Title
Amending Sec. 10.34(3) of the Madison General Ordinances to clarify language pertaining to the requirement to post a newly assigned street number.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This ordinance corrects a drafting error made when Sec. 10.34 of the Madison General Ordinances was repealed and recreated in 2007. This ordinance moves a clause relating to the requirement to post a newly assigned street number from its present location to the correct location, thereby properly reflecting the intent of the clause.

The Common Council of the City of Madison do hereby ordain as follows:
Subsection (3) of Section 10.34 entitled "Street Numbers" of the Madison General Ordinances is amended to read as follows:
"(3) It shall be the duty of each owner or occupant of any building, within twenty (20) days after the completion or occupancy, or in the event that any building is assigned a new number by the City Engineer, whichever occurs first, of such building, or in the event that any building is assigned a new number by the City Engineer, to attach securely, or apply to the same, in a conspicuous position, that can be plainly seen from the street, the address number assigned by the City Engineer. Address numbers shall be Arabic numerals. Numbers shall be a minimum of four inches (4") high (102 mm) with a minimum of stroke width of 0.5 inch (12.7 mm). The address numbers shall contrast with the background on which they are affixed. The address number shall be not higher than the first or ground floor of said building. If any building is located so that the address number is not clearly visible from the street, an additional address number shall be posted at the intersection of the driveway with the street or in a conspicuous place that is clearly seen from the street. The additional address number shall be placed upon a post or other structure that displays the number at least forty-eight (48) inches above the ground. No person shall affix or caused to be affixed, or allow to remain upon any building, which he owns or occupies, a different number from the one designated by the City Engineer. It shall be the duty of each owner or occupant of any building keep such numbers so attached or applied at all times."
