This article requires the owner of any residential, commercial, or other structure to post numbers on said structure for the health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of the town. In the posting of numbers on structures the following standards shall be used:
(1) The height of the number for a one- or two-family dwelling shall be a minimum of three inches with a one-half stroke. The building number for multifamily dwellings and commercial structures shall be a minimum of six-inches with three-fourth-inch stroke. The number shall be placed facing the roadway, within three feet of the entrance, when the building is easily seen from the roadway. For buildings not visible or more than 75 feet from roadway centerline, numbers shall be posted at the roadway adjacent to the drive. Numbers shall also be posted on the structure to be visible as you travel along the driveway.
(2) For mobile home parks or properties having only one address and individual lots the entrance shall have six-inch numbers and each lot shall have three-inch numbers. The lot numbers shall be marked uniformly and easily visible from driveway.
(3) Numbers shall be mounted on contrasting background to be easily visible, and reflective numbers are recommended.
(4) The town may approve an alternate method of displaying address numbers on a case-by-case basis when these standards cannot be reasonably met.
