The purpose and intent of this section is to require property identification for buildings within the town for public safety and emergency response purposes and set enforcement provisions for failure to display identification. These standards are not considered a sign as described in the town's Sign Ordinance.
(A) The assigned street address of a building shall be displayed in such a manner so that the numerals can readily be seen from the street. The size of the numerals shall comply with the applicable standards required by the Building Code. However, the minimum numeral height for a non-residential building shall be eight inches, or as otherwise required by the Fire Marshall during the plan review process.
(B) Any dwelling or commercial building that abuts an alley or secondary access that could be used by motor vehicles shall not only display the premises identification on the front but shall also display its premises identification visible from the alternate access to the property.
(C) Any structure with a main entrance that is not directly accessible or visible from any roadway or parking lot shall also display the premises identification at the main entrance.
(D) Any structure for which there exists a ground or monument sign shall also display the premises identification on the ground or monument sign.
(E) When the numerals representing premises identification are removed or become illegible, such numerals shall be renewed or replaced by the owner or occupant of the building within ten business days.
(F) The provisions of this section requiring premises identification shall apply to all existing residential and non-residential structures within the town.
(G) The surface area devoted to these provisions does not count toward the sign area allocations in the town's Sign Ordinance.
