[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Supervisors of the Township of Lower Windsor 4-10-2008 by Ord. No. 2008-01. Amendments noted where applicable.]
Every person having ownership, possession, custody, control or charge of any building or structure assigned a street address identification number in Lower Windsor Township shall be required to post and maintain the number so assigned in accordance with the standards listed below:
A. 
All primary structures shall clearly display a road address number. The owner and occupant of each building is responsible to post that number so that the location can be easily identified from the road. House numbers shall all be Arabic numerals or alphabet letters, a minimum of four inches high, with a minimum stroke width of 0.5 inch, and of contrasting color; reflective numbers are desirable but not required.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I)]
B. 
The official address number must be displayed on the front of the building or at the entrance to a building which is most clearly visible from the street or road during both day and night.
C. 
Where a building or house is not visible for 100 feet or more from the street or road on which it fronts or the lot on which the building is located is landscaped such that numbers cannot be seen from the street or road the assigned number shall be posted at the end of the driveway or easement nearest the road which provides access to the building. The numbers may be placed on a fence, post or mailbox within 10 feet of a driveway or by other approved means of support at least 24 inches off of the ground so as to be easily seen from the road.
D. 
In the event that a building is one of several located along a joint driveway or access drive or private street, each address must be posted at the entrance from the street and additionally at each individual drive or front yard area.
E. 
Any building situated on a corner lot shall locate the number only on the street representing the correct mailing address assigned to the building, regardless of where the driveway is located.
F. 
Numbers may be placed on a mailbox or mailbox post only if the mailbox is located directly in front of the building assigned that street address number and on the same side of the street and the number is affixed to both sides of the mailbox or post at a height of at least 24 inches off of the ground. If mailboxes are grouped they shall not be used for displaying house numbers as defined in these guidelines as grouped mailboxes block the view of house numbers and/or do not provide identification of the location of the residences.
A. 
Manufactured home parks shall erect a sign at the main entrance to the park at the point of access off the adjoining public road that displays the name of the park and the assigned street address. The sign shall not block clear sight distance and shall be no larger than 15 square feet (3 feet x 5 feet).
B. 
A site map large enough to be read easily shall be displayed at the main entrance to the park identifying street names and site locations/addresses located within said park.
C. 
Individual mobile home site numbers shall be displayed consistent with § 158-1 of this chapter and placed in a uniform manner throughout the park.
D. 
Stop signs shall be installed at intersections to all public roads and within appropriate locations within the park. Stop sign dimensions, installation and location shall conform to the latest PennDOT standards. It is the responsibility of the park owner to purchase, erect and maintain the stop signs.
A. 
Any new or existing private road shall be required to have posted and maintained a road identification sign in compliance with this chapter.
B. 
It is the responsibility of the developer and/or landowner(s) located on that private road to purchase, erect and maintain one private road name sign located at the entrance to the intersecting public road. Directional signs shall be placed in the appropriate locations when necessary and signage shall identify each individually recognized property located on that private road following the guidelines set forth in § 158-1 of this chapter.
C. 
Private road signs shall be blue in color so as to be recognized as a private road, and will conform to the current PennDOT dimensions, location and installation standards.
The owner, occupant or other person or agent in charge of any building or structure, mobile home park and/or private road applicable to this chapter shall cause the existing or subsequently designated street address number to be placed in accordance with the provisions of this chapter within 30 days after receipt of written notice from Lower Windsor Township containing appropriate instructions regarding such placement.
If any building or structure does not have an established street address number, such number shall be established by Lower Windsor Township. All unassigned buildings or structures on the west or south side of any street within Lower Windsor Township shall be assigned an even number. All unassigned buildings or structures on the east or north side of any street within Lower Windsor Township shall be assigned an odd number.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I)]
Any person who violates or permits a violation of this chapter shall, upon conviction in a summary proceeding brought before a Magisterial District Judge under the Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal Procedure, be guilty of a summary offense and shall be punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000, plus costs of prosecution. In default of payment thereof, the defendant may be sentenced to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 90 days. Each day or portion thereof that such violation continues or is permitted to continue shall constitute a separate offense, and each section of this chapter that is violated shall also constitute a separate offense.
