The owner or owners, occupant or occupants of
each and every dwelling house, store or other building now fronting
or which may hereafter front on any street or public place within
the township shall, at their own cost and expense, cause their buildings
to be numbered in conformity with the requirements of this Chapter and as is shown on a series of maps made by the Township
Engineer and as filed in the office of the Clerk of the township.
The numbers shall be figures not less than two
nor more than three inches in height, placed conspicuously on the
front of each building and in such a way as to be easily discernible
from the street.
For the proper numbering of said dwelling houses,
stores and other buildings, the following numbering plan heretofore
adopted is hereby continued:
A.
All lots fronting on any street or public place in
the township shall be considered and treated as having a frontage
thereon, respectively, for the purpose of being numbered, of not exceeding
50 feet each. Each and every such lot having an actual frontage of
50 feet or less shall be numbered as if the same were the full frontage
of 50 feet. Each and every such lot having an actual frontage exceeding
said 50 feet shall have a number for each 50 feet or fraction thereof.
B.
The respective number for each and every said lot
in the township shall be as is designated for the particular street
or streets as is shown on a series of maps respectively, entitled
with the streets to which they refer, said series of maps having been
made by the Township Engineer and which maps are on file in the office
of the Township Clerk.
Upon the laying out or opening of any new public
street or public place in the township, the Township Committee shall,
by resolution, cause a map to be made showing and designating the
street numbers for the several lots on said public street or public
place.
The owner or owners of any dwelling house, store
or stores or other buildings incorrectly, improperly or insufficiently
numbered shall be notified in writing by the Township Engineer to
change or replace such incorrect or improper number or to affix a
number where one is lacking within 10 days after such notice.
Any person who violates any provision of this
chapter shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished by a fine not
exceeding $500 or by imprisonment for a term not exceeding 90 days,
or both.
