It is the purpose and intent of this chapter to protect, promote and
preserve the health, safety and general welfare of persons residing in the
Village of Springville by requiring the placement of identifying street address
numbers on buildings in the village to enable emergency services personnel
to respond quickly to the correct location when called upon.
The owner of any parcel of land in the Village of Springville upon which
a building exists shall place the street address number assigned to that lot
on the front face of the building located closest to the street. The number
shall be affixed to the building in a prominent location facing and clearly
legible from the principal street. If the building is not visible or the number
not otherwise legible from the street, the number shall be permanently affixed
to a mail box, post, wall, sign or other permitted structure adjacent to the
entrance to the principal driveway serving the building. The number shall
be composed of Arabic numerals at least four inches high and in a color contrasting
with the color of the surface upon which they appear. The owner of a new building
shall comply with this chapter immediately upon completion of the siding or
the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, whichever shall first occur.
With regard to a lot in a business or industrial district, the location
requirements of this chapter shall be deemed met if the street address number
is placed on an otherwise lawful business sign clearly legible from the street
and located between the street and the building on that lot closest to the
street.
At the request of an owner of a building in a Village Industry District
(VI) or in a Commercial Industrial Park District (CIP), the Board of Trustees
may grant a waiver of the application of the provisions of this chapter in
those cases where the name of the business conducted in the building that
would otherwise need to be numbered is so widely known in the community that
the requirements of this chapter would be superfluous. If granted, such a
waiver shall not be permanent and may be withdrawn by the Board of Trustees
if it should determine that, due to a change in circumstances, the waiver
is no longer warranted.
It shall be the duty of the Code Enforcement Officer of the Village
of Springville to enforce compliance with the provisions of this chapter.
If any part or provision of this chapter or the application thereof
to any person or circumstance be adjudged invalid by any court of competent
jurisdiction, such judgment shall be confined in its operation to the part
or provision or application directly involved in the controversy in which
such judgment shall have been rendered aTnd shall not affect
or impair the validity of the remainder of this chapter or the application
thereof to other persons or circumstances, and the Board of Trustees of the
Village of Springville hereby declares that it would have enacted this chapter
or the remainder thereof had such invalid application or invalid provision
been apparent.
Any person owning a building within the Village of Springville, refusing
or neglecting for 10 days after written notice from the Code Enforcement Officer
to comply with the requirements of this chapter, shall be liable to a fine
or penalty of not more than $100. Each week's continued violation shall
constitute a separate violation. The required written notice may be given
by personal service upon the owner or upon one of them if there be more than
one owner or by mailing a copy thereof by certified mail to the owner at the
building that is not properly numbered and, if different, to the address of
said owner as shown on the most recent tax roll.
