Each property owner shall cause to be erected, visible in either
direction from the roadway serving said property, a sign of letters
or numbers or a combination of letters and numbers, at least three
inches in height, on a contrasting background, indicating the mailing
address of said property identifying said property.
Said sign shall be clearly visible in adverse weather conditions
and at night by light produced by low-beam headlights.
This chapter shall become effective immediately, and each property
owner shall have 30 days immediately to comply with the terms hereof
after assignment of a house number.
Any properties not numbered at this time shall be numbered upon
development with the approval of the Planning Commission.
The Township Commissioners or any officer or employee designated

by personal service or by United States mail, to the owner of any
premises whereupon the street number at the premises is not posted
in violation of the provisions of this chapter, directing and requiring
such owner to post a street number so as to conform to the requirements
of this chapter within 15 days after issuance of such notice. In case
any owner shall neglect, fail or refuse to comply with such notice
within the period of time stated herein, the Township authorities
may post a street number on the premises and collect the cost thereof,
together with any additional penalty authorized by law, from such
owner in the manner provided by law.
