[Amended 12-26-1978 STM]
Before any sidewalk is constructed by the authority of §
180-3 of this ordinance, the Selectmen, after notice to all parties in interest and a hearing thereon, may make a finding of fact that public necessity and convenience require that such sidewalk be constructed, and a copy of such finding shall be mailed to or placed in the hands of the owner of said property adjacent to which such sidewalk is to be constructed. Any such owner may appeal to the Superior Court within 20 days from the receipt of a copy of said finding of the Selectmen, as provided by Section 7-119 of the Connecticut General Statutes, as amended.
The Board of Selectmen, by its authorized agent, shall give grades and
lines for and shall supervise the construction or repair of sidewalks, driveway
aprons, curbs or combined curbs and gutters and all other work of similar
nature to be performed on the public highways and streets of the town, but
such supervision shall not relieve the contractor from his obligation to perform
the work strictly in accordance with the provisions hereof and the provisions
of other laws or ordinances relating to sidewalks and curbs.
The Board of Selectmen is hereby authorized and empowered to adopt,
from time to time, such reasonable rules, regulations and specifications for
the construction of sidewalks, driveway aprons, curbs and combined curbs and
gutters as it may deem for the best interests of the town. No sidewalk other
than cement concrete or bituminous concrete may be laid or constructed upon
the public highways or streets of the town.
[Amended 12-26-1978 STM]

ordinance or an order issued hereunder shall be punished by a fine of $5 or
the maximum fine by statute for each such violation. Each day that such violation
shall continue shall be considered a separate offense.
