Whenever houses or buildings are situated more than fifty feet (50) from the street line, the number of each such building shall be conspicuously displayed at the street line, near the walls, drive-way or common entrance to such building and upon the gate post, fence, tree, post or other appropriate place so as to be easily discernible from the sidewalk or street.

Any contractor or builder in charge of the greater part of the work of erecting any new house or building in the City of Weston shall be required to procure a building permit, at which time a house number will be assigned. Said number will be required to be placed on the house or building while construction is in progress. A certificate of occupancy will not be issued to any new house or building until a proper house number is in place as instructed in Subsection (B).

Any new subdivision plats that are accepted as a final plat by the City of Weston will have address numbers assigned by the City Clerk. Any new addresses assigned will be shared with the Weston Post Office, the Platte County Assessor's Office, and the Mid-America Regional Council 911 office.

Where only one (1) number can be assigned to any house or building, as in the case of an apartment building or multi-family dwelling, the owner, occupant or agent of such house or building who shall desire distinctive numbers for the upper and lower portion of any such house or building, or for any part of such house or building, shall use the suffix "A," "B," "C," etc., as may be required.

The responsibility for the displaying of the assigned number for each existing house, apartment, multi-family dwelling, and building in the City, as of the effective date of this Section, shall rest with the property owner, trustee, lessee, agent or occupant of each house or building; and shall be given thirty (30) days to become compliant with this Section.
