The following numbering conventions are adopted in
order to implement the uniform property numbering system:
(3)
Local (land service) roads. Numbers start at a main
or connector road and increase in any direction from such road.
(4)
Odd/even convention.
(a)
Generally, odd numbers are used on the west
and south sides of any road.
(b)
Generally, even numbers are used on the east
and north sides of any road.
(c)
When the above generalizations are in conflict,
such as when a road runs in two directions, e.g., east then north,
northwest or loops, convention is to make a judgment based upon the
longest segment of the road.
C.
New construction; subdivisions.
(1)
Prior to the issuance of any certificate of occupancy
for new residential or commercial construction within this Town, the
Assessor shall assign a number to each structure for which such certificate
is sought in accordance with the foregoing conventions.
(2)
No real estate subdivision shall receive final approval
from the Planning Board unless and until the Town Assessor has assigned
numbers to each lot contained in such subdivision in accordance with
the foregoing conventions and has endorsed his or her approval on
the plat.
A.
The Putnam County base map entitled "Town of Southeast,
Putnam County, New York," dated 2-17-1989, prepared by the Putnam
County Division of Planning, is hereby adopted in order to set forth
the correct street names for implementing this chapter.
B.
No new streets shall be accepted by the Town until
such street shall be identified by name. If new streets are extensions
of existing streets, the name of such existing streets shall be attached
to such extension. If a new street is not an extension of an existing
street, then the name by which the new street is designated shall
not be identical to, nor bear any similarity to, or conflict with
the names of any existing street as shown on said map, amendment or
modification thereof.
C.
Prior to the assignment of a name to any new street,
such name shall be approved by the Assessor of the Town of Southeast.
The following specifications, standards and
requirements in connection with the numbering of properties and principal
buildings are hereby adopted:
A.
All properties or parcels of land within the area
as shown on the above-mentioned map shall hereinafter be identified
(for street location purposes) by reference to the uniform numbering
system adopted herein. All existing numbers of property and buildings
not now in conformity with the provisions of this chapter shall be
changed to conform to the system herein adopted within six months
after the adoption of this chapter.
B.
Each principal building shall bear the number assigned
to the street frontage on which the front entrance is located. In
case a principal building is occupied by more than one business or
family dwelling unit, the entrance to each separate use of such principal
building shall bear a separate number.
C.
Numerals indicating the official numbers for each principal building
or for each separate entrance as specified above shall be posted in
a manner as to be visible from the street on which the property is
located. Whenever any building is situated more than 50 feet from
the street line, the official number shall be affixed to a gate post,
fence, tree, post or other appropriate place so as to be easily discernible
from the street line and so as to show clearly, if not otherwise evident,
which is the driveway for the property. The numbers shall be not less
than four inches in height and shall be made of durable and clearly
visible material.
