5, Sec. 5-6, of the 1981 Code). Amendments noted where applicable.]
All lots, houses, buildings and structures in
the Town shall be numbered in accordance with the following plan:
A.
Main Street shall be divided into East Main Street
and West Main Street at the intersection of State Route 208 and Main
Street, and the numbers shall be assigned to each division beginning
at said intersection. Even numbers shall be on the south side of Main
Street, and odd numbers shall be on the north side of Main Street.
B.
All other streets shall have even numbers on one side
and odd numbers on the opposite side in a uniform manner as designated
by the Town Manager.
C.
There shall be assigned sufficient numbers for lots
on each street so as to allow for the designation of numbers to new
buildings constructed in the future.
The Town Manager shall keep a chart showing
the proper street number of every lot in the Town, which shall be
open to inspection by anyone interested.
It shall be the duty of the owners and occupants
of every house, building and structure in the Town to have placed
thereon, in a place visible from the street, figures at least three
inches high, showing the number of the house, building or structure.
Any person, firm or corporation failing to so number any house, building
or other structure occupied by him or if, after receiving notice to
do so from the Town Manager, shall continue in his failure to so number
such house, building or structure shall be charged $1 for each day
during or on which a failure to so number continues.
The charge for failure to so number any house,
building or other structure shall be paid by the owner of such property
and may be collected by the Town as taxes and levies are collected.
Every charge authorized by this chapter with
which the owner of any such property shall have been assessed and
which remains unpaid shall constitute a lien against such property.
