[Adopted 4-13-1982 by Art. 7, approved 8-11-1982]
The layout and acceptance of any private way shall be in accordance with the provisions of Chapters 80 and 82 of the General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, but the Selectmen shall not recommend acceptance of a road layout by the Town Meeting unless the owners of 75% of the properties abutting the way have agreed to accept the estimate of costs to be apportioned to each abutter or unless the Selectmen shall determine by a four-fifths vote of the Board that a compelling public need exists for acceptance of a particular way. No betterments shall be assessed until after acceptance of a road layout by the Town, nor for any way accepted by the Town prior to approval of this article.
