(a) The following table lists minimum and maximum widths (in feet) and turning radii for various types of driveways:
(b) The table assumes one lane for ingress and one lane for egress. Driveway widths shall be measured perpendicular to the centerline of the driveway at the street right-of-way line. Driveways that enter a public roadway at traffic signals shall have the number of lanes as determined by a capacity analysis.
(c) Number of Driveways: Each lot is permitted to have a single, two way driveway except in cases where a Traffic Impact Study clearly demonstrates the benefits of a second driveway from the standpoint of traffic movement. Examples of where a second drive may be justified include large corner lots where driveways on both streets may be desirable and instances where two, one-way drives are preferred more than one, two-way drive. There shall not be more than two access ways abutting on any one street.
(d) Location: Each point of ingress and/or egress shall not be closer than thirty (30) feet to an intersecting street right-of-way line. For driveways that serve more than one commercial, multifamily, office, or industrial development, or driveways that intersect with a collector or arterial street, all points of ingress and/or egress shall be located no closer than one hundred (100) feet to the intersection of two thoroughfares, unless such a distance is shown to be undesirable in a Traffic Impact Study.
(e) Alignment: New driveways shall be aligned with existing driveways across a street unless such alignment is shown to be undesirable in a Traffic Impact Study. Where such alignments are shown to be undesirable, the centerlines of opposing driveways shall be offset by at least one hundred (100) feet.
(f) Construction Materials: Each ingress and/or egress driveway shall be improved with concrete from the street apron to the entrance of the parking area.
(g) Conditional Approval of Driveways: As part of the Site Plan review process, a Site Plan may be approved with a specific driveway location under the condition that an agreement is reached between the property owner and the Village requiring that such driveway(s) be closed when specific circumstances are met. Such circumstances may include the future construction of a service road on adjacent property, the opportunity for a shared driveway with development of adjacent property, or other site specific circumstances. This conditional approval may be required even if the driveway(s) conforms to all other requirements of this Section.
