This chapter applies to all principal buildings within the Township
of Caln and each tract, lot or parcel of land.
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the meanings
indicated:
ACCESSORY BUILDING
A subordinate building, the use of which is customarily incidental
to that of the principal building and is used for an accessory use and is
located on the same lot.
PRINCIPAL BUILDINGS
Any building or structure erected on a tract, lot or parcel of land
on which any use is carried out, except an accessory building.
The owner or occupant of each tract, lot or parcel of land to which
no street address number has previously been assigned shall, upon purchase,
acquisition or occupancy thereof or within seven days of discovery that no
such number has been assigned, make application to the Township Manager or
his designated agent for assignment of such number, and thereon the Township
Manager shall assign a correct street address number to the property.
[Amended 4-14-1992 by Ord.
No. 1992-8]
In order to comply with this chapter, street address numbers shall be
Arabic in design, shall have a minimum height of three inches and shall be
mounted in a secure fashion to the principal building's front wall or to a
porch or other fixed appurtenance in front of the principal building in the
general vicinity of the main entryway or main path of travel which leads to
the main entrance from a public street or otherwise separately mounted in
an approved manner upon the face or wall or upon a post- or mailbox in the
front yard of the premises. Numbers shall be mounted at a height between four
feet and 10 feet. They shall be sufficiently legible as to contrasting background,
arrangement, spacing, size and uniformity of numerals so that the numbers
may be read with ease during daylight hours by a person possessing normal
vision if he views the numbers from the center line of the facing street.
The numbers shall be so placed that trees, shrubs and other obstructions do
not block the line of sight of the numbers from the center of the street to
any appreciable degree.
The final authority for determining and assigning the street number or numbers to be used upon any particular property, as well as the enforcement of this chapter, shall be in the office of the Township Manager, his agent or such other person as provided for in §
133-3 of this chapter.
