The purpose of this chapter shall be to promote public safety and convenience
by providing a rational street numbering system whereby addresses may be identified
with the ease and speed which is essential to the quick response of emergency
services, including police, fire fighting and emergency medical care.
Under the supervision of the Public Works Director or his designee,
the Town, without notice, may assign to each building, or part of a building
other than an accessory building, a street identification number by which
such building shall be known, and may change such number of such buildings
or part of such building. Whenever a new street or highway is laid out, the
Town shall assign to the land abutting such street or highway numbers at such
measured intervals or distances as the public interest shall require.
The owners of buildings existing on the effective date of this chapter
shall affix numerals indicating the street identification number which has
been assigned to such building. Any owner who refuses or neglects to comply
with this section shall be notified by the Town, in writing, of the provisions
of this chapter and shall comply with such provisions within 30 days of the
mailing of such notice.
The owners of buildings completed after the effective date of this chapter
shall affix numerals indicating the street identification numbers assigned
to such building prior to the occupancy of such buildings.
Whoever violates any provisions of the foregoing sections, or refuses
or neglects to comply with the same, shall be deemed guilty of an infraction
and shall be fined $10 for each offense, and each and every ten-day period
of refusal or neglect to comply with the provisions of said section shall
be deemed a separate offense. The penalty shall not, however, exceed the sum
of $100 for any one building.
