BOX LIMITATIONS. Any property owner in a residential area of the City may erect one post and not more than two boxes thereupon for the purpose of receiving mail, newspapers, shoppers and flyers. Any box that is set up to receive mail from the United States Postal Service shall meet the requirements established by the Postal Service for such boxes. In areas where there is delivery by the Postal Service through direct delivery by non-motorized mail carriers, the said delivery box must be located on the property owned by the resident. It need not be mounted on a post. In no case shall there be more than two delivery boxes, one to receive mail from the United States Postal Service and the other to receive newspapers, shoppers, flyers and other similar types of publications. Where there is motorized mail delivery, these said boxes shall be mounted on a single support post. Boxes for mail delivery shall be located on the same side of the road as the direction of the mail carrier's line of travel, except that either side is permissible on one-way streets. Boxes for mail delivery shall be located on the far side of the driveway in relation to the direction of the mail carrier's line of travel.

EXCEPTIONS. Exceptions to the above requirements for the placement of mailboxes and other delivery boxes may be granted by the Director of Public Works in circumstances where in his opinion literal compliance with the above requirements would create a hardship to the property owner or a safety hazard or interfere with drainage. In no case shall the City be responsible for damage to any box or supporting post, other than cases in which negligence of City officers, employees or agents causes said damage.

(3)

CHANGE IN LOCATION OR CONSTRUCTION. The Director of Public Works may order a change in the location or manner of construction of any mailbox or other delivery box or supporting post which is installed in violation of this ordinance or which creates a safety hazard. If the property owner who is required to make the change fails or refuses to make said change within 30 days, a citation for violation of this ordinance may be issued by the Director of Public Works.

PENALTY PROVISIONS. The penalty provisions set forth in Section 25.04 of the Kiel Ordinances shall apply for any violations of the provisions of this ordinance with respect to location, construction and maintenance of mailboxes and other delivery boxes.
