No person, firm or corporation shall permit any structure or man-made object to encroach within a Town of Brookhaven right-of-way without first having obtained the written consent of the Town Superintendent of Highways.
No such permit shall issue unless the applicant can demonstrate that the maintenance of said encroaching structure or object is necessary for the health, safety and welfare of the occupant of said adjacent property, that said structure or object will not unduly endanger or interfere with the public usage of the right-of-way and that removal of said structure or object would create an undue financial hardship.
Prior to issuance of said permit, the landowner shall be required to execute a hold-harmless agreement in such form as shall be acceptable to the Town Attorney and shall cause the same to be recorded in the office of the County Clerk.
The Superintendent of Highways may impose such conditions as he deems are necessary to ensure the reasonable and safe use of said public right-of-way. In the event that said conditions are violated, the Superintendent of Highways may revoke the permit.
