Resolution and purpose.

Greenville Fire Department and Emergency Medical Services that it
is difficult to locate some residences or businesses in Greenville

of ice or snow.

The top of the sign shall not be less than 40 inches nor more than 50 inches from ground level.
(4)
The Town may select an alternative placement option where topography,
road maintenance requirements, or other circumstances require.
(5)
If all mailboxes within an Area 2 subdivision are located in front of and on the same side of the street as the residence, then the sign can be placed behind the mailbox on a post. If all mailboxes in an Area 2 subdivision do not meet the above criteria, they must comply with regular Area 2 post location requirements listed in Subsection B(3) above.
