D. A ninety (90) day review period begins on the date of the meeting at which the completed application is formally accepted by the Board. The Board must begin formal consideration of the application within thirty (30) days. If the Board fails to act on the a= pplication within the ninety (90) day period, the applicant may either apply to the Selectmen for an order directing the Board to act within fifteen (15) days = of the issuance of the order or consent to an extension of the ninety (90) day review period.

SECTION IV.8. ACCESS TO HIGHWAYS

Pursuant t= o the authority vested in the Hollis Planning Board in accordance with the provis= ions of Chapter 249, New Hampshire Revised Statutes Annotated, as amended, the Hollis Planning Board adopts the following regulations governing access to highways in the Town of Hollis, New Hampshire.

A.      It shall be unlawful to construct, or alter in any way that which substantially affects the size or grade of any driveway, entrance, exit or approach within the limits of the right-of-way of any town street that does not conform to = the terms and specifications of a written permit issued by the Superintendent of Public Works Department, and for which the appropriate fee has been paid.
B.      Pursuant to this section, a written construction permit application must be obtained from the Superintendent of Public Works Department. Before any construction or alterat= ion work is commenced, said permit application shall have been reviewed, and a construction permit issued. S= aid permit shall:

<= span style=3D'mso-list:Ignore'>1.&n= bsp;      Describe the location of the driveway, entrance, exit or approach. The locatio= n shall be selected to most adequately   protect the safety of the traveling public.

<= span style=3D'mso-list:Ignore'>2.&n= bsp;      Describe any drainage structures, traffic contr= ol devices and channelization islands to be installed.

<= span style=3D'mso-list:Ignore'>3.&n= bsp;      Establish grades that adequately protect and promote highway drainage and permit a safe and controlled approach to the highway in all seasons of the year.

<= span style=3D'mso-list:Ignore'>4.&n= bsp;      Include any other terms and specifications necessary for the safety or the traveling public.

C.      It shall be the responsibility of the subdivider or individual lot owner to ob= tain state approval for proposed driveways and other accesses to the public way which access to a Class I, II, or III highway. Such approval shall be in accordan= ce with the provisions of Chapter 249, Section 17, New Hampshire Revised Statu= tes Annotated, as amended, and approval obtained from the Commissioner of Public Works and Highways. (Effectiv= e July 1, 1981, Routes 111, 111A, 122, 130, Depot Road and West Hollis Road are Cl= ass II highways. There are no Cla= ss I or III highways in the Town of Hollis.)

= ;

D.      ACCESS CONTROLS

1.&n= bsp;      Safe Sight Distance

a.      = Unless all season safe sight distance in both directions along the highway can be obtained, the Town shall not permit more than one access to a single parcel= of land, and this access shall be at that location the Planning Board determin= es to be the safest. All season = safe sight distance is defined as a line which encounters no visual obstruction between two (2) points, each at a height of three (3) feet nine (9) inches above the pavement, and ten (10) feet back from the road pavement 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.=

b.      = Safe sight distance shall be compatible with the maximum speed limit posted on the = road.

c.      = To prevent hardships to owners of small parcels of = land or special land uses, exceptions to the sight distance requirements should = be allowed for individual homes, agricultural land, public works land, highway department land, and temporary accesses for vehicles such as construction vehicles, gravel trucks and log trucks.&nb= sp; The road should then be properly signed for “Blind Drive”= ; or “Trucks Entering”.

2.&n= bsp;      Design Standards

Purpose-Dr= iveway plans including roads and utilities to be constructed and construction work= is subject to inspection and approval by an engineer authorized by the Town.
a.      = No more than two (2) driveways to a single commercial or industrial establishm= ent entering on a single highway shall be permitted unless frontage along said highway exceeds five hundred (500) feet.&n= bsp; Where frontage exceeds five hundred (500) feet, no more than three (= 3) driveways or approaches will be permitted,. For proposed developments with fro= ntage, which exceeds five hundred (500) feet, the construction of internal street systems or service roads outside of the highway right-of-way is necessary to provide greater safety for the development, as well as the highway users.
b.      = The maximum width of any driveway shall be fifty (50) feet except that a drivew= ay, entrance, exit, or approach may be flared beyond a width of fifty (50) feet= at its junction with the highway to accommodate the turning radius of vehicles expected to use the particular driveway, entrance, exit, or approach. The maximum width of any one-way entrance or exit driveway to a divided highway or one-way street shall no exceed thirty-five (35) feet measured parallel to the highway or street centerline at the curb or ditchline except that such driveway, entrance, ex= it, or approach may be flared beyond a width of thirty-five (35) feet at its junction with the highway.

c.      = The angle of the driveway with respect to the pavem= ent edge shall not be less than sixty degrees (60º) with desirable range between sixty degrees (60º) and ninety degrees (90º) except that a smaller angle may be used for entrance driveways along a divided highway, permitting only one-way operation of the driveway.

d.      = Return radii for driveways shall not exceed fifty (50) feet, nor be less than fift= een (15) feet.

e.      = It is recommended that a minimum of fifteen (15) fe= et be provided between the right-of-way line and the near edge of any service facility. In any event, this distance should be sufficient so that no vehicles will be serviced on state property or use any portion of the island area.

f.      = Parking, loading, or servicing of vehicles shall not take place on the highway right-of-way.&nb= sp; No structures including permanent or portable buildings, signs, ligh= ts, displays, fences, walls, sanitary facilities, shall be permitted on, over or under the highway right-of-way limits.

g.      = At rural intersections, the minimum distance between the nearest edge of the driveway and the crossroad edge of pavement, measure along the edge of pavement, shall be one hundred (100) feet for both the ma= jor and minor routes.

The Superi= ntendent of Public Works Department shall have the authority to increase these dista= nce if, in his opinion, such action is necessary for the protection of traffic.=
