A. It is unlawful for any person to cut, break, tear out or remove the curbing or any part thereof along the street in the town for any purpose except in accordance with this article. Any person desiring to cut any curbing in the town shall first obtain a permit from the town before doing so. Application for such permit shall be in writing to the town and shall state the time and place that applicant desires to break the curbing. The application shall contain such other information as is required by the town.
B. The town may, in its discretion, refuse to approve any permit to cut any curbing along the streets of the town when the cutting of the curbing shall constitute a traffic hazard, or interfere in any way with the safety of the public in the use of the street or adjacent sidewalk, or in any way deteriorate or damage the street or interfere with the use thereof by the public. Only such portions of any curbing may be cut or removed as in the opinion of the building officer may be consistent with and not detrimental to the general public welfare. (1998 Code)
