MAILBOXES
Recommended guidelines for installing mailbox and post:
Post Height: Measuring from bottom of mailbox to the point where the post meets the surface (does not include the measurement of post in the ground) should be 45 inches.
Set Back: Measure 14 feet from centerline of road to face of mailbox. The Highway Department uses this guideline when replacing mailboxes after road construction.
The Highway Department also recommends that Town residents that have a distinctive or expensive mailbox replace it with an inexpensive model during the winter months. This recommendation also is suggested for residents who have plastic mailboxes. These particular mailboxes are becoming brittle in the cold weather and when the snow is thrown from the snowplow, the weight of the snow is breaking the mailbox.
