Upon request by the property owner and approval by the director, the public works department may install culverts on the public right-of-way for the purpose of providing access to residential, commercial, industrial and other properties. The property owner shall provide the appropriately sized concrete, HDPE or metal pipe as deemed necessary by the director of public works or city engineer. The maximum amount of culvert installed by the public works department under the provisions of this section and on any parcel or tract of land shall be limited to the amount needed to provide the maximum width of a driveway or entrance allowed under the provisions of the Cookeville Zoning Code. No fee shall be
charged for the installation of a culvert at a driveway or entrance. Should catch basins, fill dirt, seeding, end walls, or other drainage structures be deemed necessary by the director of public works as a result of the installation of a culvert for driveways or entrances, the property owner requesting the defined service shall provide such materials.
