(A) The intent and purpose of this chapter is to establish the requirement that all owners and/or occupiers of nonresidential properties located in the (PS) Professional and C-1 Districts on any main thoroughfare within the village, display, upon the all buildings and structures, affixed street address numbers clearly visible from the fronting road. Similar information shall be required to be displayed at or near the primary entrance drive.
(B) This section addresses the manner by which such display shall be affixed to or posted so as to promote, to the greatest extent possible, the safety and welfare of the public by assuring that such entities as the Police and Fire Departments and/or emergency medical service providers and rescue personnel are readily able to identify a location in case of any emergency.
(C) The regulations are structured to eliminate unnecessary traffic hazards created by drivers trying, unsuccessfully, to identify a location with inadequately small, obstructed or obscured address identification displays.
(D) These regulations are based on the pattern of past and proposed future development within the business districts of the village. The regulation regarding size, format and placement of the subject address identification display is based predominantly on the density of the business district. The regulations have been formatted to promote ease of recognition of address from the adjoining thoroughfare.
(E) This section may require elimination of, or alteration to, certain existing displays along main thoroughfares which contain information other than the street address numbers and name of the owner or occupant of the premises and/or fail to conform to provisions calculated to the greatest extent possible to eliminate hazards brought about by distracting displays.
