[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Ellenville 11-24-2003
by L.L. No. 5-2003. Amendments noted where applicable.]
The Village Board of the Village of Ellenville hereby finds and determines
that it is the duty of the Village of Ellenville to provide for the safety
and welfare of all of its residents. The Village Board further finds that
the county-wide enhanced emergency response system (E-911) affects said safety
and welfare of the residents of the Village of Ellenville, and an integral
component of the success of E-911 is the prominent and easily read display
of the individual property and street address numbers.
A.
Building numbers. The appropriate E-911 property address
number comprising the number to be displayed on a building shall be at least
four inches in height and shall be placed on the front of said building, or
upon a mailbox, gate post, fence, or other appropriate place so that the number(s)
shall be clearly visible from the street line where the driveway or entranceway
to the front of the building is located. The color of said number(s) shall
be in sharp contrast to the color of their background. Wherever practicable,
said number shall be placed near some light or source of illumination so that
it may be readily seen at night.
B.
Visibility from the street. Where a building upon which
the number is to be displayed is more than 100 feet from the edge of the street
serving the building, the number shall, in addition to the other requirements
of this chapter, be placed upon a post, mailbox or other structure readily
visible from the street and in no event further back than 25 feet from said
street.
A.
This chapter shall be promulgated in the manner prescribed
by the laws of the State of New York and the Code of the Village of Ellenville.
B.
The Building Inspector of the Village of Ellenville and
any police officers within their jurisdiction within the Village of Ellenville
shall be charged with the enforcement of this chapter; said police officers
are authorized to issue appearance tickets for violation of this chapter.
A.
It shall be a violation for any property owner within
the Village of Ellenville subject to regulation under this chapter to fail
to adhere to the placement and size of said numbers as enumerated herein.
B.
Any person subject to this chapter who violates any provision
of said chapter shall be issued a warning upon notice of the first instance
of violation for any specific property, but will be given 30 days in which
to correct said violation that has resulted in said warning, and upon a second
violation for any specific property shall be subject to a civil penalty not
to exceed $250.
Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to create a cause of action
by one person against another person for violation of any provision of this
chapter.
