[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town of Putnam 3-19-1980 STM. Amendments
noted where applicable.]
No person, firm or corporation shall construct a new driveway
or relocate an existing driveway leading onto a Town road without
first obtaining a written permit from the Building Official of the
Town of Putnam. In determining the advisability of issuing such permit,
the Building Official shall include in his consideration the location
of the driveway with respect to its effect on highway drainage, highway
safety, the width and character of the highway affected, the density
of traffic thereon, and the character of such traffic.
The person to whom such permit is issued shall comply with the
provisions and restrictions contained therein at his own expense.
Failure of any person constructing or locating such new driveway
to first obtain such a permit shall constitute a violation of this
chapter. Each day such driveway is permitted or suffered to remain
shall constitute a separate violation. In addition, the Building Official
shall have the right of injunctive relief against such violators.
Any person, firm or corporation violating any provisions of
this chapter shall be fined not more than $25.
Any person who is aggrieved by the decision of the Building
Official shall have the right of appeal to the Board of Selectmen.
The Selectmen are hereby authorized to adopt reasonable standards
for the issuance of said permits, which regulations shall be placed
on file in the Town Clerk's office.
