The Road Commissioner of the Town may issue written permits authorizing the permittee to do any of the following acts:

a. Make an opening or excavation for any purpose in any Town highway.

b. Place, change or renew an encroachment.

c. Place or display in, under or over any Town highway any kind of advertising sign or device. Any such sign or device placed or displayed contrary to the provisions of this section is a public nuisance and the Town Road Commissioner may immediately remove it. The provisions of this section shall not prohibit the posting of any notice in the manner required by law or by the order of any court of this State.

d. Plant, remove, cut, cut down, injure or destroy any tree, shrub, plant or flower growing within any Town highway. Any person violating this section or who does any of the acts specified in this section without the authority of such a permit is guilty of a misdemeanor.

The Council reserves the authority and right to establish, by resolution, a schedule of fees for the engineering review and inspection of work performed under the authority of a written permit issued pursuant to the provisions of this article.

Any permit issued under the provisions of this article may provide that the permittee will pay the entire expense of replacing the highway in as good condition as before, and may provide such other conditions as to the location and the manner in which the work is to be done as the Town Road Commissioner finds necessary for the protection of the highway.

Any act done under the authority of a written permit issued pursuant to the provisions for this article shall be done in accordance with the applicable provisions of this article and the terms and conditions of such permit.

Any permit issued to a permittee of the class specified in Section 10-2-230 shall contain a provision that in the event of the future improvement of the highway, necessitating the relocation or removal of such encroachment, the permittee will relocate or remove the same at his/her sole expense. In such event, the Town Road Commissioner shall serve on the permittee his/her written demand specifying the place of location or that the encroachment must be removed from the highway and specifying a reasonable time within which the work of relocation shall be commenced. The permittee shall commence such relocation or removal within the time specified in the demand and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion. All permits other than those issued to permittees of the class specified in Section 10-2-230 are revocable on five (5) days' notice and the encroachment shall be removed or relocated as may be specified by the Town Road Commissioner in the notice revoking the permit and within the time specified by the Town Road Commissioner, which time shall not be less than such five (5) days unless the permit so provides.
