12.08.010 Construction according to town plans.

With respect to construction of buildings and improvements upon any lot in the Madison Addition to the town, each owner, at his own expense, must construct a concrete or asphalt driveway apron of a design approved by the town engineer. The driveway apron must preserve the original drainage system in the Madison Addition and, in the discretion of the town engineer, must include a culvert. The finished grade of any driveway apron may not protrude above the elevation of the edge of the asphalt (street pavement) in the street right-of-way adjacent to the proposed driveway apron. (Ord. 154 (part), 1993)

12.08.020 Construction deposit.

Each owner shall, with the filing of a building permit application with the building official, deposit with the town the sum of three hundred fifty dollars to ensure that such owner constructs the driveway apron so as not to damage the pavement on the public streets in the Madison Addition. (Ord. 106 §2, 1985)

12.08.030 Building permit--Refund of deposit.

The town building official shall not issue a building permit until such time as the required deposit has been made or the driveway apron has been constructed. Upon satisfactory completion of the construction, and after inspection by the building official, the building official shall return the deposit to the owner. (Ord. 106 §3, 1985)

12.08.040 Nonrefund of deposit when.

In the event the owner fails or refuses to construct such driveway apron, or constructs the same without compliance with the specifications, the deposit may be applied toward the proper construction thereof for the prevention of damage to the asphalt streets in the public ways in the Madison Addition. (Ord. 106 §4, 1985)
