[Adopted as Ch. 15.12 of the 1997 Code]
All lots, buildings and structures in the City shall be numbered
in accordance with the following plan:
A.
Main Street shall be the dividing baseline for all east and west
streets; Legion Avenue shall be the dividing baseline for all north
and south streets.
B.
All blocks and streets, except as hereinafter provided, shall be
divided into as many twenty-five-foot spaces as possible.
C.
When numbering east from Main Street, the measurements shall commence
from the east line of Main Street, and when numbering south from Legion
Avenue, from the south line thereof.
D.
The measurements shall extend from the starting points respectively
along the block frontage and across the next street, which place shall
be a new starting point, and the measurements shall, in a similar
manner, be continued along the whole street.
Each block and street as aforesaid, except as hereinafter provided,
shall be divided into as many twenty-five-foot spaces as possible,
and in case there is a fraction left over, exceeding one-half of such
space, then such fraction is to be considered and treated as a part
of the space adjoining it.
The numbering shall be made on the unit system; each block and/or
block unit shall be 100, and multiples of 100, as indicated on a plat
of the City on file in the office of the City Clerk. All of the spaces
mentioned above shall be numbered from the base or dividing lines.
A.
All of the spaces on the east or south side of any street shall be
numbered with even numbers, commencing at the baseline with 102, and
numbering consecutively therefrom to the next starting point; and
B.
All of the spaces on the west or north side of any street shall be
numbered with odd numbers, commencing at the baseline with number
101, and numbering consecutively therefrom to the next starting point;
and
C.
Then, in each case, the second multiple of 100 shall be used, and
so on along the length of the streets.
The City Clerk shall keep a chart showing the proper street
number of every lot in the City, which chart shall be open for inspection
by anyone interested therein.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
It shall be the duty of the owner and occupant of every house in the City to have placed thereon, in a place visible from the street, figures showing the number of that house; any person, firm or corporation failing to so number any house owned or occupied by him or if after receiving notice to do so from the City Clerk shall fail to do so shall be fined as set forth in Chapter 1, § 1-3.1, of the City Code for each day on which the failure to so number continues.
