Post Those Address Numbers!
Residents, business owners, and landlords are asked to clearly post address
numbers in a prominent location on the street side of their structural property.
Insure the numbers are in good physical condition and free from obstructions
like bushes, tree limbs, decorative flags, or shadows that would make them
difficult to see from the street. If numbers are posted on curbside mailboxes,
be sure numbers are on BOTH sides as emergency responders may approach your
address from either direction.
From the legal standpoint, both the Zoning and Fire codes in New Richmond
REQUIRE the posting of house numbers: The ordinance states: "...every
building must be identified with the appropriate assigned street address.
The numbers must be in standard Arabic form of at least 3" x 2" or
larger if necessary, to be seen from the nearest fronting road."
If your home or business is located far enough from the street to make reading
the numbers impossible, please consider purchasing an aluminum address sign
from the New Richmond Life Savers group. You may have noticed these green
signs with white, reflective numbers mounted on mailbox and steel posts throughout
the area. Signs cost $ 12.00 each and steel mounting posts, if needed, are
an additional $ 5.00.
Call the EMS station to place your order or for more information.
