Sec. 4-5. - Same—Numbering specifications.

(a)

The owner or person receiving written or printed notice from the building inspector that such real estate has been numbered or renumbered shall cause to be affixed the number so established and assigned, as provided in this section.

(b)

The owner, occupant or lessee of each and every structure which now fronts or which may hereafter front upon any public or private street or shall be located in whole or in part within the city shall cause the authorized and assigned number of such structure to be permanently and conspicuously placed in accordance with the specifications set forth in this chapter. Any building presently numbered shall display the existing number as set forth in this section.

(c)

Such assigned house, condominium unit or building numbers shall be:

(1)

Arabic numerals or script;

(2)

A minimum height of four inches;

(3)

Mounted in secure fashion to the front wall or porch of the building, condominium unit or house, so that it is clearly visible from the street;

(4)

Sufficiently legible as to contrasting background, arrangement, spacing and uniformity so as to be clearly visible from the street;

(5)

At least 30 inches above ground level and so placed that trees, shrubs and other obstructions do not block the line of sight of the numbers from the street upon which the building fronts or otherwise;

(6)

If possible, the numbers shall be placed alongside any existing outside lighting, so that such numbers will be illuminated.

(d)

Placement of numbers on posts, rod or mailbox shall be as follows:

(1)

If the numbers affixed to the front of the building would not be visible from the street, as required in this chapter, then in the alternative, the requirements of sections 4-2 through 4-7 would be deemed satisfied if the owner, occupant or lessee shall provide the arabic numerals or script, as required in this chapter, upon a post, rod or other type of fixture of substantial nature adjacent to a driveway leading to such building so that the number may be conspicuous and visible from the road. The location shall not be greater than 12 feet from the edge of the roadway. A mailbox, post or rod on the opposite side of the street on which the building fronts or is located, will not satisfy the requirements of sections 4-2 through 4-7.

(2)

The rear door to any building, other than a residency, must also be marked as specified in this chapter. The business name, in three-inch letters must also be marked on the rear door to such building.
