(Ord. No. 446 N.S., § 2 (part); Ord. No. 472 N.S., § 2(part): Ord. No. 514 N.S., § 2)

In order to assure that structures will be accessible, and that grading and draining will not imperil any structures, adjoining properties or public roads, site development shall conform to the following requirements:

(a) Slope stabilization. Whenever, in the judgment of the building official, construction operations will result in slopes so steep that their stability may be in question, he may require retaining walls or other slope stabilization measures. These shall be made adequate to the satisfaction of the building official. Design by a registered professional engineer may be required.

(b) Drainage. The collection, diversion, interception and disposition of surface and subsurface waters shall be provided for in a manner which, in the judgment of the building official, will prevent any hazard to structures, slopes, and adjoining properties.

(c) Driveways. No portion of a driveway shall have a slope, measured along the center line, steeper than twenty-five percent, measured in ratio of rise to run, except with special approval by the building official. The vertical alignment of a driveway shall be such as to provide adequate stopping sight distance for vehicles using the driveway, and for on-coming vehicles at intersections. Driveways shall be paved with six inches of concrete, or two inches of asphaltic concrete over six inches of rock base, or of other equivalent and permanent material approved by the building official.

(Ord. No. 446 N.S., § 2 (part))

(a) No structure shall be erected or enlarged, and no building permit shall be issued for any lot fronting on an unimproved street unless the one-half of such street adjacent to the lot frontage and curb and gutter are improved to the standards determined by the town engineer. Any applicant for a building permit affected by this section shall be notified by the town of all requirements prior to issuance of a building permit.

(b) Any improvements required by this section shall be completed to the satisfaction of the town engineer prior to the final inspection for the building permit.
