Each such application shall be accompanied by a true sketch of the proposed
driveway, drawn to scale, with sufficient detail of the adjacent area so that
the Superintendent can make a preliminary study before personally investigating
the site. The Superintendent may, in a proper case, require further or different
information from above set forth.
Upon the filing of the application, with the sketch, which shall be
deemed a part of the application, and after study of the same and a personal
examination of the proposed construction, the Superintendent may approve or
disapprove the application. In approving or disapproving any application,
the Superintendent shall consider all proposals for drainage, stormwaters,
grades, culverts, fill, facing and any other pertinent matters which would
in any manner affect the Town highway by the construction of the driveway
proposed in the permit application.
If such application shall be disapproved, the Superintendent shall endorse
on the application his reasons therefor, and the applicant shall have the
opportunity to remedy the defects and to resubmit the application.
If the application shall be approved, such approval shall be endorsed
upon each copy of the application, one to be returned to the applicant, one
to be retained by the Superintendent and the third to be filed with the Building
Inspector of the Town of Stanford. All applications shall be appropriately
indexed and numbered by the Superintendent and all such applications, whether
approved or disapproved, shall be deemed public records and kept in the office
of the Town Clerk.
In all cases where a driveway is proposed on premises for which a building
permit is necessary, no such building permit shall be issued by the Building
Inspector or any other department or agency of the Town of Stanford until
a driveway permit has been duly issued as above provided.
