§ 14-5. Consideration of applications for permits involving encroachment upon town property.

In his examination of an application for a permit to construct, enlarge or alter any building or structure or to move an existing building on the line of any street or intended to enclose any unimproved lot, the building official shall, before issuing the permit applied for, satisfy himself that no encroachment upon any street, easement, right-of-way or property belonging to the town will occur by reason of undertaking the project which is the subject of such application. If there is disagreement between the applicant for the permit and the building official in this respect, the burden of proof shall be upon the applicant, and the expenses of any survey which may be required to settle the issue shall be borne by the applicant.
