Mailboxes are a functional necessity, not a decorative item. Since they are
in a visual location, they must be straightforward in design and mounted on
simple posts constructed in accordance with the
design provided. They must be located so as not to obstruct sidewalks
or sight lines in accordance with postal regulations.
Single
Family mailboxes must be black and the supporting post must be painted Cocoa
as manufactured by Olympic or an ARB approved equivalent (shown right).
The mailbox post and drop box/flyer slot are to be
constructed of wood.
All postal
boxes must meet postal regulations. Only temporary seasonal decorations are
permitted. No application is required if replacing mailbox with similar
mailbox. The USPS requires that numbers must be printed in numerals no less
than 1” (inch) high and placed on the side of the mailbox visible to
carriers as they approach it, or on the door if the mailboxes are grouped.
See the following illustration for the mailbox measurements.
