(A) Form required. Application to the Board for permits to construct any entrance, driveway or approach connecting with any street, alley or highway right-of-way or to cut any curb along the street, alley or highway or to construct a crossover on the street alley or highway shall be made on the form as prescribed by the Board. Reasonable fees for processing driveway permits may be established by appropriate Board action.
(B) When required. Relocation, alteration, or remodeling of an entrance approach, driveway or crossover, or any change in the character of the use of the entrance, approach, driveway, or crossover shall be considered the construction of a new entrance, driveway, approach or crossover for which an application or permit for a wholly new entrance, approach, driveway, and/or crossover were being applied for. The granting or denial of such application shall be governed by the same rules and judged by the same standards as an application for a permit for a wholly new entrance approach, driveway, and/or crossover.
(C) Person making. All applications shall be made by the property owner. Other interested parties shall be listed for other than private access permits. Other interested parties shall include all adjoining property owners, lessees, purchase option holders and others willfully intent on developing the property or adjoining property. All such persons listed shall sign and consent to restrictions imposed as consideration of the request being approved, or unless specifically waived by the Board, the application shall be denied.
(D) Disclosure of intended use for or with adjacent parcels. All applications for permits shall disclose the present and proposed use of the parcel for which access is requested. Any intended use of the access in conjunction with any adjacent parcel, whether owned by the applicants or by others or to be purchased or sold by the applicant or others, shall be disclosed in the application. All adjacent parcels owned or controlled by the applicants, whether intended to be used in conjunction with the requested access or not shall be disclosed in the application. In the case where applicants own or control adjacent parcels, the Board may require applicants to dedicate easements for driveways to facilitate the use of combined entrances so that the number of access points along the highway may be controlled to ensure the public a safe and convenient means of travel consistent with the right of the adjoining landowner to have access as provided by law.
(E) Designs. All applications shall be filed in accordance with the standards, specifications and design requirements of the Board. The permittee agrees to make the improvements in accordance with such standards, specifications and design requirements of the Board.
(F) Commercial application; engineer’s attestation. All applications for commercial purposes shall be signed by a registered professional engineer, and/or registered land surveyor, attesting that the applications as proposed, conform with all Board rules and standards, except as he shall note in such attestation. All exceptions shall be accompanied by an explanation as to why the exception should be granted.
(G) Other laws. Approval of a permit application shall be subject to the permittee obtaining all necessary approvals involving land use from the zoning board and/or Plan Commission having jurisdiction or authority and complying with all applicable laws.
