The act of granting, denying, or terminating a municipal right-of-way use permit is an exercise of the police power of the town. A person whose application for a municipal right-of-way use permit is denied must petition the board of mayor and aldermen for reconsideration before seeking judicial remedies, and must file such a petition within forty-five (45) days of the written denial of such application by the chief administrative officer. A petition is considered denied if the board of mayor and aldermen does not act within forty-five (45) days after the petition is filed with the town clerk. (Ord. #____, June 1997)
