If a mailbox is physically hit by a Village snowplow or other Village
equipment, the Public works Department will replace it according to the criteria
specified above. Mailboxes that are hit by snow, from snow plowing operations
and damaged, will not be replaced by the Village. The Village will provide a
temporary mailbox until weather permits the resident to make the repairs in the
spring.
The only mailboxes installed by the Village or considered for reimbursement must
be installed per the specifications shown below.
Mailboxes As Exceptions:
United States postal service approved mailboxes are permitted within a public
right of way under the following conditions:
a. The front face of the mailbox, once mounted, shall be twelve inches (12")
from the back of the curb, or if no curb is present, shall be twenty four inches
(24") from the road pavement.
b. The distance from grade to the bottom surface of the mailbox shall be forty
eight inches (48").
c. The mailbox may be mounted on a mounting structure of the following sizes and
materials, and no others:
(1) A wood post of which the area of an average cross section may not be more
than sixteen (16) square inches.
(2) A metal post not more than two and one-half inches (2 1/2") in outside
diameter.
d. Permitted mounting structures may be affixed to a concrete slab; if said slab
does not exceed the existing grade in height and is not larger than twenty four
inches by twenty four inches (24" x 24") square and eighteen inches (18") deep.
e. Residents should take all necessary precautions to prevent damage to any
existing utility located in the parkway.
