§ 158.42 POSTING OF STREET ADDRESS NUMBERS.
   The owner, occupant or agent of the primary structure shall place or cause to be placed and maintained upon each primary structure the numbers assigned under the addressing system as provided in this chapter. The following criteria must be used to properly display the number:
   (A)   The address numbers shall be placed on the primary structure within 30 days from the date of notification by the Addressing Coordinator after approval of such assignment as required by this chapter.
   (B)   The numbers shall be conspicuously placed immediately above, on, or at the side of the proper door of each primary structure addressed so that the number can be seen plainly from the roadway on which the address is based and shall be a minimum of four inches in height. Whenever any primary structure is more than 120 feet from the roadway which the address is based upon, and the number is not clearly discernible from the roadway right of way, or vision of the primary structure from the roadways is otherwise obscured, the number assigned shall be placed on a sign (minimum of six inches by 18 inches) attached near the walk, driveway or common entrance to such primary structure. It shall be affixed upon a gatepost, fence, post or other appropriate place so as to be easily discernible, and to clearly identify the entrance to a property. Alternatively, numbers can be posted on an individual U.S. mailbox or U.S. mailbox stand/post for the building if:
      (1)   The U.S. mailbox is distant and separate from any other U.S. mailbox so as to eliminate confusion as to specific ownership, and;
      (2)   The U.S. mailbox is located along the roadway on which the address is based, and is adjacent to the driveway or access to the primary structure;
      (3)   The address numbers are affixed to the U.S. mailbox or U.S. mailbox post/stand in such a manner as to be visible and readable from any and/or all directions from the roadway which it fronts;
      (4)   The address numbers on the US mailbox or US mailbox post/stand are no less than three inches in height.
      (5)   Numbers painted or stenciled on the curb shall not be a lawful substitute for the display of address numbers prescribed by this section.
   (C)   Numbers for multiple dwelling units and nonresidential buildings shall be at least six inches in height and shall be placed on the primary structure so as to be easily and readily seen facing the roadway nearest the street in which the building is accessed.
   (D)   All numbers must be made of a durable, clearly visible material and must contrast with the color of the house, building, or other structure. Numbers must also be reflective for night time identification.
   (E)   Address numbers should be plain block numeric numbers and not in alpha print or any type of script writing.
   (F)   The Addressing Coordinator shall be authorized to approve alternate methods of displaying the address numbers on primary structures that meet the intent of this chapter.
