This Uniform Address Numbering Ordinance is hereby adopted by the Vernon
Town Board, to provide a single system of displaying address numbers for all
residential, commercial, industrial, and public assembly occupancies within
the Town of Vernon. Such ordinance is intended to make addresses readily visible
to emergency service responders during all times of the day, and thus decrease
response times. Address numbers displayed shall be as assigned by the Town
and as filed in the office of the Town Clerk. The Uniform Address System of
the Town shall be based on and become a part of the Uniform Address System
for Waukesha County, as recommended by the County Board on March 12, 1957,
and shall conform to the Uniform System of Numbering recommended in the Report
of the Special Committee of Waukesha County Board appointed to study developing
a uniform address system.
The owners of all residential, commercial, industrial and public assembly
occupancies shall have uniform address numbers installed that are assigned
to the occupancy by the Town Building Inspector in the manner described herein.
Within 30 days after the final approval of any new subdivision or other division
of land, the Building Inspector shall assign an address to each parcel. In
addition, whenever it appears to the Town Building Inspector that an existing
parcel in the Town is not numbered in accordance with this section, the Town
Building Inspector shall assign a new address that complies with this section
to such existing parcel. Records shall be kept of the assignments and a copy
shall be provided to the Town Clerk, Town Treasurer, Town Assessor, Fire Department
and owner.
