North Dakota § 24-07-07

• Jurisdiction: North Dakota
• Title 24: Highways, Bridges, and Ferries
• Ch. 24-07: Opening and Vacating Highways

Text

Whenever a petition is received by the board having jurisdiction, requiring a new road to be
laid out, said board, when in its judgment circumstances warrant the same, shall employ a
competent surveyor to survey and lay out said road, and such survey must include a line of
levels to be run over the laid out road and a grade line to be established thereon, such grade
line not to be greater than ten percent when completed. In laying out said road the board may
deviate or depart, or may direct a deviation or departure, from the road described in the petition
when it is practicable and less expensive to do so in order to obtain a grade line not exceeding
ten percent. Such surveyor shall prepare a plan and profile of the surveyor's survey and shall
file a copy of the same with the township clerk or the county auditor, as the case may be, and
the board having jurisdiction shall require that such road, when completed, must conform to the
plan and profile of the surveyor as filed with the township clerk or county auditor.
