NUMBERING OF STRUCTURES
All residences, commercial buildings, apartments, and mobile homes located within the city shall be assigned a unique numeric, alphabetical, or alpha-numeric designation. Commercial buildings include all business places and manufacturing plants.
(Ord. 1988-5, passed 7-5-88)
(A) All existing street numbers, apartment numbers, or mobile home lot numbers currently in use within the city are hereby adopted as official address numbers with the city, unless such numbers are not sufficiently unique to avoid confusion as to the address which they identify.
(B) In the event that the street numbers, apartment numbers, or mobile home lot numbers are not sufficiently unique to avoid confusion, the City Building Inspector shall assign new address numbers to uniquely identify these structures.
(C) In the event new address numbers are created within the city, the City Building Inspector shall assign these in a logical manner and shall provide this information to the Police, Fire, and Street Department and any other emergency services operating within the city, and to the postal service.
(D) In the event the city annexes additional areas, these areas shall retain the address numbers which they held prior to the annexation if at all possible and the city shall adopt these address numbers as the city address numbers.
(E) Garages and outbuildings now existing or built in the future on lots which are now currently assigned an address number, need not have a separate address number assigned to them unless they are separate residences or business places.
(Ord. 1988-5, passed 7-5-88)
(A) (1) All residences, commercial buildings, apartments, and mobile homes shall place and maintain the address numbers assigned to them in a place that is visible and readable from the street that is their street address. Each digit of the address number shall be a minimum of three inches in height, and be a color so as to make it stand out distinctly against its background. Each address number shall be displayed in English. The address numbers may be placed directly on the structure or on any other suitable place, including mailboxes. Whenever the address number is placed on any place other than the structure itself, it must be positioned as to allow the structure to be readily identified with the address number.
(2) Every separate apartment shall have its identifying letter or number, as described above, either on the main entry door or within 12 inches of that door. Every mobile home lot shall have its identifying letter or number, as described above, located in such a manner that it can be seen from the driveway or parking space assigned to that lot, and positioned so it identifies the lot it is assigned to.
(B) Whenever a residence, commercial building, apartment, or mobile home is located so that the principal accessway is other than the street it is on, such as an alley or a shared roadway, then the structure's identification, as described in this subchapter, shall be visible and readable from the accessway.
(Ord. 1988-5, passed 7-5-88) Penalty, see § 150.99
No owner, occupant, or agent of any structure, newly-erected structure, or structure moved to a new location shall refuse or fail, within 30 days of notification by the City Building Inspector of the correct address of such structure, to place or cause to be placed, the correct address number on the structure.
(Ord. 1988-5, passed 7-5-88) Penalty, see § 150.99
No person shall take down, without authority, or alter, deface, destroy, or conceal any number on any structure or place, or allow an erroneous number to be placed or remain on the structure owned, occupied, or controlled by him.
