[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village
of Buchanan 10-4-1971 by L.L. No. 1-1971 (Ch. 27 of the 1971
Code). Amendments noted where applicable.]
All lots, parts of lots or other property abutting on any street
or avenue shall be numbered.
The official map dated November 13, 1940, presented by the Village
Engineer, is hereby adopted as the Official House Numbering Map of
the Village of Buchanan.
Baselines shown upon the map shall constitute the baselines
for numbering all streets as shown on the annexed map.
In all districts, both business and residential, from the corner
of each block next to its respective baseline, each 50 feet of frontage
shall be given a number. Where two dwellings are located on the same
fifty-foot lot, the second dwelling shall have the same number as
the first dwelling, with the letter "A" added.
On all streets, the numbers shall run in consecutive order,
alternating from side to side. The odd numbers shall be on the right-hand
side of the street when going away from the baseline.
In case of doubt or if a question arises as to the proper number
to be assigned to any lot or building, the Engineer shall decide the
question and fix the number of such lot or building.
All buildings now or hereafter erected or fronting on any street,
avenue or alley shall have conspicuously placed on such building the
number as provided by this chapter.
The number placed upon any building shall be of metal or a type
approved and provided by the Village.
The owner shall make application to the Village Clerk and pay
to him the required price for the metal numbers which will be provided
for him.
A.
In general, the number shall be placed upon the center of the riser
of the top step leading to the building. Where this is impracticable,
the location shall be designated by the Engineer.
B.
If any building stands back more than 75 feet from the street line,
the number of such building shall be conspicuously displayed at or
near the walk, driveway or common entrance to such building and the
street line, upon the gatepost, fence, tree, post or other appropriate
place, so as to be easily legible from the sidewalk.
