[HISTORY: Adopted by Town Meeting of the Town of Brookfield 6-26-1975.
Amendments noted where applicable.]
A.
Map Number 3C24, entitled "Brookfield, Connecticut, Street
Numbering Sequence Map," filed at the office of the Town Clerk, shall be employed
as the basis for establishing number flow of all existing and future streets.
B.
Route 25 from the Newtown Town line north to its junction
with Route 7 and then north on Route 7 to the New Milford Town line shall
constitute the base line for numbering.
C.
Numbering shall be consecutive, with even numbers on
the north and west side and odd numbers on the south and east side of the
streets. In the case of a curvilinear street, the odd and even numbers shall
be determined by the direction of the major portion of the street.
D.
Numbering shall start at the base line and emanate east
and west from this line for all east/west oriented streets. North/south oriented
streets shall be numbered starting at the southernmost portion. An exception
would be when a street ends in a cul-de-sac, in which case the number shall
start at the head of the street or where it initially junctions with another
street.
E.
Corner lots at intersections shall be assigned a number
on each street. Those lots with a structure shall use the number assigned
on the street facing the main entrance.
Numbers shall be determined by the foot frontage:
A.
For commercial and industrial zones, all numbers shall
be assigned on the basis of one number per each 50 feet, except where existing
structures dictate the necessity of numbering to be on a greater or lesser
footage.
B.
For residential zones, all numbers shall be assigned
on the basis of one number per 150 feet, except where existing lot sizes dictate
the necessity of numbering to be on a greater or lesser footage.
Shopping centers shall be assigned one number for the total complex.
This number shall be determined by the location of the main entrance to the
complex. If this cannot be readily determined, then that number which corresponds
with the approximate center of the structure shall be assigned.
Professional buildings shall be assigned one number per building. This
number shall be determined by location of the main entrance to the building
with respect to the street-numbering sequence.
Apartment and condominium complexes shall have their own distinct identification
or street name and shall be numbered consecutively.
A.
When street numbering has been completed, the owner,
occupant or agent shall place or cause to be placed upon each house or building
controlled by him the number or numbers assigned.
B.
Such number or numbers shall be placed on existing buildings
within 30 days. The cost of the numbers shall be paid for by the property
owner. The numbers used shall not be less than three inches in height and
shall be made of a durable and clearly visible material. Failure to install
the proper number or numbers on existing buildings on or before the thirty-day
limit provided herein will subject violators to a fine of $25.
C.
The number shall be conspicuously placed above, on or
at the side of the proper door of each building, so that the number can be
seen plainly from the street line. Whenever a building is set more than 75
feet from the street line, the number shall be placed near the walk, drive
way or common entrance to such building and upon a gate post, fence, post
or other appropriate place so as to be discernible easily from the street
line.
Whenever any house, building or structure is erected, in order to preserve the continuity and uniformity of numbering, it shall be the responsibility of the owner or agent to procure the correct number or numbers as designated on the Assessor's maps and/or field cards for the said property and immediately fasten the said number or numbers so assigned as provided in § 99-6C of this chapter. The Zoning Enforcement Officer shall assign numbers when none appear on the Assessor's map or on the field cards.
The Zoning Enforcement Officer is the designated authority for the Town
of Brookfield to enforce this chapter.
