Editor's Note: This chapter was originally adopted as a policy of the Board of Selectmen 7-6-1998.
If a culvert is necessary, the Road Commissioner shall state the culvert type, diameter, and length on the permit issued. If a culvert is not necessary, the Road Commissioner will so indicate on the permit issued.
The landowner is responsible for the purchase, installation, and proper backfilling of said culvert in strict accordance with the then-current installation instructions, a copy of which instructions shall be provided with the approved permit.
After approval of the installation, the Town thereafter becomes responsible for the care and maintenance of the culvert. This includes any necessary replacement.
Before any digging begins, "Dig Safe" will be notified and a Dig Safe number obtained. The number is 1-800-225-4977.
If any standard or requirement stated in this chapter conflicts with a standard or requirement of any other Town ordinance, regulation or policy regarding the installation or maintenance of culverts, the stricter or more stringent standard or requirement shall be applied to the permit application in question.
Any person constructing or causing to be placed any driveway or other planned opening onto a Town road not in compliance with the provisions of this chapter shall be liable to the Town for all fees and expenses of repairs and shall be subject to penalty provisions as prescribed in 30-A M.R.S.A. § 4452, Enforcement of Land Use Laws and Ordinances.
