Name Jeremy Barnhart JML Planning Department Report
Title Community Development Director
Item Description: 17-3892 City of Orono Text Amendment: House Numbering
Application Summary
The Building code requires house numbers to be 4 inches in height, our ordinance, Section 18-18 requires 3 inches of height. At the November work session, the Council directed staff
to address this inconsistency. This item was deemed a housekeeping measure. Clear, discernable house numbers are important to facilitate deliveries and emergency response.
The ordinance does not amend a land use provision, therefore a public hearing or review by the Planning Commission is not required.
In all draft ordinances, proposed new language is underlined, and language proposed to be deleted is struckthrough.
Planning Staff Recommendation
Staff has prepared two ordinances for consideration. Option A modifies only the sections necessary to achieve the original goal, which was to remove the inconsistency between the two
ordinances. Option B deletes all language pertaining to house numbering standards already included in the building code.
Action Requested:
Approve, by motion, an ordinance, either option A or B, as drafted.
