Sec. 70-7. - Placement of building numbers; color, size and visibility of numbers.

All numbers affixed to or inscribed on buildings shall be prominently placed. Numbers shall be not less than three inches in height and in a contrasting color to the building. Numbers shall be affixed not less than five feet above grade level and not more than ten feet above grade level. Numbers shall be affixed or inscribed so that they are visible from the street or road and not obstructed by storm doors, shrubs, awnings, overhangs, columns, decorations, etc. Where buildings are set back from the street so that the number affixed or inscribed thereon cannot be seen from the street due to the distance involved, the number shall be prominently displayed at the head of the access to the building.
