Ordinances 182.1 and 94.2 were adopted during the November 11, 2007 City Council meeting.  The full context of each can be read by clicking on “CITY HALL”, above,  and then selecting “MINUTES”, from the left margin.  The minutes for 11-8-07 include the full text of both ordinances.  Both of these ordinances will be enforced beginning February 14, 2008

Ordinance 182.1
The majority of buildings and homes in Youngsville that do not presently have address numbers displayed.  In most cases, the only address numbers that have been used are small and placed on the mail box.  In many cases, there is no address number at all or the mail box is so displaced from the home that specific identification of the building is not possible.   In order for each building to be easily identified by emergency response personnel, home delivery services, and other property visitors, Ordinance 182.1 has been adopted.  This ordinance requires all buildings within the corporate limits of Youngsville to display address numbers that are at least four (4) inches high.  These numbers should be positioned such that they can be readily seen from the street or roadway. 

Ordinance 94.2
Most of the residents of Youngsville take a great deal of pride in the appearance of their property and our city.  In rare cases, some individuals must be reminded to cut the grass on their property.  Unfortunately, some of these sites become significant health hazards.  Ordinance 94.2 was adopted to provide the City Of Youngsville access to those areas which need attention.  This ordinance also updates the property owner notification procedure needed prior to the city correcting the hazard.  The reimbursements of the costs incurred by the city to remove the hazard is also included in this ordinance.
