East Township, or to a person so designated by the Township
Supervisors, for the purpose of assigning an appropriate number to
the building or structure in accordance with the North East Township
house numbering system, copies of which will be kept on file with
the North East Township Secretary and a copy thereof shall be sent
to the Erie County Metropolitan Planning Commission.
Existing buildings or structures when this chapter becomes effective
shall be assigned new numbers in accordance with the North East Township
house numbering system, except that, where possible, the existing
numbering will be retained, providing it is not in conflict with the
house numbering system established under this chapter. The occupants
of each existing building or structure shall have one calendar month
from the effective date of this chapter to apply to the Supervisors
of North East Township or their designee to secure a number which
shall be permanently posted at an appropriate place on the building
or structure for convenience or identification.
An application for securing a number for a new or existing building
or structure shall be made in writing by the owner or his agent upon
forms supplied by North East Township and shall contain the names
of the owner or owners and a sufficient description to adequately
identify the building structure for which the number is intended.
The Board of Supervisors of North East Township may, by resolution
and at its discretion, appoint or designate a person or agency that
shall be vested with the powers, duties, and obligations herein set
forth. In addition to these duties, the designee shall keep an accurate
record of all house numbers assigned in North East Township for the
benefit of Township residents and other interested parties.
The Board of Supervisors of North East Township may, by resolution,
adopt additional regulations confirming any of the matters set forth
in this chapter in order to carry out the intent and purpose of this
chapter.
