Each such application shall be accompanied by
a true sketch of the proposed driveway, drawn to scale, with sufficient
detail of the adjacent area so that the Superintendent can make a
preliminary study before personally investigating the site. The Superintendent
may, in a proper case, require further or different information from
above set forth.
Upon the filing of the application, with the
sketch, which shall be deemed a part of the application, and after
study of the same and a personal examination of the proposed construction,
the Superintendent may approve or disapprove the application. In approving
or disapproving any application, the Superintendent shall consider
all proposals for drainage, stormwaters, grades, culverts, fill, facing
and any other pertinent matters which would in any manner affect the
Town highway by the construction of the driveway proposed in the permit
application.
If such application shall be disapproved, the
Superintendent shall endorse on the application his reasons therefor,
and the applicant shall have the opportunity to remedy the defects
and to resubmit the application.
If the application shall be approved, such approval
shall be endorsed upon each copy of the application, one to be returned
to the applicant, one to be retained by the Superintendent and the
third to be filed with the Building Inspector of the Town of Stanford.
All applications shall be appropriately indexed and numbered by the
Superintendent and all such applications, whether approved or disapproved,
shall be deemed public records and kept in the office of the Town
Clerk.
In all cases where a driveway is proposed on
premises for which a building permit is necessary, no such building
permit shall be issued by the Building Inspector or any other department
or agency of the Town of Stanford until a driveway permit has been
duly issued as above provided.
[Amended 9-13-1984 by L.L. No. 4-1984]

provisions of this chapter shall be guilty of a violation under the
