§ 10-4. Purpose—Generally.  


Latest version.
  • The purpose of this article is to provide for and ensure the preservation and the orderly, economic and adequate development and expansion of an adequate highway transportation system within the county; and to protect and conserve the public interest, presently and for the future, in streets, highways and roads within the county, having adequate alignment, dimensions and vision clearance, by preventing the encroachment of permanent improvements, the existence of which would render unnecessarily difficult, impracticable and uneconomical the maintenance and expansion of an adequate highway system. It is found and declared that the establishment of a minimum setback line is necessary to the carrying out of the general purposes set forth in this section and to the protection and preservation of the public interest and safety.
