[Ord. 94, 5/3/1971, § 2]
The Borough Manager is hereby authorized and directed to draw
up a numbering plan for the Borough of Dublin for all lots and buildings
located in the Borough. Said numbering plan shall be based upon the
lot lines as taken from the records of the Bucks County Taxing Authority.
Said plan shall be submitted to the Borough Planning Commission for
recommendations prior to final approval by Borough Council. Immediately
following final approval by Borough Council, the final approved numbering
plan shall become effective for the Borough of Dublin and shall remain
on file at the Borough Office and be displayed openly in the Borough
Hall. Any changes, modifications or amendments to said final numbering
plan shall be submitted to the Borough Planning Commission for recommendations
before final approval by Borough Council.
[Ord. 94, 5/3/1971, § 3]
Immediately following final approval by Borough Council of the
aforesaid numbering plan and enactment and adoption of this Part,
the Borough Manager shall send to the owner of every lot upon which
a building is located in the Borough a notice of a number assigned
to such building, directing that such number be affixed to such building
or elsewhere upon the property in the manner prescribed by this Part
within 30 days of receipt of such notice. Any property owner who shall
disregard or fail to comply with such notice, within the time limit
stated therein, shall be guilty of a violation of this Part.
[Ord. 94, 5/3/1971, § 4; as amended by Ord. 263,

1.
Every building for which a street number has been assigned by the
Borough shall have the appropriate number displayed and maintained
in a location and size as to be readily seen and read from the closest
public right of way. All street numbers shall be of Arabic characters
a minimum of three inches in height, and 1/2 inch wide stroke. Structures
that are set back more than 50 feet from the edge of pavement or curb,
or any distance when the number cannot be easily seen from the right
of way, shall also have the assigned street number attached to a post
or mail box placed at the end of the drive way on the same side of
the road as the structure is located. These numbers shall be at least
three inches in height with 1/2 inch wide strokes, and shall be placed
on both sides of the post or mail box at a minimum height of 35 inches
above the top of curb elevation or 42 inches above the abutting roadway
surface without curb so as numbers can be observed by vehicles approaching
from either direction. All rural mailboxes established in accordance
with the U.S. Postal Regulations shall also meet these minimum number
height and placement requirements. All street numbers on a building
shall be illuminated whenever possible. All street numbers shall be
of a contrasting color to distinguish it from the background upon
which the number is placed. No street numbers shall be attached, painted
or placed upon any public curbs.
2.
The property owner shall affix or renew all numbers that do not conform
to the requirements of this section. In all cases of buildings occupied
by other than the owner thereof, the responsibility for compliance
with this Part is upon the owner or his duly authorized representative.
[Ord. 94, 5/3/1971, § 5]
Whenever a building shall hereafter be erected in the Borough,
the owner thereof shall forthwith apply to the Borough Manager for
the official number thereof. The numbers shall be assigned by the
Borough Manager in conformity with the requirements set forth in this
Part for numbers for existing buildings and shall, within 30 days
after being assigned to such building, be affixed by the owner thereof
in the manner required by this Part in the case of existing buildings
and shall thereafter be maintained as hereby required for the numbers
of existing buildings.
[Ord. 94, 5/3/1971, § 6; as amended by Ord. 256,
5/24/2004]
Any person, firm or corporation who shall violate any provision
of this Part, upon conviction thereof, shall be sentenced to pay a
fine of not more than $1,000 plus costs and, in default of payment
of said fine and costs, to a term of imprisonment not to exceed 30
days. Each day that a violation of this Part continues shall constitute
a separate offense.
