(a) It shall be a violation of this article for any person to encroach upon any public street, street rights-of-way or town easement areas without first receiving permission to do so from the town pursuant to this article.
(b) Permission to encroach shall be granted in appropriate cases through the terms of a non- exclusive, revocable encroachment permit or encroachment agreement, to be signed by the applicant and the town manager, using whatever form the town devises for that purpose. However, if the applicant must also receive a franchise for their intended business or activity from the town, permission to encroach upon a public street or street right-of-way may be granted through the terms of an appropriate franchise agreement.
