[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town of Winchester effective 9-24-1979 (§ 120 of the prior compilation).
Amendments noted where applicable.]
Whenever the Planning and Zoning Commission orders the owners
of any building on any street to number or renumber such buildings,
notice of such order shall be published twice in a newspaper having
a circulation in the Town, and a copy of such order shall likewise
be mailed to all nonresident owners of such buildings. The owners
of such buildings shall number or renumber such buildings in accordance
with the order of the Planning and Zoning Commission within 30 days
after publication and/or mailing of such order.
Numbers provided for by § 199-1 herein shall be legible and placed in a position that is visible from the street or road fronting the property. Address identification characters shall contrast with their background. Address numbers shall be Arabic numbers or alphabetical letters. Numbers shall not be spelled out. Each character shall be not less than four inches (102 mm) in height with a stroke width of not less than 0.5 inch (12.7 mm). Where required by the fire code official, address identification shall be provided in additional approved locations to facilitate emergency response. Where access is by means of a private road and the building address cannot be viewed from the public way, a monument, pole or other sign or means shall be used to identify the structure. Address identification shall be maintained.
It shall be unlawful for the owner of any building to place
or maintain any number on such building which does not correspond
to the number assigned such building by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
It shall be unlawful for any person to remove, destroy, deface
or in any way to injure any properly established building number.
Any person who shall violate any provision of this chapter shall
be subject to a fine of not more than $50 for the first offense and
