[Adopted 12-12-1955 by Ord. No. 13-55 (Ch. 38 of the 1969
Code); amended in its entirety at time of adoption of Code (see Ch.
1, General Provisions, Art. II)]
No person, firm or corporation shall open any curbs along any
public road or street under the control of the Township of Morris
without first obtaining a written permit therefor signed by the Superintendent
of the Department of Roads and Sanitation of the Township. Application
for such permit shall be made in writing and shall generally describe
the contemplated curb opening. Such permit shall indicate the date
upon which the operation is started and the date upon which it is
contemplated it will be completed.
Curb opening permits shall only be issued to provide ingress
and egress to driveways or parking places. Said curb opening shall
be only to the extent that it is necessary to permit ingress and egress
to driveways and parking places. In cases of openings for parking
places, no permit shall be issued by the Superintendent of the Department
of Roads and Sanitation until the same shall have been approved by
the Township Committee. In the cases of curb openings, the parking
places without permits must be authorized by the Township Committee.
The Committee shall determine the location thereof in relation to
the traffic upon the road or street so that the opening will not endanger
life or property.
No person, firm or corporation shall be granted a permit to
open any curb until a deposit shall be made with the Superintendent
of the Department of Roads and Sanitation in an amount sufficient
to pay the expenses of repairing or replacing the curb, which work
shall be done by the Township under the direction of the Superintendent
of the Department of Roads and Sanitation. The amount deemed to pay
the expenses of opening said curb shall be a sum equal to $3 per foot;
provided, however, that the minimum payment shall be $10.
Any person, firm or corporation violating any of the terms of this article shall, upon conviction thereof, be punishable as provided in § 1-3, General penalty, of this Code.
