The purpose of these regulations is to regulate the construction
of connections to Town roads, taking into consideration storm drainage,
future expansion and safe access.
It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, corporation or municipality
to make any type of connection with any Town road without a permit
in writing from the Town Superintendent of Highways.
To obtain a permit, an application must be made in writing,
on the form provided, and signed by the applicant undertaking the
work. If the application is made by a municipality, the application
shall be executed by its proper officers. In lieu of such execution,
the municipality may by resolution, a certified copy of which shall
be filed with the Town, designate an agent or officer to execute applications
for permits.
Wherever the word TOWN is used in these regulations, it shall
also mean the Town of Orangetown and/or the Town Superintendent of
Highways or his representatives.
