Acting under Section 15C, Chapter 40 of the General Laws, the following roads are designed as Scenic Roads:
Designation as a Scenic road allows the Town to preserve the qualities and character of the town ways. Any repair, maintenance, reconstruction, or paving work done with respect thereto, of a Scenic Road shall not involve or include the cutting or removal of trees, or the tearing down or destruction of stone walls, or portions thereof, except with the prior written consent of the Planning Board after a Public Hearing duly advertised.
In granting or refusing such consent the Planning Board shall consider, among other things, the public safety, scenic views, preservation of historic and regional characteristics, and preservation and enhancement of natural and aesthetic qualities of the environment.
The Planning Board may adopt reasonable further standards relative to Scenic Roads not inconsistent with this Bylaw and the General Laws.
