It is the purpose of these specifications to establish minimum
acceptable standards of driveway construction to be built in connection
with the development or subdivision of land in the Town of Kent, including
but not limited to width, design, drainage, construction of base and
pavement, curbs and sidewalks, monuments and signs. The specifications
and standards set forth herein shall apply to all driveways to be
constructed in the Town of Kent.
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 Kent until a driveway permit has been duly issued as above provided and an as-built survey has been provided to the Town in accordance with §
57-26A(5)(c).
[Amended 9-26-2017 by L.L. No. 3-2017]
No bond or surety shall be required of any applicant in connection
with a driveway permit unless such work will require the breaking
of pavement on a Town road or unless culvert work or other work, such
as erosion control work, is required for satisfactory construction.
In such case, the Highway Superintendent shall require sufficient
surety, in the form of a cash bond, surety bond, or letter of credit,
to ensure the restoration of the pavement or completion of the work,
as the case may be.
No certificate of occupancy shall be issued by the Building
Inspector or any department or agency of the Town of Kent until final
approval of the driveway construction has been duly given by the Highway
Superintendent, which approval shall be endorsed on all three copies
of the driveway permit upon completion of the driveway as preliminarily
approved by the Superintendent.
