[Adopted 4-21-2016 by Ord. No. 07-16]
All mailboxes for the receipt of United States mail located
in or adjacent to any right-of-way within the Township of Mine Hill
shall be constructed with the following specifications:
A.
Every mailbox used for the receipt of mail shall have been approved
by the United States Postal Service.
B.
The front of the mailbox must be a minimum of four inches from the
curbline or edge of pavement of every roadway. If there is no pavement
on the road, then it is from the generally accepted travel portion
of the road.
C.
The bottom of the mailbox must be at least 41 inches and no more
than 45 inches above the roadway elevation.
D.
All posts to support the mailbox shall be constructed of stable material
and installed at least 30 inches below grade.
E.
Number 8 minimum size screws that are weather resistant shall be
used for the assembly of the mailbox and post. No nails for the construction
of the same shall be permitted.
F.
Mailboxes which do not meet these requirements are not a permitted
structure and remain in the right-of-way solely at the liability of
the abutting property owner.
All mailboxes within the Township that do not meet these requirements
upon the effective date of this article shall have eight months from
the effective date of this article to comply with these requirements.
In the event Township vehicles or Township employees, in the
process of clearing snow and ice from the road or doing maintenance
or construction work, destroy or damage any mailbox and the support
therefor, the Township will replace the mailbox and support post with
like-kind materials. In the event that the mailbox and support damaged
do not comply with the requirements of this article, the Township
reserves the right not to replace the mailbox or support.
