Sec. 18-61. - Buildings not on mapped streets.

No building permit for the erection of any building shall be issued unless the building lot abuts a street which has been placed on the official map giving access to the proposed structure, and that before a permit shall be issued, such street shall have been certified to be suitably improved, or such suitable improvements shall have been assured by means of a performance guarantee, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the subdivision regulations. Where the enforcement of this section would entail practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship, or where the circumstances of the case do not require the structure to be related to a street, the board may, in a specific case and after a public hearing for which reasonable notice has been given to all interested parties and at which parties in interest and others shall have an opportunity to be heard, make reasonable exceptions and issue a permit subject to conditions that will assure adequate access for firefighting equipment, ambulances and other emergency vehicles necessary for the protection of health and safety and that will protect any future street layout shown on the official map.
