[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town of Weston 5-4-1989, effective
6-7-1989. Amendments noted where applicable.]
A.
It is the intent and purpose of this chapter to establish
an effective and easily recognizable system for the exact location
of various residential units in the Town of Weston to ensure the rapid
location of any residential unit by emergency vehicles.
B.
The numbers for each residential unit shall correspond
to the numbers recorded in the official records of the Assessor.
The owner of each residential unit shall affix
thereto a number designating the street number of the residential
unit. Such number shall be no less than three inches in height, shall
be in a color contrasting to the area to which it is affixed, shall
be visible from the street to which such number relates and shall
be located in close proximity to the main entrance of the residential
unit facing said street. In case of a residential unit more than 50
feet from said street, the owner shall, in addition to the number
described above, display a number meeting the specifications set forth
herein on a mailbox, fence or post located at the property line reasonably
adjacent to said street, the side of the driveway or sidewalk in such
a manner as to make said number visible from the street. If the number
is placed upon a mailbox adjacent to the street, the number shall
be placed on each side of the mailbox in a location visible from the
street. If more than one residential unit is located on a single driveway,
the owner of each residence on the driveway shall, in addition to
the residence number on the street, affix the number at the intersection
of the driveway where his residence is located.
Property owners who violate this chapter for
the first time shall be notified by mail to correct the violation
within 30 days of the notification. Subsequent violations shall be
subject to a fine established by the Board of Selectmen. The amount
of such fine may, from time to time, be amended by the Board of Selectmen.
