by the Town Highway Superintendent.
Nothing in this article shall be construed to prevent repairs
to driveways and/or culverts as may be necessary for the preservation
of life or property, provided that the owner shall apply for a driveway
permit on the first working day after such repairs have commenced.
Construction activity for a driveway performed within a Town
highway shall conform to the same standards and/or guidelines that
have been adopted by the Yates County Highway Department and any other
applicable provisions of this chapter.
