Sec. 17-29. - Paving of public streets without curb and gutter.

Petitions for paving without curb and gutter will be received by the council and accepted or rejected based on the meeting of certain criteria by the public street in question. The criteria are as follows:

(1)

That it shall apply only to existing dirt or gravel public streets for which paving would normally be done by the town and assessed against the property adjacent to it. It does not apply to new subdivisions.

(2)

The section of the public street to be paved shall be relatively level with a maximum grade of four (4) per cent.

(3)

The public street to be paved must be a minor residential public street, not a part of the town's thoroughfare plan, or one which for some other reason carries considerable traffic.

(4)

The section of the public street to be paved must be one that is not generally used for on-street parking.

Petitions for public street paving without curb and gutter shall be made on a form provided by the town for this purpose and shall include the statement that future improvements of the public street by construction of curb and gutter shall be assessed at the full rate with no allowance for previous assessments for paving alone.

Public street improvement petitions shall normally be done in the order in which they are received by the town.
