Below is a = section of the subdivision regulations (Section 7.2, page 22-23) which pertains to driveways and other access to the public way. All driveway accesses must comply= with this regulation.

Also, pleas= e note that only the legal land owner of record is authorized to sign permit applications. Should the leg= al land owner of record wish to engage an agent, a notarized letter from the legal= land owner of record, designating the agent and limits of the agent’s authority must be received by the Planning Board prior to signing the application.

Driveway ac= cess permits expire one (1) year from date of original application. Reapplication including fees will= be required past that date.

7.3 (RSA 236:13) DRIVEWAYS AND OTHER = ACCESS TO THE PUBLIC WAY

A.&= nbsp; I= t shall be unlawful to construct, or alter in any way that substantially affects t= he size or grade of the driveway, entrance, exit, or approach within the limi= ts of the right-of-way of any town highway that does not conform to the terms and specifications of a written permit issued by the Planning Board for the To= wn of Alexandria.

B.&= nbsp; P= ursuant to this section, a written construction permit application must be obtained from and filed with the Planning Board of the Town of Alexandria by any ab= utter affected by the provisions of Paragraph A. Before any construction or alteration work is commenced, said permit application shall have been reviewed, and a construction permit issued by = said Planning Board. Said permit = shall:

1.&= nbsp; D= escribe the location of the driveway, entrance, exit, or approach. The location shall be selected to= most adequately protect the safety of the traveling public.

2.&= nbsp; D= escribe any drainage structures, traffic control devices, and channelization islan= ds to be installed by the abutter.

3.&= nbsp; E= stablish grades that adequately protect and promote highway drainage and permit a s= afe and controlled approach to the highway in all seasons of the year.

4.&= nbsp; I= nclude any other terms and specifications necessary for the safety of the traveli= ng public.

5. Driveway access permits expire one (1) year from date of issuance. After that date all applicants wi= ll be subject to new permits.

C.&= nbsp; F= or access to a proposed commercial or industrial enterprise or to a subdivisi= on, all of which for the purposes of this section shall be considered a single parcel of land, even though acquired by more than one conveyance or held nominally by more than one owner:

1.&= nbsp; S= aid permit application shall be accompanied by engineering drawings showing information as set forth in Paragraph B.

2.&= nbsp; U= nless all-season safe-sight distance of 200 feet in both directions along the hi= ghway can be obtained, the Planning Board shall not permit more than one access = to a single parcel of land, and this access shall be at that location which the Planning Board determines to be safest.&n= bsp; The Planning Board shall not give final approval for use of any additional access until it has been proven to them that the 200-foot all-s= eason safe sight distance has been provided.

3.&= nbsp; F= or the purpose of this section, all-season safe-sight distance is defined as a li= ne which encounters no visual obstruction between two (2) points, each at a h= eight of 3 feet 9 inches above the pavement, and so located as to represent the critical line of sight between the operator of a vehicle using the access = and the operator of a vehicle approaching from either direction.

D.&= nbsp; No construction permit shall allow:

1.&= nbsp; A driveway, entrance, exit, or approach to be constructed more than 50 feet = in width, except that a driveway, entrance, exit, or approach may be flared b= eyond a width of 50 feet at its junction with the highway to accommodate the tur= ning radius of vehicles expected to use the particular driveway, entrance, exit= or approach.

2. Private Way: A deeded right-of-way s= hall not serve as access to more than two (2) lots and shall be fifty (50) feet= in width. The roadway shall be constructed to provide adequate access for fire and other emergency vehicl= es. Should a third access be required = on a deeded right-of-way, the roadway then must comply with requirements in Sec= tion 7.2 New Roads.

Section III. NUMBERING SYSTEM

A uniform street numbering system has been developed = for all primary buildings based upon the following process.

&n= bsp;

= I. = ; Unused numbers will be held for future use to ensu= re against the need for renumbering.

= J. = ; Condominium complexes, shopping centers, malls, properties with multiple primary build= ings shall be assigned one street number corresponding to the primary entrance location.

= L. Street numbers shall be assigned by the Board of Selectmen or their designee.

= M. Primary buildings on existing numbered streets will retain their established street numbers and new numbers will only be assigned to unnumbered primary buildi= ngs in accordance with the existing established numbering pattern.

= N. No fraction of a street number or prefix or suffix to a street number shall be used. Internal numbers as st= ated in paragraphs J & K above shall be clearly marked or addressed separately= . Internal numbers are to be addres= sed as Apt. (apartment), Unit, Suite or Building Number after the street address.= Example:

For primary buildings not readily visible from the street, the assigned street number(s) shall be conspicuously displayed at the main vehicular (or pedes= trian if no vehicular access exists) access to the property, so as to be visible= on a year-round basis. The prefer= red method of display at the main vehicular or pedestrian access shall be on b= oth sides of a mailbox (see postal guidelines). However, if a mailbox is not loca= ted at the main access, or if there is no mailbox, then the assigned street numbe= r (s) shall be displayed on a sign post or similar means at the main access.

Every vehicular a= ccess (driveways or entrance ways) shall require a Planning Board Access Permit whether for public ways (Town or State maintained) and private way for subdivisions or site plans at the occurrence of building permit request(s)= or if no building permit is required when access construction is proposed and= work has started on the structure. Access ways requiring State of New Hampshire permits shall conform = to this ordinance.

= C. A driveway does not constitute a street and shall not be provided separate s= treet name and number.
