§ 17-82. Plat books to show numbers.

(a)

It shall be the duty of the enforcement officer to prepare a plat book, showing the streets and lots of the city, and showing each number assigned along each street, and where adjustments of the numbering system are necessary on account of the irregularity of streets, or because of a lack of uniformity of blocks, the enforcement officer may adjust such irregularities in the most practicable manner, being particular to keep blocks of the city having the same number in hundreds practically east and west, or north and south, of each other, so as to keep the numbering system of the city practically symmetrical, according to the spirit and intent of this article. Such plat book, when completed, and approved by the council, shall be filed with the city engineer and become a part of this article.

(b)

Whenever any addition to the city has been adopted by the council, the enforcement officer shall, without delay, prepare and submit a number plat of such addition, assigning proper numbers for all houses which may front on any of the streets included in such addition, making the same to conform systematically with the system of house numbering in the rest of the city, and in conformity with this article. Such number plat shall be presented to, and approved by, the council; and upon its approval, it shall be filed with the city engineer and become a part of this article, in like manner as the original plat provided herein. Such plat shall be used in assigning numbers for all buildings then existing, or thereafter built, in such addition.

(c)

In this section "enforcement officer" means the person designated as such by the council.
