§ 134-7. Rights of landowner.

A. 

The designation of a road as a scenic road shall not affect the rights of an abutting landowner as to planting trees in the right-of-way pursuant to RSA 31:52 and the landowner's rights in those trees as provided in RSA Chapter 231. Designation of a road as a scenic road shall not affect the rights of any landowner with respect to work on his/her own property, except to the extent that trees have been acquired by the municipality as shade or ornamental trees pursuant to RSA 231:139-156, and except that RSA 471:6 limits the removal or alternation of boundary markers including stone walls.

B. 

Any abutting landowner shall have the right to obtain a driveway permit as provided in the driveway and culvert policy and, if a permit is obtained, shall have the right to remove any tree or portion of stone wall as may be required for the construction of a driveway in conformity with such permit, provided that the intent of this chapter is met. Driveway, as provided in the driveway and culvert policy, includes entrances, exits or approaches to the public way, including bar ways or other necessary entrances to fields or forested lands.
