The borough shall issue the following types of right-of-way use permits for borough rights-of-way:

A.

Right-of-way construction permits. Right-of-way construction permits are issued for construction of roads, driveways, trails and any related blockages which impede traffic flow or lawful use of rights-of-way related to construction, which include the following types of permits:

1.

Driveway permits for intersections within borough rights-of-way between private drives and borough rights-of-way.

2.

Project-specific construction permits for all construction within a borough right-of-way that is not covered by a driveway permit. Project-specific permits require improvement of a right-of-way, and may require improvement to borough standards set forth in KPB 14.06, Road Construction Standards.

B.

Maintenance permits. Maintenance permits are issued for citizen maintenance for borough rights-of-way. All citizen maintenance of borough-maintained roads shall be performed in accordance with the road service area code requirements and policies as adopted by the RSA board.

Permits; priority. Multiple permits may be issued for a right-of-way where the applications do not present a conflict.
