No person, firm, corporation or other entity shall connect a driveway
or other point of entry onto a Town, county or state right-of-way within the
Town of Wheatfield without first obtaining a permit from the Town of Wheatfield
Highway Department.
The applicant shall keep in good repair all pipes, hydrants or appurtenances
which may be placed within the bounds of the highway under terms of this permit
and shall save the Town harmless from all claims and damages which may occur
by reason of their location on the highway and upon notice by the Highway
Superintendent, who agrees to make any repairs required for the protection
and preservation of the highway, and further agrees that, upon the failure
of the applicant to make such repairs, they may be made by the Highway Superintendent
at the expense of the applicant; and such expense shall be a prior lien upon
the land benefited by the use of the highway for such pipes, hydrants or appurtenances.
A.
If the work performed is on a road which has been approved by
state aid, in no case shall the pavement be disturbed. Upon completion of
the work, the highway shall be left in as good a condition as before the work

harmless on account thereof.
