It shall be unlawful to construct, or by any other means establish a driveway

existing or proposed street at a location where the slope of said street

with a negative slope of 2.0 percent running not less than 6.0 feet
inward from the edge of pavement. (Amended 4/8/97)

permits shall be the Sandown Town Road Agent.
